I have come to a point in life where I see all that I have done to create my reality, and for the most part my reality is very good.
I do want to find a partner in life, and this may not be the right avenue, but at least it is in the neighborhood of looking.

What I know for sure: that I am more spiritual than religious. That we need never stop learning, growing, being able to change. That most people are mostly good and that's why bad things shock the heck out of us. And I'm pretty sure I am seeking authenticity in my life, and that I seek a soul partnership.

I'm trying to be: more centered; more trusting; more in gratitude than need; more adventurous; more health conscious, more active.

Men I am drawn to are usually open minded and intelligent; attractive (at least so to me); evolved, aware of their nature; kind and caring.

FACTS: Born and raised in SF. Turned 62 last July. Former 60s flower child. Unmarried (divorced) for many years. No children, no pets, but plenty of both are in and a part of my life. Educated with a degree but far more was learned beyond the school system. Lived in Japan for a couple of months in the mid-90s. Pretty good cook, but out of practice right now. Pretty much wired for happiness.

Telecommuting and enjoying the freedom that independant contracting affords. Spending time with my lifelong friends. Pet-sitting and dreaming of traveling again. Learning more about my Irish heritage. Beginning to sew again, frequently on the computer.

Connecting on a deep level. Being a friend in need. Making people laugh by finding the humor in many things. Staying aware and trying to respond in the moment rather that react. Being grateful for the beauty of life. Being independent. Devoting time and effort to those I care for. Loving animals. Helping people who have an issue they want to discuss to get to the 'heart' of the matter.

That I'm female

Not on the favorites list but I am just crazy about baseball - or rather, the SF Giants.
Books: I'll read almost anything except trashy or filthy-am just now getting on Blio! Some favs: Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Racing; The No.1 Ladies Detective Agency(series); The Help; The Tao of Pooh; Dancing Wu Li Masters. Newest: The Art of Racing in the Rain.
Movies: mostly those that involve intrigue, or clever stories that blend a little philosophy with triumph: We Bought a Zoo; Moneyball; Groundhog Day; The Sixth Sense; It's a Wonderful Life, Hereafter, Resurrection (the one with Ellen Burstyn), and so many more...
Music is ingrained in my DNA (Irish, I guess). Love a true variety of Jazz (Coltrane,Miles,Ella) Classical (Handel,Bach,Vivaldi), Motown(all of it), World Music (Nasciemento,Ofra Haza) Rock (almost all), R/B (Keyes,Aretha,all) and Pop(Buble,Clarkson,Groban) Very soothed by harmonics. Not too much for Rap/Hip Hop but there are artists (like Mary J, Black Eyed Peas, and Usher) who won me over.
Television: Lots of PBS programming, Real Time/Bill Maher,all of Super Soul Sunday and Iyanla's programs. I really miss Frasier, so I watch the reruns.
Food:trying to stay on the healthy side of everything. Not vegan or even vegetarian, but mostly sworn off of red meat, trying to wean away from dairy, and trying to stay off sugar as much as possible. Chocolate, dark and delicious, is my nemesis.

the basics of survival (air, water, food, shelter, light, warmth, love)
dear friends
the ability to read
a connection with the Universe/Higher Power, or whatever It might be called
a sense of humor
have to add, access to the internet...sigh

why I seem to drift away from the present moment in my mind, the "what ifs" (lots of those); how funny and wonderful life can be; things that happen in the lives of friends, family; what to do next (there's that present moment issue again...)

Home on the computer, or out with friends having a meal, playing games, or just chatting. I would like to be spending them with a partner.

hmmm...in otherwords, meaning something not to be released to the media?

you simply like my profile and think we could be friends!
