Live in L.A. since '78, but feel like a small-town girl still. Have it down on how to see my "town" as new all the time. Know my "warm spots". As long as I can get quickly to the beach, all is well! Traffic exists yet it does not have to "rule". Everyone looks Italian to me in their cars...their hands are in the air making those Italian hand kind'a motions, and they're talking at someone....it makes me laugh to live in such a vibrant crazy place. I know I'm Italian - but even I don't talk to myself in public places!

Practice yoga on & off the mat, taking it from the studio out to the streets (that's why they call it "practice"!). I like authentic things, people, places and conversations. I have a few ideas and one of them tells me that after every experience - you can reinvent your outlook, yourself, your everything...it's all choice. The high road has always looked better to me.

Relationship criteria: minimum of drama - there's lots of fun waiting to happen...life is too valuable to waste in anything less than appreciation, and when there are "those" times, talk about it while staying in the love....not lose sight of the very thing we found in each other that rocks our world.

I am an introspective and sensual person...can play "outside" if I've had my time to recharge on the inside. Superficial is just something I never bought for myself.

Open minded....Sagg Sun, Lunar Sagg & Gemini Rising.... a seeker and inquisitive. I can see all sides given the time. I look for the best in all situations -- and when I do come up for air, have usually found it.

Love traveling with my "him", bicycling, playing frisbee with you in the park, hiking, horseback riding and the great outdoors. Drawn more to land sports than sea sports: something about the earth beneath my feet makes me feel grounded. I'm all girl with a tomboy edge (and if that's too edgy for a guy like you, I'm not for you).

Love music and going to concerts....most likely my other favorite thing to do in life.

Summer is my best season, though I'm prone to surviving the other 3...I like most everything warm and deep: friendships and other relationships. Being outdoors is one of my greatest past times. It could be anywhere outside. Just go with me there.

Have a grown son who is taking on the world and continues to amaze me. Someone walking the planet calling me "mom" still makes my day. Having been a single mum during some of his upbringing, I looked to you, the men, on how to do it...I taught myself how to get from A-B simply and directly (like you would) to get it all done and do it well...You were my inspiration and I knew had so many insights... I remain smitten!

I'd like to be someone's number one, and he will be mine. It takes time to build it, and build it I can. Steady slow long deep burn preferred.

What do I want in a man? Communication skills & tools a must! Someone who will catch me if I fall. Then honesty, trustworthiness, kindness, caring & loving, sense of excitement about life in general, loves music and animals, authentic (true to himself), attentive, intelligent, attractive, sensual & sexy (and yes, the "kiss" does matter), loves the outdoors, strong enough to share his feelings with his defenses down 'cause he knows it's safe and we can, a good listener and I guess someone to be my hero!

I love my life. It is evolving all the time. Into the quality and not the quantity. Life is a school and these are the lessons...it's what we do with them that count.

Systems read "go" for exploring the possibility of love and communication with one man. Timing is perfect.

The rest you can find out when we connect because there's really so much more....

I happen to love the 1st phone date...where we find out if we have the same passions.... then meet for the 1st in-person date: keep it light and see if it's a fit. THEN the REAL 1st date gets planned if the 1st two 1st dates worked.
