Sorry I have not figured out how to "stand up" my St. Pat's Day photo. You will just have to imagine it from another angle!! Any tech savy person out there? While I am technically challenged at times.... I am a passionate, creative, and multifaceted mature woman looking for the time of my life and deepest love in my later years. While professionally successful, I have always followed my heart and my unconventional and adventurous Spirit.

Making a difference in the world has been a primary motivator and value for me...I have had the privilege of helping to save a community hospital....of pioneering in holistic medicine thirty years ago....and contributing to the uproar in the Anglican Church over gay rights!!

....but now I want to expand and savor the joy and pleasure of more Being and less Doing....with a partner who is sensuous and sexy as well as serious about making the world a better place....and who is attentive to their inner life.

I am blessed to be self-employed in the practice of the healing arts...dream therapy, clinical guided imagery, and Reiki Touch Therapy for inpatients in a community hospital. I also enjoy teaching UCSF medical students. Trained in Family and Community Medicine at San Francisco General Hospital (moved here from Northern Vermont 33 years ago)....I much prefer the work I am doing now helping individuals to seek and foster an alignment between body, mind, and spirit...I am blessed to receive as much as I give in my work......and find satisfaction in serving a multicultural community....

I am thinking alot about how best to live, love, and enjoy the last third of my life...and the possibilities and hope for a change of heart and vision for the world.... in the midst of this current economic "meltdown"......

A nice dinner in one of the great restaurants in my neighborhood, or meet at a coffee house or icecream place near me and walk to Delores Park and get acquainted on a bench overlooking the City, or meet for lunch at the Beach Chalet at Ocean Beach and stoll along the waters edge as we talk.....

If we do connect with warmth, humor, and interest and romance is blooming....on a later date....How about driving down the coast and stopping to listen to the waves rush in?.....going to a free concert in the park while lying close to one another under a starry ski?....hiking on Mt. Tam on a warm day, enjoying the sounds of the forest and wading in a rushing stream together?......or taking a whole day of quiet retreat for relaxation, and mutual massage? [that last would be after we have gotten to know each other a bit!]

Some things that I could never do without...

dreams and dreaming
music and film, and other visual arts
passionate and deep love
intellectual and creative companionship
meditation, relaxation, and unstructured leisure
a good masseuse/masseur or body worker
