Date women from United States / California / Soquel, 49 year old

Date a woman from United States. I am in the first year of being separated from my husband, and I am finding the freedom exhilarating yet I still have that desire to share things with someone. I'm an artist so I spend a lot of time by myself, working in my studio. This makes my time away from the studio precious, and I want to take advantage of living in this amazingly beautiful area and sharing life and its' experiences with someone who can also appreciate the same things. I lived on a boat for many years which engrained in me a certain sense of independence. Are you that person who can be independent WITH me? I am generally a happy person, and I try to look for the positive in whatever crosses my path, hoping that joy and wonder are a part of the journey.
