Gawd, girl — lovely essay, but if you are OAF then I am Methuselah. It’s true that I have some things you do not (also, another 1.5 decades!), but you have things that I do not. One of the things I sacrificed was a “room of one’s own” and it’s really, really hard to get back into writing when you’ve taken twenty years off and you have a family to support. You are a wonderful and prolific writer, even if the job market hasn’t fully recognized it as yet. Plus? You are still absolutely gorgeous. Let go of the expectations and enjoy the age you’re at — because as you note, you are empowered. :-)
