Your story about Desi peeing in that mans shoe made me laugh. My little rescue dog Romeo would do the same thing..he's something I could never live without but I know that one day I will have to. That brings me to saying something to The Little Poet community that I hope doesn't bring everyone down.. On New Years Eve I wrote a comment saying how I was on night shift looking after a lovely 95 year old gentlemen with dementia and how we had sung together and how bittersweet it was. I received many replies to my comment. But tonight I am on night shift here in England sitting by David's bedside as he lay waiting to pass away.He suddenly became unwell last week and unfortunately will not recover. He hasn't eaten or drunk in 11 days and is in a semi coma. I am sitting with him to hopefully give him comfort and to watch for any change in his breathing. Unless the inevitable happens I will be here until the daytime carer takes over at 6.30am. Strangely as I often watch your latest video uploads while I'm here with David I feel your almost kind of here with me now and that feels wonderful at nearly 3am in this weird scenario know have friends rooting for us. How poignant to think I will surely never see him again as my next shift isn't until Wednesday night and God willing his suffering will have finished by then.
Oh dear! yes..I remember your comment and I remember your words and how I cried...I am praying tonight...you are an angel to David and an Agnel to everyone here that you touch...some things are meant to be...you are so very special
I can not live without coffee, TV , music. I miss my baby puppy boy every day . He was a Yorkie. He lived 12 1/2 years. I cannot live without seeing my grandson. Hey Desi. I enjoy seeing you.
I just saw this quote that reminds me of you. Life is like a camera. Just focus on what’s important, capture the good times. Develop from the negative and if things don’t work out just take another shot. Susan, you are a awesome lady.😘
I also cannot live without music. When I was 14, I discovered the Carpenters. Karen's music about love lost and love gained. But, the most important thing I cannot live without is the Lord's grace and mercy. P.S. Desi is a keeper.
Thank you for adopting Desi. I’ve had 6 rescues and each was very special. You did the best thing by leaving him alone until he realized he was not going to live In his past situation. Each relationship was rewarding. Unfortunately, due to health reasons I can’t have anymore, but there’s never a day that I don’t think of each and everyone.
I Would like to thank you, just introduce your videos to my sister because she finds herself divorce after 29 years of marriage and was feeling down and your videos are helping her she is 56 years old again thank you you truly a great inspiration to all women
Desi is so special & precious. I love him so so much. 💗💖💝💘💓 I can't live without my personal relationship with Jesus because he saved me from death & some of the Bible's scriptures are like poetry to me when I read them. I can't live without music too.
Your thrifting and love for the particulars you collect and lay out in your home reflects your authenticity and makes your home desirable, warm and inviting. You are a natural and gifted decorator and photographer.
The love for a dog and the love they give back is immeasurable… was so lovely to see you and Desi today, really cheered me up. I have my super little dog Dolly next to me watching ❤️🐶🙏
Susan, Desi is a rock star. I truly believe that Desi is the cutest, most adorable, little baby. I am a dog lover and I could never live without one in my life. I have an Irish Goldendoodle and he is my baby boy. Every Saturday I look forward to seeing you and Desi and hearing your uplifting message to us. Thank you, Susan, for sharing your beautiful life with us and sweet Desi too. ❤️
Such a beautiful video and very relaxing. Just what I need at such a stressful time in my life. Critically ill husband and ailing almost 18 year old cat. Nerves are very raw but this video is calming. ❤️
This week you really hit home when you talked about being overwhelmed ! My mom is really sick and my husband has covid . He’s recovering but it’s been stressful . I try so hard to walk, eat right and find ways to relax . I’m usually calm but it’s been tough . I had to have my blood pressure meds raised . You made me realize it is so easy to become overwhelmed with all we have on our plates . As always thank you for encouraging us !
I cannot live without my dog, my close friend that I talk to for hours every day, my beautiful shoes car and bags, my skincare, baked sweets, and the beautiful memories of my family, all have passed away. Desi is beyond precious. Your thrift shop has amazing things.
“Desi peed on his shoes”. He should receive knighthood! Sir Desi. Thank you for your uplifting episode. No wonder Sir Desi protects you so carefully. 😘
Just seeing you and Dez tonight is the pick me up I need today. Thank you Sues. You just don't know what a great affect you have on us sometimes just seeing you and hearing your voice. 🤗❤️. Oh Sues I had to come back and say how much I loved Rickie Lee Jones, oh I played her album and then cd over and over and over. I just love her. Still do. I'm going to have to get that CD out tomorrow and turn it up loud. And dance around my room. You're right, those women didn't get the credit they deserved. ❤️😭
You read my thoughts, Ms Karen T... Dear Susan, You're so delightful to watch and listen to, along with dear Desi... your videos are so relaxing, uplifting, inspiring, moving... it feeds our heart and soul... We love you dear Susan and Desi.⚘🕊💕🥰 Stay safe and well...
Dear Susan, I discovered your videos and have to tell you how much you have helped me. I lost my husband of 50 years on September 16 to Parkinson’s and a hemorrhagic stroke. I loved, still love him so much and am struggling. Our marriage wasn’t always an easy one, he was a heavy drinker until he realized that he had Parkinson’s disease. He stopped drinking because his doctor told him that he had to because it was killing him. He became a completely different person after that. He became a kinder, gentler and more loving husband. I know that he always loved me with his whole heart but was struggling with his addiction. This is so very hard to write. I rescued a little dog, Teddybear, when we were going through a terrible time. I feel that God sent him to me when I needed a friend in my life. He was so precious and my constant companion and dearest friend. He was my 8 lb. “Body dog”. He thought he was a “Rottweiler “ and would try to protect me from anyone and anything that he thought might hurt me. At first he didn’t like my husband and the feeling was mutual. He would bark when anyone came into the room where I was and was suspicious of all men. Over time he and my husband became friends though. ❤ Teddybear lived with us for 17 years and I thought I would die if anything were to happen to him but he got a horrible incurable cancer and we did lose him. By that time my husband and I were dealing with his illness and our days were filled with doctor visits and treatments. We were just trying our best to live and love each other each day and we thought we were doing fine or at least the best that we could. During this time we also lost our precious elderly cats, one right after the other, due to natural causes. They were also around 17 years. I was just broken and I know he was also. By this time my husband must have known that he was getting worse and was worried about my being alone because he bought a little puppy , another Papillon, for me. We named him “Bandit” because he has a mask on his face and Bandit quickly found his way into our family and into our hearts. My husband loved him so much. Time passed and my husband would have moments when he didn’t know who I was and wondered what I had done to his wife. Haha oh well. He had so much pain, his back, his neck and was having problems with walking. My heart breaks just thinking about it. Still, he was trying his best and I have to say that he was happy as was I and we were doing fine. Just living day to day and dealing with the problems of the disease as best as we could. One day he said that he thought we needed to get a kitten and we started looking. We had always had “Maine Coons”. A few months later he bought two and we brought them home. They were so much fun and brought so much joy to us during our very sad lives. Now, they, Lexi and Cali are over a year old and Bandit is three. We were a happy family! My husband had his stroke on Easter Sunday when we were getting ready to go to church. Covid had happened and we had been mostly staying at home because of our ages, we were both 73 years old, and were afraid of catching the disease. After a long stay at the hospital, we were able to bring him home. He had 24 hour care with a feeding tube. He couldn’t swallow and was confined to a hospital bed. We tried, he tried so hard to get better but the disease wouldn’t allow him. He was home for three months. The night that he passed keeps playing over and over in my mind. My husband of 50 years is gone and I don’t know how to go on without him. He was my life. I’m trying but it’s really hard.
Linda Ronstadt's range and the risks she took in music was so inspiring. Carly Simon's story-like songs were amazing too. These days I can't live without jazz music. Also, old movies are often mesmerizing in fashion and style and a great form of escape. These things evoke so much joy and nostalgia ❤️
Susan, I want to tell you that you are repaying to those wonderful female artists for the great support you gained from their art by being that same great support for us, your loyal viewers. You pay forward! Maybe you don't even realize how much of an impact you have in our lives. I love Tori Amos too. And I'm so very thankful to you, Susan, for your time here on RUclips. It's a wonderful, healing content.
Hi Susan and Desi. I truly enjoy you and Desi, the thrift shopping, poetry, and how you have decorated your space. It truly is lovely. Cozy, vintage, eclectic and I just love it. I love thrifting and vintage also. I fix myself a cup of camomile tea and watch you on Saturday nights. Such a joy!!! My cat Molly watches too. Many blessings to you and Desi.
What an amazing legacy you are leaving to your kids and grandkids via your videos Susan:)...they will get to know you as the awesome leader, poet, individual, artist, photographer, videographer, activist, thrifter, and musician, that you are, in addition to being their Mom, and/or grandmother, which is such a unique Blessing:)... I think that is beautiful:)... Loved this video:). Desi is such a joy:). My must haves are kindness, authenticity, faith, family, friends, Peace, and art:)... Tamatha:).🎀🙏🎀
Loved this video!!.. things I cant Live without, Diet Moutain Dew, Makeup, bubble bath, pretty clothes, lotions, perfumes, blonde hair color, music, St Tropica hair!!..I just wish you were my neighbor!!! Inwould so enjoy visiting you! Tfs Vitamins,
Susan, I just have to tell you that you are an amazing woman. I look forward to your podcasts on Fridays. I love how you weave your beauty among your ashes, sharing the good things and even some of the painful memories that you have experienced. I love how you share your poetry in with your beautiful treasures and your outdoor surroundings. I especially love that you revel in the age that you are and that you are every bit as beautiful as a 20 year old woman. Actually you are even more beautiful because you aren't twenty. And Desi, What a treasure he is, with his adorable expressions. Such a sweetie, you two are perfect together. You are both such a blessing. Thank you for sharing your life in this poetic way. You are a true artist. You are a living poem.
Oh my Susanna...you are a poet...a kind heart , a poet and full of such love. How did I get so lucky that you found me? You words dance and shine like and remind me why I love this life so much...you remind me of all things good, whole and important.
I love to hear women celebrating women 💗 I was a fan of Tori Amos back in the 90s when she first burst on the scene but I haven't kept up with her - I'll have to check her out again! Desi is the sweetest boy, and he's lucky to have you as his mama 🐕
Maybe its our age, but I cant live without music either ( it gets me through the hardest days and good days too) Stevie Nicks, Joni Michael, I relate to their music, and a few newer artists like Celine Dion. Too many to count. And I dont know how to live without my dog either. ..... I lost a lot in the past decade, so much so it nearly killed me. in-fact, Im just now beginning to recover. Ladies, if you have a small prayer Id appreciate one. ( love you Susan! )
I have a story tonight. It is about a special women in my life. Or she was. Today is 2 years since she was hit on her bike by a driver. She was one of my best friends for 52 years. Her husband told the women that he did not want any money from insurance. All he wanted was for her to write an article in the newspaper telling about driveing and not paying attention where you are going. so her daughter sent me the newspaper article today from this women. It was quite long and it had a picture of my friend Kay in the corner. I am not sure when I will come to terms with the loss. But the memories are to many to count. I think the friendship of women are very powerful. Never talk, never hug, again. thanks Joyce
I love the outdoors. Before anything happens in the morning, I go sit outside to bring the new day in. I always have my coffee out there. Life feels special there.
Desi is such a sweeetheart and a very handsome little fellow. He discovered love, when he met you. The two of you are a perfect match....How one chooses to start a day (emotionally), can surely make or break one`s day. Keep a smile on your face and love in your heart, because it may very well have a healing effect, on those you encounter throughout the day.... Love and Blessings to You and Desi.
Just got home from my daughters house and my beautiful granddaughters were there one picked me up and the other one brought me home! You and Desi found each other, what a blessing..God knows what He is doing..And I have my beautiful swan that came in mint condition I told you that I was going to win👏👏👏 love Mr. Desi, tell him Mr. Otis says hey💚💚💚have a blessed night so glad that this came on Otis and I are cuddling up to watch it❌⭕️❌⭕️🐶~ Massachusetts
Susan, you are a treasure. I can't count the number of times that you've lifted me up when I was feeling down. Love your fashion shows. You inspire so many women to live are best lives.
Susan, I have been a widow for 10 years and I live a very stressful life. Three things I cannot live without is my family, my home decor which brings me so much joy, and people like you. You give me something to look forward to on the weekends. I love your thrift store finds and your home decor. You make me laugh and you make me cry. I am forever grateful for being able to spend time with you. We love you and Desi! Hugs from Florida, Lisa.
So great to see you and precious Desi !!!!! Hope you had a lovely week! I am so happy you bought the cranberry vase. You bought it for both of us!! I collect cranberry glass and I thought it was beautiful!!!! Such a great tip for the kitchen pushups, I'm going to stay today! (and the coconut oil🙋) I look forward all week to your video! They always make me think and examine and make new resolutions and to make good changes to my life! Music, poetry and precious relationships and being by the water.......they really make my life special. Love to you and Desi 💝
@@gingershaffer2547 OH in one week now I meet a new dentist and a go to a new hair salon.....I am LIVING ON THE EDGE!!!! xxoo sending you lots of love Ginger!
Your little Desi is awesome!!!! Years ago I had a little White curly dog that I adopted and she loved everybody. One night I invited a man that I was semi dating to my apartment and my little white dog would not stop barking at him. She had never barked at anyone before. So I took that as a sign that he was not the one I should be hanging out with. I finally told him he would have to leave and then my little dog and I sat on the couch and laughed and I loved that little dog who showed me the right way to go!
I’m packing my boxes up after 18 years , my life in a box 📦 I feel a little like Desi .I’m moving into another box , no one , nothing but my pupstar.Let’s hope that little box will be my safe place till I am set free ❤️🙏
I love charity shops & finding some little treasure to take home ☺️ And music that you can sing your heart out to 😊 I have a little rescue dog, she’s such a sweetheart & I adore her. I found her not long after we had to have our first rescue put to sleep .. I was utterly heartbroken. So I think that not only did I rescue her .. but she rescued me right back ☺️🐾 Your videos are a delight Susan, thank you 💕
Hello thank you for another special video. I can’t live without My faith, my family, my dogs they bring so much joy! Music, books, travel,being in nature, deep conversations, understanding, calmness.
God bless you for rescuing Desi from the shelter.❤️ There is no need to apologize for showing us your emotions, we all have them and at times we cry too.
I love your personality! You are lovely. I am a gypsy but not a traveler as much anymore. I love backroads and music and my cat, George. I love a nice wine and it can be a cheap Chardonnay. I was married to the love of my life and it was not a picnic. I am alone now, but I have the best adult children. My life is good but not without its struggles. I am grateful for my faith, my health, and my life and good friends. I am Blessed beyond measure.
Lady, your arms are great and your neck is young and I just sit here being jealous. Come tomorrow me and the kitchen counter are going to have a little meeting.
Thanks! I look so forward to visiting with you and Desi . I just had knee surgery and am planted in my recliner. Thanks for sharing your week with us. Hugs to Desi ❤️🐾
OH gee Kathryn....you are so sweet! You don't have to give anything here...it's free...you are so thoughtful and I am so grateful you are here with all of us! we girls sure do have fun!!! xo Susan & Dez
The Little POET Society! Brand that! I’ll buy the first coffee cup and tote bag and book cover... and I’m certain there is a song to be written about our Society! You have helped me to have the courage to have a life, built out of my ashes. You gave me a choice I didn’t know I had! Thank you and God Bless you!
My little dog is a pound puppy who is full of anxiety. She won't let me out of her sight, I have to crate her to run errands, she hates riding in the car. She howls pitifully when I'm gone. She won't let anyone pet her but me. When I first brought her home, I wasn't sure I could keep her. My grandson who was twelve said, "No, Grandma, you are not giving this little dog up just because, no you can't." He was right. Its been three years now. I love her so!
I really look forward to “talking with you”. My ex-husband of 41 years and the father of my children just passed away and I caught myself thinking “I wish I could talk to Susan about my feelings”. On my way now to his memorial and to support my children. I’m sort of taking you with me. Can’t do without your words of support and wisdom.
You are a beautiful Light in this world! Your compassion and heart are such an inspiration! Loved the story about Desi! Remember, life is lived moving forward but we learn from hindsight! Namaste'!
Hello Susan and Desi, thank you once again for lifting my spirits. I can't live without my pets a little eleven year old dog on heart medication, a 13 year old cat with a sense of humour and a 18 year old cat that is very happy. I love nature and its my medicine. I will start reading poetry and hopefully it'll be a ray of sunshine. Thank you very much for adopting Desi. He's an angel. Your channel is exactly what I needed to encourage me through my solitary senior years.❤
I saw Ricky Lee Jones on "SNL" too! I was hooked! I got to see her in concert in Seattle in 1979. Listen to Night Train. You feel and her her soul in that song.
I laughed out load when you said that Desi peed on your ex boyfriends shoes when he shouted at you. I love that Desi taught him a lesson for shouting at you. Love your videos. I really enjoy you videos. Thank you for all your hard work.💝
As always thank you for your heartfelt video. I alway look forward to visiting with you. What I can’t live without- my girl Lily. She’s my fur baby and I just love her so much ❤all the best to you and until we meet again God bless you and keep you always ! 😘
Susan, when you said “I love you” too you’re Alexa, my Alexa that was sitting next to me started to play 🎶 the same song!!😂😂 it was so funny! I love watching your videos every weekend. Take care God bless❤️ Desi
Fabulous seeing you and Desi! Again, you are influencing me the way I dress and a have a few similar items. You encourage me dress pretty and not frumpy. You looked fabulous in all the outfits last weeks. Hope your week is full of lots of love and fun! Give Desi a snuggle for me. ❤️
I truly enjoyed your video tonight. You’ve got quite a rockstar in Desi. I just love seeing him each week. He is absolutely precious. Thank you for always bringing so much joy and light each week.😘🙏🏻💫
Thank you Susan. I can’t live without my daughter; she’s the love of my heart. I can’t live without make up and hairspray. We all feel better when we look better. My years of being able to not wear makeup are over, but it’s ok.
The things that I can't live without, are -- like you -- poetry, and also classical music. And, beautiful things -- vases, sculpture, art, décor -- things that bring serenity into my space. You're right -- there are so many brave and powerful women that we can look up to for inspiration. I appreciate you and Desi very much. Even though I only see you on videos, you're like the older sister I never had. Thank you for all that you do!
Hello beautiful friend!! 💗 I love watching you in the thrift store and hearing about your finds! I am going to start the Susie Q push-ups!!! 🤩 Both you n Desi are so blessed to have each other. I have my cat Dexter, who is as sweet as can be and was so scared as a kitten. He is one now and doing much better, with lots of love and patience 😻 I could not live without music!! 😘😘 Would have loved to hear about your special weekend....maybe next time...take good care!! 😊🤩🌞
Hello and good morning. I can't live without my son, my friends, my town, my clothes, cleaning, decorating,Journaling, words and phrases that help me, help and advice from professionals, sunshine, love, respect, gratitude, wonder, worry, and life. I also can't live without looking forward to Sunday morning and watching your video either!
I love the music of Eva Cassidy and Joan Osborne…soulful, sultry and stupendous! Maybe not we’ll known but true tonal quality resounding with every note in every song. I love Jesus and cannot live without His peace. My husband, daughter and grandson are treasures. And dabbling in my art bring me joy. Only seven things but power packed none the less.
Your story about Desi peeing in that mans shoe made me laugh. My little rescue dog Romeo would do the same thing..he's something I could never live without but I know that one day I will have to.
That brings me to saying something to The Little Poet community that I hope doesn't bring everyone down.. On New Years Eve I wrote a comment saying how I was on night shift looking after a lovely 95 year old gentlemen with dementia and how we had sung together and how bittersweet it was. I received many replies to my comment. But tonight I am on night shift here in England sitting by David's bedside as he lay waiting to pass away.He suddenly became unwell last week and unfortunately will not recover. He hasn't eaten or drunk in 11 days and is in a semi coma. I am sitting with him to hopefully give him comfort and to watch for any change in his breathing. Unless the inevitable happens I will be here until the daytime carer takes over at 6.30am.

How poignant to think I will surely never see him again as my next shift isn't until Wednesday night and God willing his suffering will have finished by then.
Oh dear! yes..I remember your comment and I remember your words and how I cried...I am praying tonight...you are an angel to David and an Agnel to everyone here that you touch...some things are meant to be...you are so very special
There’s a special place in heaven for people like you 😍
What a blessing for both of you....not everyone can do that...Goddess bless you...
This is beautiful what a lovely soul you are!
♥️😢
I watch your videos over and over..I'm a 1955 girl too... I thought I was waiting to die. I feel so much more alive from watching you...Thank You 💜
I loved this video! I can't live without a dog, coffee, sunshine, candles, flowers and laughter!
Absolutely me to!❤
I can not live without coffee, TV , music. I miss my baby puppy boy every day . He was a Yorkie. He lived 12 1/2 years. I cannot live without seeing my grandson. Hey Desi. I enjoy seeing you.
I just saw this quote that reminds me of you. Life is like a camera. Just focus on what’s important, capture the good times. Develop from the negative and if things don’t work out just take another shot. Susan, you are a awesome lady.😘
I love that quote Dori!!!
Desi has a great Mama and is dearly loved. If only all dogs were loved like that.
What comfort and beauty you bring to those of us of a certain age! Love your videos, they are works of art.
That's the perfect description of her videos: "works of art". I agree.
AMen!!!!
They truly are!
I also cannot live without music. When I was 14, I discovered the Carpenters. Karen's music about love lost and love gained. But, the most important thing I cannot live without is the Lord's grace and mercy. P.S. Desi is a keeper.
100% in agreement with you Lynn. All the way from Karen Carpenter to the Lord's grace!
Love Karen Carpenter..her voice is smooth as velvet..
My one and only Karen Carpenter❤️
I have had a passion for music since I was about10 and at 71 it still brings me so much joy😊❤️🎶🎼. My son is a DJ-how cool is that??!!😊

This is so very hard to write.
I rescued a little dog, Teddybear, when we were going through a terrible time. I feel that God sent him to me when I needed a friend in my life. He was so precious and my constant companion and dearest friend. He was my 8 lb. “Body dog”. He thought he was a “Rottweiler “ and would try to protect me from anyone and anything that he thought might hurt me. At first he didn’t like my husband and the feeling was mutual. He would bark when anyone came into the room where I was and was suspicious of all men. Over time he and my husband became friends though. ❤

By this time my husband must have known that he was getting worse and was worried about my being alone because he bought a little puppy , another Papillon, for me. We named him “Bandit” because he has a mask on his face and Bandit quickly found his way into our family and into our hearts. My husband loved him so much.
Time passed and my husband would have moments when he didn’t know who I was and wondered what I had done to his wife. Haha oh well.
He had so much pain, his back, his neck and was having problems with walking. My heart breaks just thinking about it. Still, he was trying his best and I have to say that he was happy as was I and we were doing fine. Just living day to day and dealing with the problems of the disease as best as we could.
One day he said that he thought we needed to get a kitten and we started looking. We had always had “Maine Coons”. A few months later he bought two and we brought them home. They were so much fun and brought so much joy to us during our very sad lives. Now, they, Lexi and Cali are over a year old and Bandit is three. We were a happy family!
My husband had his stroke on Easter Sunday when we were getting ready to go to church. Covid had happened and we had been mostly staying at home because of our ages, we were both 73 years old, and were afraid of catching the disease.
After a long stay at the hospital, we were able to bring him home. He had 24 hour care with a feeding tube. He couldn’t swallow and was confined to a hospital bed. We tried, he tried so hard to get better but the disease wouldn’t allow him. He was home for three months. The night that he passed keeps playing over and over in my mind.
My husband of 50 years is gone and I don’t know how to go on without him. He was my life.
I’m trying but it’s really hard.
@@nancyparker2516 I'm so very sorry for your loss. You'll get through it, at your own pace. Just know we're all pulling for you.❣
Linda Ronstadt's range and the risks she took in music was so inspiring. Carly Simon's story-like songs were amazing too. These days I can't live without jazz music. Also, old movies are often mesmerizing in fashion and style and a great form of escape. These things evoke so much joy and nostalgia ❤️
Susan, I want to tell you that you are repaying to those wonderful female artists for the great support you gained from their art by being that same great support for us, your loyal viewers. You pay forward! Maybe you don't even realize how much of an impact you have in our lives. I love Tori Amos too. And I'm so very thankful to you, Susan, for your time here on RUclips. It's a wonderful, healing content.
Hi Susan and Desi.
I truly enjoy you and Desi, the thrift shopping, poetry, and how you have decorated your space.
It truly is lovely. Cozy, vintage, eclectic and
I just love it. I love thrifting and vintage also. I fix myself a cup of camomile tea and watch you on Saturday nights. Such a joy!!!
My cat Molly watches too. Many blessings to you and Desi.

I’m so glad I found your channel! Desi is the most adorable little guy!❤
Susan, I just have to tell you that you are an amazing woman. I look forward to your podcasts on Fridays. I love how you weave your beauty among your ashes, sharing the good things and even some of the painful memories that you have experienced. I love how you share your poetry in with your beautiful treasures and your outdoor surroundings. I especially love that you revel in the age that you are and that you are every bit as beautiful as a 20 year old woman. Actually you are even more beautiful because you aren't twenty.
And Desi, What a treasure he is, with his adorable expressions. Such a sweetie, you two are perfect together. You are both such a blessing. Thank you for sharing your life in this poetic way. You are a true artist. You are a living poem.
Oh my Susanna...you are a poet...a kind heart , a poet and full of such love. How did I get so lucky that you found me? You words dance and shine like and remind me why I love this life so much...you remind me of all things good, whole and important.
I love to hear women celebrating women 💗 I was a fan of Tori Amos back in the 90s when she first burst on the scene but I haven't kept up with her - I'll have to check her out again!
Desi is the sweetest boy, and he's lucky to have you as his mama 🐕
Maybe its our age, but I cant live without music either ( it gets me through the hardest days and good days too) Stevie Nicks, Joni Michael, I relate to their music, and a few newer artists like Celine Dion. Too many to count. And I dont know how to live without my dog either. ..... I lost a lot in the past decade, so much so it nearly killed me. in-fact, Im just now beginning to recover. Ladies, if you have a small prayer Id appreciate one. ( love you Susan! )
I love the comments of everyone in this group!!! You are live madame!!!
I have a story tonight. It is about a special women in my life. Or she was. Today is 2 years since she was hit on her bike by a driver. She was one of my best friends for 52 years. Her husband told the women that he did not want any money from insurance. All he wanted was for her to write an article in the newspaper telling about driveing and not paying attention where you are going. so her daughter sent me the newspaper article today from this women. It was quite long and it had a picture of my friend Kay in the corner. I am not sure when I will come to terms with the loss. But the memories are to many to count. I think the friendship of women are very powerful. Never talk, never hug, again. thanks Joyce
Joyce, I'm so sorry for the tragic loss of your good friend Kay. Prayers for you and her family.
I'm so sorry for the loss of your friend.
I love that little Desi! He is perfect. Thanks Susan. This was a really good vlog today.
I'll start doing those pushups Susan, I am so self conscious of my arms, I'm thin but my arms are wrinkly.
I love the outdoors. Before anything happens in the morning, I go sit outside to bring the new day in. I always have my coffee out there. Life feels special there.
Desi is such a sweeetheart and a very handsome little fellow. He discovered love, when he met you. The two of you are a perfect match....How one chooses to start a day (emotionally), can surely make or break one`s day. Keep a smile on your face and love in your heart, because it may very well have a healing effect, on those you encounter throughout the day.... Love and Blessings to You and Desi.
Oh Thank you, Susan. Each week you inspire us! oxox to Desi
Love Desi so much..his eyes are so soulful and your videos. Always leave me feeling peaceful..thank you Susan
I'm so glad!
Where the wind takes me that’s what I did today… It took me to some fantastic moments..
Stevie Nicks, poetry, coffee....cannot live without. Scripture, movement, alone time, baths.
Just got home from my daughters house and my beautiful granddaughters were there one picked me up and the other one brought me home! You and Desi found each other, what a blessing..God knows what He is doing..And I have my beautiful swan that came in mint condition I told you that I was going to win👏👏👏 love Mr. Desi, tell him Mr. Otis says hey💚💚💚have a blessed night so glad that this came on Otis and I are cuddling up to watch it❌⭕️❌⭕️🐶~ Massachusetts
Susan, you are a treasure. I can't count the number of times that you've lifted me up when I was feeling down. Love your fashion shows. You inspire so many women to live are best lives.
Susan, I have been a widow for 10 years and I live a very stressful life. Three things I cannot live without is my family, my home decor which brings me so much joy, and people like you. You give me something to look forward to on the weekends. I love your thrift store finds and your home decor. You make me laugh and you make me cry. I am forever grateful for being able to spend time with you. We love you and Desi! Hugs from Florida, Lisa.
Thank you Lisa so muchf or taking the time to share with me your life and give me such a boost!! I would love to see your home decor!!!

@@LittlePoet Can't wait to hear all about it and see that gorgeous new look! Sending love to you! hug Dez for me and tell him Aunt Ginger loves him!
Your little Desi is awesome!!!! Years ago I had a little White curly dog that I adopted and she loved everybody. One night I invited a man that I was semi dating to my apartment and my little white dog would not stop barking at him. She had never barked at anyone before. So I took that as a sign that he was not the one I should be hanging out with. I finally told him he would have to leave and then my little dog and I sat on the couch and laughed and I loved that little dog who showed me the right way to go!
Yes,the dog it,s adorable
I’m packing my boxes up after 18 years , my life in a box 📦 I feel a little like Desi .I’m moving into another box , no one , nothing but my pupstar.Let’s hope that little box will be my safe place till I am set free ❤️🙏
I love charity shops & finding some little treasure to take home ☺️ And music that you can sing your heart out to 😊 I have a little rescue dog, she’s such a sweetheart & I adore her. I found her not long after we had to have our first rescue put to sleep .. I was utterly heartbroken. So I think that not only did I rescue her .. but she rescued me right back ☺️🐾 Your videos are a delight Susan, thank you 💕
Hello thank you for another special video. I can’t live without My faith, my family, my dogs they bring so much joy! Music, books, travel,being in nature, deep conversations, understanding, calmness.
Hi
It's a pleasure listening to you.thank you for being you.
❤
God bless you for rescuing Desi from the shelter.❤️ There is no need to apologize for showing us your emotions, we all have them and at times we cry too.
I love your personality! You are lovely.
I am a gypsy but not a traveler as much anymore. I love backroads and music and my cat, George. I love a nice wine and it can be a cheap Chardonnay. I was married to the love of my life and it was not a picnic.
I am alone now, but I have the best adult children. My life is good but not without its struggles. I am grateful for my faith, my health, and my life and good friends. I am Blessed beyond measure.
Lady, your arms are great and your neck is young and I just sit here being jealous. Come tomorrow me and the kitchen counter are going to have a little meeting.
I loved this so much that I took notes 🥰
I know I’ve said this over and over, but you always teach me something new. Thank you!
I have so many notes from Susan’s visits!
OMG! You are so sweet!!!! I take notes when you gals share your life!!! It's a good thing to be able to talk with women who understand...
Another video filled with beauty and grace. I love Desi even more after that story👏❤️
Thanks! I look so forward to visiting with you and Desi . I just had knee surgery and am planted in my recliner. Thanks for sharing your week with us. Hugs to Desi ❤️🐾
OH gee Kathryn....you are so sweet! You don't have to give anything here...it's free...you are so thoughtful and I am so grateful you are here with all of us! we girls sure do have fun!!! xo Susan & Dez
Love your Saturday uploads little Poet ❤️👋
Oh yeah , beautiful memories......I could never live without.
The Little POET Society! Brand that! I’ll buy the first coffee cup and tote bag and book cover... and I’m certain there is a song to be written about our Society! You have helped me to have the courage to have a life, built out of my ashes. You gave me a choice I didn’t know I had! Thank you and God Bless you!
I just love your little dog Desi. He is so precious and I'm so happy that he's with you.
My little dog is a pound puppy who is full of anxiety. She won't let me out of her sight, I have to crate her to run errands, she hates riding in the car. She howls pitifully when I'm gone. She won't let anyone pet her but me. When I first brought her home, I wasn't sure I could keep her. My grandson who was twelve said, "No, Grandma, you are not giving this little dog up just because, no you can't." He was right. Its been three years now. I love her so!
I so look forward to your messages every weekend. You inspire me to do better. Have a great week 💕
Can't wait for your videos from Missouri
I really look forward to “talking with you”. My ex-husband of 41 years and the father of my children just passed away and I caught myself thinking “I wish I could talk to Susan about my feelings”. On my way now to his memorial and to support my children. I’m sort of taking you with me. Can’t do without your words of support and wisdom.
💜
You are a beautiful Light in this world! Your compassion and heart are such an inspiration! Loved the story about Desi! Remember, life is lived moving forward but we learn from hindsight! Namaste'!
Hello Susan and Desi, thank you once again for lifting my spirits.
I can't live without my pets a little eleven year old dog on heart medication, a 13 year old cat with a sense of humour and a 18 year old cat that is very happy. I love nature and its my medicine.
I will start reading poetry and hopefully it'll be a ray of sunshine.
Thank you very much for adopting Desi. He's an angel.
Your channel is exactly what I needed to encourage me through my solitary senior years.❤
My Home, My Dogs, My Garden, Chocolate, Tea, Music, Plants, TV, Countryside Walking, Latte’s, Laughing, 😍 xx
I can not live without my rescue dog Bunkey, and I can't imagine life without him.
I get bad anxiety thinking about it.
Love you both ♥️🌹🕊️♥️
I saw Ricky Lee Jones on "SNL" too! I was hooked! I got to see her in concert in Seattle in 1979. Listen to Night Train. You feel and her her soul in that song.
Hello! Great chat! I agree with you on your list too! I hope you have a beautiful and creative week ahead! Thank you for posting this video.
Greetings Susan! This was a truly great video. Thank you so much for sharing your heart with us. Love and blessings ♥️🙏
I laughed out load when you said that Desi peed on your ex boyfriends shoes when he shouted at you. I love that Desi taught him a lesson for shouting at you. Love your videos. I really enjoy you videos. Thank you for all your hard work.💝
As always thank you for your heartfelt video. I alway look forward to visiting with you. What I can’t live without- my girl Lily. She’s my fur baby and I just love her so much ❤all the best to you and until we meet again God bless you and keep you always ! 😘

Mine too!! So funny!!
Hey Susan! You are a true gem! Loved this video! I have to have my coffee first thing every morning, too! Hugs to Desi! 💕
Fabulous seeing you and Desi! Again, you are influencing me the way I dress and a have a few similar items. You encourage me dress pretty and not frumpy. You looked fabulous in all the outfits last weeks. Hope your week is full of lots of love and fun! Give Desi a snuggle for me. ❤️
I truly enjoyed your video tonight. You’ve got quite a rockstar in Desi. I just love seeing him each week. He is absolutely precious. Thank you for always bringing so much joy and light each week.😘🙏🏻💫
Family/kids /gkids...all my rescue babies....music. freedom. Besties....Beasties..... u ROCK SUSAN/DESSIE
Thank you Susan. I can’t live without my daughter; she’s the love of my heart. I can’t live without make up and hairspray. We all feel better when we look better. My years of being able to not wear makeup are over, but it’s ok.
I can’t live without my daughter too. Every woman deserves a daughter. Her twin brother is special too but nothing compares to a daughter. 💜
Your so beautiful I also use coconut cream for face
God bless coffee yes 🙏
Yes wow do the same your arms are fine but I understand I'm the same way
O I love thrift stores
Susan, your honesty is pure poetry. Also you saved Desi and Desi saved you. Perfection.❤️
Just great and uplifting to watch . What a nice Lady you are.
I couldnt live without my faith. i love your Desi.. he is such a handsome gentleman.
The things that I can't live without, are -- like you -- poetry, and also classical music. And, beautiful things -- vases, sculpture, art, décor -- things that bring serenity into my space.
You're right -- there are so many brave and powerful women that we can look up to for inspiration.
I appreciate you and Desi very much. Even though I only see you on videos, you're like the older sister I never had.
Thank you for all that you do!
I love to see You and Desi. There is something about you that is soothing to my soul. Thank you for bringing us your beautiful videos.
Hello beautiful friend!! 💗 I love watching you in the thrift store and hearing about your finds! I am going to start the Susie Q push-ups!!! 🤩 Both you n Desi are so blessed to have each other. I have my cat Dexter, who is as sweet as can be and was so scared as a kitten. He is one now and doing much better, with lots of love and patience 😻 I could not live without music!! 😘😘 Would have loved to hear about your special weekend....maybe next time...take good care!! 😊🤩🌞
Susan, I would have bought those beautiful little paintings too!
I simply love you, you are my Sunday friend forever.🤗🙏
Alright Julie, my Sunday friend!!!
I can't go without seeing Desi!!! ♡♡
Hello and good morning. I can't live without my son, my friends, my town, my clothes, cleaning, decorating,Journaling, words and phrases that help me, help and advice from professionals, sunshine, love, respect, gratitude, wonder, worry, and life.
I also can't live without looking forward to Sunday morning and watching your video either!
Definitely can’t live without my best friend and my pets. Love good music, spending time with my kids and helping others. Oh and good food!! LOL!
I love the music of Eva Cassidy and Joan Osborne…soulful, sultry and stupendous! Maybe not we’ll known but true tonal quality resounding with every note in every song. I love Jesus and cannot live without His peace. My husband, daughter and grandson are treasures. And dabbling in my art bring me joy. Only seven things but power packed none the less.
You make life look so delicious. I love you and your beautiful videos, Susan. Thank you. They are my oasis.
I can’t live without Susan and Desi! Such an informative and uplifting channel, from Beautiful Beings! 💖🌷🥰
It’s amazing how you always find room in your apartment for all your fabulous finds!
