I live in a private world all my own. My home is a retreat from the world. I have a distinct dislike for superficiality; I mistrust loud, aggressive or pushy people and find it hard to work with people who lack sensitivity. I try to show elegance and grace in all that I do, and I am a great admirer of beauty, particularly in people and paintings and nature and I give all I do a special touch. I have a strong soulful side and have empathy for all forms of human suffering. I see a distinct difference between being lonely (which I rarely am) and being alone. I enjoy peak experiences. I ask to be accepted as I am and have few truly good friends, whom I am extremely close and loyal to. I'm original and a good leader, coming up with new ideas and executing them is natural to me. I am extremely honest. I work very hard and put boundless energy into my family, work (with my partner Julia) friends and projects. I am an expert coach.. I have two beautiful daughters. I love painting and writing
