A little about me...
I am understanding,compassionate, mostly joyful, spiritual and kind. I function independently. I have many interests. I read, I'm curious. I like to dance for fun and movement. I want to learn ballroom dancing. I swim. I've always wanted to golf. It would be great if someone would show me how. I've also never been to the Kaneohe sandbar although I can see it everyday. I like to hike and I am passionate about stray animals and not ruining the environment. I am reaching out here as part of the effort to redefine my life. It was completely up-ended by the loss of my husband and best friend of 23 years on November 14, 2012 after a shocking diagnosis of terminal pancreatic cancer which ended his life in 4 short months. I am looking for a friend, someone with whom to do a few things. I do ultimately want love in my life again just not pressure. Please look me up if you want a walking/hiking buddy, someone with whom to see a movie, have coffee, a cocktail or a good meal out. I own my own business and work 7 days a week. I haven't dated since I was 28. I am out of my comfort zone but understanding of the necessity to accept the changes in my life and carry on. Perhaps you will take a chance on getting to know me.

About the one I'm looking for...
Strong enough inside to be gentle, empathetic, compassionate, active, healthy, personable, and has integrity. He wants to be a companion and friend FIRST (I don't believe in INSTANT soul mates) to find out our shared interests and potential chemistry . I like someone who is curious, introspective, confident without cockiness, active, works with his mind and his body or at least takes care of both. Someone who likes to share his knowledge and discuss his views on issues and is passionate at least about one thing in his life. He is doing what he wants to do and is happy in the moment. He is physical and if he ultimately is for me - a cuddler : )

I'd just like to add...
I enjoy theater. I would like someone willing to learn Italian with me. I'm looking for a way to make a contribution to the world - pancreatic cancer network, Non-GMO foods (labeling GMO's as such). I' interested in a man who eats well, no fast-food, no smoking, little drinking etc....
