Margaret's Story - Answering Your Questions ~ Part Two

[@kittywisdom4534]

This journey is like the astronauts: One small step for Margaret; one giant leap for womanhood. Your love for us is a reflection of ours for you. Maybe "The man in the Moon" is really a woman? Onward, voyager!

[@susanbruinooge7122]

What an inspiration! I love the way you've moved around, changed careers, and adjusted yourself to the changes. I've spent my whole life moving and as my mother used to say "Make each new place your home as though you'll be there for life, even if you're staying for only one night." I love your positivity, Margaret-like a breath of fresh air!

[@susanconnolly4931]

agree. yes, thank you Margaret you are so inspiring, and absolutely your positivity is for sure a breath of fresh air. I feel Blessed that I found you 7-8 years ago. Thank you Margaret from the bottom of my heart for all you do. I didn't know back then how much we, Women 60 and over needed your voice, your inspiration, love and compassion. God Bless you. xx ❤️

[@rebeccaasher9124]

Me too! However, I was called a “job hopper!” Didn’t care, moved through life going into every open window/ door. 71 and satisfied!

[@natalialopes719]

Hello. I am 71.. I have been on my own as a single mom of three children since I was 34. Raise my children alone, and it was very difficult. I am still on my own in my own home. There are so many women that are by themselves, and it always feels like we are, unusual and out of place in this world. But there are actually so many of us. I love hearing your story I would love to hear more. You are a strong, brave woman that has learned to take care of yourself.

[@harrietlovejoy3424]

Wonderful life full of highs and lows! You’re brave, amazing, and inspiring. I’m at the beginning of my 60th year. Will turn 60 in November and I feel so lucky to have found this community!💕

[@devasadhvi]

Im loving your sharing. Thanks so much. I'm a November baby too...now 72. Keep them coming!

[@marilynharris4238]

Thank you for telling us what has made you YOU. I’m 10 years older than you, and have lead a very different life from yours. But there are times that serendipity has played a big part in my life story too. When I meet older people, I always try to remember that they weren’t always this age, and they, too, have a story to tell. Thanks you for sharing yours. Hugs!

[@Jenifer_G]

Got a bit lost here, did you get a divorce with 2 boys and then meet husband no.2. And then divorced again. Thanks for sharing.

Love you so much , Margaret, you are a class act. 🎇 Mary Canada 🇨🇦

[@2MuchPurple]

Margaret, I am enjoying your story so much! Strangely, our stories are somewhat similar. I'm 73, and started out as a young artist showing in a San Francisco Gallery through my 20s. In 1983 I moved up to Seattle, where I met and married an early Microsoft employee. He left Msft in the mid 80s and we started our own software company. I worked with him there, as vice president. Very sadly he passed away suddenly at age 53. That was in 2002. I live north of Seattle now in a nice house overlooking a lake.

[@jwebb3337]

Thank you for sharing your story, dear Margaret. Please know that you are not obliged to answer any questions that are too personal or upsetting. I hope you share only as much as you want and ignore the impertinent people. Hugs and Love.

[@alicemitchell3668]

What words of wisdom ❤️😊

[@ntakovacj3644]

I can't find words to express how great it is to know you, even though it's virtual. Once, on the bus, a very old man said to me, in heavily accented English: "Senora -- may you be blessed all the days of your life." I don't even remember why he said it or if I did something to deserve it. I simply remember a blessing from a stranger. If I have it in me to send the same to you, it's yours!

[@betho.3542]

Margaret I am so impressed in the way you never gave up - even in your times of difficulty. You continued to to grow and move forward through the years. Being the best mom you could be was also my greatest desire with my own children. However, I became a bit lost in all of that. After so many years of being there for them, I came to realize I'd lost myself. I'm 65 now, and still haven't found my next "adventure." But post pandemic, hoping to find my new "place" in life, soon. So eager to watch your Part 3! You are an inspiration!

[@sixtyandme]

Such a lovely message - sending love x

[@susanconnolly4931]

Beth I do relate, raising my son on my own from 4 year's old, having left my husband, who had alcohol and rage issues. My son was my greatest motivator to escape this marriage. I wasn't going to have him grow up in this environment. The best thing back then that I did for my Son and for Me. Cheers!

[@yvonnejeanette1726]

This is very interesting and fun to hear how sixty and me was started:) I joined years ago when I wasn’t sixty yet. You had so many helpful subjects and I enjoyed all of it! Now, 8 days I’ll be 60! and still learning on this journey of life! I’m glad you and your son created “sixty and me” for the world to experience:) but especially for us 60 year olds!

Will I find true love again because I am very lonely & haven't made love to a woman since 1993 & a part of me is missing & I need that soul mate to live with me & love me for the rest of my life.

Really enjoying your "Margaret's Story" videos. I think more than anything, you are an inspiration for so many women out there. Your story is relatable and lets everyone know they are not alone. We've all had our ups and downs, and how we deal with them and move on is something we can share and learn from each other! Bravo! Can't wait for Part III!! ; )

More I get to know your life story, the more I like who you are.

[@deborahhauser1153]

Your sense of adventure is undeniably one of your largest encouragers. When a person has that desire for adventure, they are rather fearless. Because “setbacks” are part of the adventure. It’s not failure. So often women look at setbacks as failure. They’re not. They are educators. They teach us to continue on. It then diminishes the temptation to feel like a victim. You Margaret NEVER come across as a “victim.” And THAT is inspiring!!! Well done Margaret!!! You’ve lived well :)

[@susanmarie2231]

I look forward to learning more of your story. Very interesting and inspiring. Yes, I believe you can sell anything. Wonderful woman! (Curious as to what happened in your second marriage.)

[@marilynharris4238]

Selling something depends so much on selling yourself, doesn’t it, and Margaret certainly does that! 😊

[@susanmarie2231]

@@marilynharris4238 Absolutely. I think it is important to have a mindset of “serving” rather than “selling” and obviously Margaret has that great quality.

Margaret, it amazes me that our university & computer careers took a very similar trajectory & in the same era. I, too, studied comparative religions at university. (My professor had his students visit various religions & I read Kubler-Ross. I want to a memorable Hari Krishna gathering). I concurrently studied computer science & mathematics. During my career I worked for several of the big name computer corporations as my career progressed. Your story is fascinating & makes me see my own career in a new & interesting light. Thank you so much for sharing your life's story with us.

So often we hear celebrity stories but we don't really get to hear just people's stories, and it's really amazing, and your energy is so fun. This is really inspiring, it's bringing back memories for me of those days too. Can hardly wait for Part 3❤😊🌹

[@jeanbowers1706]

I’m enjoying your story and the work related and moving Experiences. Your decisions, Moves, family are all part of your story too. Really the emotional decisions and experiences are crucial in the telling of one’s life. It’s your story and you don’t need your families’ permission to tell your truth What happened with your second marriage? Surely this was a major turning point for you. You have left out all your personal feelings, decisions and what Makes you the person you now are. You certainly have had a wonderful series of work experiences. You are have drive and determination and deserve lots of credit for the life you have made for you and your family. Let’s hear what made you emotionally the wonderful woman you are.

[@sixtyandme]

Very interesting question Jean. Let me think about it. I honestly thought I was sharing a lot of my emotional experiences. My divorce was truly significant, but i am not comfortable sharing all the details for many reasons. I hope that did not leave too much out for you. My husband left me, we were divorced, he remarried. I was devastated. It took me many years to start breathing again. I lost trust. I went to some very dark places. But i think honestly the story is that i am one of the millions of women who get divorced and rediscover their new life, sometimes wanted to chat with everyone about it but in my case, I found leaving the sad memories in a private place was the best for moving forward. Thanks for understanding. The details are very personal and I hope you understand. i do mention a little more in the 3rd video which is scheduled for September 11. I won't ever tell stories about my children. I am very respectful of them and sharing details to 200,000 people is not in my character.

@@sixtyandme Dearest Margaret, You have shared a lot of your emotional feelings…In Part 1 as you told us ..you shared many things you’d never talked about before. About your 2nd marriage simply just say “ my husband & I got a divorce in such & such date, he remarried” and move along. We do not have know the details. We don’t have to know the why’s!!!!! Share what you want. About your boys I couldn’t agree more w u they should be consulted it’s their story to share IMO.

Margaret, I’m really enjoying listening to your stories. It sounds as if you were in Boulder during a magical time. Yes! The creeks is gorgeous. I’ve only been there once,, but that was my favorite, walking along the creek, which is a beautiful trail and park. My other favorite is the gorgeous and wondrous tea house along the creek and where they hold the farmers market. I also enjoyed hearing about your love story and move to Seattle. How exciting! I’ve heard bits and pieces about your Seattle days before. During what I call the last Great Depression, I was (and remain) in the Seattle area and like ,any I was hit hard in spite of having my ducks in a row with low debt, savings, etc. That’s what happens when health and other challenges arise. One thing I’ve noticed in your story telling is that you say little to nothing about the losses. I knew you’d been married twice, but you skimmed over the end of the second marriage. What happened? We still don’t know about your brothers or what happened to your father. Did you reconnect with other family when you last returned to England? I ask because I see relationships as having the biggest impact on our lives. Yet, you’ve largely spoken about the impact of work relationships, which is awesome, but somehow feels incomplete. I appreciate your story telling and it is something that inspires me. Thank you!

I’m 63 and found you about a month ago. I love the way I feel after watching your videos. I’ve been having so much fun in the makeup isles at the drugstore. Can’t wait to get home and try the products. Thank you so much Margaret for sharing your story. You inspire me. I’m grateful.

Thank you for telling us about your life! Life seems to be a series of good times and bad,but mostly getting up and taking those steps forward although sometimes we don’t know where we’re going, we walk forward anyway. Being older can be exciting and adventurous. It’s just so much more rewarding to have people our age traveling with us. We are lucky we have the Internet to learn and share so much!

I had an IBM PC/XT (86 CPU) with a monochrome monitor. It was big and heavy. That's when I learned MSDOS 5. Great story. Shocking that you lived in Detroit, though :)

I bought one of those pc xts. 7000 dollars. Knowing what I know now, the price tag is just amazing. But I started on punch cards so the pc was an exciting technology.

Thank-you for sharing ♥️

Very impressed you had the opportunity to work with Elizebeth Kübler-Ross. I was in nursing school (many, many years ago) when I learned about her and her work. You've had some amazing opportunities in your life, and certainly some not so amazing parts too. It is good to hear about the ups and the downs, so we know others have been through it too and we aren't alone with some difficult times. Thanks for sharing your story.

thank you for sharing your story! I need to dig into past videos on various topics as I am newly divorced (this is a good thing) and there are things I am now navigating alone but love learning how to be self sufficient! I almost got hired at Microsoft in 1988, but they didn't take me. Gosh, I might have met you! Crazy world. I enjoy your gracious, upbeat manner .Thank you.
