Guest, Linda Guglieri Downing Title: S2 EP26 | Fully Engaged in Life at 77 - Author, Entrepreneur and All Around Inspiration | Linda Guglieri Dowling "There's nothing you can't do," is Linda's motto. At 77, she is getting ready to publish her third book. And she is modest. She won't brag about how she saved a man's life, sat with a dying young boy, started a singing group that sang to the soldiers going off to war, and had a few near death experiences. They are just part of her story. It's just normal for her. At 13 she started a daycare in her neighborhood. And 64 years later she is still writing, starting businesses, and helping other people. Linda's books can be found on Amazon under the name: Linda Guglieri Dowling. Linda was born in Manhattan, New York. She spent her childhood growing up in Brooklyn, New York. She is a 77 year old new author, two books published on Amazon,”A Certain Remembrance” and “ Lockdown- A pandemic experience and tribute to nurses during the COVID-19 war.” She is an entrepreneur, started two businesses; a catering company, and an interior design business, while bringing up her children on her own. She also worked at a hospital for 20 years where she met her current husand, Rich. She retired and moved to upstate, New York. She is now writing her third book, entitled “Imagination”, a compilation of her short stories and poems which should be published this summer on Amazon. Growing up, helping others, dealing with obstacles in her path, had her mature quickly, and gave her the strength to deal with her mom‘s death when she was 17 years old. Since childhood, she was always looking to help people see the good in themselves. Linda says, "I believe you could get through any hardship. If you believe in yourself, forge forward, no matter how many stones get in your way. You are in control of your life… You got this… And if you feel you can’t do it yourself don’t be afraid to reach out for help, you don’t have to do this alone." Linda Guglieri Dowling
