Date men and women from United States / California / Moraga, 56 year old

Date someone special from California, United States. My roots are East Coast old money but my growth came from living in London, Hong Kong and Thailand before becoming a Californian over a decade ago. My interests and tastes are catholic (with a lower case c) but have the air of conventionality about them: I can equally enjoy hiking old growth forests and buying a pair of great high heel shoes, listen to Clair de Lune and find new music on youtube, pair aqua with fushia or cobalt.
My tastes and experiences may be wide, but integrity and creativity is what I value most in myself and in others.
I have long-lasting friendships with people in every place I have lived and when I visit them, it is like we have only been parted for a short time. I have good relationships with my family and we enjoy exploring new ways to spend time together.
I love my work. Its my second profession and in the interest of full disclosure, my first career was at the sharp end of international investment banking (which I loved) and I left it after 17 years to be a full time mom (which I equally loved) and now have a typical INFJ profession where I value the active listening, logical analysis of facts and collaboration.
I love to cook and once challenged myself to spending a year cooking something new every day. I did make exceptions for chocolate chip cookies, festival food and any heartfelt request! When I visit family or friends, they always share their kitchens with me.
To me the good things in life are excellent health, a positive attitude, a British sense of humor and a taste for adventurous food. When given the choice, my vacation includes some awe-inspiring architecture either natural or man-made to feed my spiritual side. When I have free time, I like mix up the routine with something new - like I will always try new places to walk but will happily share my favorite trails with others.
I believe I have been profoundly lucky in life, even the waves that hit me have been for the best. Ok - sometimes it took me awhile to work out that the wave that hit me was for the best so I am working towards accepting the things that can't be changed. I also believe in respecting boundaries and believe a challenge offered others should be an invitation.
I am very happy in life but I would like to explore the possibility of a romantic relationship based on mutual respect and shared interests. I am looking for a date who lives with integrity, has a good connection with his family and friends, and who takes care of himself. I would like to explore new interests (even sports) with a person seeped in his enthusiasms, who is comfortable expressing himself but also comfortable with the silence of understanding.

Meet a woman from California, United States. I canРІР‚в„ўt wait to meet you. On that first date, you will recognize me because I am the tall one. It is natural for me to smile and be playful. As time goes on, you will know that I am faithful, genuine, honest, feminine, hard working, not afraid of getting down and dirty, open minded, passionate, spiritual, a great listener and someone who wants quality in life and love.
I am a huge fan of college sports. Love the fun bantering about politics, spiritual beliefs and the last movie we saw. I live to laugh and find the joy in each day. It makes me feel good to volunteer and give back. Love biking (although my bike was stolen), training and walking Buster (as in Posey--yes, I am a Giant's fan), photography, holding hands, warm weather, Pilates, Twain Harte, live music , dive bars with great blues music, theater, competitive solitare (with actual cards!), getting dressed up and on the flip side putting my hair up and working in the garden in my bathing suit. Wine tasting. Farmer’s markets. Trying new adventures...even dancing with my two left feet. Weekend drives and even longer trips with the right person (I am a tad spoiled…..I used to work in the travel industry...remember TWA?).
Give me an opportunity to entertain...."making special occasions and making occasions special." My favorite simple pleasure is cooking together, trying a new recipe, firing up the grill, sipping our favorite wine and stealing that special kiss and hug from my man.
I am so proud being a homeowner (just refinanced and I am walking away with an incredible interest rate) and tackling my home improvement projects. Would love someone who knows what to do with a hammer, or has the phone number of someone who has one!
Family and friends are incrediably important to me and I hope you feel the same. I love little children, so if you are that stage in life and have grandkids, know that I can put on my tiara and play "Princess", build sand castles and shoot hoops, and I love to read bedtime stories.
I have been single for a very long time while I raised my boys. They are now young men, who are successful in life. Number #1 son, just graduated from USC and number #2 has one more year at Davis. What more could a mom want? Well, let me tell you......a lot more and my boys can't wait for me to find a love!
I am looking for a long-term relationship that touches us emotionally, physically and spiritually.
I absolutely demand honesty and integrity, because you will get that from me. I want to love and be loved again….
Hugs to us...
