I am clear on one thing. I am not for everyone.

Maturity isn't age. It's charisma. I'm 44 – but numbers say nothing about taste, depth, or passion.   Within this beautiful body lives an extremely creative free spirit, an artist with an eye for the beautiful, the special, the unusual. I enjoy nature, people smiling at me, good conversations, and exciting life stories. I love moments that make me whisper a quiet "wow" and give me goosebumps. I love the interplay between closeness and distance, between glances that speak louder than words, and conversations that linger longer than any night. I enjoy life's quiet tones: a glass of wine, a passing touch, a smile that promises more than it says.   My nature is non-judgmental, understanding, and loving, and my emotional intelligence is quite pronounced.   I always act very intuitively, mindfully, and curiously. I am an authentic, highly empathetic, and very natural woman who makes every moment magical.    My appearance is characterized by naturalness; I'm not sleek, but I look forward to aging gracefully and to more white hair on my head.   You're more likely to find me at a flea market than in a luxury shop, more often in nature than in a fancy bar. I enjoy time alone, with my cats, my mother, and the few but very important people close to my heart. My passion is for the finer things in life. I have a penchant for aesthetics, am interested in art, design, and love interior design and old buildings. My dream would be to breathe new life into a beautiful old manor house/castle.   Creativity and spirituality have been my lifelong endeavors. I studied fashion design in Vienna, had my own dance studio, work part-time as an interior designer, and have been a yoga teacher for 20 years. I'm currently in the process of realizing my dream of owning my own yoga and sound healing studio.   I think appreciation and respect are incredibly important. I don't want arrogant, boastful, narcissistic people in my life. I can't be lured with fine words; I rely more on actions. You show me genuine affection by being interested in me as a person, my dreams, and ideas, by accepting my inner chaos, and by not trying to shape or change me.  Everything I do, I do with unbridled passion and enthusiasm. If you treat me with respect and appreciation, I'll give you back twice and three times over.
