Margaret's Story - Answering Your Questions ~ Part Two
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 вер 2022
- First of all, thank you. Thank you all for the wonderful comments and encouragement you gave me responding to the first video about my life as a child! It was so incredibly powerful to ready your comments and as I hoped, how you experienced your own memories through my words.
I am truly blessed to have you all in my life.
Several people asked in the comments about my divorce and for some reason i agree i left it out of this video. But in the last video (part 3) i do go into detail about what happened - so that will go live on September 11.
My story has been filled with so many wonderful experiences and moments. Our community of women has been asking me for years to tell me my story. So I asked what you wanted me to talk about and the community of amazing women sent me literally hundreds of questions. I found the challenge both exhilarating and energizing.
In this video, I talk about my life after my mom died and how I rebuilt my life after the 2008 crash. In doing this explanation chronologically, i feel I have answered many of the questions that were asked. I hope it is inspiring and helpful to you.
The third and final video which will be published on September 11, will directly answer many of the questions you all raised - and hope they help you also take the step of telling your life. What you have learned, how you have grown.
Much love, Margaret

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

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.
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.
Agree 💯❤
You keep on building and rebuilding your life. Always curious, joyful, optimistic, through happy and less happy times… this is living, this is growing, and one is never too young or too old for that! Thank you for inspiring us.
What words of wisdom ❤️😊
Margaret: Thank you for sharing. We love hearing from you.
You were so fortunate to have met the wonderful people you did, who saw potential in you!
Im loving your sharing. Thanks so much. I'm a November baby too...now 72. Keep them coming!
I’m loving these videos it’s lovely to hear about your life. You are an inspiring and brave lady x
What a journey! And still travelling the life train. I enjoyed it all 😊
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!
❤️
I'm new here and so happy I found you Margaret thank you for being and inspiration.
Debra
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!
Such a lovely message - sending love x
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!
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!
Thank you very much for letting us into your story. I have always wondered if you were English or American as some American accents are very faint and it’s hard to tell. I look forward to your next episode.
More I get to know your life story, the more I like who you are.
Margaret, Hello I’ve been enjoying your channel for a few years now. I love all your content. Thank you for your story. What a fun life you have I totally enjoyed your story about yourself. Have a wonderful day 🌻🌸💐🤗
OMG!! I, too, studied Comparative Religion! I can’t believe the similarities between you and me! I’m feeling so blessed to have found your channel!! I loved Part 1 of your story!
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!! ; )
That video will be released on September 11 :) x
Thank you for all of this… I would like to hear more about Kubler - Ross, amazing opportunities!
You have been helping me so much. I have sold two townhomes and downsized twice and now live in a studio. I live in Bellingham and used to live in Seattle. I like living in small space. Want to change a rug in my studio and move furniture a bit. Love all the wisdom and ideas you have been sharing. Love you!
You are so welcome!
Hi, Margaret, I recently found Sixty and Me. I turned 62 on November 12th, by the way, happy belated birthday to you! Thank you for sharing your life's journey. It is amazing how your experiences led to this wonderful and inspiring website. It has been a blessing to me. I joined the Friendship Lounge and look forward to meeting everyone today. Talk to you soon.
Hi Margaret, that was interesting life you’ve had , good opportunities did come your way an you took them good for you .
Please only reveal what you find comfortable revealing . 🥰
Wonderful journey! In life it’s not about the bumps along the road it’s how we manage around them! Sometimes we feel like we may never make it and then the magic takes place! Hopefully! Thank you again for sharing ! You are wonderful role model! Cheers!
So true!
Margaret I went through a painful divorce in 1992. I am 69 & ready to find true love again. 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. Gonna watch your videos & like this one. Your smile & confidence has got me out of depression. Thank you for helping me.
Hi, I just found you. I really enjoy your stories. I will be 65 this year. It is so nice to find age minded ladies. Thanks, Yolanda
Welcome!!
Margaret- I am a newish listener and I feel like I’m hearing from a friend when I listen to you. Thank you. As it happens, I was born in Detroit and moved to CO at 18! I am excitedly listening to the rest of your story to see if you are still in CO and what adventures you had.
You are so welcome. Colorado was a step on my journey I’ve since returned to England and then on to Switzerland 🌺
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.
I really love this series Margaret, your story really deserves to be told, and to be heard by a lot of people. And you're telling of it, is so beautiful and lovely, and inspiring! 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❤😊🌹
OMGosh Margaret! Thank you so much for these inspirational videos! Just found you a few days ago and will be catching up on your positive strengthening supportive videos 🎉 YAY
You are so welcome! Thank you Ann.
How interesting. I just found you and I grew up in detroit! I live in a suburb now and have for many years but I've spent most of my life in michigan.
Thank you for sharing your life with us. You are so warm and personable. I love watching your channel. All of life's experiences, the hard ones too shape us to the person we are today. You inspire all of us to keep moving forward and finding joy in our situation. The best is yet to come.
What a fascinating life you have. Thank you for sharing this. It seems you have been in the right place at the right time in the best way. And you are fearless to take on challenges many of us would’ve run from. Bravo!
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 :)
I know your sons are so proud of you. I’m so glad you started 60 and Me. You’re so kind and a wonderful job👏 Thanks Margaret 🌼♥️
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.)
Selling something depends so much on selling yourself, doesn’t it, and Margaret certainly does that! 😊
@@marilynharris4238 Absolutely. I think it is important to have a mindset of “serving” rather than “selling” and obviously Margaret has that great quality.
Hi Susan - i discuss my divorce in the third video which will be published on September 11 :-)
Thank you for sharing your story! 💕
Love hearing your story. So enjoying💕
Loved this.I just turned 62 this summer and retired from my job of 23 years in retail.I am very interested in personal life experiences and how we all get to where we're at today.When we go through difficult things in life at the time we don't appreciate always what takes place but later on we see why we had to experience them.They make us who we are today.We should be better not bitter I tell myself all of the time.Bless you and until next time I hope you have an awesome week.Its Sunday September 4th here in beautiful British Columbia Canada.

Brava, Margaret! Thank You so much for sharing 🙂 Love, Joy & Hugs!
Yes, I am enjoying this very much. Could you share with us what happened to your second husband?
Hi Barb. Thank you so much for your kind words and I think I did mention in the video that my husband and I separated because of his decision to want to move to another space with his life. 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.
@@sixtyandme Oh, you must have mentioned this in a previous video. I am sorry; I just thought he might have passed away.
@@lavenderperidot1359 No problem at all Lavender - i just listened to the third video which i prerecorded and which will be released on UA-cam next Sunday - so some of the answers are there. x
Thank you Margaret, when I listen to you I learn something every day! I appreciate your motivations, your wisdom, and your life experience which encourages me!

Thank you for sharing
Margaret, Thank you for sharing your story. I haven’t followed your channel for long and stumbled upon it somehow recently. Listening to your story thus far has really touched me, inspired me and given me hope. Thank you.
Thank you for being so open to help other women along their way.
Thank you for sharing your very interesting life. You truly are an inspiration.
I love this. What goes around comes around. I just love your videos!
Hi Margaret, thank you for sharing your life journey - and all your experiences.
Thank you so much for sharing You have such positive vibes and seem so kind.
I am loving hearing about your life, Margaret. I'd love to hear more. Still more questions. :) Not bored in the slightest. It is just really pleasant to hear of your life and what has formed you. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you, Margret, for your story. Your enthusiasm for life is so wonderful to see. I hope you continue with your mission of bringing older women together to share our experiences, good or bad. I know there are days when I don’t feel too great and I will watch one of your videos, and I will have felt like I just talked to a good friend and I feel better. Thank you.
Thank you for sharing your stories, Margaret. It’s endearing to know your life’s struggles & happy memories - taking us along on the path to how you became you! I turn 59 soon & can empathize & appreciate all that you have shared. Thank you from me & I’m sure so many others.
You are just incredible Margaret, so strong, brave and intelligent! What a life, so many experiences that didn't break you but made you the beautiful person you are ! Thankyou for sharing ! ♥️
Thank-you for sharing ♥️
I listen late at night and enjoy your gentle grace and poise. Your kind, friendly demeanor and thoughtful words are very calming. Thank you and Blessings💖💖
Beautiful journey. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you, Margaret, for sharing. We are always learning, every day of this journey called life💖
I really enjoy hearing your life story. I am very impressed by your ability to pivot. I guess when I look back I can see my pivot points as well. It just reinforces that we are all so much more. I am currently working on what my life will be in this ever changing time. You have done a great job bringing us all together. We are all here to be the best person we can be and to enjoy life. I am thankful for all you share with all of us.
Very interesting to listen as you retrace the steps that lead to where you are now, again thank you for sharing with us, I think one of your greatest assets is your enthusiasm, your determination to find value in your life and in others.
Oh Margaret, first time commenting here, and I've got to say, you are truly lovely! Thank you for sharing your extraordinary journey with us. I've been following you for years (I'll be 70 in November) so enjoying your channel but I do miss the morning chats with your cup of tea in your favorite mug.🍵💙
Hi Margaret, thank you for sharing your life story. You have always been so brave, confident and independent. You are definitely an inspiration to many of us. You are beautiful.
Wow, Margaret your journey has taken you on a path of great successes and challenges. I really appreciate you putting yourself out there, and sharing a bit of who Margaret is, why and how 60 and Me began, and continues to grow. You have had a fascinating professional life, and I can hear in your voice that you have always enjoyed being involved in "new ideas", ground floor moments that developed into amazing moments of a life well lived. I am truly so glad I found your channel you have such a gentle, unassuming spirit that is open to opportunities of sharing and caring with others!
You are so amazing. All that you have done, all the places you've lived and changes you've been through. Thank you for sharing your life story, for all that you do and for this community. ❤
Margaret, you’re so lovely and charming. Thank you for opening up and sharing your life experiences with us. All the best, Marie
Love how you’ve been so resilient when life has dealt you lemons you’ve made lemonade in other words you’ve made the best of bad situations
Awesome second video darling Margaret. ❤️
Hello from Australia. What an inspirational story. Thank you for letting us into your world.
Really enjoyed this Margaret ! Looking fwd to future videos on yr lifestory. You & the sixty &me are an inspiration to us all!
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.
I am really enjoying hearing about your life.
What s fantastic life! You are truly a special woman. Thank you for sharing.
So inspiring
I truly believe everything happens for a reason and being in the right place at the right time. All of what we call “mistakes” that we made brought us to where we are now.
You are such an amazing woman and so brave (I have never moved more than one mile from where I lived growing up and I’m 68!) You inspire us all! Thank you for sharing your wonderful life with us ❤️
Great video. You radiate kindness, intelligence and compassion. Thank you for sharing; can't wait for more.
So interesting,Margaret. Thanks so much for sharing. Deborah
