Elaine of Kalilily : MyBlogHer Profile

I am a mother of two, a grandma of one, and the daughter of an 94 year-old increasingly befuddled mom for whom I am caregiver. I was married in the 60s, divorced in the 80s and was a published writer while and since. I've had some poetry published over the years, the last time in 1998. But now I mostly blog. I was the first president of Blog Sisters. I've had several careers, and all of them relied on my communication skills, especially as those helped to promote changes in entrenched dehumanizing systems. I used to be a pretty good ballroom dancer, but I retired from that and my 20-year stint with the NYS Education Department to become a a full-time caregiver. I burned out after 8 years, and now I live with my daughter and her family.  I have one weblog: www.kalilily.net
