Date women from United States / California / Belmont Shore, 41 year old

Date a soulmate from California, United States. Well, Hiiiii! :) Mainly, I don't like to take life too seriously, I believe in doing what's right, and have fun doing it! My son and I are very close. He is 19 and a good sweet awesome typical teenager. And he IS absolutely my number one.
I'm pretty down to earth. I moved here from Wyoming about 9 years ago. I grew up in Northern California, but I really, truly love Southern California. Not so much the taxes, but hey, you get what you pay for, right?
Umm what else? I live a block from the beach, I am very outgoing and enthusiastic. I am optomistic (yet somewhat of a realist) and enjoy spending time with others who are optomistic. I have a lot of life experiences and expect to continually learn from others. I am intrigued by someone who offers me a different perspective (although I don't always like to hear it!).
I do enjoy a fine glass of wine, pretty regularly, so if you are sober.... FORGET IT. HAHA!
People would describe me as witty and fun...definitely silly. I really enjoy life and find humor in almost everything.
I have recently gone through a soul searching whereby I have realized that what I get paid for in life should be what I love to do. So, I am currently studying Reiki (if you aren't familiar, look it up!) and studying to become a Personal Fitness Trainer. Awesome. I can't wait for what tomorrow will bring!
In my spare time I work on my art. So, if I show you my artwork and you don't like it, that's a deal breaker. Just kidding.. .. . ...
Hmm. well, that's it in a nutshell. It tires me to write this. I can tell you a lot about myself here, but we all know you will form your opinions if you meet me. :)
What am I looking for? I don't know, what is every woman in the world looking for? If I knew I would have found it already...! HA!

Meet someone special from California, United States. Not too Fancy...Definitely not plain. I'm quite practical and very easily entertained (and apparently, a poet). A last minute trip is my idea of adventure.
I enjoy the simple things in life...a quiet night at home with a bottle of wine, cooking together, or a movie in the dark--with a few candles flickering in the background.
Long walks on the beach are cute and romantic but really -- I'd rather be at a ballpark spilling my beer on your feet as I cheer for the unexpected home run because the left fielder let the ball roll between his legs. (you with me?)
I would like to find a man who has the nerve to point out my faults but has the courage to stand by me. Someone who will inspire me to be a better person but will accept me for who I am.
I'm a strong independent person, but would like to find someone who I can share my thoughts, hopes and dreams with.
Profiles with current pictures are preferred & greatly appreciated, also please don't lie about your height cause when we meet I will know that you are not 5'10 because I'm 5'10 in heels....Thanks.
