Date women from United States / California / Cowan Heights, 48 year old

Date a soulmate from California, United States. About Me:
Raised in the amazingly wholesome Midwest (parents still together today and still ornery as ever), I admit to being a snow-belt rebel. Partying in the Flats, sneaking out to concerts at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, drinking underage at Case Western Reserve, and even meeting boys in the spring at SquireРІР‚в„ўs Castle made for magical teenage memories. Who wouldnРІР‚в„ўt love having midwestern roots? With just a little bit of motivation and a spark of creativity there are endless ways to have fun on a snowy day, and the summer - well the lake provided a way to up the Vitamin D intake while engaging in a few over the top Kodak moments. My childhood and upbringing are non negotiable as I would not trade a thing.
After trading in 300 days of cloudy skies for the sunshine of Southern California I was relieved to find my sense of adventure remained intact, with the added bene of visiting the snow on my time, my dime, and choice of trail to carve a wicked “S” down. Admittedly my lifestyle is athletic, as I love the competition, the release of those crazy endorphins, and even the way my clothes fit. Murph, my Lab demands that I run almost every day, otherwise he WILL rebel and chew the furniture unless he has a daily chance to outpace me. So, we run – FAST. The faded road rash scars on my legs taught me the exhilaration of mountain biking, but my girlfriends taught me that road riding makes for more common sense and opens up a whole lot more choices in the clothing department. I like choices; what can I say?
Watching the sunset in El Moro is a favorite hike, the trek to Holy Jim Falls just has to happen at least once/year, and on an odd weekend you might find me raising the flag up at San Jacinto. Sipping cabernet (secretly out of a red plastic cup, of course) while walking the coastline of CDM puts summer at the top of my list for favorite seasons. The OC and its irreverent nightlife cause me to laugh; hanging with good friends, dinner parties and listening to great music cause me to smile; and shopping with my daughters who have learned from the "master" cause me to get up and go to work everyday!
I have a set of friends who have "moved the earth" for me and for whom I would do the same. Connecting deeply means sharing openly; intimacy, touch and "acts of kindness" are my primary love languages. It truly moves me when others are self-aware and share their inner moments! I resonate with down-to-earth connections and live with the principles of being a good neighbor and giving back. You will often find me in a balance pose at yoga where I ponder life, embrace its richness and provide thanks for everything I've been given. I speak gently, listen intently, and take action when my awareness shares a need to change course.
About You:
You find challenge in your work, success in your business and it does not hurt if you can pull out a little wit now and then to top off the attractive face you present to the world. Insatiable laughter and electric heat are the first clues that you are a great match! You naturally take the lead and will often be the life of the party. Your point of view is well thought out; you value an intellectual conversation; and you freely accept that the challenges each of us has lived and overcome will naturally present unique and differing perspectives. You know what playful banter is all about because with me you will want to engage in the twists and turns of semantic nonsense. (ThatРІР‚в„ўs called РІР‚?playРІР‚в„ў). You know what it means to be vulnerable, to share your inner self, and to free me to do the same.
No one knows what lies ahead, but I run with those who arenРІР‚в„ўt intimidated in finding out how high they can climb.
