Seven Days Personals - Introducing: Vermonters

Creative live-music lover looking for some new people to go to shows with, take a hike with, get some coffee, take a road trip or just hang with my dogs and talk and laugh. I live on an acre in the Connecticut River Valley with my three dogs and have many trails for exploring on my fathers land right out my back door.
I am two years out of a tough relationship that made me feel small and question my worth. I am still in the process of healing and discovering what I lost along the way (so yes, sometimes I have baggage I need to deal with, don't we all?) and would love some new friends to explore and spend time with. Friends that share my belief that every human has value and deserves to live their life in peace and love without detriment to or from others. I love to camp and go to music festivals when I can, but I am also content at home around a fire or watching a movie.
I am family oriented and very close to my daughter, siblings and aging parents, so sometimes they take priority. Someone that understands that, as I would understand that for them, is important. I enjoy having fun and letting my hair down and having some drinks and smoke, but I am past the point in my life where this is an every weekend activity.
Starting out as friends and truly getting to know someone without the pressure of looking for something serious would be ideal.
I have some extra pounds that I am currently trying to shed as I get back to a more active lifestyle and figure out this aging body of mine, so I would love to find people to walk/hike with.
