I am feminine, vulnerable, and soft, passionate, smart, sensual, playful, spiritual, strong, authentic, and grounded in myself. I believe we are here to learn, grow, and unfold spiritually. I feel I am part of something greater than me yet not separate from me. Passionate about community service, I have done volunteer work since my mid-teens; currently I volunteer at two local hospitals. Politically, I am fairly left wing, and generally look at what seems to be for the greater good rather than what fits my personal esoteric interests.

I am a passionately creative being...an artist, writer, jewelry maker, metal sculpture forger, woodturner, photographer. Traveling to experience other cultures is also part of my life. Recently I returned from a photographic safari in the Maasai Mara, Kenya. The rawness and quiet, spacious beauty calm me; the big cats captivate me.

I am also an enthusiastically physical being...partner dancing (West Coast Swing, country, more), skipper and race a sail boat on S.F. Bay, hike, cycle, walk, lift-weights (since my mid-twenties), practice yoga, and am open to more. I relish listening to many music genres; moving to music delights me.

Guided by intuition, knowledge, and ever-growing wisdom, it is easy for me to connect with people. I am blessed with deeply mutually satisfying life-long relationships with family and friends. My 36 year old identical twin sons are my most challenging teachers and through the years we have developed supportive and dynamic relationships full of love and laughter. I love to laugh and bring laughter to those around me. I am also a trusted confidant and I value honesty, truth, trust, and directness.

I am looking for a life-long partner with a man who seeks the same kind of relationship I seek. We deeply respect, trust, see, love, and support one another. We are co-creative in our decisions. Authenticity and honest openness is not compromised for convenience to keep someone or something in our lives. We recognize our ego defenses and are cognizant that we are more than our bodies, intellect, and personalities. We interact with loving kindness.

As individuals and as a couple, we are dynamic, growing, ever moving closer to Spirit. We also have a blast together, are active, adventurous, passionately sensual, sexual beings who are monogamous. Our relationship is full of playfulness and laughter. We share a deep desire to make the world a better place and our actions reflect that desire.

We are forever physically, emotionally, intellectually, and spiritually drawn to one another. We live in gratitude.

Living it to the fullest with a great big smile, spending quality time with friends and family, doing the things that bring joy to me and those around me.....continually learning and growing. I am writing a novel, enjoying volunteer work at two local hospitals and recently came back from Ghana where I hope to return to help build a school on a small island. I am enjoying the adventure of this journey and more and more learning to live peacefully in the present moment.

Friendship, love, kindness, adventure, laughter, and finding creative ways to solve life's challenges. I am dependable, straight forward, fun, resourceful, and loyal. I enjoy thinking on my feet......dancing on my feet is a bit more challenging and talking while dancing has just recently been mastered.

My smile, my energetic enthusiasm, and my ability to create a comfortable interaction. Stick around me and my impromptu sense of humor emerges.

Being in Balance, Stillness Speaks, The Biology of Belief, A New Earth, Molecules of Emotion, Siddhartha, Red Sky in Mourning, The Notebook, The Prophet, The Audacity of Hope, Man's Search for Meaning, The Power of Now, Wherever You Go, There You Are, come to mind in the moment. I am an admitted lover of 'chick flicks' and have a difficult time with violent movies unless it truly is essential to the plot. In general my taste in music is pretty eclectic...I love moving to music.

I enjoy food, that is, 'good' food, which of course is subjective. Sushi, raw oysters, sauteed mussels, fresh organic vegetables, fish, and mexican are among my favorites, but I will try most anything, at least once.

Love, friendship, family, good health, laughter, sensuality, opportunities to be generous, the beauty of nature, freedom of expression, trust......clearly I lost count, and I imagine I could learn to do without some of these, but would prefer not to.

How I can spend more time with a quiet mind....not thinking at all.

I don't have a typical Friday night....could be dancing, at the movies, visiting with friends, dining out, or relaxing at home.....

In the back of my mind, I am often wondering who and where you are. Nothing else of much consequence to share in such a public venue.

You want to:-)
