Date women from United States / California / Valencia, 64 year old

Date a woman from United States. Hi! Here we are, and it will be fun and interesting to see how many 'green dots' we match together on, and then see if there is a magic connection that follows.
For some flexibility with geographics: my office and business is in Burbank, I reside in Valencia, and I have a family member I stay with frequently in Woodland Hills.
Life is good, and I am here to really enjoy it all. Every day comes with special experiences, some surprises - and I believe that the Universe brings us exactly what we need at the right time.
I am independent in a good way - not a clinging vine, and a very loyal and devoted mate. Having a partner to share my life with is important to me ~ it just makes the whole picture richer and better.
Owning a business and being my own boss allows me freedom and flexibility in my daily life, and I am fortunate that I love my work as an Image Consultant ( for 25 years), and author, and can pace it as I choose. This allows me to make time to enjoy my friends, family, my love-life, and all.
I enjoy my community, it's beauty, the people here, and being involved in some local philanthropic causes.
One of my favorite hobbies is to travel. My bags can be packed in a moment's notice. Last Fall I visited Portugal. The year before that I traveled to Australia and New Zealand. I was in South America last year. Those were great experiences.
I am a fan of live theater and enjoy small local playhouses to broadway plays, from Los Angeles Music Center to New York City. One of my recent favorites was Jersey Boys. It was hard to sit still with those nostalgic tunes. ( love dancing, too!).
Movies are a regular activity - along with a little popcorn.
Music - it's food for my soul - from Chopin's Concerto #1 in E Minor, Pachelbel's Canon in D, to rock, and for a little romantic mood setting: Michael Buble, Phil Collins, and Rod Stewart.
I am very affectionate and extremely romantic, and would hope my partner is too. I love heart-to-heart talks, and something as simple as holding hands in the super market qualifies as a touch of romance. I am a loyal and monogamous partner and I will be your # 1 fan.
I like to be fit and healthy - so I walk daily and visit a women's gym 3 times a week. Brisk walking and bike riding where the scenery is beautiful is great. I am a novice golfer - love it - and agree with the players that say the challenge is never over. Once in a while I am lucky enough to hit a 'birdie' ! . I try to play weekly.
Must haves: music, writing, the arts, creative activities, good discussions, exchanging smiles, sharing glances when something hits a heartfelt chord, a Costco fix regularly, Trader Joe's weekly, a cup of herbal tea and watching the sun rise, laughing til I cry, getting together with friends, enjoying family activities and parties, fresh cut flowers in the house, AND the most essential of all... to love.
I have two teriffic, grown daughters, married, who live in Southern Califonia, and between them they have 5 children. These 5 have served as my Advisory Board ( without realizing how much they've contributed and inspired) in writing a series of manners book for children .
No siblings, parents are deceased, and so I have many loving friends who are just like family to me. Good friends are a huge priority in my life.
I am not particularly religious, but have a very deep faith that I live by daily, and am very spiritual.
My perfect match is a man I am head-over-heels in love with, and we parallel in these traits: a fun sense of humor, smart, educated and aware, financially sound and successful, sensitive and romantic, energentic and ambitious about daily living. He requires a passionate 'chemistry' between us as I do, and believes that this strong-magnet between us is the best part of life on this planet. Handsome is nice too, but the inner-qualities take precedence.
Now, I am interested in knowing more about you, what you do and how you do it, and what puts a smile on your face.
