I am a vibrant, fun loving, light hearted woman who has traveled the world, owned a few businesses, raised 2 sons who I adore, and I now find myself on a journey of discovery that I would love to share with a man who has similar interests and philosophies. I am very much into exploring my spirituality, living simply yet comfortably and spending time visiting other countries to learn more about various cultures and history. I have been in two long term relationships and have been married once. I have been single for a little over a year, and am now ready to meet someone special to share my life and happiness with. I am a great cook, great decorator and home maker. I love adventure and trying new things. I like to take care of myself, and when in a relationship give lots of attention and TLC to my partner. I am a great conversationalist, am intelligent, and enjoy the arts, music, concerts, good movies, reading, writing, playing music (ukelele) and enjoy being in and photographing nature. I love the ocean, as well as the mountains, and pretty much everything in between! Laughing is one of my favorite things to do, as well as sharing smiles and love with others. I am pionate about living a purpose driven life, a true romantic and love getting and giving mages and spending time on the beach under a full moon, watching a sunset or just having a picnic, or snorkeling to discover new underwater scenery and wildlife. I am serious about my next and hopefully last partner and am not willing to settle, but will wait for a perfect match. I enjoy many aspects of life and believe that atude is everything! "Life isn't about waiting for the storm to p, it's about learning to dance in the rain!" And my other favorite saying is, " True love is not about being with someone you can live with, but instead being with someone you can't live without." Thank you for taking the time to read this....I wish you the best in finding your life partner! To learn more about me: myspace.com/photoartbypetra Aloha! Petra
