Date someone special from Arcata, United States. I am 47 years old, recently separated and on the way to being divorced. I work in the medical field and have been a serious dancer for most of my life. I work a lot, and play a lot as well. I am happiest when I am outside and have a deep sense of gratitude for the natural world. I love snorkeling, back packing, skiing, sailing and wildlife observation/botany. I'd like to try snow-shoeing and scuba diving. I enjoy movies, but really dislike TV (haven't ever had one in my home). Instead of TV, I read -- mostly contemporary fiction, but also non-fiction related to medicine and science. Mary Oliver is my favorite poet. I am quite gregarious, social, and playful. I am easily moved by the misfortunes of others and will (almost) always champion the underdog. Health and wellness are important to me and I believe that physical activity and nutrition are the keystones of optimal health. I care deeply about my work and consider being a health care provider a tremendous honor. I have two children, whom I adore. I'm a good communicator and totally authentic.
The most important things to me in a relationship are communication and sharing. I also feel having similar values and world view matters a lot.
