True to my Gemini nature, I have a dual personality. My most visible traits are a vivacious, outgoing personality and an optimistic outlook and a slightly wicked sense of humor. I enjoy finding myself in unique situations and am an easy conversationalist with a decent vocabulary and a gift for expressing myself.
On the other hand, I have a deep need to balance that with some solitude and quiet time. An ideal partner for me would understand that and in addition to seeing the world together, would like to share a companionable home life, cooking, reading, listening to music and creating a "cocoon" for us.
I have enjoyed a long career in the travel industry and currently work on business development projects for luxury hotels and resorts- I love what I do and it does not feel much like " work". There is nothing I would like more than to explore the world with a fabulous, funny,sophisticated man by my side.
Over the past three years, I have been able to help raise significant funds for Wine to Water and their safe drinking water projects around the globe. This effort and the relationships it has brought me has blessed my life in many ways, and has enriched me more than I can say. I have come to believe that if we each used our gifts, we can make an impact in the world we live in.
I am a proud progressive in my politics and spiritual by nature, believing that all of the world's great religions contain elements of truth. I am open minded and non-judgemental and I love a lively dialogue on spiritual topics.
I consider myself somewhat of a news "junkie" and like to keep up with world affairs by reading current affairs publications and tuning in to the Sunday morning talk shows. I think it is important to understand the ways of the world and to be aware of issues beyond our own borders.
ABOUT THE ONE I AM LOOKING FOR:
My inner child is seeking a playmate, so you have a quick wit , spontaneous nature and are infinitely open and curious. A relaxed style is compatible with my own, but we will both have to "clean up nicely" for the fun events we attend.
Wisdom that can only be acquired through a rich life experience is a valued attribute. I must admit that life accomplishments are a turn on for me, and as old fashioned as it may sound, I would love to "adore" someone.
A kind nature is imperative, and an appreciation of the antics of my lively grandchildren is also a must, as they have a special place in my heart.
It would be a huge plus if you had a loving, laughing family who would embrace a newcomer and a cIrcle of friends who respect you and enjoy your company- especially if they would embrace a newcomer as well!
A large heart that could make room for me and mine could lead the way to magic between us!
I enjoy a very active life though I cannot say that I "love to work out", but I mange to get myself to the gym 3-4 times a week. Most of my workouts take place in airline terminals, but if there is music I will be dancing and if I am stressed, yoga soothes me. Being outdoors in awesome surroundings is exhilarating to me!
AND ONE LAST WORD ABOUT AGE, BEAUTY, "MAGIC" AND GRACE:
Thankful for good genes and young friends, I belie my biological years and I relate easily to people in their 40's and 50's. In browsing these profiles, I confess to being most attracted to men in their fifties and early 60's . I am trying to strike a balance between staying youthful and aging with grace, and I would love to meet a man who loves my inner beauty and can accept that the external is temporary for all of us!
