At first, I didn't think I had anything to say that people could relate to, really. I'm ordinary. Typical. Boring. What makes me someone who can talk about life after 50? My life experiences, maybe? I mean, if we don't have that by age 50, what else do we have? I think that's the qualification that I can claim after 30 years of teaching teenagers, 29 years of being married (okay, two different times, but still) and 50+ years of being on this earth. Life experiences make us who we are, right? 

 

My stats:

-I'm 54 years old

-English teacher for 30 years

-Wife to Edward McClory for 11 years

-Mother to Kayley Margulies for 26 years

-Ex Wife to Robert Margulies ..too much information? I mean, who claims their ex?

​

I'm a mix of my life experiences. Each has shaped me in some way. My relationship with my past, as tumultuous as some of it has been, is one of acceptance and humility. I'm still learning something new every day. It's only through self-reflection that I can hope to continue to grow.
