Date women from United States / California / Novato, 58 year old

Date a soulmate from California, United States. I am a smart, soulful, affectionate and resourceful (sometimes silly) woman with an unquenchable curiosity and passion for living life to the fullest. I'm in good shape and hear the comment often that I look younger than I am. Maybe its my playful energy!
I'm successful in life and work in organizational development and personal transformation (my livelihood depends on my creativity, resourcefulness, and seeing the best in people).
I aspire for balance in a full life that includes a large network of friends, family, fun, and sensuality. I take care of my bodymindsoul by swimming, working out, yoga, dance, hot springs getaways and massage.
I grew up in upstate NY- and although I don't miss the winters, I loved the lakes and countryside. I could see myself eventually living (at least part time) in a place that encouraged a slower lifestyle and lots of access to nature.
I'm looking for a special guy who can be my best friend and lover...someone who is creative and is making a difference, you might even be a visionary... conscious, strong and kind.... you would be humble but extraordinary in quiet ways, you would enjoy watching out for me and appreciate being taken care of. Someone who I have great harmonics with in voice, body, sexuality, emotions, honesty, openness, truth, and humor. (Please post photo if you would like a reply)
Kindness, intelligence, curiosity, open-heartedness, and "real" communication are qualities I bring and am attracted to in others.
I love simple things: the unique gifts each person has, Sunday at the farmer's market, hiking on a new path in any one of the unlimited trails in Marin, cooking a great meal, music parties (playing with small gatherings of friends), reading and dancing. Can't live without music- XM rocks (the Loft, Coffeehouse, Spectrum), Pandora.
I have a zest for life and a "glass is overflowing" outlook. I love children, creativity, learning, diversity in people and experience, discovering new places and being involved in making the world a better place. I meditate and do yoga for spiritual connection. I'm a good listener and student of life. Although I'm independent and appreciate "alone time", I would love to find a partner to have fun and share my rich life with. I am interested in meeting people in a spirit of new friendship and exploration rather than the somewhat forced and artificial mating dance dynamic or "dating".

Meet a woman from California, United States. What I mostly like to do is hike, I like everything that goes with it; dogs, trees, bugs, rocks, creeks, birds, spiders, trail mix and it is especially nice if food and a fire are involved.
Spent most of today thinking about what kind of profile to write, what I like about myself, what I don't, what I am looking for. It was quite a lovely way to spend a sultry December day. Feel a little uncomfortable about joining match but it isn't an adventure without a bit of discomfort.
So, I am nice, try to be kind, hopefully not too high maintenance. I read New Yorker magazine for the jokes and Sun magazine and just about anything else. At any point in time, you can sit me down give me a book and a burrito and I'll be fine for a couple of hours.
What I am looking for? Someone to hang out with, obviously hike, check out the night sky. I'd love to take a bunch of time off and drive cross country. I find men who are flexible, independent, don't take life too seriously attractive. Looks and body type not that important, extra pounds that are from a bit of indulgent is just fine, several extra pounds that affect your ability to do things/your health not so fine. I am small boned about 120lbs.
Some less than perfect things about me:
I will tell you I am not very hungry and then eat most of your food.
I like LA.
More on the perfect side:
Pretty good cook, lots and lots of friends who always make me laugh, have cool dogs, a great little sister and two pretty terrific kids. My job is taking care of people, which I immensely enjoy.
Travel light, like good strong coffee with Clover organic whole milk (a bit of a snob about coffee). Don't have a competitive bone in my body. Don't mind being cold.
I have never seen the Mississippi or the Aurora Borelius but would like to sometime soon.
I am regularly described as unique but that may not always be a good thing.

Date someone special from California, United States. Wouldn't it be great if a wink turned into a date, then a friendship and over time a deep, committed relationship?
Are you looking for a woman who goes the extra mile for her partner, cherishes her longterm friendships, and has a passion for making a difference?
Every year I travel to Kenya for a month where I teach public speaking at a girls school. I delight in seeing the young women build confidence and skills needed to be future leaders.
I stay fit with yoga, cycling, swimming, hiking, sailing -- while the exercise is important, I also enjoy the camaraderie of racing across the pool or tacking to the finish line. Eating healthy is important to me but beware - those who know me come to love my brownies and strawberry short cake.
I have just moved to a new home, and am looking foward to enjoying a sunset with a special someone out on my front porch.
In the past, I have cycled over the Alps, sailed the Caribbean,and sat in silence for ten days.
Honesty and integrity are essential. Singing, telling jokes and repairing the sink not required.
If you love adventure, giggling and making amazing memories together I may be the woman for you.
