Martha's Story

MARTHA McAULEY (Cunningham) Keller Taught 4th grade, School of the Angels,66-67 San Diego. Taught 4th grade, Our Lady of Mercy, Sept 1967-June 1968,Portchester, NY Graduated School of the Holy Child, Rye, NY 1962 Graduated, College of New Rochelle, NY 1966 For many of us, the years of child rearing are behind us and all that goes with simultaneously building careers, pushing the glass ceiling, fitting 36 hours into 24 and sweating through menopause. More than ever before, the words of Robert Browning ring true for me. I take them out of context and see them as an invitation and a challenge to embrace, without fear, all that remains for us to do in our final decades. Grow old along with me! The best is yet to be, The last of life, for which the first was made: Our times are in His hand Who saith 'A whole I planned, Youth shows but half; trust God: see all, nor be afraid! taken from Frost's poem:Rabbi Ben Ezra. As I approached what I consider the last trimester of my life, I found my values changing and my energies depleted. So, in 2001, after 21 years in the business world, I retired as an Executive Coach in the Career Management industry to pursue the freedom to travel, better health, family renewal and the as-yet-unexplored, other side of my life. Over the last 7 years, my husband Bob and I have traveled across the country and back 4 times visiting all but 3 of the 48 contiguous states. A digital camera and a new love of photography allowed me to build, and revisit often, a memorable online photo history of our travels. As a breast cancer survivor (20 years now), I was honored to participate in my first community Relay for Life in 2003 and, with the help of family and friends, raised $10,000 for the cause. It was gratifying to participate and to see the compassion and generosity of others. Three of my siste...Expand for more
rs are also breast cancer survivors. Given my teaching background, my large community church has afforded me the opportunity to facilitate workshops for the members and serve as a Women's Ministry Leader for the past 2 years. I find great camaraderie, support and laughter among my female friends. In my post career life, I remain the "Fairy Job Mother" and enjoy lending my experience and communication skills to assist job seekers and career changers to find their way through the trauma of job loss. I am pleased to have coached 2 of our sons through both oral and written exams resulting in promotions for both to the rank of Sgt. in their respective Police Departments. Women's advocacy remains a priority. The highlight of this coming year will be the celebration of my 65th and my husband's 70th birthdays as well as our 25th wedding anniversary. All 5 children plus spouses and 9 grandchildren have been invited to join us on an Alaskan cruise some time next year to celebrate. As I look to our children's future in a global, multicultural economy, I see the need for them to take ownership of their destinies by assuring their employability through education, technology, wise investing and entrepreneurship. And I pray that they will seek and find a relationship with our God that will sustain them through the difficulties of a society in moral decline. They will have challenges that will surpass anything that we have ever known! I am committed to being a positive role model and woman of influence in their lives and in the lives of women in our community. We are all so blessed to live in America and to know and love a merciful and faithful God. I hope to hear back from you. With best regards to all.
