Date men and women from United States / California / Nipomo, 44 year old

Date a woman from Nipomo, United States. My close friends would say that I am a great friend but I work too much and put every ounce of myself into what I do. I am an educator and I love kids. I just finished my Master's degree in education and I am excited about the potential that brings. I have a terrific daughter in high school that brings me indescribable joy as well as the issues of having a teenager.
To be honest, I find myself here after 25 years of marriage and being separated for almost a year now. I would love to find someone that shares similar interests, to be a friend and companion. I have learned a lot. Life should be shared with your best friend and lover. Communication is essential to a great relationship. A great relationship is formed by those that truly work on giving daily to each other and are willing to work through differences accepting each other unconditionally.
I enjoy being outside or inside. I love to cook and entertain for family or friends. I enjoy the beach and the mountains. I enjoy going to church and helping anywhere I'm needed. I enjoy almost anything because I believe it is the company that you are with that makes it fun. I love to have fun and laugh. I can even laugh at myself in most situations. I am now focusing on getting fit and healthy. I have started yoga and rididng my bike again. I would love to meet someone to help keep me motivated ans share in activities. Walking the beach holding hands would be great, perhaps with our dogs. Snuggling on the couch is great too.
To borrow another's statement on here, " we all have some sort of drama and it's how we handle that drama". Anyone who has known me for long understands that I do not have a simple life but I deal with it very well. My faith keeps me grounded and sane. Afterall, I have a teenager at home and 175 more everyday during the school year. I have managed to keep my red hair without it turning grey. I'm doing great. I have truly been blessed with my life. I am excited about meeting new people and making great friends.
I do not have picture because I didn't feel comfortable posting it with my job. I didn't want kids coming to school knowing my personal business. Please ask me.
