Episode 13: "Today is a Gift! That's Why It's Called The Present": a chat this week with Marg, our first 70-something guest of the series

Marg is our first brave Nanna, put forward by her granddaughter, Sianna (pictured) to share her story.  Marg simply began with "I think my life has been fortunate... like everybody I've had ups and downs,  but more ups than downs. I think as you get older you learn to roll with the punches and I do think of myself as a survivor, so maybe that helps." Marg, our first septuagenarian, or woman in her 70s, of Verrierdale, Queensland, shared her own backstory today, as our chat cuts across the most decades of life of any episode... starting with Marg's first memory at 2 and a half. That was back when being in hospital didn't include being permitted to have your mum sit by your bedside or give you cuddles - but rather she had to make do with seeing you through a window.  Follow the episode today and listen to Marg's journey.  I know a few of you will have stories along similar lines.  _________________________________ Before you listen: technology and the world in which Marg and I both live and work, tried their hardest to disrupt our chat recording. Between tree removals, a house-demolition, doors slamming, dogs barking - Marg was so gracious in tolerating having to stop, start, stop and start again... and she did it with a laugh. Thank you Marg for persevering despite all the disruption, adjustments to sound quality. You kept your story flowing well. _________________________________ If there's any part of Marg's or another guest's story that you'd like them to elaborate on further, or you would like me to bring on other women to speak about a topic in greater depth, please don't hesitate to reach out to me: [email protected].  Similarly, if you or a woman you know are willing to share your/her story, that's what this podcast is about. Contact me and I can set you up ready for a comfortable easy chat. My guests so far have been chosen from my heart - no 'show-ponying', 'empire-building'... sorts - just beautiful spirits I've met on my life's journey, who've endured ups and downs and have come to where they are now through hard-lessons learnt, perseverance, loss, love and lightness.
