Date a soulmate from California, United States. I was born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area and have ventured away to live near Augusta, Maine, Chicago, Illinois, and Seattle, Washington. I enjoyed living in each of these places but always found myself returning home to Northern California. My family and life time friends are here and I really value their love and friendship. I also love being close to the ocean and to the Sierras. My current home is Napa, and I have lived in and out of Napa for over thirty years. I've witnessed a lot of change in the local culture.
Life has been kind to me and I have enjoyed and still enjoy many outdoor activities including fishing, biking, walking, swimming, camping, gardening, and skiing. While I love to visit big cities I really feel most at home around small towns and natural landscapes. I like to work on projects and hope to spend more of my time with hobbies and creative endeavors.
While i am semi-retired (retired from teaching leadership studies at the graduate level), I run a small leadership consulting and coaching company. I have a lot of freedom and can pick and choose when and where I work. So, that is pretty ideal.
I am a widow from my first marriage and my second marriage ended in a divorce six years ago. In the past year I found myself reflecting about my life and decided that while it was full it was not complete. So here I am writing this introduction. I'm trying to let you know something about me and who I am looking for. I am a stable, honest, fun-loving gal who wants to share the beauty of living with a special man. I desire a partner, who when it shakes out, wants me as much as I want him, for both of us to be excited and joyful at the sight or thought of each other, and to have each others' interests always close to heart. I want to build intimacy within this future relationship and realize that this type of deep caring is currently missing from my life. Having said all this, in the end the only thing that counts for anything isnРІР‚в„ўt our words, but rather what we do. I hope this finds at least one resonating, kindred spirit.
I've got the roadster, but where are you?
Meet someone special from California, United States. IРІР‚в„ўm down to earth, well-adjusted woman, with no children & on good terms with my ex (IРІР‚в„ўm told that is a good thing, I always thought so). Friends say my sense of humor is my best quality. IРІР‚в„ўm comfortable with a variety of people and situations and donРІР‚в„ўt consider myself demanding. When I asked friends to help me with this profile they agreed that: IРІР‚в„ўm fun to be around, IРІР‚в„ўm a very friendly person, make others feel comfortable, easy to talk to, happy, very caring and I look much younger than my age (which only means I have good genes and I work at keeping fit).
I have had a great career life and IРІР‚в„ўm now enjoying my retirement.
I find less is more and happiness comes from within. I am not a religious person but I am spiritual.
IРІР‚в„ўve traveled enough to realize how fortunate I am to have been born in the USA. I usually travel abroad once a year but I would like to visit more of the United States in the next few years.
