I am someone who has endeavored most of my adult life to be present, open, and kind to others, and to be conscious of both my own gifts as well as shortcomings. I am told that I am a really fun, upbeat, happy person. I like to smile and laugh a lot.

I am intelligent, educated and retired having left both my corporate career and teaching 10 years ago. I now have my own Quantum Spiritual Coaching business that I call my Soul work. I am very passionate about it, but make my own schedule, so also have plenty of free time. I hope you have the same.

Not all of my interests will match your interests and that's OK, but I am hoping that enough of our interests match that we will want to spend a great deal of time together. I enjoy learning new things. First and foremost, I really enjoy life. I love to travel both domestically and abroad and have done a great deal already. I intend to do much more. I also love short getaways. My favorite local places are Mt. Shasta, Lake Tahoe, Sedona, and anywhere along the coast. I really enjoy hiking the trails. I also love the water, snorkeling, whitewater rafting, and especially boating. I feel balanced in my life when I match my alone time with time with my partner, close friends, my adult daughter and her husband, and my grandson. I enjoy the movies, theater, music venues, concerts, comedy, gardening, and really any adventures that bring a smile to our faces and joy to our hearts. I also enjoy quiet time at home just talking with a partner and being intimate.

I am spiritual, not religious, and work towards expanding my own understanding and consciousness through conversations with friends, workshops, and my own personal practices. I don't impose my beliefs on others, but it would be great if our beliefs were similar.

I generally eat mostly natural or organic foods and veggies from my garden when available, and I am a pretty energetic person. Oh, and I'm a pretty darn good cook too! I am looking forward to exercising more and living a healthy lifestyle together.

I do individual spiritual coaching, basically assisting others to transform their beliefs into those that match their greatest desires, and also lead group guided meditations, and workshops locally and to sacred sites. These services assist me in my own practice of self awareness and consciousness. I am also an Intuitive and assist others in accessing their own intuition and Guides. Spirituality is not something I do, it is a way of life for me.

This is long and detailed for a reason. If we are not on the same page from the start, chances are we probably aren't a good match. I hope that you are someone who is sincere, kind, with a good sense of humor, and capable of loving from your whole heart. There is nothing better than being able to trust love from another. In time, we will know if there is a spark or that potential between us. No hard feelings if I don't feel it or you don't. There is magic in the type of connection I hope for and know is truly possible. We'll see if the time is right and the stars are aligned.

I am not looking for the perfect man, just someone, like myself, who believes in honesty, integrity, great communication, and wants to share a heart-felt, affectionate, joyous, passionate life with someone who is capable of giving the same.

I am very young at heart and like to have fun and laugh and enjoy life. Age isn't important. What is important, is that you have the time, the resources, and the desire to share new adventures with a partner, whether it be far away in some exotic place, or within our own backyard. I am hoping that you are someone who can find the humor in life, and is spontaneous enough to alter plans easily when they are not working out.

I love to share thoughts and ideas about spirituality and the nature of the universe and about how we are all evolving into more and more of who we truly are. It would be fantastic if you too were someone who likes to consider the unseen, and also likes to work toward their own unfolding.

I really don't think an out of state, or even local long-distance relationship will work well for me, so if you live out of state or more than 90 miles away and have no possibility of moving, I most likely will pass up your request for a chat.

One in which there is mutual respect, great friendship and love. I'm not sure there is a perfect relationship, but if I have your back and you have mine and we work together and enjoy being together, that's pretty perfect.

Initially, just getting to know each other better whether that be over a drink, nice meal, or music. Nothing too loud so we can talk. One in which we click so much that at the end of the date we really look forward to the next date.

I wanted to answer this question because travel is so important to me. I am a Cancer, so I love the serenity and beauty of my home, but I also like to explore. Sometimes that means just going away for a short weekend trip. I like to stay in Airbnbs these days, as they tend to be nicer and more private than a hotel.

I have also traveled to numerous places around the world, both on cruise ships and planned trips. I enjoy both. The cruises are fun and give you a good taste of where to go for some extended time. The planned vacation, of course, gets you more into the heart of the country and people. I was just in Switzerland and Italy a couple summers ago. There are so many places to see, and I enjoy spending my resources in that way.

I also go on spiritual vacations, either to workshops locally or internationally as well. I'd like to see more of the sacred sites.

As for camping, I have to admit, I am probably more of a glamper than a camper, but I have done some tent camping in the last few years and if it is something you enjoy, I can be persuaded.

I hope you like to travel!
