Date someone special from California, United States. Not an ordinary girl!
About me and who I am looking for:
I am: Sassy. Sexy. Smart. Witty. Positive. Fun. That’s the short version, anyway! But, really, I’m a woman of curiosity, spirituality and passion—I give my all to everything I do. What else should you know about me? I am not your average girl. I often talk to strangers. I sing, dance and laugh loudly. I believe in giving back and help others in all those important little ways whenever I can. I possess a positive attitude and energy. And I’m always thinking outside the box. I have a great job that I do well. And lots of fun. It’s a great life, all told. There’s just one thing missing.
I’ve thought a lot about the kind of man I’d like to meet. I won’t deny I appreciate a stylish, successful man with a great smile. But I’m looking for a man of heart and personality. He is laid back yet motivated. He understands the importance of sincerity and communication. Sensual and affectionate, he will love me as deeply as I love him. He has a great sense of humor—and an intact sense of adventure, too. And if he’s got a nice tush? I may just be a goner.
No, IРІР‚в„ўm not your average girl. And IРІР‚в„ўm not looking for your average guy. But if you are funny, affectionate, secure and smart, IРІР‚в„ўd love to hear from you!
Pets:
I have two Bernese Mountain Dogs. I also have cats.
For Fun:
You can usually find me watching a movie, listening to live music, hiking, reading, rooting on my favorite sports teams, practicing yoga or Pilates, cooking, enjoying good conversation, visiting a museum or spending time with good people.
Favorite Hot Spots:
I love restaurants with clean, fresh food like Delrosa, Zuni Caf?, Umami Burgers and Delfina. And travel is a passion. IРІР‚в„ўve enjoyed exploring India, the Himalayas, the Caribbean, Mexico, Hawaii, Canada and Europe.
Favorite things:
Good food. Sports. Yoga and Pilates. Music. Spending time with friends and family. Laughter. R&B, blues, jazz, bluegrass and indie music—especially live. New adventures. Exploration. The Farmer’s Market. Giants baseball.

Date a woman from United States. I laugh easily and can always find things to be grateful for. I'm a creative thinker and love to learn, discuss thoughts and feelings, play with words and write. I am very comfortable in a library or book store, creating art,
browsing garage sales and thrift stores, finding treasures, gardening and creating artful gardens.

Meet someone special from United States. Life is definitely meant to be shared and so I am giving myself an opportunity to reach out to a larger pool via Match.com. I am fun loving, (sometimes plain goofy) and I don't take life too seriously most of the time. I learn from my mistakes and move on and I try to focus on the solution rather than the problem. I focus on the positive and I am able to reframe any situation to fit a positive outlook. I like to travel, cook healthy/ organic meals, instigate get togethers where folks can be relaxed and have a good time. I like my job (must days) and my vacation times! Some of my favorite things to do are having fun times with friends, cooking, going for walks, hiking, movies, dancing, traveling and wondering around in SF.
I'd like to find a youthful and mature, fun loving man who is financially stable, is a good communicator, generous and passionate about life. I have to like his sense of humor and his outlook on life. I am looking for a long term relationship where we can grow old together and share true appreciation for love, passion and companionship. I am open minded and so I'd like to be with an open minded man who prefers to forgo criticism, judgement and blame in place of appreciation, understanding and supportive loving energy towards me and people in general. Life is too short to focus on negativity and to drink cheap tasting wine!
In regards to fitness, I like to do some sort of exercise most days: yoga x2/ week (or more); cardio machines and weight lifting, walking, hiking and some bicycling. I like being active and planing fun things to do and I am open to exploring new places and having new adventures with a loved one. I have my down days when I cook, relax and even have some couch potato days and would very much enjoy sharing it all with a partner. I care about my body, my looks and my health (physical and mental) so I would like to meet a man who also cares about his body and where his thoughts dwell. I have practiced meditation and consider myself a mindful person and in that note, I'm not looking for perfection but for a man that practices being mindful and loving. I like to nurture my inner beauty and I practice seeing the inner beauty in others.
I have a good, stable job, I like me career and I'm a happy person in general so I am not looking for a man to make me happy but to love and be loved and have each other's back. I am loyal, once you are my friend, we are friends forever. I consider myself thoughtful and have good solid values; I avoid drama and favor understanding and good communication. I am affectionate and enjoy daily, loving touch and hugs so a long distance relationship would not be my choice.
I am a hopeful romantic and eternally optimistic so I know there is a good partner for me out there and of course, me for him.....I am hoping I'll meet a man who can radiate simple, unaffected humanity; a man who can connect, be vulnerable and allow himself to be seen: Intimacy= Into-me-you see......

Date a soulmate from San Rafael, United States. I am a playful, intuitive, adventurous woman who is perpetually curious and willing to try new things. I enjoy traveling and experiencing new places and people. I am also a contented homebody, indulging in the simple pleasures. Enjoying the beauty and natural rhythms of nature lights me up.... the beaches, mountains, wooded trails and tropical places.
I value authenticity, kindness, and heart-centered connections with friends (and new friends in the making). It is my intention to be a creator of beauty by sharing my gifts and talents with others, and assisting them in expressing their essential beauty into the world. Leaving a path of joy, resilience, creativity and love is my intended footprint.
I respect men who are open, authentic, relaxed, balanced, organized and enjoys being in nature.
I'm attracted to men who are kind, honest, direct communicators, who value family, friends and who puts me at ease.
I love a man who is healthy, direct, humorous, ambitious, has a generosity of spirit, enthusiasm, is playful, appreciates beauty, is romantic, like to make small creative gestures of affection, is adventurous and cherishing. Oh and a love of great food is a plus.
I think men who are curious, present, care about community, family the environment and living sustainably are sexy.

Meet a woman from San Rafael, United States. I want to thank all of the wonderful guys out there who have written to me. It has been fun dating on Match.com. and I have had some really nice and brief (but not lasting) relationships. I have not been great about answering e-mails due to my extremely busy schedule lately. If you are reading this and you have written to me and gotten no response, please accept my apology. I am, however, going off Match.com shortly as I am moving back to Europe. I wish you all the very best in your search for love.

Date someone special from San Rafael, United States. As Van Jones said “the world needs more Legos, more Velcro, more bridge builders” and --- I am a connector, instinctively. I am told I have a big heart, seeing and bringing out the best in others. Other words for me: playful, intelligent, deep, seeker, leader, a listener. I am an extrovert, but bring curiosity and interest to those in my life (clients, my 3 grown children, friends). Writing this, sounds, well, like I think I am perfect, but I am a paradox (like all of us I reckon)… At a party last night, I found myself alternatively funny and serious. I am a meditator and a social being. Hard worker and goof-off. Sophisticated and experimental. Sweet and naughty. Worldly and stay at home.
These words describe me and I am curious if they might describe you as well. If so, I would love to know what touched your soul; please drop me a line.
I am passionate about making a difference in the world, creating and teaching a course on sustainability, as part of an initiative called the (2012) Spring of Sustainability. Favorite conference is Bioneers.-3 days in October with spiritual, social and environmental innovators. Love the intersection of sustainability, spiritual fulfillment, physics, psychology, justice, art. What a learning experience this being “human.”
Have tasted some of Europe, a bit of China and want more. Have a hankering for far places as well as near by. Fantasizing about doing it with someone special makes me smile the most. I have fun with so many things - lots of dance, dressing, combining colors and styles for flair and creativity.
Would love to share so much with another.. our passions and presence. readiness to love and be loved. Learning that occurs through dancing or walking or being quiet or sitting near the water. Through ideas that are stimulating and won't leave us alone.
How things connect or don't. What would help people? Not that we are so wise but are smitten with authentic and truthful love of helping in any ways that we can.
I love to read but not enough time– progressive articles, books ranging from novels, poetry, Non Fiction in psychology or Buddhism like Pema Chodron, Eckert Tolle, Thich Niat Hahn. Poetry by Hafiz, Rumi, Rilke, Mary Oliver, David Whyte. I enjoy live theatre ranging from great older musicals to avant garde plays at the Berkeley Rep or a favorite - one man or one woman plays at the Marsh Theatre. A very large collection of songs on Itunes running the gamut (not country western) but jazz, world, reggae, 60's, folk, electronic, ballads, drum and tribal. You name it.
Write me if:
You see and feel a connection with what I write. You desire a deep relationship. You are ready (or you hope you are) and will share and do whatever it takes. What follows below is my pipe-dream and I know (at least I hope I know) that you are human.
You are loving, bright, deeply committed to your own growth and want a really great relationship .. you combine your own unique form of gentle and strong, stable and creative. You are open and available (time and energy-wise) to co-creating a relationship - possibly an offering for the world. You bring integrity and you show up. Meditation practitioner or similar. You laugh at yourself. Attentive to your body, quite active ...athletic in the ways that are fun for you. Especially the outdoors - hike, bike, go to hidden beautiful places.

. I am loving, creative, curious, hardworking, smart, sensitive and generous. I am intuitive, playful, sensitive, affectionate and a good listener. Communicating is definitely a strength of mine and I believe in honesty, integrity and working things out as they come up.
I have great friends and love my work. I like movies, hiking, reading, ballroom dancing, pilates and traveling. I like reading, playing games, horseback riding, and scuba. IРІР‚в„ўve taken up many hobbies/activities over the years and revisit them from time to time and I really enjoy learning new things. I have a deep love and appreciation of nature and am still amazed there is so much of Marin (not to mention the Bay Area) that IРІР‚в„ўve never seen. I love to go exploring. I love being a mom (have two amazing grown "kids") and family is important to me.
I seek a man who is kind, gentle and generous. Someone who is honest, responsible, wise - a grown-up. Someone who makes a difference in the world, likes their work, maybe volunteers. A man who is self aware, introspective, curious, someone who makes their own happiness. He is financially responsible and stable. Someone who knows that a fulfilling long-term relationships takes commitment and work. A man who likes communicating and who can be playful. A romantic man who wants to spend the rest of his life in a loving, passionate, deep committed relationship.
Please let me know if you would like me to email you a photo. I'm not posting here because of my work.
