I have been meaning to go through my clothing and donate it to a shelter. I have so much book clutter too - I really just need my Bible and such. It would make me happier to go to the library and support the community. Thank you for this. God knew I needed a video like this! I enjoy your content so much. God bless. 💗 Ps. Grateful for my family and God; finding community. Gaining my footing in my health. None of which are material! 🙏🏻
@@sleepyeepy It is so freeing! Sucks to actually do it in the moment because it can be a lot of work to go through anything but it will give you such a peace of mind! I hear you on the books! I have SO MANY books, but have recently been using my kindle way more and it’s helped a lot! thank you so much! great list!!
I think this is funny because when I was part of a Halloween group, I would try to get the cute stuff they were sharing. But that was also when I was working full time. Now, I'm much more careful with what I get. Im basically a stay at home mom most of the time and I really try to limit my spending to what I really like that will bring me joy long term. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy decorating and enjoy looking at what I created. But im more careful, especially since we need to watch our finances, especially with food prices so high.
I love the reference to Confessions of a Shopaholic! I loved the book and I loved the movie! Great video! What makes me happy: Jesus, my fiance (soon to be husband on 01/18/2025), my work, my schooling, my family, my cat!
I've never read the book, but I watched the movie and loved it! Thanks so much for watching! Congrats on your engagement! Weddings are so exciting (but the planning is stressful!). Your list is so good! 💛
I get more confused between physical or digital it’s like living in a different lifestyle for me cd 💿 is my lifestyle because Tangible assets: Owning a physical copy of your favorite album isn't just about the music. It's about holding a piece of art in your hands. There's a special sense of ownership that comes with a physical copy that digital music just can't replicate. Physical sales still matter: Despite the rise of streaming services, physical sales still contribute to chart positions. This is especially true in certain genres and demographics where physical sales remain strong. If you're an artist looking to chart, don't dismiss physical distribution just yet!

This is especially true in certain genres and demographics where physical sales remain strong. If you're an artist looking to chart, don't dismiss physical distribution just yet! Those are the pro of physical here’s the con. Costs: Physical music distribution can be expensive. From production to storage and shipping, the costs can add up quickly. This is a significant disadvantage, especially for independent artists on a tight budget. Availability: Not all music is available in physical format. Some artists release their music exclusively on digital platforms, meaning you might miss out if you rely solely on physical music distribution. Here’s pro for digital. Space-saving: Unlike physical music, digital files don't occupy physical space. This means you can store thousands of songs on a device without worrying about clutter. And let's be honest, who doesn't love a tidy music collection? Instant access: Want to listen to the latest album by your favorite artist? With digital music distribution, you don't have to wait for the CD to arrive. Just download or stream it, and voila! Instant musical gratification. But here’s the con of digital. Lack of Tangibility: With digital music, there's no physical product to hold or display. For many music lovers, the tactile experience of flipping through vinyl records or unboxing a new CD is part of the joy. Dependency on Technology: To enjoy digital music, you need devices and an internet connection. What happens if your device breaks down or you lose connectivity? Suddenly, your entire music library is inaccessible.
@@susannahfriesenofficial one time during a hurricane Irma lost all of my music because I was buying jackson 5 skywriter and all of my songs were missing they were gone because I care about was the tangible product because I want to hold it in my hand and it will last forever ♾.
It’s nice if you also say in your videos this is the majority of North America living style, coming from someone who lived 20 years in South America, life is not like this. Can you imagine someone living in Africa, or the Middle East watching your videos? Just a suggestion, our life in Canada is not the same nor should the videos talk in general!
I'm confused because I'm not talking about a certain living style. I'm talking about why buying more, or people who think that purchasing more items will make them happy. This applies to everyone who has a currency in which they purchase goods with.
Thank you Susannah for this video ❤, who was important to my Heart to hear ✨ ! I was exactly like you spending so much my money on tiny things who take more space, dust and who not always brings satisfaction and gratitude. So, I try now to constantly think what I really need and what to keep in my collections (CD, DVD, Video-Games and Littlest Pet Shop figurines). You have really right about giving stuff to others, it's a very great satisfaction that brings more joy to keep ourself these tiny stuff. One of my friends could testify about it. And, what I love to do too is sell things who could be selled, it's not always works how we want, but it still a good option to gain more money. To finish, thank you again for your videos 💕, they are great to listen ⚡ and they keep me praticing about my English pratice. I'm French with Latvian-Russian origins, who always loved English and who grew up with many English songs. And too, I love French and Russian languages of course, they are very beautiful as English and Latvian too ! Please pray for me that my soul will be near to God, Jesus and the Saints. It's hard for my mind to retry to pray to Jesus. In church, I always pray to Jesus, but in home when it's without my family, it's difficult for me to pray when I am alone and when I am distracted by stuff who surround us. Thank you in advance for your prayers ❤✨, God, Jesus and the Saints are very amazing friends, but the intelligent devil always try to keep us away from them. It's a hard fighting, but nothing is impossible in God, Jesus and the Saints graces.
I think that we should be doing our best to not sway our brothers in Christ. A lot of people may disagree, however as someone who used to dress immodestly as a Christian, I can say that there is literally no reason to do so.
This is a reason why some believers, babes in Christ, experience a season of lack, the temptation to feel secure in the world or Satan will lead to eventual ignorance (2 Corinthians 4:4) and later destruction (Proverbs 18:11, Proverbs 17:19b) and God, who owns all the wealth (Haggai 2:8), is a good Father and won't give us things that will destroy us-He will never enable us (Jeremiah 29:11, Luke 12:32).
Thank you so much for being here! Question for you: What makes YOU happy?
Let me know!👇
Someone said that what makes a person happy are 3 things:
- something to do
- someone to love
- something to look forward to
I love that!!
Enjoying family time 😊
@ amazing!!
Time with my husband and our paw baby 🐾
over a month ago I had this thought that all our stuff is going to burn and we won't take any of it with us when we die
Your comment reminds me the song "Green Heart" by the Christian Rock band Flyleaf, I recommend you to give it a listen !
This is why I'm on a no buy, don't want any Christmas presents, and am happily using what I already have.

Buying less. Travel more.
Challenge yourself.
Find friends offline.
Subbed for Normalcy! Love these kinds of videos. It's a really nice reminder in a world that dictates what one should and shouldn't do.
Thank you!!
I LOVE this video, I needed to hear that. Beautiful words

I totally get what you're saying! However my video is saying that long-lasting happiness isn't bought.
@@susannahfriesenofficial I care about is the tangible product in order to survive. I understand.
@@susannahfriesenofficial and digital con is tangible product you have to buy a cd 💿 on discogs haha 😂.
@@susannahfriesenofficial and there are independent cd 💿 out there Susannah be careful what you say.
@@susannahfriesenofficial one time during a hurricane Irma lost all of my music because I was buying jackson 5 skywriter and all of my songs were missing they were gone because I care about was the tangible product because I want to hold it in my hand and it will last forever ♾.
Amen to this video! 100 percent true! ✝️❤️🙏🏻❤️✝️
I feel called out 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
haha I apologize🤣
@@susannahfriesenofficial Oh god no! I'm glad I watched the video and should watch it again because some things were spot on!

You're welcome 😊 !

1:36 (i recognise that from the music video of deeper waters..)
Agree to disagree with you.
Don’t declutter the dog :)
That was my first reaction to the hair on the flat surface
What makes me happy? My huge, shedding dogs :)
oh I would never! I just don’t like how much she’s shedding right now 😂
@ They are worth every hair :)
hello susannah, offtopic question - what are your thoughts about other famous Christian influencers who dress unmodestly? i think u know what i mean.
I think that we should be doing our best to not sway our brothers in Christ. A lot of people may disagree, however as someone who used to dress immodestly as a Christian, I can say that there is literally no reason to do so.
This is a reason why some believers, babes in Christ, experience a season of lack, the temptation to feel secure in the world or Satan will lead to eventual ignorance (2 Corinthians 4:4) and later destruction (Proverbs 18:11, Proverbs 17:19b) and God, who owns all the wealth (Haggai 2:8), is a good Father and won't give us things that will destroy us-He will never enable us (Jeremiah 29:11, Luke 12:32).
Ew.
if u read my comment its a sign for you to do a 1 month social media detox
highly recommend
I don't believe a WORD of it.
@@latroletteeeee a word of what? What I’m saying? If so, i’m sorry you don’t believe it!
I need more of these videos from you 🤍 I love how you bring Jesus into this
I try!
