Hello from Carla
Hello everyone!
I'm Carla, a spirited 79-year-old professor and scientist, but don't let the numbers fool you—I'm just getting started on this marvelous journey called life! With a heart devoted to my faith, I find joy in every sunrise, every moment spent with loved ones, and every discovery yet to unfold.
Speaking of loved ones, I'm blessed with four incredible daughters who have brought immeasurable love and laughter into my life, along with seven adorable grandchildren who fill my days with endless delight. While my beloved husband, Dave, may have departed this world seven years ago, his spirit lives on in the cherished memories we created together.
Beyond my academic pursuits, you'll often find me in the company of my faithful companions, Tiger and Jack, my two mischievous yet lovable canine pals. Gardening, trekking, and traversing the globe are among my favorite pastimes, each adventure fueling my passion for exploration and discovery.
A fitness enthusiast at heart, I thrive on long runs and invigorating swims, relishing in the vitality that comes from keeping both body and soul in motion. But it's not all sweat and strain—I also find solace in the melody of song and the rhythm of salsa dancing, letting loose and embracing the sheer joy of movement.
As a self-professed foodie, I'm always on the hunt for tantalizing new flavors to tickle my taste buds, though I must confess, my culinary skills leave much to be desired. Nonetheless, I relish the opportunity to gather with friends over a delicious meal or a casual drink at our favorite pub, where lively conversation and laughter flow as freely as the libations.
While I may indulge in the occasional smoke, I do so with mindfulness, recognizing the importance of moderation in all things. And speaking of moderation, I'm currently sharing my home with Archie, a budding scholar in the final throes of his PhD—a constant reminder of the boundless potential that lies within each of us.
In addition to my passions, I am deeply committed to social justice and activism. A staunch advocate for raising climate change awareness, I tirelessly champion environmental causes, LGBTQ+ rights, and the voices of the oppressed and marginalized. I stand firmly against racial and gender discrimination, and I am a fierce proponent of women's empowerment, believing wholeheartedly in the strength and resilience of every woman.
Kindness is the cornerstone of my ethos, and I strive to be a beacon of support for those less fortunate, lending a helping hand whenever and wherever it's needed.
In essence, I'm a woman who embraces life with open arms, savoring every moment and sharing its abundance with those fortunate enough to join me on this extraordinary journey. So, to all my fellow SW community members, if you ever find yourself in need of a companion for a trek through the wilderness or a dance beneath the stars, look no further—feel free to follow or send a friend request! I'll be there, ready to seize the day with a smile on my face and a song in my heart.
Cheers to life's adventures, and may we embrace them all with boundless enthusiasm!
Warm regards,
Carla
