Date women from United States / California / Petaluma, 37 year old

Date someone special from Petaluma, United States. What I do know is I like people. I am kind, honest, and straight forward. I take my work seriously, I love my friends and I love myself. I've worked very hard to be where I am today. I also know that if you don't have a sense of humor....you're screwed. I've met people and been to places most others have not. I've learned to appreciate simple things in life. I love walking my dog at the beach, even though sometimes she tries to eat other dogs.
I'm looking for someone who is fun, mature, and has experienced life.

Meet a soulmate from Petaluma, United States. I am a city girl/country girl hybrid. It would be wonderful to find the same. As cliche as it sounds; I am whole-heartedly as comfortable in high heels as in hiking boots.
I believe that getting lost sometimes is part of the journey.
I consider myself a smart, fun, grounded, active, motivated, independent, easygoing, yet successful person. I am an independent contractor, decorating environments for photographs. I have my career in place and am financially stable. I have worked really hard to be where I stand. I am a creative thinker.
I love to have fun, and am good at it. I tend to work hard for the things that I want, then squeeze out all the goodness from the "free time". I tend not to do the bar or club thing so much anymore. I prefer long meals, all day eating and sipping at the coast, getaways, bbq's, events.
I was raised in Los Angeles, lived overseas, and in SF, currently live in Petaluma, and work mostly in Marin, and SF.
I am self aware, kind and loving. In a relationship, I am affectionate and love affection. I have done my psychological homework, and seek clear and clean communication whenever possible.
I am definitely a strong woman (yet still very feminine), and want to attract an equal. I'm not looking for someone to fix or take care of.
I love to travel, have done a fair share, and look forward to doing much more. I have traveled alone extensively in the past, but really look forward to traveling with a partner-in-crime. I really value real-life education.
When I'm not on a work project, I tend to spend my time enjoying great food and wine with friends. I try to fit in lots of yoga, and long trail runs. When I haven't been physically active, my body craves it. I love being outdoors, big hikes, camping, etc. I love to be in, on, or around water.
Dance parties seem to break out in my kitchen on a somewhat regular basis. I love Sunday brunch. Lazy mornings with great coffee is a beautiful thing.
I tend to be surrounded with good solid easygoing, yet highly motivated people. I think that it's important to keep things in perspective. I have a serious side, but I don't take myself too seriously. I tend to stir things up (in a good way). I am definitely sassy and opinionated. I believe in the seriousness of laughter.
I strive for balance and moderation in this modern world.
Ultimately, I am seeking a healthy and loving relationship.
