Date women from United States / California / Occidental, 56 year old

Date a soulmate from California, United States. My life is full of life, love, laughter, family, health and nurture. After 18 years in Santa Monica, California, I moved to the lush beautiful Northern California in the country, where I maintain an active health practice among the redwoods and slight breeze on afternoons when I can read a book outside and enjoy a nice glass of wine or tea, dependingon my mood. I consider myself lucky and blessed to have had so many rich life experiences, a life filled with international travel and cultures, a wonderful son who lives in a big city, friends that frequently visit or invite me to their homes in other states. What's missing? A life partner for the future. My ideal man (heck, even a couple of great dates might inspire me) is an unquestionable giver, secure, smart, funny and not threatened by being with a smart, sexy, secure woman who only wants joy, happiness and peace. A bit cliche, I am sure, but don't we all deserve a little fairytale?
My interests include reading, horseback riding, painting (I have my own art studio) impressionist landscapes, yoga, hiking, animals, live music (rock and roll), and I am open to learning new ones as well. I have a sense of adventure and a spirit of fun that is backdropped with my self which is soft and balanced and full of nurture.
I am a petite girl with a lot of spunk and life, with no complaints (to date!) over my body or, ummm. interests. Feels good saying that at my age Although let's be clear, I am not looking for the "booty call," just an awesome sweet fun man to hold my hand, share intellectual interests, banter in a light and funny way, travel the world or even just down the street to breakfast or a farmer's market, and to basically share time and space with.
Let's see what happens.....
