Dear Susan, I’m sorry I missed wishing you a happy Easter…it’s my favorite celebration! I’ve been busier than usual since starting a dear widow’s group in my home, but please know I always love ALL your works of love! You are a celebration of life because you set your mind on overcoming hardships and help us see the creative beauty out of pain❣️Your smile and eyes radiate it ( and that eye shadow on you…OooLaLa😁)❣️ I so appreciate what you said about growing up…because, even at 78…I am still “growing up” into a new me! I believe it’s the best me ever❣️ I’m so sorry about your finger owee! I hope it heals quickly, dear! All blessings are hoped and prayed for you…YES…I really do pray for you! Anyone followed by so many is in great need of God’s help 🥰❤️ I Love You, Toni
@@tonihendrix6652 Oh Toni, you never ever fail to touch my heart! I love what you said about growing up...maybe it's just women our age who sort of know what we are talking about...but we are different and we are changing. We are thriving and making a difference....but it's new, much of our lives and how we see ourselves and the world, IS new! Our 70's are an amazing time...how is your group going???!!! Much love for the coming week! Susan & Desi
Dear Susan, Thank you for asking about my sweet widow’s group! You would love every single one of them…talk about wisdom❣️ It’s bitter sweet but beautiful because our pain of loss draws us together for comfort, tears and laughter only we can give. But the group is out growing my home! It’s kind of like your group here… honey and hurt are sweet companions! ❤❤Blessings and prayers on you and your lovely “group”💕🙏🏼You are investing yourself in something that is HUGE, HARD & PRECIOUS❣️I love you! And you are always welcome at our widows group💐🥰
My husband died in January after 46 years of marriage. I've been with him since I was 19 and now I'm 67 years old. I'm creating a new life for myself as I have never lived alone in my whole life. It's different but I find myself liking it more and more everyday 😊
My heart goes out to you. What a wonderful attitude you have. My husband died 15 months ago. I know what you are going through, and having the kind of attitude you have is truly heroic.
Sending love & light to you ladies who are healing from such a great loss. Please know you're in a safe community here in the Little Poet Society (as I call it). Thanks to Susan for this channel! May peace be with you as your hearts heal.
"Where did my boldness go?" haha I am just the opposite.. the older I get the bolder I get. My motto is "I say what I mean , and I mean what I say!" I think it started when I was 50... now I am 73 and I love it. No one intimidates me now. Its a wonderful feeling.
My favorite thing about the airplane in her bag...if I need to fly away, I know it's there. Even if it's just pretend, it's right there. Even if it's just pretend... ❤
When I think of your story of rescue of Desi My heart ❤just melts . *Susan today I am having the Blues For no particular reason except thinking’s that Life is very swift And sometimes I just want to die peacefully because now at my 81st year Yet . Do feel ashamed of my thoughts For I am fortunate to have a very caring family, Is just that I am becoming tired , not depressed Just tired My joy is finding your vlog on Utube Your smile brings sunshine to my life and wee Desi brings so much joy by his tearing around Your beautiful garden back yard . Bless your heart ❤ Mary Canada 🍁
My 93 year old mother in law had a wi-fi picture frame while living in assisted living. I surprised her one day by sending her pictures of Clint Eastwood to her picture frame, her big crush. She loved them!
That’s so sweet, Her Clint Eastwood! - My husband and I used to have one person we called (our silly fantasy love) mine was Robert Duvall ‘still is’ 😊. Um I want a Wi-Fi picture frame, perhaps Christmas. ❣️ ~ 🌲
hi Susan (is that your name? sorry im old, i know it usually!) --- hey tip i learned living in central america- if you put avocado in bowl of water in fridge, it slows the ripening/lasts longer/doesnt get black....(maybe i told you this already or maybe you already knew...in case you didnt...that helped my avocado eat- to garbage ratio !! lol ) cheers from AU
I also was brought up to be seen and not heard. My daughter reminds me often, I'm allowed to take up space. My wants and needs are just as important as anyone else's!
Five years ago, I was upset arguing with my now-ex on the phone in a parking lot next to the street of my childhood home (I was there for comfort). I felt weak & defeated. Suddenly, I saw my 10yo self riding her bike past my car, the breeze blowing her long blonde hair, and a huge smile on her face. She looked at me, young & free, before mean boys jaded her happy spirit. The flashback of my younger self gave me the strength to let him go. 💗🌷
Love your message! I so enjoy you! I will be 66yrs in June. Your house is Cozy & pretty. Love your new dress & last year's dress! I alway loved y I ur Venus hauls, I hope yiu do them again.🎉
I'm 67 and I just love your videos.❤ They are so calming, precious, peaceful, and uplifting. I have a question, tho? I did order the beauty products. The "TW- Real Bifda Ampoule" serum. I also ordered the eye cream. Before I start using them, I just wanted to know if you use them once a day everyday and if you were still having the same results with no irritation? Thanks so much.
Susan, every single time I see Desi my smile just goes from ear to ear. I loved seeing him out in the beautiful green grass and flowers. He looks so happy. "This is our yard right mom?" he's so proud.
Little Poet, you always manage to sneak in a line or two in our visits that plucks a string in my heart. My heart begins to swell, and I realize you've uncovered an emotion or memory that I thought was buried long ago. Thanks LP.........
A few months back I was on the struggle bus; life felt hard and overwhelming. A dear friend said to me “See SPRING”🌷👀 ~ Even in the midst of the darkness, a vision of new life resonated within my spirit. Not long after that I began a restorative care program with the chiropractor from my BNI group (who focuses on treating the central nervous system). Mine had become so dysregulated from all the trauma in my life. Although I had done a lot of mental and spiritual work, my body was still keeping the score and NEEDED more help than I could give it. Today I feel like a completely new person❣️I’ve rebranded my business… and for the first time in many years I am filled with the HOPE and FAITH of better days to come. Here’s hoping this might inspire someone else to “See Spring” again as well 🌷👀 “See, I am doing a NEW thing! Now it SPRINGS up; do you not perceive it?

I think we mellow as we age and some of the things that really got under our skin when we were younger no longer bother us, not because we are timid but because we recognize that our time and energy are limited and we dismiss the issue because that's not the hill we are willing to fight and die on.
So true, at 67 I feel like I am in an adult childhood… learning all over again. It is so wonderful and I know it is a gift. I never lose sight of this gift of aging.
Love the dresses. Gorgeous. Makeup is beautiful. Sorry about finger accident. Never get tired of seeing Desi in is backyard. King of the backyard. Please squeeze in a little more Desi❤🐶
Loved this! Beautiful flowers & seeing Desi among them......even more so! Hal seems like such a fun guy! Nice to see him. You know, the older I get, the bolder I become, I've found. It just happens. I'm not afraid anymore. Have a great week!❤
Very hard week for me. Fell into depression. I work two jobs and have had issues with both of them. One of them is retaliating against me. I was under the old contract and they got a new contract and wanted me to drop my salary by $7.00 and work more hours for less without benefits. Fighting the fight and going to the labor board to sue them. They have been sued many times before. I'm 65 on 4/20. I'm tired but feel I need to fight.
I’m 73 years old and some days I still look in the mirror and say who are you, who are you today, not the same person as yesterday but who are you today?❣️
I just turned 72 Monday the 8th. What a birthday the Eclipse. Never have that kind of gift. You are gorgeous Susan and i love you! Hi Hal, glad to see you doing good. Have a great week!❤
I love your videos. Don't stop making them. There's such a calmness and a peace. In the midst of all that goes on in my life, when I watch your videos, I give myself permission to calm down, slow down, and think about simple things that mean something to me. Thanks for doing this!
Good to see you and Desi. Your yard looks pretty lots of spring flowers ❤. Your skin does look especially radiant though your always beautiful. Cute 😍 haircut as well. I don't think at the hospital you were being quiet. Overly polite maybe & just letting the younger generation innocently flirt.Thanks for sharing 🥰
Your grand daughter sounds so much like mine.Bold & full of confidence . love the air plane she carries in her purse the thought that if she could fly away if she has to is so magical.I turned 65 today and my life is the best as I am still here to share it with my grand children.
Someone told me that at our age, “ The worst is over, it’s done. We finished our education, our career, raising our children etc” so this has actually made me more bold. I am 64 and I find because of this I am more bold.
I spent twenty one years as a Pre-school Teacher, and those four-year olds taught me how to truly live life! Enjoy your granddaughter, and continue to pay attention. You will transform and get even younger!
That dress is stunning on you Susan,it also looks very comfortable. It is still cold in the UK, I wish spring would hurry up. I still feel very sad after the death of my cat Marcus, he was such a gentle boy….the day we got him he was so shy and afraid…eventually he would lie next to me, I would put my hands on him and send him love and he would start purring. It was an honour to earn his trust over the years. I remember when you first saw Desi he was so afraid…look at him now. Our animals are so precious, every day we have with them is a gift.
I'm so sorry that you have lost your precious cat. They bring us so much love and comfort. Hoping that another sweet kitty soul finds their way into your heart to help you heal! XX ❤️
Susan your boldness is in the colorful dress you wore, your colorful flowers in your yard, your boldness is to be so vulnerable to share your life's story with us. You definitely haven't lost your boldness!!! I'm rediscovering mine & mimics my mother's boldness to survive a not so easy life. Thank you for sharing Desi with us, he's the boldness roaming through your beautiful spring garden. Happy Spring...🌻🌷🌼🌞🌺💐🌹🐕🐾🐾🐾🐾
Okay Susan I was watching some of your old videos again and you know you really could paint your bedroom a very pale green.... It would go with everything you own ! every comforter you've ever shown and curtains.... I think you'd actually like it❤
Your presentation and home are a reflection of your welcoming and gracious manner. Colour and design have always been my forte, and I have been inspired to introduce orange, red and yellow roses into my decor (previously pink shades) and I enjoy how they warm my living room. My cousin in Sydney (Aust.) introduced me to your YT videos just prior to you relocating cities. I am 66 and delighted to see someone in my age-group earning a living from YT and bringing joy to so many and uplifting us. Thank you, Susan.
I’m doing great. I’m 70 and have been working out 5 day a week and watching what I eat. I feel so good . I’ve always been health conscious but this year I have goals I truly want to meet. I love the black dress, the boots look awesome with it. It truly is a dreamy dress, you’ll impress your date for sure😄👍❤️
Very impressed with yr selff care. Iam trying my best now too a cple of days a week and am watching my nutrition. It is quite empowering i find . I really appreciate this site and the kind comments. Very calming for me and i have goals too ,even at 76..
Your videos are lovely. I confess, I have become accustomed to your singing duets with Desi! God's blessings to you and your beloved family in a peaceful week ahead.
Love this reframe: "I realized that I'm just growing up again only in a different era of my life, and there's some things I have to get used to." So helpful.
What a sweet granddaughter you have. I used to be able to escape into my imagination when I was young. It's not as easy for me now unfortunately. I love your dress. You look beautiful in it. Here's a tip for you... When you cut the avocado in half, just squeeze the half with the pit in it and it will pop right out. Hope you heal quickly. You and Desi have a wonderful week.
Hi Susan, I did the avocado thing as well 😂 but didn’t need to go to ER . I’m,76 and my adult children are often saying to me Mum what’s happened to you , you would always stand up for yourself , after much thought I realise I don’t like any confrontation in my life anymore I’d rather walk away so I know how you’re feeling. Love the dress so feminine. 💞 Thank you for the video have a great week hugs to you and Desi ✨🤗💕🩵✨
Beautiful Anthony dress and beautiful on you!! Also luv your necklace!! Appreciate the information on the digital frame! How fantastic is it that you wake up to surprise photos!! Very thoughtful of your son to keep updating!
Susan, I would really like to see a tutorial on your "up do" hairstyle. It makes that black floral dress more dressy!! I'm in the total eclipse path of totality! Can't wait for Monday.
C'mon, now, don't be one of those people who cannot believe that a man and a woman cannot be just friends. Perhaps one or the other in this kind of relationship wants it to be romantic, but it can work being just friends.
It's wonderful to see you enjoying your life. And l appreciate knowing that Hal is okay. And Desi is always a delight. The dress is beautiful. I love all the colors. Your granddaughter sounds charming and original. My mother always wanted me to be bold. It's too bad she's no longer here to see she got her wish (most of the time).
I have to say that this dress is perfect for you - you glow in the black with pops of color! Of course, your content (really is ‘you being you’ that makes it) is wonderful as always. Thank you very much. ❤
Susan, you are adorable and so down to earth! I appreciate and enjoy your videos so much, as I can relate to everything you say in this beautiful season of our lives. Thank you for sharing your beautiful self and Desi. With much love and gratitude, Mary
Susan, I'm with our granddaughter!❤Please tell her I'm going to start carrying a little airplane in my purse, too, in case I want to fly away! ❤✈That's a great idea! I swear, Desi is getting cuter and cuter....Love ❤ it when he sings 🎶with you at the end of your video!! Take care and God bless!❤
You look amazing! You are so lovely and whimsical. You remind me of a dear relative. I watch an episode from you and Desi each night before I go to sleep. Thank you for your kindness. 😊
I love to visit you through you awesome loveling cute videos...I laugh and cry with you..I'm also staying alone as my husband passed away nearly 4 years ago....I'm staying next to my Son,s house..actually on his grounds..Have a wonderfull BEAUTIFULL day you and Desi .....❤❤❤
I think I'm going to start carrying a little plane in my handbag because there are many times when I'd like to fly away too. Your granddaughter, she's one smart cookie! ❤ Your thumbnail photo is beautiful! Have you ever grown your bangs out?
Hello from Ontario Canada Susan and Desi, thank you for another great video, I enjoyed seeing Hal and watching g you use your new mixer, I love all the Spring flowers I can’t wait to get out into my garden, so sorry you hurt/ cut your finger, but glad you got it looked after. I also enjoyed the new black and flower dress, and I can’t wait to hear about your date, hopefully we can hear about it by next Saturdays video, well dear Lady, have a beautiful week and no more accidents, I also can’t wait to see what you are goi g to accomplish in your garden. God bless, keep well see you next Saturday, I remain a friend and a fan❤️🥰🇨🇦🇺🇸❤️🐾🐾🐾💐
My spring favourite is Desi in the backyard! 💙🌼🌼🌼🌼 So, it's 2:54 am in my country, I was waiting for new video Susan! Oh my God, I'm so sorry you had to visit ER!! I wish you fast recovery! Greetings from Serbia ❤
😢Oh Susan I have to tell you I Love your couch !!!! Much improved !!!! Id do navy plaid pillows instead of black and white..... I actually like that cool blue tone on you.. very striking !!!. I prefer the mats in makeup myself, opposed to the shimmer, now that I'm older... Love your new dress ❤
Don't stab at the avocado just whack it with the knife (lightly) just enough to crease the avocado pit with the blade of the knife (or even a cake server) then twist it slightly and lift out. Works like a charm. Take care!
@@joannefreeman3573 😁 as long as you get to eat the avocado ! It's all good. The knife (flexible spatula or dessert server) trick is a holdover from my restaurant days.
I'm 20 seconds into your video and I love that your granddaughter has an airplane in her purse. The last flight I took, the flight was a little delayed and I think that they had to call a new pilot in. The new pilot was all of 4'10 MAYBE and she couldn't have been over 95 pounds. Flying a 737. I thought "Oh my god, honey I'm so proud of you!". I didn't know her LOL. But I felt such immense joy that it's such a logical career for women now! Who knows? Maybe your granddaughter will be a pilot too. Wouldn't that be great?? Edit: OMG I'm so sorry you cut yourself! Two days ago, I was using kitchen scissors to open a new bag of coffee and it was tough. I thought "huh, that's weird!" And I neatly cut the palm of my hand open I feel your pain! I hope that it heals soon!
I love your spirit. You voice what so many of us experience. I know for me, something has changed the last few years of speaking up for myself more than ever. As a kid, I was always told kids are best not seen or heard, and I had to be out of my parents house at 18, no exceptions. So I always was fending for myself, but not causing any noise or fuss. Being industrious and making money for helping neighbors for all kinds of things as early as 6 years old. Anything I wanted, I had to find a way to buy it myself. I learned to be outgoing work wise, but be quiet and essentially non-existent otherwise. But I’m a happy, bubbly personality. Once I turned 18 and living alone, I could be my happy, bubbly me in my own home. It took me awhile to voice opinions in front of those in authority though, always feeling I had more to learn from them. The beauty of being older, I feel like I’ve lived enough, and earned the right to be the CEO of my life, the ultimate authority and last word (other than God) to make decisions and speak out for me. Your granddaughter has this gift early. How wonderful is THAT! And I would like to believe the women of our generation (I’m just a couple years younger than you) helped clear the path for girls like your granddaughter to fully be themselves and empowered and bold. I love that. Speaking our opinion and choices with grace and feminine wisdom is a gift. A gift those around us need. And I feel this from you. Beauty, grace and wisdom is what you are giving to the world. Never hold yourself back. You are worthy and earned this time in your life. Own it, embrace and empower YOURSELF. ☮️💟✝️
I loved Desi among the flowers. I’m so happy you rescued that precious boy from his darkness. ❤ - And your sweet granddaughter with “her Airplane” to fly away. That stole the show!
I had a rough week too my knee was swollen & when I was folding the laundry I twisted my leg and heard my knee cracked & the pain was unbearable, found an orthopedic on line 7 miles from my home & they agreed to see me , I had to force myself to drive and went, after couple of x-rays on my knee & my knee only an arrogant rude doctor came into the exam room & looked at me knee & said I need a knee & hip replacement 🙀🙀🙀what ??? I am not complaining of my hip just a swollen knee & pain . I asked if there are any alternatives the answer was nope but I can take anti-inflammation for 6 weeks & he was sure it will not help me what about the pain I am in pain …too bad…I left the office very angry , went home & started looking for another knee specialist, found one went the next day he said he’ll suck the fluid in my knee give a cortisone shot & I shall be fine after few days resting & not standing on my feet. No knee or hip surgery? I asked his answer nope you do not need it. I wonder how may patients had unnecessary surgeries they did not need !!!!
Good for you to get a second opinion. So many people just take one opinion and are taken advantage of. I had a dental appointment where there were a few dentists in the office. The lady said I had 8 cavities. I went to another doctor and he said I had no cavities and my teeth were in good condition. I wished I would have reported that dentist. These people out of integrity need to be reported.
Loved your video! ❤ I especially liked what you said at the end. I am in my 60’s and thinking more of when I was a child. I want to embrace my age and this time of my life and be the best I can be.❤
Now I think I need an airplane for my purse😊
I'm with you Kat!

Yes, I loved her comment! She was telling herself not to be afraid of what life brings, because she is ready! She has an “Out!”❤
It spoke volumes to me
Desi, amongst the spring flowers in his very own yard, just melts my heart. ❤🇨🇦😘
Oh thank you for saying that...the little doggie raised in a closet for 4 years is free..and happy..and king of his very own backyard!!!

I love your new hairstyle. Very youthful!
Mine too. And the photo of his first night. ❤

*Susan today I am having the Blues
For no particular reason except thinking’s that Life is very swift
And sometimes I just want to die peacefully because now at my 81st year
Yet . Do feel ashamed of my thoughts
For I am fortunate to have a very caring family,
Is just that I am becoming tired , not depressed
Just tired
My joy is finding your vlog on Utube
Your smile brings sunshine to my life and wee
Desi brings so much joy by his tearing around
Your beautiful garden back yard .
Bless your heart ❤

hi Susan (is that your name? sorry im old, i know it usually!) --- hey tip i learned living in central america- if you put avocado in bowl of water in fridge, it slows the ripening/lasts longer/doesnt get black....(maybe i told you this already or maybe you already knew...in case you didnt...that helped my avocado eat- to garbage ratio !! lol ) cheers from AU
Avocadoes can be frozen also. I slice them, freeze on a tray and when frozen put into ziplock bags. Great in salads, smoothies, guacamole, etc.
Susan; What kind of lipstick are you wearing, and what color?
You modeling the black dress, definite Stevie Nicks vibes. Perfect dress for the concert.
I also was brought up to be seen and not heard. My daughter reminds me often, I'm allowed to take up space. My wants and needs are just as important as anyone else's!
I love this! We women have come a long way!
Me too...they actually had a plaque on the wall that said this! (children should be seen and not heard)
Five years ago, I was upset arguing with my now-ex on the phone in a parking lot next to the street of my childhood home (I was there for comfort). I felt weak & defeated.

This gave me comfort. I also go to my former home and just sit there for a while and remember those carefree days.
@@gailjones9461 I'm so glad you can relate. It really helps keep us grounded to revisit our youth! ((hugs))

I love Hal . He’s so down to earth and fun , what you see is what you get . !!! Nice man …
100% right! He's a hard man not to love!
@LittlePoet I love the pic of yoU and Hal in the huge Adirondack chair at Robinettes 🍎
Your hair looks so pretty when you have it up. Beautiful this evening in that floral dress❤

An airplane in her purse, such imagination! So precious!
Your Granddaughter is gifted with your imagination. How sweet to fly away✈️
I love seeing you and Hal together! What a lovely man he is and you two share such great senses of humour
Oh thank you!
Would love for you to do a hair tutorial...from start to finish! Right out of the shower!! So pretty.
What ? No singing from Desi ? Love his serenade 😂😊
Susan, the “cool tone” eyeshadow look gives your eyes more depth and really accentuates your eye color!
oh wow!!! Thank you!!!
A few months back I was on the struggle bus; life felt hard and overwhelming. A dear friend said to me “See SPRING”🌷👀 ~ Even in the midst of the darkness, a vision of new life resonated within my spirit. Not long after that I began a restorative care program with the chiropractor from my BNI group (who focuses on treating the central nervous system). Mine had become so dysregulated from all the trauma in my life. Although I had done a lot of mental and spiritual work, my body was still keeping the score and NEEDED more help than I could give it.

Love that scripture!! how apropos
That scripture spoke to me today, thank you so much for sharing it. I am going to type it up and put it on my fridge.
I am weeping. Thank you. I am ready for the new thing Tha comes forth from the Lord. Still healing after so many difficult things. ❤
So so so funny that the lovely Hal sends pictures of himself to your photo frame !!! 😂
Love ya' Hal
You is a scream !

I think we mellow as we age and some of the things that really got under our skin when we were younger no longer bother us, not because we are timid but because we recognize that our time and energy are limited and we dismiss the issue because that's not the hill we are willing to fight and die on.
I do agree. We are now picking our battles, some things are not worth the energy.
So very true. Limited & precious. 🇦🇺🐨💙
So true, at 67 I feel like I am in an adult childhood… learning all over again. It is so wonderful and I know it is a gift. I never lose sight of this gift of aging.
❤ "I get to fly away, even if it's only pretend", Love That! ❤❤❤❤❤
Love the dresses. Gorgeous. Makeup is beautiful. Sorry about finger accident. Never get tired of seeing Desi in is backyard. King of the backyard. Please squeeze in a little more Desi❤🐶
Susan I love your friendship with Hal!!! Always love it when you include him in your videos. You look beautiful in the new dress ❤
I love Hal!
Loved this!
Beautiful flowers & seeing Desi among them......even more so!
Hal seems like such a fun guy! Nice to see him.
You know, the older I get, the bolder I become, I've found.
It just happens. I'm not afraid anymore.
Have a great week!❤
Very hard week for me. Fell into depression. I work two jobs and have had issues with both of them. One of them is retaliating against me. I was under the old contract and they got a new contract and wanted me to drop my salary by $7.00 and work more hours for less without benefits. Fighting the fight and going to the labor board to sue them. They have been sued many times before. I'm 65 on 4/20. I'm tired but feel I need to fight.
I hope you FIGHT and find people who will help you FIGHT HARD!!!
That's a ridiculous offer. My thoughts are with you. Good luck!!!
I’m going to put a little airplane in my own purse!! The black floral dress is so pretty! Glad you are okay from the cut! - Belinda
I’m 73 years old and some days I still look in the mirror and say who are you, who are you today, not the same person as yesterday but who are you today?❣️
I just turned 72 Monday the 8th. What a birthday the Eclipse. Never have that kind of gift. You are gorgeous Susan and i love you!
Hi Hal, glad to see you doing good. Have a great week!❤
Desi has bloomed since being in a loving home…y’all have bloomed TOGETHER❤️❤️ I love you guys!!
I love your videos. Don't stop making them. There's such a calmness and a peace. In the midst of all that goes on in my life, when I watch your videos, I give myself permission to calm down, slow down, and think about simple things that mean something to me. Thanks for doing this!
I feel the same way when I watch Susan's videos. She's an angel and Desi is a precious pup! 😇🐾
Good to see you and Desi. Your yard looks pretty lots of spring flowers ❤. Your skin does look especially radiant though your always beautiful. Cute 😍 haircut as well. I don't think at the hospital you were being quiet. Overly polite maybe & just letting the younger generation innocently flirt.Thanks for sharing 🥰
Your grand daughter sounds so much like mine.Bold & full of confidence . love the air plane she carries in her purse the thought that if she could fly away if she has to is so magical.I turned 65 today and my life is the best as I am still here to share it with my grand children.
Someone told me that at our age, “ The worst is over, it’s done. We finished our education, our career, raising our children etc” so this has actually made me more bold. I am 64 and I find because of this I am more bold.
And. It's never over... 🌹
I just turned 70 and started a RUclips channel. Never too late❤
I spent twenty one years as a Pre-school Teacher, and those four-year olds taught me how to truly live life! Enjoy your granddaughter, and continue to pay attention. You will transform and get even younger!
I, too, was a preschool teacher and I said pretty much the same thing!
That dress is stunning on you Susan,it also looks very comfortable. It is still cold in the UK, I wish spring would hurry up. I still feel very sad after the death of my cat Marcus, he was such a gentle boy….the day we got him he was so shy and afraid…eventually he would lie next to me, I would put my hands on him and send him love and he would start purring. It was an honour to earn his trust over the years. I remember when you first saw Desi he was so afraid…look at him now. Our animals are so precious, every day we have with them is a gift.
I'm so sorry that you have lost your precious cat. They bring us so much love and comfort. Hoping that another sweet kitty soul finds their way into your heart to help you heal! XX ❤️
@@bobbibartley549 thank you,for your kind words.
Liked your hair today at the beginning of the video‼
Your skin is stunning, so smooth and glowing. You are beautiful.
Susan your boldness is in the colorful dress you wore, your colorful flowers in your yard, your boldness is to be so vulnerable to share your life's story with us. You definitely haven't lost your boldness!!! I'm rediscovering mine & mimics my mother's boldness to survive a not so easy life. Thank you for sharing Desi with us, he's the boldness roaming through your beautiful spring garden. Happy Spring...🌻🌷🌼🌞🌺💐🌹🐕🐾🐾🐾🐾
You look wonderful in your new dress. I love it, so youthful very Stevie Nicks perfect for a concert❤.
I sort of felt " STevie" in it!!! "You see your Gypsy!!! "
I thought that too! Complete Stevie Nicks vibe!
Yes, same . It's lovely 🌺
Yesss I thought she's Stevie Nick's style🎉🎉🎉
So glad I found you. You have no idea how soothing your words are to my soul.
what a lovely thing to say to me....you touch my heart!
Okay Susan I was watching some of your old videos again and you know you really could paint your bedroom a very pale green.... It would go with everything you own ! every comforter you've ever shown and curtains.... I think you'd actually like it❤
Your presentation and home are a reflection of your welcoming and gracious manner. Colour and design have always been my forte, and I have been inspired to introduce orange, red and yellow roses into my decor (previously pink shades) and I enjoy how they warm my living room. My cousin in Sydney (Aust.) introduced me to your YT videos just prior to you relocating cities. I am 66 and delighted to see someone in my age-group earning a living from YT and bringing joy to so many and uplifting us. Thank you, Susan.
Beautiful Desi, so proud of his own back yard. What a gorgeous little soul 💕
Sometimes we flash back to our little girl mode, maybe she hasn't completely healed yet. Hugs ❤
I’m doing great. I’m 70 and have been working out 5 day a week and watching what I eat. I feel so good . I’ve always been health conscious but this year I have goals I truly want to meet. I love the black dress, the boots look awesome with it. It truly is a dreamy dress, you’ll impress your date for sure😄👍❤️
Very impressed with yr selff care. Iam trying my best now too a cple of days a week and am watching my nutrition. It is quite empowering i find . I really appreciate this site and the kind comments. Very calming for me and i have goals too ,even at 76..
We all feel vulnerable at times, no matter what our age - especially in an ER! Heal quickly, my friend.
I need an airplane in my purse right now! Ty 😢. Beautiful Video, Susan!!❤
Hope you are healing well. Your hair and skin look so beautiful.
Your videos are lovely. I confess, I have become accustomed to your singing duets with Desi! God's blessings to you and your beloved family in a peaceful week ahead.
Do you think I should ask Desi to sing for us next week?
@@LittlePoet That would be lovely! You both sound lovely together! Thank you for all you bring to your show.
Desi is so sweet. I love knowing he is a happy boy.
He is my sweet boy...or King of the Backyard!
Love this reframe: "I realized that I'm just growing up again only in a different era of my life, and there's some things I have to get used to." So helpful.
What a sweet granddaughter you have. I used to be able to escape into my imagination when I was young. It's not as easy for me now unfortunately. I love your dress. You look beautiful in it. Here's a tip for you... When you cut the avocado in half, just squeeze the half with the pit in it and it will pop right out. Hope you heal quickly. You and Desi have a wonderful week.
Oh I will try this...sort of like making deviled eggs!!
@@LittlePoet You are not alone..I hear a very common injury in the ER...ouch!! Blessed your healing.
Hi Susan, I did the avocado thing as well 😂 but didn’t need to go to ER .
I’m,76 and my adult children are often saying to me Mum what’s happened to you , you would always stand up for yourself , after much thought I realise I don’t like any confrontation in my life anymore I’d rather walk away so I know how you’re feeling.
Love the dress so feminine. 💞
Thank you for the video have a great week hugs to you and Desi ✨🤗💕🩵✨
Beautiful Anthony dress and beautiful on you!! Also luv your necklace!! Appreciate the information on the digital frame! How fantastic is it that you wake up to surprise photos!! Very thoughtful of your son to keep updating!
Susan, I would really like to see a tutorial on your "up do" hairstyle. It makes that black floral dress more dressy!!
I'm in the total eclipse path of totality! Can't wait for Monday.
Oh wow!!!! You are in the right place for Monday!!!!
Take heed! Don't waste precious time, Hal is your true love ❤️make it happen!💖
C'mon, now, don't be one of those people who cannot believe that a man and a woman cannot be just friends. Perhaps one or the other in this kind of relationship wants it to be romantic, but it can work being just friends.
I wish the same...I hope Susan doesn't let Hal slip away! He is a gem!!!
It's wonderful to see you enjoying your life. And l appreciate knowing that Hal is okay. And Desi is always a delight. The dress is beautiful. I love all the colors. Your granddaughter sounds charming and original. My mother always wanted me to be bold. It's too bad she's no longer here to see she got her wish (most of the time).
The bright green earrings are gorgeous on you with the floral dress: perfect accent colour & size. Greetings from Ireland 🇮🇪
I have to say that this dress is perfect for you - you glow in the black with pops of color! Of course, your content (really is ‘you being you’ that makes it) is wonderful as always. Thank you very much. ❤
3 30 am here in North wales. Dark and windy. Drinking hot coffee before my doggie and I take our morning run. Love your videos.
I love it that you are here!!!
Susan, you are adorable and so down to earth! I appreciate and enjoy your videos so much, as I can relate to everything you say in this beautiful season of our lives. Thank you for sharing your beautiful self and Desi. With much love and gratitude, Mary
I hope you feel better and fully recovered, Susan! Enjoy the rest of the weekend, with Desi on your side, so lovely! ❤
Loved the dress Susan…love the airplane idea. Don’t we all need one of those in our purse!
I love your grand daughter’s idea of “flying away”….think I’ll put an airplane in my purse, too💖
Susan, I'm with our granddaughter!❤Please tell her I'm going to start carrying a little airplane in my purse, too, in case I want to fly away! ❤✈That's a great idea!
I swear, Desi is getting cuter and cuter....Love ❤ it when he sings 🎶with you at the end of your video!! Take care and God bless!❤
You are so sweet and yes, I have a little airplane in my purse now and it makes me feel better!!!
@@LittlePoet I just love the little airplane! I’m getting one!
💜 Excited to begin your video tonight. Hope Desi has his singing tie on tonight!
You look amazing! You are so lovely and whimsical. You remind me of a dear relative. I watch an episode from you and Desi each night before I go to sleep. Thank you for your kindness. 😊
"Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much," - Helen Keller.
Thanks for sharing. Beautiful Decor & great items ❤
Lovely...and so true...together!

I adore you! Happy Wednesday Mary!!!
Best wishes on your finger healing Susan.
I think I'm going to start carrying a little plane in my handbag because there are many times when I'd like to fly away too. Your granddaughter, she's one smart cookie! ❤ Your thumbnail photo is beautiful! Have you ever grown your bangs out?
Needed a cheer up and you sure did it!
Hello from Ontario Canada Susan and Desi, thank you for another great video, I enjoyed seeing Hal and watching g you use your new mixer, I love all the Spring flowers I can’t wait to get out into my garden, so sorry you hurt/ cut your finger, but glad you got it looked after. I also enjoyed the new black and flower dress, and I can’t wait to hear about your date, hopefully we can hear about it by next Saturdays video, well dear Lady, have a beautiful week and no more accidents, I also can’t wait to see what you are goi g to accomplish in your garden. God bless, keep well see you next Saturday, I remain a friend and a fan❤️🥰🇨🇦🇺🇸❤️🐾🐾🐾💐
I just love Hal. He's the perfect friend. ❤
I’m I love with Dessy❤ adorable pup
He is a sweet boy!!
I think it does get harder to assert yourself when you get older. Thanks for all the great tips. ♥️🙏
My spring favourite is Desi in the backyard! 💙🌼🌼🌼🌼
So, it's 2:54 am in my country, I was waiting for new video Susan! Oh my God, I'm so sorry you had to visit ER!! I wish you fast recovery! Greetings from Serbia ❤
Thank you my sweet friend! It's going to be a wonderful Sunday!
@@LittlePoet 🌹❤
My kids did the same frame thing for me… I love when I see new photos .
😢Oh Susan I have to tell you I Love your couch !!!! Much improved !!!! Id do navy plaid pillows instead of black and white.....
I actually like that cool blue tone on you.. very striking !!!. I prefer the mats in makeup myself, opposed to the shimmer, now that I'm older...
Love your new dress ❤
and don’t forget the couch pillows, it all looks great.
Thank you for sharing! Children and grandchildren have a way of teaching us the best lessons!!!
I think you are right Molly!
Kids say the darndest things!
I love that! I think I’ll get a little airplane for my purse.
I am absolutely in love with my Kitchen Aid stand mixer. I don’t know why I didn’t buy one many years earlier. Congratulations!
Thank you so much 😊I am in love with mine too!!! It's amazing!
Don't stab at the avocado just whack it with the knife (lightly) just enough to crease the avocado pit with the blade of the knife (or even a cake server) then twist it slightly and lift out. Works like a charm. Take care!
I use a spoon to get out my pits.
@@joannefreeman3573 😁 as long as you get to eat the avocado ! It's all good. The knife (flexible spatula or dessert server) trick is a holdover from my restaurant days.
Oh my gosh !!! You look so beautiful in that dress !!!!
The dress is stunning, great find! "Favorites" is always enjoyable. Thank you 🙂
I'm 20 seconds into your video and I love that your granddaughter has an airplane in her purse. The last flight I took, the flight was a little delayed and I think that they had to call a new pilot in. The new pilot was all of 4'10 MAYBE and she couldn't have been over 95 pounds. Flying a 737. I thought "Oh my god, honey I'm so proud of you!". I didn't know her LOL. But I felt such immense joy that it's such a logical career for women now! Who knows? Maybe your granddaughter will be a pilot too. Wouldn't that be great?? Edit: OMG I'm so sorry you cut yourself! Two days ago, I was using kitchen scissors to open a new bag of coffee and it was tough. I thought "huh, that's weird!" And I neatly cut the palm of my hand open I feel your pain! I hope that it heals soon!
I love your spirit. You voice what so many of us experience. I know for me, something has changed the last few years of speaking up for myself more than ever. As a kid, I was always told kids are best not seen or heard, and I had to be out of my parents house at 18, no exceptions. So I always was fending for myself, but not causing any noise or fuss. Being industrious and making money for helping neighbors for all kinds of things as early as 6 years old. Anything I wanted, I had to find a way to buy it myself. I learned to be outgoing work wise, but be quiet and essentially non-existent otherwise. But I’m a happy, bubbly personality. Once I turned 18 and living alone, I could be my happy, bubbly me in my own home. It took me awhile to voice opinions in front of those in authority though, always feeling I had more to learn from them. The beauty of being older, I feel like I’ve lived enough, and earned the right to be the CEO of my life, the ultimate authority and last word (other than God) to make decisions and speak out for me. Your granddaughter has this gift early. How wonderful is THAT! And I would like to believe the women of our generation (I’m just a couple years younger than you) helped clear the path for girls like your granddaughter to fully be themselves and empowered and bold. I love that. Speaking our opinion and choices with grace and feminine wisdom is a gift. A gift those around us need. And I feel this from you. Beauty, grace and wisdom is what you are giving to the world. Never hold yourself back. You are worthy and earned this time in your life. Own it, embrace and empower YOURSELF. ☮️💟✝️
Yes, beautifully expressed. 🎀
and no matter how old, we carry that child within us.
I loved Desi among the flowers. I’m so happy you rescued that precious boy from his darkness. ❤ - And your sweet granddaughter with “her Airplane” to fly away. That stole the show!
I described my role in my childhood family as “dress well, present well, be articulate, but don’t express an opinion.” ‘Be a Lady’.
I had a rough week too my knee was swollen & when I was folding the laundry I twisted my leg and heard my knee cracked & the pain was unbearable, found an orthopedic on line 7 miles from my home & they agreed to see me , I had to force myself to drive and went, after couple of x-rays on my knee & my knee only an arrogant rude doctor came into the exam room & looked at me knee & said I need a knee & hip replacement 🙀🙀🙀what ??? I am not complaining of my hip just a swollen knee & pain . I asked if there are any alternatives the answer was nope but I can take anti-inflammation for 6 weeks & he was sure it will not help me what about the pain I am in pain …too bad…I left the office very angry , went home & started looking for another knee specialist, found one went the next day he said he’ll suck the fluid in my knee give a cortisone shot & I shall be fine after few days resting & not standing on my feet. No knee or hip surgery? I asked his answer nope you do not need it. I wonder how may patients had unnecessary surgeries they did not need !!!!
Good for you to get a second opinion. So many people just take one opinion and are taken advantage of. I had a dental appointment where there were a few dentists in the office. The lady said I had 8 cavities. I went to another doctor and he said I had no cavities and my teeth were in good condition. I wished I would have reported that dentist. These people out of integrity need to be reported.
@@lindafolk4598 Absolutely or at least write a review
My daughter had purses starting at age 2...loved them....she still has purses...she's 54 😂😂😂
I am so happy you wore the boots with the floral black dress...It transformed the look to a whole another level. 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Hello, beautiful. Thank you for sharing time with me. I love visiting with you each week. Many good wishes and blessings to you. Enjoy your date.
Loved your video! ❤ I especially liked what you said at the end. I am in my 60’s and thinking more of when I was a child. I want to embrace my age and this time of my life and be the best I can be.❤
Desi is also glowing😂I'm glad you look happier than ever💕💕💕
Susan, You look fabulous in the black dress it is so you ❤
I love my KitchenAid mixer, too. I use it for so many things, like dips, salads, breads and all baked goods. It's a great tool.
