Date men and women from Canada / British Columbia / Sechelt, 55 year old

Date a soulmate from British Columbia, Canada. My friends would describe me as an independent, enthusiastic person, who cares about others and shows by her deeds. I am a smiler, a hugger and believe that kindness is its own reward. I live a grateful life and have been fortunate to have had an eclectic and adventurous one so FAR. I look for a kind minded person, who has a sense of humor, has multiple interests and talents, is outgoing and social and I'll be honest I would alike a hero in my life. A gentleman who doesn't expect me to carry the whole load but appreciates that I have lots to offer. I work as an entrepreneur with non profits and small business, I love what I do and want to find the right person to build a life for two with.

Meet people from British Columbia, Canada. I've had some great years with first a marriage and also good loving relationships that sadly did not always last. Yes I'm happily single but also looking to see if I can team up with a partner to enjoy the freedoms of later years, and share histories and family worlds together. Energetic and with a good sense of humour, I approach work and pleasure earnestly and positively. I love to create and to appreciate what other people make. It's important to me to be compassionate and kind. Although I treasure 'home' where I grow food and flowers and indulge other interests, I also have smart, funny engaging friends and family who I share all kinds of food and adventures with. It's a good life, and I am very grateful for it I try to take good care of myself but have no immediate plans to climb Mt. Everest.
I'm tidy but not a neat freak by any means - I have better things to do than clean all day. Life is too short. I think my home is comfortable for others and I have some interesting art and 'stuff' from life and travels, although I find that as I 'mature', less is more. I've never been a material person and am a reluctant consumer.
I don't need any one else's money and am hoping to be able to retire soon so I can travel more, maybe start a small business, spend time with my 2 grown children and their kids whom I love to pieces. I'd be happy to connect with a man who also has family. I hope to have a loving relationship that will enrich my already very rich world and challenge some of my nonsense. I want a genuine, honest, fun partnership that can survive the bumps in the road that deepen love. I imagine intimacy, working out differences and conflicts, laughing like hell and helping one another be the best we can be.
I enjoy being serious and ridiculous. Love family, love to get away from them and enjoy opportunities to reveal myself to myself and to others. It's not always straight or straightforward. But it's almost always meaningful.
