Date women from United States / California / Sonoma, 44 year old

Date a soulmate from California, United States. I am a simple person (don't confuse this with being simpleminded). I enjoy the little things in life--more the "smell the roses" kinda type of person. You make me smile with little things, like a surprise visit, driving through the wine country at night, a home-cooked meal.... Family is very important to me and I can't wait to be a part of one!

Meet a woman from California, United States. I'm a happy successful woman living in the Bay Area. Friends and family would probably describe me as a quiet and private person until you get to know me well; then you'll see my fun and adventurous spirit. I've lived in Sonoma County for 11 years after spending many years traveling the states. IРІР‚в„ўm a single parent to 3 kids; although they arenРІР‚в„ўt really kids anymore at 21, 23, and almost 25.
I work for a non-profit and feel fortunate to have a job I love and one that is flexible enough to allow me to maintain a good balance of my personal and professional life. I will admit to working long hours if IРІР‚в„ўm not careful; itРІР‚в„ўs easy to do when youРІР‚в„ўre enjoying yourself. ItРІР‚в„ўs satisfying to know that the work we do is making a difference in the community.
Outside of work, I try to get outdoors whenever possible; enjoying the coast, hiking or riding my mountain bike. I donРІР‚в„ўt have a favorite spot and find some of my best day trips are the ones when I donРІР‚в„ўt have a planned destination or agenda. Photography is a newer hobby of mine and the camera comes with me most everywhere.
The most important quality that I'm looking for in another person is that they're genuine and sincere in all they do. Along with that comes compassion and optimism. I am looking for someone who is content with who they are and the world around them. And if they don't like what they find, they take initiative to make change. Right now I'm looking for someone to share adventures with and perhaps through that, I will find someone special.
