I watched your videos and today's video left me crying.... no not crying for pain I am crying because I can relate to your life stories. I've watched you for almost a year and i can truly say that you are an inspiration. I truly mean this ....you are true, you are you. Please, please, please don't stop posting your videos I have sent your videos to women who were on the brink of ending their life and after watching your videos they simply texted me or called me and said thank you for the video you sent me. I know I can make it...I know I can continue to put one foot in front of he other and keep moving forward. I love your videos and I know that many others love your videos as well. Thank you, I grew up with a narcissitic mother who abused me until I stopped letting her because she was my mother. Your videos were helped me through my most difficult times in life.. your videos showed me that I am loveable, I am wanted, I am appreciated . I am my own woman who has made up her mind that I am important! I am me!

Susan, a young 24 year old male I know was listening to your channel and your words helped him because he was feeling like a "loser" because of continued job rejections. You are helping way more than you think.

Susan, I have always found two types of people - those who have a "light" around them and those who have a "darkness" encircling them. You definitely have that "light". Don't you ever apologize for who you are. Those who criticize you in my opinion are jealous of your beauty, your kindness, your intelligence and your special ability to touch and help others....And, I admire you following your own path and not letting a man, a relationship, stifle what obviously gives you so much joy. The right man will give you the space to do what makes you happy. Hold out for that special man. He will be so lucky having you in his life.

We have a lot in common. My husband left me for someone else in 2019, and I lost my home and everything I thought was important. I was also married 3 times. Now I rent a small house and have cancer. I really know what is important now, and it’s definitely not material things. I just want to be happy and healthy. I need good friends. I need the Lord to guide me one day at a time. I also don’t want to be dependent on a man. I’m doing ok taking care of myself. My illness has made me a stronger woman. Wish you lived near me. I think we’d laugh a lot. I don’t understand why you were ever made to feel you said something wrong. It’s normal to feel like a loser when you lose everything. We just need to heal. Love you, Denise.

Wow, people seem to be easily offended these days. You shouldn't have to explain yourself or have your every word scrutinized in my opinion. I watch you all the time and never once was I offended in any way. I just thought that the things you said were your feelings at the time. No worries, you're doing a great job with your utube channel. Keep it up you are very talented and special!!👍🏻😉

Please always be your authentic self with us ! Personally, I can relate to what you say. I can’t tell you how much you have helped me . . I would hate for you to censor or have to explain yourself for sharing your true thoughts and feelings. Your True intentions shine through because we know who you are and we know that you would never Intensionally hurt anyone .

You're being real, don't worry about it. People need to learn how to read between the lines and lighten up a little. You're sharing all of YOUR thoughts and YOUR feelings. It doesn't offend me to think of a different point of view than what I might have. I'm not ready to can pickles yet either, LOL!

Susan, I learned a long time ago if you try to please everyone, you please no one. There are so many people in the world that are offended by anything everything and will jump on the chance to be critical of everything anyone says. Keep being true to yourself. We love you the way you are. If they take things the wrong way it is their fault. I was the most unhappy when I tried to always be a people pleaser.

I was a pastors daughter. We moved a lot, like every 2 years. Never felt like I fit in. Any where. Now older I feel the same way still. The walls are up until a weak moment. But I’m at a point to start telling ppl what I think whether it is received or not. So I totally understand how you feel. We just try to do the best we can .

I recently read a quote that seems to say it all. "We make our choices, then our choices make us." Blessings and Love to You and Desi.

“I feel like a loser” I think so many women that have been through divorce can relate to those words. At the moment, in that time, in that mirror we feel just like that. Then somehow we wake up to another day…maybe it takes a month or two or even a year or two to find that new day but we do! We find our purpose again and we hold our heads high and we look in the mirror and learn to love that broken person back to a whole heart and mind again. It may have taken a few years for you Susan but here you are happy and whole! I can relate so I do not and did not take any offense to what you said. The funny thing is mine came later in life as well and I have been married for 42 years, but 2 previous marriages in my early years. For me it had to come from within…I had to feel I had found my purpose in life and it came years into this marriage. Life is such a magical, mysterious experience.

Don’t ever edit yourself… we rarely get to see real in life right now… so refreshing❤❤❤

I must have a thick skin or something because none of those comments hit me that way. If anything I’ve seen great conversations happen as a result of your videos because you have created a safe space for those who need one. I’m sorry you feel you need to apologize because truth be told we’re not going anywhere! Maybe all this isolation over the past three years is causing some people to be more sensitive. I don’t know?

Susan your story to a point is just the same as mine. Married 3 times, walked to the beat of our own drum, lost our filters, and have a wall around me that I am not sure I will ever be able to take down. I understand everything you said. I have not found my path quite yet and I am 61. I am still not sure what I wanna do or be when I grow up! Many times I feel less than others. I live on Social Security Disability so money is tight. I did get to a thrift store a couple of weeks ago and bought two sweaters. Oh how it felt so nice to have something "new". As I type this in the background the Rolling Stones are on Iheart radio. The song, "you can't always get what you want" is playing quietly. Thank you Susan for being you and sharing yourself with us. Brightest blessings and much love.

I haven't really been watching you that long, but you have never said anything that offended me. I have listened to you and I am starting to understand myself and trying to turn my life around. I understand having a horrible life. I have made a lot of mistakes and made wrong decisions. The only thing I have really been successful about in my life is survival. Life is hard and sometimes I do not understand it. Listening to you has made me realize so many things. I want to thank you for all that you say and do. By the way I love thrift stores ! Have a wonderful day and by all means please keep touching my heart.

Honey, you have your own channel. You can say whatever you want. You've earned that right Sues. You really have. If all of us were in a room and went around one after another and had to tell our worst mistakes or things we'd said or done, it would be a shock and awe session girl, I can promise you that. Some of us have lost money, lost husbands, lost friends and we've either caused it or we haven't caused it. Shoot, lots of us live with children we love but husbands who don't love us even though they may not have left us.....they may as well have left us if they aren't emotionally with us or they just don't give a damn. Girl, we are a smorgasbord of crazy, loving, wild, fearless, but frightened, lonely, but sometimes deliriously happy women. We represent the whole world 🌎 🌍 of women. And honestly, we are all doing the very best we can......and so are you Sweetie. We wouldn't want you to be any more perfect than you are. If I told you only a few things in my life, you'd go running back to yours at the speed of light.. 😂. You're awesome Susan, never forget that honey. ❤️

I also lost everything .... but i thank god i have been given a second chance

I always appreciate your honesty. As a fellow senior single, I totally understand your candor about relationships. It is hard at any age to be "replaced" in someones life. Hang in there. People understand more than you know.

Who are these thin-skinned women who seem to have their feelings hurt by watching your videos? boo hoo. The whole reason I watch your channel is because you speak your mind, so please don't allow these other women to "edit" you. Be your authentic self.

Susan with so much horror and sadness in our world right now I look forward to seeing you and Desi every Sunday just for the chance to think about something else for a bit. I love how real and true to yourself you are and your wit and great sense of humor. To each his own and I hope you never find that filter!

Oh my, I can really understand your thoughts of never fitting in. I was always a serious person even when I was a child. Now, I just do my own thing. Your life story after you lost everything is amazing! Your ability to be fearless gives strength to all of us! I have grown so much after finding your channel. I was depressed and lonely. I listened to one of your videos and made some changes. I got up every morning, put my makeup on, walked my little dog and met some of my neighbors. Even at my age and health situation I found a part time job which gave me some peace for my heart, my finances, and my feelings of hope. You have given more to us than you can even imagine.

I think you should be kind to yourself:) we’re all doing the best we can

Girl, I love Aunt Bea and I got a good chuckle from that comment. You can’t please everyone, so better please yourself. Your a great lady and I love your KZfaq channel . You go girl !!❤️

Susan! You were sharing YOU! No place for objections, corrections or filters! If telling your innermost secrets offends someone (boo-boo!), they can watch another channel that caters to their (poor baby), style. You absolutely DO NOT need to address or apologize to anyone for anything! Lotsa love from Texas❤️

I just started listening to you about a month ago and I want you to know how much I appreciate you being so open and honest. Sometimes I feel I don't have any friends and I can watch one of your videos and feel so much better. You are an inspiration to me.

One of the things that always stands out, is that you are, and I'm guessing always have been, a dreamer. Dreamers are the ones that make this world a better place so you keep on dreaming and bringing these videos to us. You are looking so happy and healthy Susan. Have a lovely week and Happy St Patrick's day too to you and Desi ☘☘☘

The first thing that comes into my mind is I respect you! You are honest and admit the truth how you see it. We are all like that. We think back and oh oh! I mess up. Being married for 54 years has been a lot of work. I have been with him since I was 16 he was 18. There were times we just got tired of arguing. Nothing big just the daily junk. But now we are in our 70s and we need each other more than we did when we were younger. Who knew the world would be upside down at this time. It is a cruel joke. We are Christians and we are grateful for our Faith . You keep going , I think your life is exciting. I always can't wait to see you. Thanks Joyce

You are a wonderful story teller. I get consumed inside the words and emotions. TY. 💜💜

Please, Please keep sharing how you feel & what’s in your heart - without a filter! Someone will always think something different or even be offended - but that’s their work to do!! I honestly cannot imagine hearing you say anything purposely offensive, especially to all of us. Just be wonderful you! They’ll get over it - or not! 🤣🥰 I’m 72, absolutely determined to be kind and still not always be filtering!! A very wise counselor once told me, a relationship/marriage needs to be - not with the person you figure you could probably live with. The right person is that person it would be hard to imagine living your life without!! I hope you wait for that person - he’s waiting for you too! ❤️❤️ See you guys next week! Happy St Patty’s Day! ☘️❤️

My first instinct was to shout "how dare they" If those are your feelings, how dare anyone diminish or berate them. I appreciate your honesty so very much and look forward to it every week. You said several times, "I won't say that again". Please do not filter...edit your feelings & thoughts. Lies are only lies if they're intentional! My story is quite similar with some glaring differences but how you say it, it's heartfelt and real. I've got 7 years on you and I'm not ready to can pickles either!

What a beautiful message. As a 69 year old single, happy woman, I can look back at mistakes. But not with regrets. It was what it was. I am happy today and look forward. I love your posts and look forward to each one.

Susan, there are so many women 55 and older who have inspirational, sharing, how to channels we could visit; however we choose to visit you weekly for your very funny, sympathetic, emotional, loving, caring, shopping experiences and life's human experiences. The kind of discussions we would hope to share with a best girlfriend. Thanks for you being you!

Susan, you have never said anything I found offensive. I love your thrift store riffs. Canning pickles or anything else is not my thing, but if it’s somebody else’s, then go for it. You put your heart and thoughts in your videos. I think your relationship was where it was supposed to be at the time. Life is filled with lessons, and we never stop learning from them.

You know, it's not so much what is said, rather the spirit in which it is said. Susan, you have a kind heart and a giving spirit and most of us can easily see that, and understand that your thoughts and words come from a place of love. Those who cannot, well... it's a reflection on them, on their emotional receptors, not on you. And you have no control over how you're perceived. I have lifelong experience w/ this. The only thing each of us can control is how accurately we communicate. And you do that very well. Sending love and a big hug and Hooray for spring!! xo Cheryl

Thank you so much for the great video. Miss Susan, you don't fit in because you are meant to stand out.

Hey Susan, we all say things we wish we hadn’t said I know this is an older video but don’t be too hard on yourself. We all open our mouths and put our feet in it that’s life that makes us human that makes you real and we love you for that, if you were so particular and so careful with your words because you’re afraid to offend someone it would take away your authenticity and none of us want that so you speak your truth we stand with you and if you stick your foot in your mouth, who cares we all do it we just don’t have a captured on camera You’re far more courageous than us and we love you for that.❤

My sister followed all the rules in life ..... I did not. I knew I had the better life when she looked at me and said, "I don't think I would have had the courage you had" I've lived a good life!

I needed this escape today. Thank you. 💙 I think I will never be in love again. I am 69 years old and have been divorced for 20 years.

Susan, I have never taken offense at anything you have said......you are so down to earth and we all love your videos......you never have to explain or censor yourself! Have a beautiful week!

Remember when Ricky told Lucy… Lucy you have some splainings to do. Everyone path and way is different. Don’t beat yourself up honey. I’m not the Aunt Bee type either. We are who we are and that’s it. I’m 66 and now I feel comfortable in my own skin. It’s liberating!

I was "there" when you mentioned those 5 statements in previous videos. And I "understood" what you meant. But you taking the time and care to address it makes me like you EVEN MORE ☺️! I am completely inspired by you! I'm 58 but I'll be 59 next month. You make me feel like I can go and do whatever my heart dreams of doing or going. Thank you!🌸🍃🐝🌺🌻🌱🦋🌿🌸🌺🌻🍃

i have never felt like i fit in anywhere. always felt like the odd person out there. but am happily married to my sweetheart who is now disabled and i care for him. i love him so very much and we will be married 58 years in may.

Dear Susan, i was fortunate to marry my childhood sweetheart, we stayed married 51yrs , had five Beautiful children by the time I was 30yrs old. I am Irish born and bred , emigrated to Canada in 1982 My dear husband died from cancer, he suffered for 2yrs . My family are all grown up and in the space of two Years , my heartbreaking sorrow for lost two of My beautiful sons to heart failure, the years have slid by , I was almost in tears while watching your so Sensitive video. Yet Susan you inspire me so much, because of your sensitive nature and honestly Your natural beauty .❤️ often I do think long about life as a widow of 6yrs, I dream of a new love to spend the Autumn of my life as someone’s darling . Can love still catch us ..out of the Blue, I hope so.🤷‍♀️ Love so much your wee Dessi , so Happy Saint Patrick’s day Blessings to you and your family.💚 Mary Canada 🇨🇦

I saw that episode🤣😂😂Andy, Opie and Barney were so sick of pickles.

wish you did a video every day because you make my life so much easier

Susan, you have the most precious personality and outlook on life that I have ever known. You're such a great mentor for women of all ages. I believe you are one of the most humble, down to earth people living. You're loving, you're beautiful, you're intelligent, so very talented and you relate to women of all ages. Maybe it's because we have experienced so much of life so similarly that I absolutely adore you. You're just who you and are and we love you for that. Many people are overly sensitive these days and I happen to believe that traveling down rough roads qualify us to express our opinions. People need to step back and look at what a grand gesture you're making as a means of looking out for them because you try to prepare us for the unknown and even the unwanted. Don't forget, some people never travel those roads, how fortunate they are. Traveling through life down all the roads is what makes us so real and knowledgeable. So, who are the real fortunate ones......

In essence, you didn't make your ex a priority; he found someone who did. Lesson learned. Happy St. Patrick's Day; Erin Go Bragh. xx

Today is my anniversary. My husband is in heaven but 39 years today marks a gift. I had a gift...I had the best and will always cherish the love I was given. I do not ever feel you offend.. I wish I could be as honest as you especially sharing your life . I lost the person who could ground me and ease my doubts. I struggle with identity and I'm almost 67. I ask myself everyday, when will I grow up... Keep sharing with us; we need your transparency.

I’m so glad I stumbled on your channel. You are such a gentle and calming influence and I can honestly say I’ve never been offended by anything you’ve said. I’ve only been watching your videos for a couple months but I did go back and watch you from the beginning. Wow, how you have grown in your journey. You should be nothing but proud of yourself. I was so excited when you did the video on finding your father and when I saw his last name I was even more excited! I have no idea if we could in any way be related but my maiden name is Moore and I grew up near Chattanooga, Tn so when I heard about your father I adopted you as family! Keep doing what your heart leads you to do and keep reaching for your dreams. Just remember nothing says that you can’t reach those dreams with the right person beside you. Don’t give up on love because someone will hit the jackpot when you walk into their life and you become friends, lovers and partners. But even if that special person takes a little while to find you, it’s okay because you are just getting a head start on your forever and ever perfect (for you) life. You are a true inspiration to so many people. Myself included❤️

You are SO authentic, please always be yourself and say exactly what you want, that's the reason you are so successful, we can feel that integrity and honesty..you are the real deal. Btw, I have never heard one word of anything you ever said that needed explaining. Desi is SO adorable..big hug to him please!

My little Ruby is a Dachshund. She was rescued from a puppy mill. Her feet never touched grass during the first 7 years of her life. You are a blessing to Dezi.

I live in Florida ,but will be moving to The rolling hills of Kentucky on April 15 th. My husband and I of 54 years have reached the top finally. In all the struggles of raising a family, managing our lives we have reached the “sigh” moment. It’s the dream that we never lost sight of , but for most of our 54 yrs thought we would never have. When I think of the pain we went through to reach this mountain it was all worth it, But in the midst of that pain was 3 sons flourishing, graduating from college, getting married ,having children , becoming successful. That was our reward for the pain, because through that pain of growth they became strong and independent. They grew in gra

I want you, Susan to be just the way you are - that's why I listen every Sunday morning with a cup of tea! Much love from Susanne 🥰🇸🇪

You're happy because you have stopped trying "to fit in ". Don't walk in anyone's shoes!! Strut in your own stilettos and be proud! Each day you look more amazing then the day before!! With age and experience we are wiser. You lost nothing and gained everything. The best is yet to come for you dear Susan ❤

You don't have a mean bone in your body. That's the way you come across to me. I'm glad you are happy at this stage of life. You earned it. ❤❤❤ 🍀

“You don’t find happiness, you make it” This is a quote that inspires me 😊

Susan. I guess I don’t overthink your videos cuz I haven’t felt mad about anything you say, sad maybe but never mad. Always look forward to Saturday’s videos. Tfs cheers

Through the lens of your camera while expressing your insights & feelings, you share your true self w us! I have had friends IRL, who were less authentic and I appreciate your candor. You’re a treasure, a friend, and I hope you continue to film for many years if you choose! I turned 67 this past week, a single woman raising butterflies in my gardens. Let your Light shine bright Susan and perhaps one day you’ll play your songs as background music to your photography! 💗🦋💗

It is refreshing to see you care enough about your followers to explain things that you had a right to say. That speaks a lot about your character. Thank you.

Dear Susan, I’m turning 60 next month and I can tell you that I still didn’t figure out life. I go with the flow just doing my best to be a good person. People that get offended do not have anything else to keep them busy. I always say if you’re offended get a job. 😄You are such an artist, such a beautiful soul. People are so superficial and judgmental. You keep doing you for those of us that are not that easy to offend! 👍🏻🥰❤️🌸

Without a doubt this is my favorite video. Serious subjects, yet you had me laughing out loud. I think that’s a big part of our journey through life, we finally see that what we saw and made so serious, could also make us look back and laugh, or at least smile about it. You have a wonderful gift for storytelling…🌷

Never in a million years do I get offended with anything you say. I get what your saying and feeling ❤️

Thanks for always being honest and frank This is your gift ,to share Never censor your words Bless you Warm Hugs 🤗

People who criticize speak from their own angry, hurting hearts. You are speaking from your loving heart and not asking for corrections.

All I can say is now I’m craving pickles !! And yes, I did can them myself, haha😂☺️😍. You are a treasure 💜💜

Susan you are so very thoughtful being so concerned about other people's feelings. I have never been offended by anything you have said and appreciate your honesty. Please keep being you- you are such a very special woman! I have been dealing with so many emotions. My husband was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer about 2 months ago and started chemotherapy a month ago. The first treatment was really hard on him so they adjusted his chemo and the second was much better for him. His 3rd treatment is this week and we also see his oncologist. I am scared, worried but also holding on to my faith that God will get him thru this and with treatment, we will have more time together. I have quickly come to the reality of how precious each and every day is and how not to ever take for granted the little things like just enjoying a meal together. I pray so much that the chemo will help him. I am a natural worrier and I need to let go of this fear and worry and place my trust in God. I keep a positive attitude and smile on my face for him but I also need to keep it for me. My love to you and Desi and I wish you both a very Happy St. Patrick's Day! 💚☘️

I do not comprehend this need to constantly monitor what someone says so it doesn't offend anyone. Someone, somewhere, anywhere on the planet, is always going to find something by which to be offended. Tell your truth. Tell YOUR story. Tell YOUR feelings. If you're constantly self-correcting, then what you really feel might not reach someone who needs to hear it. No, I don't believe we humans should spend copious amounts of time beating ourselves up, but on the flip side, if you are telling a story about something you did that made you feel any kind of way, what is it, other than true? Just be you. You is beautiful. You is amazing. You have a lot of wisdom to impart. 💝

Yes my goals at 67 are the same as yours: stay fit, stay healthy, enjoy my blessing, share what I have, help others.

Your so very sweet to even make this video. I’m not so sure I would have. But the way you care about people shines through so anyone watching you knows this .

Susan, all you express in your videos bring light and ignite joy. Sometimes I’m out doing something and see a quote on a wall or hear a song that connects with something you’ve said. And it makes sense. And I smile because I understand what you meant or at least it makes me realize something I needed to learn. I said all that because I want you to know that your stories, comments, videos help people. They help me.

I have never felt like I fit in either and when I would start a relationship with a man i just became a chameleon and became whatever that person wanted me to be. I didn't know how to do "me" so I became who I thought they wanted me to be. Well 3 marriages later, I finally found myself. No more chameleon. It feels so good to like myself flaws and all! God bless my husband because he is secure enough in himself to let me be me because finally finding myself could have cratered marriage number three. Susan you have found you and finally you feel like you fit in. You "love your own company" and you just don't want anyone to squash what you have discovered in you. You are amazing! No need for filters now. You are a power house of creativity. Keep discovering you. Timing is everything right? The right man will stand amazed at your talents and will give you room to breathe and grow. I love how you use the lens of the camera to show us your world. To help us see the beauty in life that we might have missed or to move us emotionally. Your camera and video work does that for me. I love getting behind the camera with you! See you next week! Life is beautiful! and so are you!💖 hugs to sweet Desi!! XO

Susan, I think what makes your Channel so special is because it meets so many needs at so many levels. Please stay random, unpredictable and real. So many times you put into words what I have experienced and am unable to Express what happened. God has gifted you with that ability and I thank you!

Love your channel! I’ve never once taken anything you’ve ever said the wrong way. Guess I really get you! 😘🥰🥰🥰

I feel like you just described my life so far to a Tee! I purposely lived my life doing everything unconventionally and never did what was expected of me or wherever someone tried to lead me, I would go opposite! I always followed my heart, NEVER my head and now I have been through so many highs and lows, so many hard lessons learned the hard way. I gave too much ch of myself , gave people too many chances and put everybody’s else’s dreams and desires above me own. I believe an independent strong woman will often attract the worse kind of men. I have had 3 marriages also. The last one about did me in and i’m finally recovered after 12 yrs it’s been over. wow! i am now 60 and have wasted 12 yrs of being scared to try again! i wish i was 48 and could relive these past 12 years of being alone. I think for me, I am so scared to try again, but I just can’t trust my judgment because of all the times I thought i was right… when i was so terribly wrong. I am so totally non-judge mental, there is nothing you could say that would offend me. I always respect others opinions and beliefs. I think it gives us strength to be able to say whatever we feel and think and to know that the ones who truly accept that, are the ones who are truly worth our love. 🌟❤️💪🏻

I’ve felt like you many times I don’t fit in, I’ve messed up, made bad choices, said things that in hindsight I wish I hadn’t! Wasted precious time on someone who turned out not worth it! But neither I nor you are unique in that and we all pick ourselves up and keep going. At 66 I am now at peace with myself and my life. Love your posts and your honesty! Don’t change.

Dearest Susan: You are a fabulous, honest, down to earth, sensitive and very funny woman! I am sorry you have felt the need to apologize and go back through all of your thoughts & comments; however, it's the mark of a courageous person (woman) - we love you just as you are and because of WHO you are! Thank you beautiful lady for all you do for us here in this community of which you have so caringly and lovingly created. Hugs, Michelle 🥰 P.S. Happy St. Patrick's Day to you and sweet Desi on the 17th of March ... 🍀

You are a treasure to me, and I have enjoyed the beauty, wit, and wisdom in your videos for as long as you've had your channel. I could wax poetic about how your videos have often made my heart soar, but I'll save that for a later date. At this moment, know that I wouldn't want you to be anyone other than your true authentic self.

Thank you Susan for all your honey. I can identify with you so much on your life’s travels. Keep loving yourself! 🤗❤️😘

Susan, When I first started watching your videos, I'm sorry, but I thought you were kind of depressing, a Debbie downer. Haha. But in the past two weeks I've watched many of your videos and you've changed my mind. You're a sweet, sensitive, and a truly beautiful lady, I'm going through a lot right now in my life and I have no clue where I'm going. Like you, I am 67 as of January 14th. For most of my adult life I've felt like an accessory in my husband's life. I've been married two times. I'm so tired of being an accessory but I don't know how to change it. Thank you for being so honest. It's so refreshing. And as for you wishing you hadn't said the things you talked about in this video, you have absolutely no reason to apologize. These days people seem to be offended at the slightest thing. Say what you feel, be who you are! Thank you Susan

I appreciate and adore your genuine sharing. You make the world a better place! I’m 64 and can relate to your stories. I was thinking in the movie Rocky, one of important lines was him telling Adrian, “ I’ve felt like a loser, and rather I win or loose this fight, it’s really about going the distance.” That’s the real theme of the movie. 💫💛🍀👍🎼So happy for you all your progress and new discoveries continue.

Love the conversation Susan , I truly believe there will always be new lessons new redo’s of things said or not .. to me that just means we are growing learning and it’s called life … I don’t live to fit in I live to standout. I think it’s fabulous you are taking time to do you , do everything for you the things you love. Life is a journey not a destination, enjoy the journey:) hugs X2 Desi 🥰

Oh I’ve had a few (3 myself lol) where I was bad at life, then good, then ok, then great … such is life. I love you!! Your vids really, really helped me at a down time. I too wish you were here every day!

Hello Susan! Please know that I totally enjoy hearing how you work with your strengths and weaknesses. I pray that you never have to censor yourself. It’s how you feel. I feel that way right alongside you. I have NEVER felt hurt by your shares, but rather like a Sister, or best friend, I smile, or cry, or shop with you! I am thankful that I found your channel and proud to be 1 of the 72,000 subbies. Thank you also to Desi, who allows you play with his suffocated toy, that’s trust, and it makes you happy. Once again, thank you.

You don't need to apologize for anything you say. People need to lighten up and quit looking for something to be offended about! You are a blessing!

Thank you for your thoughts today, Susan. I always resonate with so much that you say. I am at the same spot now that you were. I am at a time of my life when I am newly divorced and know I have to live life on my own to become whole. I don't know if I will ever want to be with anyone. But I do know that I will have to show myself I can make it on my own first. You are such a delight and the distraction was much needed today.

Susan, please don't filter yourself. Even by you clarifying what you have said in the past shows what a kind and thoughtful person you are. So if it made you feel better to talk about these misunderstandings, I'm glad you did (which I sometimes feel the need to do so myself, so I understand...) Every weekend, I look forward to and appreciate your heart-warming videos. How is it that I can relate to each and every one? My heart goes out to you about the feelings you went thru about the news of the former man in your life. Hugs to you and Desi. Wishing you both the very best in finding that house with the yard for Desi. xoxo Susan

Like you,I want skies with sunshine and the promise of warm days. It fells as if the freedom to roam was never going to come. I miss road trips with friends and belly laughs. I want to breath easy and smile again. I hope for better days. I'll pray for peace and joy for us all. Blessings to you and hugs for Desi.

It doesn't matter what you say or how you say it there will always be someone who's offended. Keep being you. ♥️

I think that as it's your channel, you can say and share whatever you wish... surely people just have to learn to accept other peoples thoughts and words without judgement. Keep being your usual happy, bright, intelligent, caring self. 💐

I have found the things we say that bother us so badly, tend to not have that affect on the other person. I have apologized for things said... Other person didn't even remember!

This vlog is so relatable and when when one door closes a window is opened to reveal something wonderfully beautiful. Keep that optimistic dream .

Hi Susan. There is a saying that I love. People that matter don’t mind and those that mind don’t matter. You are a good person who has come in to herself and you put yourself first. You’ve earned that. Do the things you love and enjoy. I want no part of drama. Only peace. I have learned as I get older the more I listen and the less I speak works so much better for me. But you have a forum on this channel and you help people. You’ve helped me tap into parts of myself. I identify with things you say and do. I think other women in their 60s do to. I love calm, candles, dim lights, quiet times just to talk to God, meditate and a good cup of coffee. You have a calmness about you as I’ve said before and it helps me. You will never be able to please everyone so don’t get wrapped up in that. I don’t think you would ever intentionally hurt anyone and those who are with you on your channel know that. You just stay true to yourself and say your heart ❤️. That’s what works. I I out live my husband, I don’t think I’ll ever marry again. Where you are as a single woman I think is where I would want to be. Just taking care of me and doing fir me. I’m guilty of thinking a lot of older men move quickly because they are scared of getting old without anyone to help take care of them. I bet the darts are headed my way. Lol. But I think us older women must be careful. You have a wonderful week Susan and always be yourself. Sorry this is so long.

You are amazing. Gosh, when I just now saw you say, "I felt like a loser". I felt like, "wow, she seems successful, and still feels like I do sometimes". So, don't worry about what you say, there will ALWAYS be someone who is offended these days. I can totally identify feeling like your son would look at you differently. I was always the business dynamo, raising my son as a single parent. Now, I am retired and he has far exceeded me in business. I feel insecure around him. It's MY issue, he is great.

❤️❤️❤️wow I loved this video! I feel like we are so much alike (same age, both love photography, been married multiple times, love dogs etc). But I could never have a weekly vlog- I’d say things that could be taken wrong and maybe offend some. You are so kind and honest- I love that about you

Much love and hugs to you and our little precious Desi.🥰❤️🐾

You are so honest in expressing yourself. It brings a breath of fresh air. Thank you for sharing yourself with us.

Being 62, a grandmother of 10 saying exactly what I think to me is a blessing! Feisty women are fabulous. BTW The Grand Rapids & District Pipe Band(bagpipes) will be playing all over GR (see Facebook) on the 17th & performing in Rockford on Saturday (Outside) then 5th street hall that night. Susan I have never heard anything come out of your mouth that I thought offensive.

Oh gosh Susan I can’t believe people have called you out on any of this. Please don’t censor yourself, that is what we love about you. People are just too damn sensitive! Oh and I’m not canning pickles either! (Well actually I have but I’m not good at it, lol!)

Be You always, you are delightful and beautiful. I was married twice, first one dishonest second one a cheater with a gf of mine. I couldn’t understand why and I felt a failure . The only thing that kept me sane was my son and working hard as a waitress and baker at a Woolworth store back in the very early 70’s. It took years for me to feel okay with myself, but that wall around my heart has never fully come down. I’m 73 soon to be 74 at the end of this month, I look at my life now and know those experiences I had over the yrs have made me who I am today and I am proud of myself for raising a wonderful, loving son, my four grandchildren and a wonderful daughter in law. Worked hard all my life. You have helped open my eyes to a lot of good things to think about and I thank you. You do not need to apologized to anyone . Happy to see you and Desi. Happy ☘️ too!

I’m glad to know that I’m not the only one who sometimes cringes when thinking about something I’ve said that I wish I wouldn’t have! Just to let you know, I have never been offended by anything you’ve said. I feel only gentleness, love, and understanding from you. Thank you for being vulnerable and relatable.
