Date a soulmate from California, United States. My life is good, but would be better with the right person to share it. People describe me as trustworthy, friendly, kind, thoughtful, positive, artistic, attractive and intelligent. I like to travel whether it's hiking in a rain forest in Costa Rica or dining in Paris. One of my pleasures is working with children. A former teacher, I now am a volunteer art teacher in our local school district, and also paint oils from my travel photos. I try to take care of my health--no smoking!--and exercise on a regular basis. Love to dance, but haven't done much in the last few years. A three-year-plus widow, I am ready to make a new life for myself.
