I'm a self-employed business man that has been divorced for nearly 20 yrs. All of my time and energy was spent trying to develop and maintain my businesses. Therefore, I have not been involved in a relationship for about 15 years.
However, over the years I have been blessed with some special female friends.....Special NOT meaning with benefits. But special because of their souls and their ability of giving and displaying compassion. I'm so lucky that our paths crossed and had the opportunity to share part of my life with some great human beings that have helped me become a better person.
Therefore, I feel blessed to have been single, and for this opportunity that allowed for my personal growth. I enjoy being single, and very much in peace with myself . However, I do have the desire to experience that magical development as it starts to unfold. From that first basic eye contact to the eye's penetrating journey into their soul..... That all important time element..... how fast the ability to trust each other developes......To experience the unfolding of a friendship, and all of the mixed emotions and insecurities of where it will lead ? Will it be your final soul mate the person that brings out the best in you
Only time will tell.....So all of that brings us back to why we are here. As special as my friends have been in my personal growth........All of the elements that make up that special chemistry that is so critical for a long term relationship has never been there for me. I have told many people that I'm probably one of the most open and honest individuals that they will ever meet. Therefore, I will start by saying that I have been divorced 3 times before the age of 40, personally, it took me a while to figure out that not wanting to hurt people's feeling by breaking up with them when I had doubts if it was going to work .....was not a good thing to do. Twenty years older and hopefully a little wiser, my personal growth has allowed me to figure out what my soul needs...and if I never find that special person....it will be okay....Because I'm very happy and in peace with myself.
So all that being said .....I know what I'm seeking and will try to do my best to define that, because the number one thing that I hate the most is hurting someone's feeling's it's better to be up front.

One of the things that has allowed me to over come many challenges is that inner peace and happiness is developed and cultivated from within. I truly hate the society that we have become, one of being self centered , greed and power..... at any cost. I have never been attracted to money or material possessions. I could be very happy living in a million mansion with millions of dollars in the bank....But I would probably be the happiest living in a one room cabin in the U. P. growing potatoes and living off the land.

At the age of of 21 my first day in a sales training class I was taught the KISS principle ( Keep It Simple Stupid ) nearly 40 years later it has become a staple of my lifestyle. As a person who thinks outside of the box. By choice.....I do not own a house because I decided to live MY DREAM ....I live on a house boat year around with my two canine soul mates Zack & Maggie. Some may not understand......but to me it’s like living in Heaven.

I define sucess....NOT by how much wealth or material possessions you have gathered.....BUT by going through life doing what you want to do.... doing what brings you your greatest happiness......and treating other's with kindness and respect
I have been blessed with several passions in life and dedicate as much time as possible to enjoying all of them.
One of my passions in life is playing basketball, I try to play 3 days a week. I'm not a fitness nut...but I do try to keep my weight within 10 pounds of what my frame should carry. I’m 6’3” 205#. so it is important to me....That does not mean that you need to be skinny....I don't find skinny being very appealing to my soul either, However, taking care of yourself, I think should be important to you. Sorry If any of this sounds shallow, just trying to be honest.

Other than that....I'm open to all interest and lifestyles. I believe that the greatest education in the world comes from people sharing their life experiences.... not from books. If you spend two hours of conversation with someone over dinner and you don't walk away with something that can benefit your life.....then you were not listening.
I love to get into deep conversations about life...society....and how the human race is on the edge of transitions never known to man before....going from being born to being designed....This is a fascinating topic....as is.....Is man born evil or good ? Challenging the norm and thinking “ OUTSIDE” of the box is not only fun to do, but is the make up of my personality.

I'm very soft spoken...respectful .....sincere...caring...giving...and sensitive to peoples emotions around me. Therefore, I enjoy being around people with similar traits. I'm rather shy....reserved....and don't really enjoy group activities. However, being self-employed in the marketing field my entire adult life. I can host and entertain with the best of them, However, I prefer to sit back in the corner and watch rather then participate. I have no desire to be in the spot light.

I do not date just to have someone in my life, I’m very comfortable being single, and this probably comes from being an only child and learning you don’t need other people around you to be happy. Someday I hope that special person, will become part of my soul for ever, if not I will treasure and enjoy every friendship that’s made and cultivated.
I may not qualify for all of your personal requirements that you seek for your soul mate and for that I can understand...but if you’re looking for a friend...... I can send you a resume of people that feel they have been blessed to have me as their friend.... and I always have room for another friend. While my heart is still searching for that perfect soul mate .

Well that about wraps it up......now you probably know why I'm single :-) However, I'm still hoping that there is someone out there........that when our 2 hour conversation is over..... that magical journey will start to unfold, when it does, we will know.
Thank you for your time and consideration......and of course
" BE GOOD TO YOURSELF "

A quiet place....... where we can Define Your Heaven.

“I can say without hesitation .........that Heaven isn’t a destination.”

Heaven is two souls becoming one.
Heaven is a single soul that journeys alone .

Heaven is spring’s first flower that arrives
in the garden bed that you cultivated.

Heaven is your canine soul mate that jumps
for joy when you reach for it’s leash.

Heaven is grooming your cat
Heaven is a child sitting on your lap.

Heaven is seeking and finding a special friend

Heaven is living on a boat enjoying sunsets.
Heaven is all around us everyday, every second,
so take in it’s sights, touch, sounds, smells and taste.

Hell is not taking the time to gather it all in
and then sucking the life out of it.

Use your senses to fill your soul......Because life is Hell without them.
Hell....is NOT placing your passions FIRST in your life
Live for your passions NOW.............Before Heaven passes you by.

“BE GOOD TO YOURSELF “
