Date women from United States / California / San Ramon, 44 year old

Date a woman from United States. About me:
I am a lot of things - many of which I think you are looking for. I take care of myself, my son and help those around me I care about. I have a wide range of interests and I actively volunteer in my community. I am always open to trying something new and take pleasure on the journey even if it doesn't go as planned. My longtime friends love telling stories about our adventures and mishaps and we laugh together about them.
I really like hiking and know a lot about the plants, animals and Native Americans that lived here before us - I have worked as an outdoor school instructor, Naturalist and Park Ranger. I enjoy exercising, and prefer to get it while I am having fun doing things I like, instead of at the gym. But I do get into the gym a few days a week at lunch for yoga, pilates and spin.
About you:
Life is filled with so many levels of communication and awareness. I want someone who is more aware than most and not afraid to explore and talk about it. I am very affectionate, comfortable with myself and looking for real connection both physically and emotionally. I am looking for that guy who wants to hold my hand, talk each day and share our lives together. Are you him?
I am what you see and read in this profile and so much more. My photos are current and I will return your email if it's thoughtful, engaging and you look like someone I would want to spend time with.

Meet someone special from United States. I think my friends would say I'm smart with a sense of humor and always biting off just a bit more than i can chew. I've worked hard on myself and at my job and have created a happy, fulfilling life and am interested in someone who has done the same. Life can be crazy busy sometimes, but it's low on drama and at times I am amazed at just how fortunate I've been. Life is really, really good!
I enjoy spending time with friends grilling, drinking wine and talking about life. I like taking long walks by myself to clear my head and for fitness I do yoga and my exercise bike. I took up skiing about 4 years ago and have become hooked on snow and I've gotten my girls hooked too. My 10 year old is a skier and my 7 year is a boarder.
It's important to me that you are in good shape, enjoy outdoor activiites and live a healthful lifestyle. In addition to positive physical health, it's also important that you have a positive outlook on life. Yes, the world is complex and uncertain, but there is so much to learn, experience and be thankful for. I'm not a pollyana, i just think that we are each responsible for our own life experience.
I enjoy traveling, but these days I do it mostly for business--been in 5 countries so far this year. I'm looking forward to thread in more personal travel to continue to expand my own horizons. Just finished my first trip to Asia and would love to see more.
My life is pretty full with work and my kids that i adore, but what's missing is the kind of adult companionship that one just doesn't get from friends. I'm not into the high drama or the strong silent type. I'm really interested in surrounding myself with like-minded people who are successful in life, straight shooters, good communicators, open, and loving....preferrably someone who is a parent and understands how important it is to have your children around other adults who share your values.
I don't 'need' someone to do things for me or take care of me, i'm pretty good at that. What I want is someone with whom i can let down my guard, share thoughts, experiences and feelings who is a great companion, friend and lover. If you think you are that kind of person, i would love to hear from you.
