What an incredible discussion! I had similar experiences as a teenager.

This was a really well done discussion of some important topics. Thank you! I just turned 60. I haven't dealt with eating disorders, but I related to so much of what you said! I am also concerned about staying strong. One of my struggles is that I feel motivated in my mind, but my body often doesn't agree, mostly because of achiness. I appreciate your gentle and careful attitude in this video.

i'm with you! my projects feel overwhelming. have you listened/watched Dana K White's decluttering videos? she has a 5-step process, maybe it'll help you in these short 15 or 20 minute bursts.

You look fantastik, rock it

I know these feelings! I'm on my own, too and have had to move a lot lately. Thank you for sharing your solo projects!

Hi Y.L. Those sweaters look really nice you’ve got a real talent.

Im sorry i disagree about your clothes your wearing. They are not hideous. Your much too hard on yourself.

for your super bulky white turtleneck-- one way you can give a garment more structure is by casting off and then picking up the stitches to do your turtle neck. The seam at the neckline can help give more structure and prevent as much pulling. given the weight of the yarn, it may still pull a bit, but it should be somewhat better.

I followed your instructions at the end and created something. I'm doing a challenge to write a poem every day thus year, so that prompted me to do today's. (And it's just writing, not sharing - everything I've created so far has been rough draft at best, but it's generating more ideas for my hoard!)

Well done getting out there. I think the gear you take is very well thought out. Hope you keep making that first step out the door 🙂

Enjoyed your video! Gave me a sense of security through planning, and makes me want to go back to the trails again. Hiking is a huge healing tool for mental health I agree!

best of luck with your plans

I stumbled upon this video and so glad I did. So much of what you said resonated with me. And I am not single or childless. But in spite of that, I have spent many Christmases feeling very lonely. I was married for 26 years to someone who did not like Christmas and it was always up to me to make a good Christmas for my kids. I learned during that time some of the lessons you pointed out such as buying yourself a special gift and wrap it, discovering what parts of the Christmas traditions I wanted to do for myself, etc. My children are all in midlife now themselves, and I am remarried to someone who enjoys Christmas, although his joys are not the same as mine. During the height of Covid back in 2020, we could not get together as a family, so it was the first time in my entire life that it was just my husband and I for Christmas. And yet, looking back, it was one of the most enjoyable Christmases I've had because of nearly zero stress. and chaos and just really enjoying the day in my own mind. Thank you for all that you expressed in this video. Many women in my generation, married or unmarried, have given too much and not let ourselves enjoy the special days in ways that bring ourselves contentment and /or joy.

I know that I'm not the only one that thinks you look great. You keep doing this to get your mind to catch up with what all of us see. 😊

You look fantastic to me. And your personality and strength show through. Bravo to you snd keep on keeping on!!! 😊

It’s such a cute simple outfit! The colors suit you so well

Thank you! It drives me crazy!

Happy half birthday! The half birthday concept reminds me of the "un-birthday" from Alice in Wonderland. ruclips.net/video/c_7Q6dCS-e0/видео.htmlfeature=shared

Good Evening Y.L., I am a bit puzzled about something, I’m wondering why you seem to be concerned about gaining a little weight? I think you look great, you’re a very pretty lady.

You look great!

You are amazing and strong. You aren't alone. May God Bless you in this New Year

I think this is awesome.

Good morning Y.L. I sincerely hope 2025 is an amazing year for you.

I think you are dressing older than you are. Your figure is amazing. The lands end jeans are okay, and great if you are seeking the comfort of stretch but I think you’d be surprised by how great you’d look in a pair of 501 Levi’s or something a bit more edgy than landsend. The flouncy layered dresses are also a bit frumpy. Maybe séparâtes with clean lines and a bit of edge would suit you. It also sounds like you are realising that investing in quality basics makes more sense and makes you feel special which you deserve. Just remember you are still young to hell with that middle age nonsense we get worn down by.

Good evening Y.L. , I think a remarkable job try not setting deadlines for yourself. Did you use primer for the first coat on the walls and ceiling? The reason I ask is because bare drywall will really suck in the first coat of paint and possibly even the second coat too. How cold is it where you live? I live in the metro St. Louis and we have had some snow and cold weather but this week it’s been unseasonably warm ( 40’s to 50’s for highs). Keep up the great work, I hope you have an amazing weekend.

It's looking wonderful! Great job!!

Great video

I'm single at 54 and spend many holidays alone. I appreciate the self-reflection and positivity in this video. Thank you for sharing!

Happy Christmas! Lovely to hear about your plans. I think the self knowledge about what nourishes us and what doesn't that comes in our 40s (or has for me) is such a gift, and saying no and protecting our peace is something we should never feel ashamed of. Wishing you a wonderfully cosy Christmas xx

one day I would really love to be married , its never happen , I'm 64 ,, I have loving family and friends , so thank you for your video your so right I hate going places just so I wont be alone ,, you have inspired me , I'll take the bull by the horns , now I can plan ,, thanks again , Brenda , and some day god will send me a husband , ahhhhhhhhh,, brenda

thank you

I’m single, 39 and no family around. I just stumbled on your videos and enjoy them. I’ve had a hot water heater replaced, stairs to attic taken down, bedroom ceiling repainted, and a broken fridge - all within 1 month. Oh and a breakup. 2024 was a bad year for me health wise as well. Idk how we hold on. I’ve clung to god a lot this year. I pray 2025 is better and heals.

This is absolutely lovely! I am single too and discovered the joy of solo Christmas the year my brother died. I didn't want to go anywhere and so I didn't. Then there was COVID and a Xmas where I had to stay home and celebrate solo, and that was when I discovered the absolute joy of not following other people's plans but deciding for myself what I most wanted to do. What an amazing discovery that was. This Xmas I will be alone again and I know some people feel sorry for me, but I know the richness of what I have planned: the music, the movies, the yummy food I plan to make, and the gift and stocking I have prepared for myself. I will have some family and friend get togethers as well over the course of the coming week, but they are not the main event. I too think of myself as being the head of a family of one (plus kitty). I hope you have an amazing Xmas! What you have planned sounds wonderful!

I'm kind of distracted by the idea of sourdough cinnamon rolls, so please share some pictures of those when you make them! I've spent the last couple of Christmases doing my own thing and I enjoyed it. No pressure and no stress, just doing what I wanted and not having to deal with anything. I am going to my niece's this year because she's just got her own house and is really excited about hosting Christmas for the first time. Hope you enjoy your day and the rest of the break.

Thank you for sharing! Love the green door!

Love that shade of green on the door, and the white walls look good. Hope you've had good weather for the rest.

How fun that on a completely different platform I saw you quoted on your Huffpost article. Keep going, you are doing great things.

Good morning Y.L. I think you’re doing an amazing job with painting your garage. I can understand your frustration with not getting everything done when you expected to but sometimes you just have to revise your goals for the day. Keep up the good work.

I usually try and walk or run every day, but I've also learned over time that sometimes I need to listen to my body and take a rest. I've had a few minor injuries over recent years, and sometimes I just need to rest for a day or two to stop myself getting an aggravation that'll mean I have to miss a lot more days! Also this time of the year, some days it just can't happen because of weather and darkness. Can be frustrating (got a storm coming in right now to wipe out the whole weekend) but just have to accept it.

Good morning YL, My situation is different than yours in that I’m a 70 year old man with grown children and now grandchildren. I’ve been single for almost 20 years. My dad passed close to 25 years ago and I lost my mom a few weeks before Christmas last year. After losing a loved one especially a parent holidays are always hard times. I would never try to give you advice I can only tell you what I’ve done to handle stress and the holidays. I have decided that I’m going to choose what I allow my siblings and anyone else for that matter to include or involve me in. If I feel I need to spend the day alone then I’ll just tell my siblings or my children thank you for inviting me to your house but I probably won’t be there. I guess what I’m trying to say is that I can appreciate you and your struggles but I think you’re doing an amazing job of coping for your own physical and mental health. It can be a long road but you’re doing great, keep it up my friend.

Can you do a how to style video on black satin cargo pants please

Outstanding video

What you said is why I keep telling my husband the things he thinks are "no big deal" when he fixes things around the house that its not "no big deal" because I'm like you. I dont know how to do these things. I can look it up but he just "knows how to do it". Or he has the strength to do it. I am super grateful that I have someone and you really brought that home. I also agree girls need to be in shop and guys need to be in homec. Guys dont know how to cook, clean or shop. And girls done know how to do home repair and auto repair. Its ridiculous! Best I can tell you about the screws is just make sure you pre drill your holes then your screws go where you want them to go. Depending on how much you plan to do with wood the best tool we bought was our power miter saw. We use it for everything and best of all I can use it myself with out help. At minute 8 just know you were getting a big virtual hug there. I have a garage to paint to but I am waiting till spring for it to warm up. I have to go in and out of it all Winter and I am afraid the paint wont dry properly and I dont want the smell in the house. But I cant wait to do it. Right now its green dry wall LOL Hang in there! Give yourself a bit of grace. You are doing it even if it doesn't feel very successful it really is. Plus you are learning so much. This job maybe hard but what you learn doing it will make the next one easier. We need like "buddy handymen". Or women doesn't really matter either way just people that can help with little things. Now you have "contractors". Everything is over priced and the quality of work is terrible. Anyways thank you for sharing your journey. See you in the next video!

i hear your frustrations. if it makes you feel any better, i've got a pal i've roped ito helping me but they don't have the technical know-how either so we're just company for each other while we laugh at our mistakes and try to figure out a workaround.

Good afternoon YL, I’m a 70 year young single man and I can understand your frustration. There are a lot of projects I would like to do in my house but like you I don’t have anyone to help me. If we lived near each other we could help each other. Good luck with your project if there’s anything I can help you with just let me know.

Recently, I visited your RUclips channels and I found some problems. I think, and believe that if you can fix that problem, then your channel will grow very gradually. then your channel is possible to grow. ....

Good morning YL, granted I’m not a woman and therefore I have no experience with this but I appreciate your honesty and willingness to to talk about this subject to help other women. I hope you have an amazing weekend.

LOOK AT YOU!! I love your vlogs! Your pumpkin turned out FANTASTIC! Mine have never looked that good-- and I know its not a competition. I just know how hard it is to get a jack o' lantern looking good. You did great and you look so happy. Are we doing a BINGO for Thanksgiving?

What a great idea, a bingo board = super creative and motivational love it!
