I would describe myself as having a hippie soul, a gypsy spirit and a never ending desire to find joy in my life.

Covid update:
During this time of Covid, I am looking for an activity/riding partner. I’m afraid our first kiss will have to wait. lol


Post Covid...
It would be nice to have someone to do things with...Someone that was like minded and fun, a travel buddy, a spiritual buddy, a partner in crime, etc.
I just became the proud owner of a Spyder motorcycle! So, someone that I could take long rides with, maybe cross country!
Someone that I could talk to for hours on end...Someone that time flies with....Ya know? If we fall in love...great! If we don't, that is ok too. I can always use new friends...and riding buddies!!

I am not looking for anyone to make me happy. I am happy. I know that happiness is a choice that we make. No one can make me happy...No one can make me unhappy. Only I can do that. What I am looking for is someone to "share" some happiness with, as well as all other emotions that make up our lives.

I have been told that men do not care for independent women. I have been told that it makes them feel like we do not need them. I sincerely hope that is not true. I think it is an attribute to be independent of each other. Co-dependency is not attractive. Co-nurturing is more my speed. The trick is to remain in need of connection. To remain in a state of desire. A woman is very capable of caring for herself, yet leave room in her life for her emotional Knight in shining armor. Let’s face it. We all need one another. I would not like a world where we didn’t.

Yes, I am 68 years old. I am not only comfortable with my age, I embrace it. I wake every morning with no pain whatsoever. I take no medications. I am very grateful.

I read somewhere once..."I wonder what the definition of beauty would be if, instead of seeing our faces/bodies when we looked upon one another, all we could see was our souls"?

I live alone, but I am not lonely. It took me some time to be able to say that. I have learned that when we go without...we tend to go within...where the truest love of all resides.

I am not religious. I do not adhere to organized religion. Although I do not judge other beliefs, I know that I would not be compatible with someone who is of a religious mindset.
I am, however, extremely spiritual. I am a seeker of spiritual truths and will always speak my own. I strive to reach a level of intimacy, with all of those that I care about, that will include our supporting each other on our individual paths, understanding that all paths lead home. I have been to two spiritual retreats to hear my favorite authors speak. I plan on going to more. My goal is to go to one in Sedona. I have never been there, but hear that it is one of the most spiritual places in the world.
I have a hanging chair in my zen room that I spend hours in reading spiritual authors such as...Neale Donald Walsch / Gary Zukav / Don Miguel Ruiz / Marianne Williamson / Rhonda Byrne / Eckhart Tolle / Deepak Chorpa / James Redfield / Jack Canfield / Timber Hawkeye (Buddhist Boot Camp)....just to name a few.
I do not go out as often as I used to. I guess none of us do at age, but I do love to dance. I do not need a drink to get out on a dance floor...or a partner for that matter. Lol. I love to listen to live music and/or go to concerts. Classic Rock is still the best music....in my humble opinion. I love to be on a beach, in or on the water, or in the woods.
Let me just get it out there....if you smoke cigarettes, vape tobacco, chew tobacco, smoke cigars....we are not going to be a match. (But, 420 friendly)

If you are the conservative type, I may not be the best choice for you....unless you are ready to lighten up a little. Then I may be just what the doctor ordered. Lol. This says I’m Virgo...but I’m not. I’m Sagittarius.
