Love this message. My mother is 93 yrs young this women is amazing she is a two time cancer survivor and that’s because of her positive attitude. She does her own cooking, housework, and laundry. She walks every day she has a walker because she fell a few years ago but that for not stop her she walks even in the snow. She puts makeup on everyday takes care of her face and body. She inspires me tremendously. So a positive attitude will help you get thru anything. Thank you for sharing! 😊❤
Very nice message. Sense of purpose is very important. I retired from being a Physician Assistant and at age 65 decided to go back to school and get my doctorate in clinical psychology. I became extremely interested in working with the military. So at age 68 I graduated Summa Cum Laude and found a job right away working with the military. My boss is 90 years old extremely busy man with his psychology practice and he tells me he plans to continue until he's 100 years old LOL. Just recently was talking to a client who is separating from the military and his dream is to be a doctor. I told him my story and he thought LOL LOL I was 50 years old. No, I am 70 now so he found it very inspiring for him to go back to school and pursue his dream. So we can be an inspiration to others. Guess what I also have an esthetician license and love make up, skin care, and last year decided to go gray. I went through a complicated surgery I did well, but like you, decided I'm done with coloring and high lights and I feel free.
You are AWESOME Marlene!!!!! I'e been a clinical psychologist working with kids and adolescents since 1997 and I think it is the best career ever! When helping others I never have to worry about having meaning and purpose in my life!
Wow thank you so much for sharing these tips and your thoughts. I’ve recently retired after working in the accounting field where the environment was professional dress, so lots of suits, stockings and pumps. I used to get my hair dyed every month and styled my hair daily for work. I’ve always worn makeup. I now watch my 2 year old granddaughter 4 times a week and wear jeans and T-shirts or casual tops but I still wear makeup, style my hair and wear jewelry. I take my granddaughter for a daily 2-3 mile walk every morning. People ask me why I still wear makeup or style my hair just to go for a walk. I do that for me. I feel better about myself. I feel that if I look better I actually feel better. I also take pride in my home. I always make my bed, I daily straighten up around my house, wash dishes after eating, eat a hearty breakfast, read my bible and I love to cook so I’m constantly trying out new recipes. I always look forward to Monday and Friday for your videos. You are very uplifting. I’ve purchased many of the drugstore products you have suggested and am grateful for those little things that help me look my best. God bless you for your transparency and sincere attitude. You are beautiful inside and out.
Excellent, Nikol! Thank you! I am re-making myself at age 66. I look and feel better now than I did when I was 50 and definitely love myself a lot more. Your makeup tutorials are helping quite a bit with the physical side of my PTSD recovery! I'm lucky to have had a mother who approached aging the same way you do. She had always wanted to play the violin, so she started taking lessons at age 50. Within 10 years, she was playing in the local symphony and at bluegrass festivals!. At 65 she also took up BAGPIPES!!! Now she's 96 and still gets upset if she can't get her hair done. No dementia or other mental problems. And get this--she has been physically handicapped her entire life but never let it get her down. Her attitude is always positive, like yours. Keep up the good work!
I love this Jane. Your mother sounds like a hoot! I'm slowly remaking myself at age 63. I'm learning to speak German and I just started taking clarinet lessons from my oldest son!
🥲 tears. Thank you. This year I retired from weekly preaching (as a pastor) and turned 70. It has been three months of feeling purposeless, which surprised me. Speaking with wise friends, rather than hiding out, has helped greatly. I always counseled with others, now I needed it. Your video here helped greatly. Bless you.
I believe these kinds of "tutorials " are just as, if not more, important as makeup tutorials, to me at 60 years old Thank you for you! By the way, LOVING your eye makeup today! Lip color is perfection too!
From one silver lady to another, great message and God bless! I’m 50 and decided true beauty comes from my Lord Jesus and from the inside out. Thanks for the pick me up today. I needed that!💕
Absolutely loved your message on this video -- more than just "beauty," but having a beautiful life. I found it very helpful and watched is several times. Thank you!
Hello Nikol, you are a very beautiful lady. Nikol I am 74 years old, and for myself I wear makeup every day even if I not going anywhere, by doing my makeup every day makes me good and beautiful, and not feeling old. I feel like 50 years old . But My bones may not feel it. Lol but my soul feels young. Thank you,
Good morning Nikol! Thank you for this video. I cried. I don’t have children either. I, too, believe God has His reasons. May God continue to bless you! 💕
Hello Ms. Nikol, I wanted to let you know how much you have impacted my life since I retired a year ago. I retired early by the grace of God but was struggling with my new life. I thoroughly enjoy your makeup tips and suggestions which I have followed and have seen a positive change in my skin. But what has really impacted me has been your transparency and your words of encouragement. When I find myself struggling a little bit I look to God first and then I start listening to your videos. What a blessing you have been in my life. May God richly bless you for all you do.
I was watching a person on YT in the beauty community talk about how depressed they were that they were getting older, 40...it's not old! She is already planning plastic surgery. My heart just sunk to my ankles because the true beauty is not on the outside. I have almost 25 years on her and I love my age! I love my wrinkles! I love my gray hair! I find the mindset of feeling like having to get plastic surgery a byproduct of something that's missing inside. She is beautiful the way she is.
Nikol you are absolutely right! It’s all about attitude! I’m saving your message and showing it to my 81 year old mom. I hope she really listens! Thank you again for bringing out the best in us! What a blessing you are!
Thank you, Nikol for this wonderful video - learning to embrace many of the important aspects of aging you described has been sometimes hard - but when I do acceptance of who I still am and what I can still do reminds me how fortunate I am - and yes, gratitude, for me, changes everything. And yes, competitive dancing makes me so happy too - began at 56 and now 74.
Nicole , thank you for this beautiful message. It really hit home for me. I am 65 and in February of 2020 I retired. During the pandemic, my marriage of 38 years ended. I moved from my home of 30 years and for the first time in my life, I’m on my own. Both children are married with their own lives. After the dust settled I kept looking back and thinking of my mistakes. But nothing is a mistake. If anything, a lesson. I started my own consulting business and now work according to my schedule. I go to Pilates and joined silver sneakers. I’m busier than ever volunteering with the American Legion. You are 100% correct. It’s never too late! 🤗
I, too, experienced the IVF roller coaster. One of the most harrowing times of my life, sadly I wasn’t successful in that I bore no children. I learned a lot about myself because I found IVF makes you selfish. It’s all about me. What injection to take when and how much and on and on. I discovered I didn’t like that at all. After the intensity of that cycle, I felt let down mostly and empty. There was no emphasis on mental health only the physical aspects. Like you, it made me stronger and with the wonderful support system that is my husband, I climbed out of that hole. Now that I’m 66, my life is full and while I don’t regret not having children, there are moments of “what if?”. There is a reason for everything and I’m simply grateful to feel grateful!
Nikol: Spot on. Beauty comes from within. The light shines through us, from our heart and soul inside, to the countenance outside. I LOVE THIS TODAY. ❤️ We can improve ourselves each day, with intention, in small steps. The morning routine of self care is paramount. Self love. Gratitude. Intention. Health is a state of mind. It takes commitment. Love yourself TODAY, fully, as you are! Do something every day to improve your health. Baby steps. SELF LOVE IS SELF CARE. Food is the ultimate pharmacy. Eat, pure, healthy foods without additives. The body is a temple.
Thank you for being a careing woman,,especially including older women over 70,80,90 and beyond. America is obsessed with youth,,reality is,,,,if your blessed you will get old,but as our friend Nicole showed just how beautiful older women can be.....
Besides the wonderful & uplifting messages you impart, over time, you are consistent in these messages. You are honest and genuine and having watched your videos, always delivering the same messages which is great. This one in particular applies to all people, young or older because it is really a 'way of life' that you are describing. I was fortunate that at 22 I met a group of people who were in their late 70's and they were unbelievable. Even at their age they were busy with their projects, writing, starting small businesses, working in their communities and just active, alive & living lives of purpose. We all have the ability to choose how we approach each day, and this was an excellent reminder of that. Thank you for your message, it's a great way to start the week. : )
this was lovely and needed, I'm still relatively young but am looking at having an empty nest in the not too distant future. At this point you realize that "mom" can't be the only identity or it will be disastrous when the kids all move out . I've started a business thats very rewarding and gives me a reason to get up and get ready for the day. I love the other suggestions you have presented. IVF is brutal walked through that with my twin. Thanks for being you, you're amazing !
I don't usually comment on videos, but I feel compelled to. There is no one on social media who tackles issues of ageing, both large and small, as consistently and beautifully as you do. As they say, ageing is not for sissies, but it's all about mindset. I love the fact that you approach everything with love and compassion, both for yourself and others. The next time some lunatic makes a nasty comment about your enviable eyebrows, be armored with the knowledge that what you do REALLY MATTERS to more women than you can possibly imagine. Be well
This was so inspiring and uplifting! I am 61 and always dreaded the thought of aging...but I wouldn't pass it up for the wisdom and confidence I have gotten throughout my years. Thank you Nikol for being transparent and making this wonderful video for us! ❤️
Gratitude is the one that meant the most to me. I'll be 59 soon, I've had the privilege of living years longer than my brother and several friends, and even though I miss them terribly it's important for me to feel grateful for these years that I've had as a result of losing people so young. Thanks for the reminder.
There is so much value and wisdom in this video. Nikol, the approaches you discuss reduce our stress catecholamines and help promote restful sleep too. We'll said
Thanks for helping us still feel beautiful (62). I do believe make up works wonders, great & current hairstyles and fashion makes a huge difference. I have more younger men hit on me now but I know it’s my self confidence and not my physical beauty.
You are so right Nikol! What a blessing that you were able to open your heart to God’s will, even when going through a very difficult and disappointing time in your life, and yet finding a purpose and direction that makes you an inspiration to so many. If we can only let go of our will and say from our heart “Your will be done “ we will find a new peace and a new joy and a new purpose 🙏🏻💕. Thank you for sharing such a positive message Nikol!! Bless you!+
Such wise words. At my new job of this last year I am 58 and the youngest in the office! When I am dragging in the morning, I think wait! I am the young one...I can do this if my co-workers can at 63, 68 and 70!
That was so inspirational. Thank you Nikol. I need to have a nonnegotiable list because like most women, I sacrifice my time, priorities, money etc for everyone else. It’s time to set a priority for me. Thank you again💖💖💖
Looking gr8 Nikol. You are one of my primary inspirations and watching u is part of my weekly ritual. I feel blessed to have discovered your channel. With love and gratitude 💝
Thank you for taking the time to remind all of us to continue to embrace life and know our own individual beauty and purpose. I will be 76 in a few months and have recently retired from a wonderful career as a RN. Looking forward to what’s to come.
I appreciate you so much!! Thank you for caring about every woman and also all of us who are in our 50s, 60s and higher. I am 65 and I was so inspired by your message today! You are so beautiful inside as well as your outward beauty!! Thank you for encouraging and inspiring us to do more in our lives!! 😍
What a valuable message you gave us today and one I needed to hear. Staying in the now resonated with me especially with the holidays looming. I tend to recall all the wonderful family Christmases we had together and now with so many of my family members gone, I get sad. Listening to you, I realize that I can still have those memories but by staying in the now, I get to enjoy making new holiday members. Thank you.
Not only did Jimmy Carter build homes with Habitat for Humanity at 95, he did it with a diagnosis of brain cancer! Inspiring. Says keep going! Good talk - thanks.
So insightful, Nikol…but then you always are! ♥️ I’m retired…and, after working very hard for many years, and…being the goal oriented person I am…I have two goals for retirement. First, I’m a life long learner, and second, I believe it’s my time to have fun. Every new activity is weighed against those goals…am I going to learn something new …and, will it be fun! I never expected to love retirement like I do! 🎉🎉🎉
You are such an inspiring woman..!!! You have no idea all the ways you are helping me. I had gotten where I didn’t care how I looked, felt like it didn’t matter. It doesn’t matter to my husband how I look (believe it or not) but I wanted to get back to the younger version of me, where I did care how I looked and felt. I’m 71, have been retired for several years now. Most of my life I did care until retirement. Thank you
Thank you for this Nikol I have been feeling down as I’ve been diagnosed with thyroid cancer and need surgery in a few weeks I’m scared and have felt I’ve lost my purpose past few weeks it’s been all about tests to see where it’s spread to so this video today is very good for me thank you so much ❤
Hugs and prayers...hope you have a great surgeon and a support system for your recovery. It's natural to feel anxious now. May the future be bright after your surgery!
Sending love and prayers as you navigate this journey. Isaiah 41:10 So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
Thank you for your inspiration. It is so important to feel that you are not alone feeling this way. It really helps. I am 67, still working, have grand-kids and do whatever i like. I am so grateful to you for your input in the aging women to make us more beautiful, to be proud of our age!
What a wonderful, inspirational video ! What you said about staying in the present is SO crucial; simple but not easy. I get meditations from the Center for Action and Contemplation in Albuquerque NM, headed by Fr Richard Rohr (Franciscan monk....amazing /genius man) and try to mindful of staying 'present'- like you said, Nikol, it is a gift. Thank you for all of your gifts in supporting us women who are ALL FABULOUS.
What a beautiful, inspiring video!! You bring so such truth and encouragement to your audience. You are so right! Our experiences makes us who we are. I am 71 and so thankful for everyday that the Lord gives me. Love you, Nikol❤️
Thank you for your very needed message. I am that woman right now who has moved a distance from my children and looking at a milestone birthday. I believe I need to be kinder to the Lady in the mirror. 🙏🏻
Thank you so much Nikol for this video !! I appreciate this !! I sure needed this . I’m grateful for you and I love every video you have shown . You have taught me so many things . God Bless You for what you do ! ❤😊
Hi Nikol, absolutely wonderful messages. You are, and I have said before, a beautiful, wonderful, powerful lady. You are a very good motivational speaker. I also practice kindness, random acts if kindness. I practice positive mantras. I make them up with positive words, eg I am a strong, positive, lucky person. I am loved and I LOVE IT. Caps to emphasise the ending. Thank you for all that you do for us ladies. Much love xxx
I so glad you shared your experience on IVF. I was able to have children, as I’m getting older it really bothers me. I’m glad you talked about gratitude and silver linings, it really makes me think. I’m grateful for you and this video 🥰💗
I think I needed to hear this message from You Nikol, without going into too much of my personal life But it’s changing it ways I never thought possible, some not in a good way, well mostly not in a good way if I’m honest with myself, people praze me for what I’m doing But they don’t see the pressure, stress and strain I’m under in the process 😢, I don’t seem to have any time to myself anymore and to do the things I love to do, there never seems to be enough hours in a day. I know I need to make that time but it’s hard when your not sleeping and still have to do all the things that are expected of me, sometimes I just feel like running away and hiding from the world and everything in it, I know there’s people out there worse off than me But this is My Life I’m talking about. Thank You for sharing some positivity, even if it was only for a short time to listen to. Blessings from Queensland Australia 🇦🇺❤️❤️❤️
Nikol, I really needed this today. Thank you! I'm having to put my cat down today. But, watching you always makes me feel empowered and beautiful. Since I've started watching you and doing makeup and skin care as you recommended, I've transformed into an edgy chick! I love the new me...I love my silvers and grays, the haircut, the glasses... all of it. You gave me something back in my life. Self confidence!! The most difficult thing to deal with as you age, not the most, but a big part. Anyway, thank you for the info and great everything 💕!!
Nikol: Thanks for this grounding message, needed to hear this. I've been thinking about creating a gratitude list, but your message inspired me to create a GRATITUDE Board so that everyday I list 5 things that I am grateful for. 💕
I needed this today! Thank you for these types of videos! We definitely need them in todays world. It can be a lot of pressure on us women. God bless you!
What a wonderful inspirational and uplifting video Nikol. Thank for you the positive messages. You are beautiful inside and out. I have to comment on how you looked in this video as well, as you were breathtaking beautiful to match the words. Take care and thanks! I am going to share this video with a friend who recently lost her husband, as I know she will benefit from it.
Love this message!! I am often reminded (by my sweet husband) how old, at 68, we are. He is ill so I understand, but I need to tell him how that bothers me. I am overweight and clinically Depressed and Anxious, so it’s harder for me to be positive. We haven’t been out of town for 2+ years. I didn’t know you went through IVF, and so did my daughter. She did have a baby. Our son and I can’t talk to her without her complaining about her really fortunate life. So we just have our son. Being overweight, is so important to me. It’s not normal for me. Yet I do have gratitude for all the many things God has given me. I just need to practice it!! Thank you for reminding me, Nikol, of how positivity and gratitude make a difference‼️❤️
If you have the time, will you please make more videos? I am glad you do Mondays and Fridays, but if you could add a couple more, that would be great! Watching your videos is really helpful for me. I love your passion💕
You are my inspiration Nikol! I've just ordered you book on Amazon (so happy that it can be delivered to Europe) and even I an far away for the moment to going gray, I cannot wait receiving the book as I'm sure that I'll find so much inspiration for me in it! Thank you Nikol for what you are doing (sometimes I'm sure you don't even realize how much you help people even on other side of the planet)❤
Nikol. Thank you for what you do. I am 57 1/2 years old and I am just starting to play with makeup. I have your brush set and I look forward to using them! 😊
Love this message. My mother is 93 yrs young this women is amazing she is a two time cancer survivor and that’s because of her positive attitude. She does her own cooking, housework, and laundry. She walks every day she has a walker because she fell a few years ago but that for not stop her she walks even in the snow. She puts makeup on everyday takes care of her face and body. She inspires me tremendously. So a positive attitude will help you get thru anything. Thank you for sharing! 😊❤
Aging is a great gift that some people never have.

this was lovely and needed, I'm still relatively young but am looking at having an empty nest in the not too distant future. At this point you realize that "mom" can't be the only identity or it will be disastrous when the kids all move out . I've started a business thats very rewarding and gives me a reason to get up and get ready for the day. I love the other suggestions you have presented. IVF is brutal walked through that with my twin. Thanks for being you, you're amazing !
It's always great to have a plan and to look forward to activities or hobbies you couldn't do when you were busy with kids. xoxo
I don't usually comment on videos, but I feel compelled to. There is no one on social media who tackles issues of ageing, both large and small, as consistently and beautifully as you do. As they say, ageing is not for sissies, but it's all about mindset. I love the fact that you approach everything with love and compassion, both for yourself and others. The next time some lunatic makes a nasty comment about your enviable eyebrows, be armored with the knowledge that what you do REALLY MATTERS to more women than you can possibly imagine. Be well
This was so inspiring and uplifting! I am 61 and always dreaded the thought of aging...but I wouldn't pass it up for the wisdom and confidence I have gotten throughout my years. Thank you Nikol for being transparent and making this wonderful video for us! ❤️
Gratitude is the one that meant the most to me. I'll be 59 soon, I've had the privilege of living years longer than my brother and several friends, and even though I miss them terribly it's important for me to feel grateful for these years that I've had as a result of losing people so young. Thanks for the reminder.
A great message Renee I am sorry to hear about your loss.
There is so much value and wisdom in this video. Nikol, the approaches you discuss reduce our stress catecholamines and help promote restful sleep too. We'll said
Thanks for helping us still feel beautiful (62). I do believe make up works wonders, great & current hairstyles and fashion makes a huge difference. I have more younger men hit on me now but I know it’s my self confidence and not my physical beauty.
Thank you for being you and sharing.
You are so right Nikol! What a blessing that you were able to open your heart to God’s will, even when going through a very difficult and disappointing time in your life, and yet finding a purpose and direction that makes you an inspiration to so many. If we can only let go of our will and say from our heart “Your will be done “ we will find a new peace and a new joy and a new purpose 🙏🏻💕. Thank you for sharing such a positive message Nikol!! Bless you!+
Such wise words. At my new job of this last year I am 58 and the youngest in the office! When I am dragging in the morning, I think wait! I am the young one...I can do this if my co-workers can at 63, 68 and 70!
That’s AWESOME 👏🏻
Thank you so much for getting this information to us!! Women Winning TOGETHER!!!❤❤❤
That was so inspirational. Thank you Nikol. I need to have a nonnegotiable list because like most women, I sacrifice my time, priorities, money etc for everyone else. It’s time to set a priority for me. Thank you again💖💖💖
Looking gr8 Nikol. You are one of my primary inspirations and watching u is part of my weekly ritual. I feel blessed to have discovered your channel. With love and gratitude 💝
Thank you for taking the time to remind all of us to continue to embrace life and know our own individual beauty and purpose. I will be 76 in a few months and have recently retired from a wonderful career as a RN. Looking forward to what’s to come.
I appreciate you so much!! Thank you for caring about every woman and also all of us who are in our 50s, 60s and higher. I am 65 and I was so inspired by your message today! You are so beautiful inside as well as your outward beauty!! Thank you for encouraging and inspiring us to do more in our lives!! 😍
What a valuable message you gave us today and one I needed to hear. Staying in the now resonated with me especially with the holidays looming. I tend to recall all the wonderful family Christmases we had together and now with so many of my family members gone, I get sad. Listening to you, I realize that I can still have those memories but by staying in the now, I get to enjoy making new holiday members. Thank you.
I agree the holiday season is a hard time for a lot of people. I like to think of the memories as gifts and so happy I have those memories.
Not only did Jimmy Carter build homes with Habitat for Humanity at 95, he did it with a diagnosis of brain cancer! Inspiring. Says keep going! Good talk - thanks.
So insightful, Nikol…but then you always are! ♥️ I’m retired…and, after working very hard for many years, and…being the goal oriented person I am…I have two goals for retirement. First, I’m a life long learner, and second, I believe it’s my time to have fun. Every new activity is weighed against those goals…am I going to learn something new …and, will it be fun! I never expected to love retirement like I do! 🎉🎉🎉
Amazing Patricia love your goals!
You are such an inspiring woman..!!! You have no idea all the ways you are helping me. I had gotten where I didn’t care how I looked, felt like it didn’t matter. It doesn’t matter to my husband how I look (believe it or not) but I wanted to get back to the younger version of me, where I did care how I looked and felt. I’m 71, have been retired for several years now. Most of my life I did care until retirement. Thank you
Thank you for this Nikol I have been feeling down as I’ve been diagnosed with thyroid cancer and need surgery in a few weeks I’m scared and have felt I’ve lost my purpose past few weeks it’s been all about tests to see where it’s spread to so this video today is very good for me thank you so much ❤
Sending you love & prayers.
Hugs and prayers...hope you have a great surgeon and a support system for your recovery. It's natural to feel anxious now. May the future be bright after your surgery!
Sending love and prayers as you navigate this journey. Isaiah 41:10
So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
I am 75 and finding that what others think of me is not as important as what I think of me. Thank you Nicole.
I am 62.you are my inspiration thankyou verymuch.
You have brilliant attitude. Absolutely love your lipstick.X
Thank you for your inspiration. It is so important to feel that you are not alone feeling this way. It really helps. I am 67, still working, have grand-kids and do whatever i like. I am so grateful to you for your input in the aging women to make us more beautiful, to be proud of our age!
Thank you for this very important video. I do find you inspiring and enjoy and appreciate All your videos.
excellent ! You look amazing in Red.
What a wonderful, inspirational video ! What you said about staying in the present is SO crucial; simple but not easy. I get meditations from the Center for Action and Contemplation in Albuquerque NM, headed by Fr Richard Rohr (Franciscan monk....amazing /genius man) and try to mindful of staying 'present'- like you said, Nikol, it is a gift. Thank you for all of your gifts in supporting us women who are ALL FABULOUS.
That’s sounds incredible
@@NikolJohnson it is incredible....as are your gifts to honor and support us😘
What a beautiful, inspiring video!! You bring so such truth and encouragement to your audience. You are so right! Our experiences makes us who we are. I am 71 and so thankful for everyday that the Lord gives me. Love you, Nikol❤️
Thank you for being so caring.God is using you to help others. You have the gift of helps.
This was one of the best videos that I’ve seen of yours. Thank you for sharing your life and feelings about aging and beauty with all of us!❤️
Thank you for your very needed message. I am that woman right now who has moved a distance from my children and looking at a milestone birthday. I believe I need to be kinder to the Lady in the mirror. 🙏🏻
Thank you, I really needed this today , you're a beautiful soul! ️
Great advice. Thank God for everything! Even the hard times.
I'm so happy that you are here with us !
Thank you Lena!
Thank you! Perfect timing because first time in my life I am living alone at 76. Your message is so important and a daily reminder. Love your channel!
Thank you so much Nikol for this video !! I appreciate this !! I sure needed this . I’m grateful for you and I love every video you have shown . You have taught me so many things . God Bless You for what you do ! ❤😊
You are so welcome
Hi Nikol, absolutely wonderful messages. You are, and I have said before, a beautiful, wonderful, powerful lady. You are a very good motivational speaker. I also practice kindness, random acts if kindness. I practice positive mantras. I make them up with positive words, eg I am a strong, positive, lucky person. I am loved and I LOVE IT. Caps to emphasise the ending. Thank you for all that you do for us ladies. Much love xxx
Thank you Woo Woo ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I so glad you shared your experience on IVF. I was able to have children, as I’m getting older it really bothers me. I’m glad you talked about gratitude and silver linings, it really makes me think. I’m grateful for you and this video 🥰💗
I think I needed to hear this message from You Nikol, without going into too much of my personal life But it’s changing it ways I never thought possible, some not in a good way, well mostly not in a good way if I’m honest with myself, people praze me for what I’m doing But they don’t see the pressure, stress and strain I’m under in the process 😢, I don’t seem to have any time to myself anymore and to do the things I love to do, there never seems to be enough hours in a day. I know I need to make that time but it’s hard when your not sleeping and still have to do all the things that are expected of me, sometimes I just feel like running away and hiding from the world and everything in it, I know there’s people out there worse off than me But this is My Life I’m talking about. Thank You for sharing some positivity, even if it was only for a short time to listen to. Blessings from Queensland Australia 🇦🇺❤️❤️❤️
You inspire ME❤️ Thank you☺️
It's a Beautiful life ☺️❤️
Happy Monday!!!
Thank You very much 💖
God bless You!!!
Thank you Nicol, I needed to hear that today.
Thank you Nicole. You inspire me.
An excellent chat, Nicole! Thank you 🙏 ❤❤❤!
Such a great video! Thank you! I graduate with my very first college degree in 7 weeks at age 46. 🎓
Amazing congratulations 🎊🎈
@@NikolJohnson Thank you so much! You are such an inspiration!
Nikol, I really needed this today. Thank you! I'm having to put my cat down today. But, watching you always makes me feel empowered and beautiful.
Since I've started watching you and doing makeup and skin care as you recommended, I've transformed into an edgy chick! I love the new me...I love my silvers and grays, the haircut, the glasses... all of it. You gave me something back in my life. Self confidence!! The most difficult thing to deal with as you age, not the most, but a big part.
Anyway, thank you for the info and great everything 💕!!
Don't respond to that link! Or even follow it. It's not her!
Sorry about your loss. Have you read " The Rainbow Bridge"? It's a poem about pets and grief. Very comforting.
@@me21again30 I have but I haven't in awhile. Thank you So much too for caring. 💜
I am sorry Lee Anne to hear about your cat it’s so hard I have been there so many times. Sending love and prayers 🙏🏻😘
I feel so very blessed that I can listen to you! You are truly inspirational. Thank you so much Xx
Thank you Barb 😘
That red jacket/blouse is dynamite! It is a perfect color for you and for your message!!!! Thanks for jewel of a message!
I loved this video so much. I've been wanting to switch careers but hesitant bc of my age. Thank you so so much.
Nikol: Thanks for this grounding message, needed to hear this. I've been thinking about creating a gratitude list, but your message inspired me to create a GRATITUDE Board so that everyday I list 5 things that I am grateful for. 💕
I needed this message today, thank you ❤
Excellent tips, Nikol! Thank you for your wonderful videos! Love yr channel!
Thank you please note I do not send out messages about prizes etc
I needed this today! Thank you for these types of videos! We definitely need them in todays world. It can be a lot of pressure on us women. God bless you!
What a wonderful inspirational and uplifting video Nikol. Thank for you the positive messages. You are beautiful inside and out. I have to comment on how you looked in this video as well, as you were breathtaking beautiful to match the words. Take care and thanks! I am going to share this video with a friend who recently lost her husband, as I know she will benefit from it.
Thank you Linda I am sorry to hear about your friends husband 🙏🏻
Thank you for the positivity, much happiness to all🥰
All I can say Nikol, is thank you for your words of encouragement. I needed to hear this...
Love this message!! I am often reminded (by my sweet husband) how old, at 68, we are. He is ill so I understand, but I need to tell him how that bothers me. I am overweight and clinically Depressed and Anxious, so it’s harder for me to be positive. We haven’t been out of town for 2+ years.
I didn’t know you went through IVF, and so did my daughter. She did have a baby. Our son and I can’t talk to her without her complaining about her really fortunate life. So we just have our son.
Being overweight, is so important to me. It’s not normal for me.
Yet I do have gratitude for all the many things God has given me. I just need to practice it!!
Thank you for reminding me, Nikol, of how positivity and gratitude make a difference‼️❤️
I appreciate this video.
Love your positivity, Nikol!
Loved your message! I watch all your videos. You are amazing! Thank you
If you have the time, will you please make more videos? I am glad you do Mondays and Fridays, but if you could add a couple more, that would be great! Watching your videos is really helpful for me. I love your passion💕
You are my inspiration Nikol! I've just ordered you book on Amazon (so happy that it can be delivered to Europe) and even I an far away for the moment to going gray, I cannot wait receiving the book as I'm sure that I'll find so much inspiration for me in it! Thank you Nikol for what you are doing (sometimes I'm sure you don't even realize how much you help people even on other side of the planet)❤
Incredible I am so thrilled you were able to order it!!!! I hope it gives you a little inspiration to your future journey!!!!
God bless you always Nikol❤. You are a beautiful person both inside and out.
Spectacular. I am grateful for you, Nicole. Thank you. ❤
