Date someone special from Pacific Palisades, United States. I've been told that I'm imaginative, pretty, fit, slender, honest, funny, incredibly silly at times, dependable, intuitive, intelligent, creative, and musical. I can be passionate as well as introspective. I'm affectionate and playful but take things seriously when appropriate. I believe that the best medicine in the world consists of genuine love and a good laugh, and I strive to have a good deal of both in my life. Looking at the glass as half-full (or entirely full, on a good day) and remaining a child at heart and open to surprises has served me well.
I am fortunate to work in mind/body medicine at a major university among fantastic colleagues, along with my private practice. Not much of a TV viewer (other than "Glee", "Smash", and news -- and re-runs of Cheers and Seinfeld), I enjoy movies and some cable, of the intriguing, educational, romantic, blockbuster, or special-effects varieties. I suppose that covers a lot of ground. I enjoy musical theater, as both an attendee and performer (not so much of the latter these days), along with concerts (rock, pop, blues, soul, classical), the aforementioned movies, dining out, long walks, comedy acts, talking about all sorts of topics -- the company is the important thing.
Additional hobbies of mine include hiking, yoga, travel, baking (cheesecakes are my specialty), meeting new people, singing, and reading. I'm also an avid daily power walker/hiker and practice some serious weight-bearing yoga every day. As for holidays, I love them (especially Christmas!), as well as any opportunity to celebrate. I'm hoping to do more traveling in the near future, either local or far and wide. Experiencing different cultures and styles of living always expands my perspective.
I am a romantic at heart, loyal and devoted. Perhaps it's old-fashioned, but I do love roses and candlelight. I stay in touch with the child as well as the woman in me. I'm looking to meet an upbeat, honest, kind, and energetic man, with whom I feel connected on emotional as well as physical and spiritual levels. I've experienced this before and know it to be possible. To me, life is best when shared.
Meet a soulmate from Pacific Palisades, United States. I am a witty and warm, sweet and sexy, intellectual woman of integrity looking for her equal in a man who is emotionally healthy, likes women and is physically functioning. (Is that too much to ask??) I have two wonderful (most of the time) sons, ages 18 and 15, who live with me (the 18 yr old is away at college). Aside from my family and friends, I love Faulkner, Woody Allen (pre-Soon Yi), Monty Python, Tom Lehrer, soap operas, crossword puzzles, Israel, and a good miniseries about British royalty (in no particular order). I am a part-time working professional.I have a deep love for reading and I belong to 2 book groups, one that I started almost 18 years ago, and one that reads "ridiculously long classic novels". I try to "get out into the world", and serve on 2 boards: the Cancer Support Community (formerly the Wellness Center) and am the VP of Ways and Means at University Synagogue. The man I'm looking for is not necessarily an exact replica of me (actually, that probably wouldn't be the greatest idea), but is a person of substance, humor and class. It would be wonderful to find someone with whom to share values, interests, love and laughs.
Date a woman from Pacific Palisades, United States. Originally from New Zealand, spent three years in Australia and now living in sunny California.
I'm a free spirit ,with a loving heart with a zest for life. Understood fully only by those who have been brave enough to take the steps, to get to know themselves. I love the outdoors, boating, swimming, skiing, hiking, yoga and almost any sport that helps keep me fit and healthy.
I love to cook and have done so for some of New Zealand's finest people, The New Zealand Prime Minister, Keri Te Kanawa (famous opera singer) and many more government officials. Dining out is also fun and there are many great restaurants in this town to enjoy a good meal and a fine glass of wine.
I'm a lucky person and to give you an example of that, I managed to win my green card through the US green card lottery program. I'm optimistic, ambitious and love to travel and explore new places.
Currently I work as an International property Manager and I'm studying for my Real Estate License. Travelling is something that excites me and some of the places I'm wanting to spend more time in are Spain, England, Scotland, Ireland, Sweden, and France, just to mention a few.
Would love to meet a man whom is thoughtful, successful, enjoys life and all it has to offer.
