Date women from United States / California / Saint Helena, 41 year old

Date a soulmate from California, United States. I LOVE and CRAVE:
Indulging in this hedonistic wine country lifestyle, but balancing it out with deep conversation and listening to music with friends, introspection, quiet nights at home with a good book or movie.
Long strolls with my pooch around town.
Spending the day on the Sonoma coast hiking and staring at the ocean, reconnecting.
Catching a live show at a small music venue or festival.
Driving with the windows down and the music loud.
Meeting new people and sharing stories that will stay with us.
Being kind to strangers.
Feeling completely out of my element!
Strong, self made men.
Men with musical abilities.
Larger than life personalities.
Smart people who know about things I don't and being with people who enjoy the things I do...
People with opinions and life experience.
Feeling like I am part of something bigger than just myself.
Being an independent, self confident woman!
ESSENTIAL TO MY WELL BEING:
Live music-it captivates me!
Friends who have my best interests at heart. There is nothing like knowing you are loved by a friend.
Wine-I make it and I am studying to become a sommelier and a wine educator
Cooking Great Food-I cook constantly! I love everything about it. I think about it and read about it constantly.
TRAVELING to far away places and leaving life behind while I am away.
I have a big personality - I like to laugh and shine, it's innate to me! I'm not loud or obnoxious and I don't make a scene, I'm just happy about life most of the time.
I am not a drama girl and I refuse to participate in games of the heart, one would have to be a masochist to take part in a game with so few rewards...if this is how you associate being loved, we have nothing to confer about. I am a together woman. I don't need to be fixed and have no interest in fixing you...through a few unwelcome experiences and a lot of introspection, I have recently figured out that I have zero tolerance for people who lie to me, exaggerate the truth to show themselves in an unfair light or to make the story more dramatic. I need to work on my tolerance level and learn not to let these people get to me. I'm still a work in progress.
I am open and honest and love to share and enjoy my life with others!

Meet someone special from California, United States. My friends describe me as outgoing, flexible, intelligent, health conscious, laughs a lot, sweet and compassionate. I help disadvantaged people and animals. My pets are rescue animals. Also, instead of bringing biological children into a world with so many orphans, I desire to help find good permanent homes for orphans.
IРІР‚в„ўm seeking a financially stable, kindhearted man who has no biological offspring. IРІР‚в„ўm seeking friendship first for companionship where we enhance each otherРІР‚в„ўs kismet.
It’d be nice to share long hikes and intellectual discussions on a multitude of topics including, technology, new ideas, politics, economics, health, fitness, nutrition, etc with my partner. I enjoy creating unique healthy cuisine. It’s getting boring cooking for myself…It’d be more enjoyable to cook for two.
Thanks for reading my profile. I wish the best to everyone in finding their dream partner and relationship:)
