- Things I Never Dared Say Until Now - a very honest talk about the beauty community, success, debt, comments left, this is THE NEW YEar Tag.Changing as a woman...setting priorities and letting go. This is the New Year Tag I do every year. I love it that you join me and contribute your feelings as you pick a question or two to answer!
And yes, I did include footage of me and Cooper walking in a snowstorm in 2016. I didn't know that footage was in a video until a lovely subscriber pointed it out to me...so I had to include Mr. Cooper.
I hope everybody is staying safe and warm! Lots of snow here! Thank you for the beautiful comments you left last week. You touch my heart and lift me up every week. You are amazing!
Love Always, Susan & Desi

It has been my face. It's got older still, of course, but less, comparatively, than it would otherwise have done. It's scored with deep, dry wrinkles, the skin is cracked. But my face hasn't collapsed, and nor have I. There is so much to do. - Marguerite Duras, The Lover

Only been with you a short while but enjoy your videos. Its a big year for me at 82 and after 18 years my man and I are making it legal and getting married in Spring on my 55 year old sons birthday. So everybody round here in The old country town of Devizes in Wiltshire says "thank goodness something nice to look forward to. " so we are a public service it seems. He proposed 18 years so and I said "I'll think about it" well I've made up my mind now. I remember my grandmother saying when she was 72 and crippled with rheumatoid arthritis "inside I still feel 17" and I thought as a 20 year old I don't see how you can but now I am there in fact 10 years older than she managed I feel like that too. Pretty blessed and looking forward. Happy new year to you and the pooch from an English old lady.
Well this just made my year! Congratulations!!!!! I want to know more! I want pictures!!! I am so happy for you and your husband to be!!!! You blew me away!!!!
Congrats, Diana!!!
That's a wonderful story of enduring romance! Big congratulations on your upcoming wedding. ☺️
Congratulations, may this coming year bring you more happiness, health and love.
@@LittlePoet It happens in March all being well. I will send you photos - x
I just want to say, I’m a 30 year old woman who probably isn’t in your target audience, but I treasure your videos. I gain so much from your perspectives, your sincerity, and raw emotion. You’re videos show there there is always light in the dark and beauty to be found everywhere. Thank you
♥️ like having a auntie Susan.🤙
Thank you so much Torrie....hard not to tear up reading your beautiful thoughts...
Learn it young and don’t wait to appreciate life until you are old. Your life can be awesome and so much better with appreciation.
@@LittlePoet yes, same with me I'm early 30s but I am your subscriber since 2019. You are already a success - you already reached your goal - which is you spread your warmth and love to us.
@LittlePoet I'm jumping on the bandwagon here! ... I'm 37 and you are such an inspiration to me. I just love you, and I tell other women about you
Hello Susan. My word for 2022 is “JOY”. I’m 67 and living on my own now for almost 4 yrs. The last couple of years were hard but yet good. I bought a small condo all by myself ☺️ in 2021. My mortgage is the only debt I have. It took a lot of self discipline to get to this place and here I am. I feel so blessed. The reason we complain about the “past” is because our “present” isn’t working. Don’t let the past steal the blessings of “today”. Much love ❤️
My word for 2022 is "Me." As a 58 yr old divorced woman who has spent a lifetime taking care of others it has become a priority that I put myself first and not feel guilt over doing so. I'm so excited to find out who I truly am and how my life will turn out.
Anne…I too am like you. I divorced 2021 after 20+ years and am 57. Always putting myself last.
Oh my gosh! I’m divorced and 57, and it has just occurred to me that I’ve never looked after my own needs. My new year resolution was exactly the same thing ❤️
Hey guess what??
I am 58 just divorced after being with him since I was 18....40 years of my life and $700,000 of my inheritance gone!
I had no idea what was wrong BUT knew something was...he is a malignant narcissist.
He did everything BUT he me...he was too smart for that.
I am in total shock at my life YET I am completely free of him.
Walked away with nothing except what little is left.
WoW...I am not alone here!
I never ever EVER want a man in my life again!!
Peace to all of us!!
🌷🙏🥰💖💪💪💪🤭
I'm 61 and the past 10 years since my divorce I have been learning about me. I got off track a bit and my word for 2022 is ME, Not in a selfish way but in a loving myself way!
Oh can I relate ! Glad you are putting yourself first .
No one looking at you or listening to you would call you poor. You have created a beautiful home. You maintain your beauty and health, selflessly share your humour and wisdom. Thank you.
My word is Survivor! I was diagnosed with breast cancer almost one year ago, but am in remission and am going to make 2022, my year! Short hair and all!
Congratulations on beating that cruel disease! Wishing you the very best for 2022!
You can do it!!!!!!
I said a prayer. I just know your going to be ok, My Mom was a 17 year Brest CA survivor. My friend has pasted 10 years . You've got this!
Thank You Jesus. God is so good. So happy you got such a Blessing. I'm sure you look beautiful short hair, medium, or long. I hope everyday is better than the day before. I hope you have a wonderful 2022 and on...........God Bless You Ginger.
I wait for your videos every week. I’m 73 and as a nurse got myself talked into working again. Managing a surgical facility and working 10-12 hours to try and help the patients heal and staff maintain employment is no easy feat! Not what I thought I would be doing at this age. I can’t wait to see you and Desi every week. Your honesty and open heart are so comforting and grounding for me. We have so much in common, no Daddy, divorced, love of beautiful pictures. I saw in my book of blessings this morning “ Dear God, we trust you to show us joy when the time comes. We know that good follows bad. Please help us to be patient”. I consider you a blessing and you just asked for my word for 2022……BLESSINGS. You are one of mine,
Thank you for returning to nursing and caring for the tidal wave of patients filling hospital beds. 🙏🏻
Thank you Ann and thank you for all you do...xxoo
you have no idea of how happy I am that you let go of the products. I stopped following certain women because all they did was push products! I found myself trying and spending money on so many products which ended up failures, in my eyes. This is why I enjoy and never miss a video of yours. You talk about feelings, problems, real life issues and how to deal with them. I've said it before and I'll say it again. Your are REAL .... this is why I love you. Happy New Year again.
So cool..👍💯🙏👊
I agree
Never said better. She’s the best of them all. 🌸💕😊
@@PaleOpal21 you should watch Chynna Phillips at California preaching...she is trying to make money off of God. Geez Louise.
I am glad you said what you said AND especially happy about what was said in this video.
It confirmed exactly what I already knew!! 🥰
Omg! She took the words right out of my mouth!!! Thank you for being you!! (Real) I love that about you. I too stopped following some because of their product pushing. Love Desi too!
If you have the Lord, you have everything you need...
I agree with this 100%. He is how I got though my tribulation 11 years ago. I lost everything, think Job, and now have it all given back 10 fold. God has my life in his hands, I want for nothing and I fear nothing anymore. I am proof He is real to those who give their lives to Him.
I agree. Retirement isn't about the end, it's about transition and a new beginning!
yes and same with death :)
I agree Ellen!!! I was just watching your great channel!!! Low Buy!!!! I am off to the thrift stores today!!!
Susan, You have changed so much. Your personal growth over the years is phenomenal. Success is not measured by how much money a person has. This world tries hard to sell that lie. Success is measured by the people we have in our lives and how we touch others and what we leave behind. Several years ago, I just had to really had to de-tech myself from all the clamoring and noise. Single at 58 I love my life. I enjoy thrifting, buying flowers, planting flowers in my very little space on this earth. Sweet friend, you are a whole person, a wonderful kind person please don’t ever by into the lie that you need a man to make you whole. Blessings to you and Desi.
Look above at the other comments. There are many of us at age 57 - 58 going through the same thing!🌷
she is awsome
Congratulations on being debt free! Isn’t it a great feeling?
I'm divorced a year and my success is that I have I have stopped being bitter and maybe I'm alone but I'm not lonely. Love your posts 😊
I agree just because you're alone doesn't mean you're lonely. My daughter wants me to get another puppy when ever Bailey is gone ( he's 13 ) but I said I just want to be alone for once in my life with no responsibility I really don't think she understands 🙄
@@joanlandry9701 I understand❤
I ended up being convinced to get a dog, so my daughters got a golden retriever guess who is taking care of her 🤨
That’s right ! Let’s get Better , not Bitter !
Often shopping is a way we try to overcome anxiety and pain from the past.
Absolutely spot on,Sharon
I recognize this in myself
And this is wrong, THINGS will not, and do not, replace those feelings and memories. You only become broke and "hoarder-ish". Please get help.
My word for 2022 is "Survival" - I refuse to throw in the towel. Unfortunately every year it gets harder...but I have survived all these years...So fingers crossed 🤞🤞🙏❤
My word for 2022 is " home". Next week I will be moving to my new home. I have lived with family for almost five years recovering from a life-changing wreck. I am past ready to live in my studio apt. I look forward to unpacking my old treasures and decorating my little home.
Mimi, I wish you all the best in your move after your life changing trial !! God Bless You as you begin a new, hopeful, healthier journey !!
Im so glad I found your channel. You have helped me in so many ways. I have never had a great relationship with my parents and right after Christmas they both contracted Covid. My father had to be hospitalized. Your video has been ringing in my ears the whole time. The one where you spoke of having no regrets or guilt, the importance of letting people know how much you love them. I do believe I am going to get a second chance to let my father know how much he means to me. Thank you Thank you Thank you for being a light out in the world Susan. You have truly influenced me in a positive way.
You touched my heart so much...I hope both your parents are doing well...you sound so kind and loving. You brought up the thing I think of the most...letting people know how much you love them in the living years. For me it would be a lesson hard learned....I hope your new year is a great one and thank you so much or being here K Lynn..xxoo Susan & Dez
Blessings to you and your family.
I can speak for me with a absent father and a young woman who would look for men to feed my void. 40 years later the feed has been coming from me when I discovered stray cats decades ago. So I help those cats and kitties too. Success is measured too by not how much money is in your accounts. It's helping your fellow man and being kind. Also giving a smile to someone you don't know. God Bless Susan and Desi. Thankyou for my therapy this week.
Sounds like we are kindred spirits. Thank you for helping those creatures that are in dire circumstances to no fault of their own and sharing a smile to strangers that may not see them very often.
I adore people who care for homeless, often helpless animals--especially cats, which are my favourite furry compaions. Thank you for your kindness!
I am sitting here at my cottage home of the last 20 years of single life and I am surrounded by boxes! After losing my beloved Fluffy (bichon/poodle) to cancer in September, I realized I don't have to stay here anymore. My 6 pound Georgie doesn't require a large fenced in yard. So his passing closed a door and opened a new life. I have bought a condo in Mississauga, Ontario. So George and I are packing up, praying for good weather on Wednesday and moving to a wonderful new experience. Close enough to come back and visit dear friends and family. I am so eager to see how this move will challenge, inspire and motivate me. At 71 I am nowhere near done! Decorating my condo, meeting new friends, continuing to grow my small homebased business and seeing more of my family down there in the city should keep me busy! I so enjoy your videos Susan, it is inspiring to watch you grow in beauty and wisdom in real time.
Wealth is not determined by money , it’s determined by how happy you are in your life and how many people love you ! If you have friends you will have everything you need. I figured out a long time ago that things come so much easier when you don’t have to fight to obtain it !
These are words so true! I hope she picks you for thumbnail.
Happy new year everyone 🎊 I just love your videos, always food for thought and I do resonate with your life. So many life experiences at our age. Much love ,💖🌹
I learned so much from you! I was ready to throw the towel in, I was so depressed and I was going through the days like a robot. Then I found your channel and I learned that life is good and I’m worthy and my daughter needs me. I work like a slave, I make good money and I’m a couple months away from paying off my mortgage and I’m happy. FREEDOM is my word too, once I get rid of that monthly payment I can slow down and do something that I enjoy. You’ve change so much but it breaks my heart to see you cry.
Yesterday, I tripped and fell, landing on both hands, it hurt like anything, I have a few cuts and bruises…. There are times when we fall but we have to get up and go on.
The goal for 2022 is to push like never before, and learn to be content. Sometimes we don’t realise how lucky we are.
You paid off all your debts last year? Congratulations! That is an accomplishment anyone would be proud to have done. Many good wishes and grand adventures to you.
Hold the phone here. I'm reading all the comments expressing approval for your decision not to hold up products. I watch you for your photography, your story telling, your realness. But I came here in the first place because I had been looking at mature makeup videos. I was interested in learning about products and makeup tutorials for hooded eyes and 69 year old skin. Your channel came up as recommended. I got the information I was looking for from some of the mature beauty channels, and I tune into them from time to time to see what's new. But I never miss one of your videos because I came for the makeup but I stayed for the woman. And along the way I did learn about some nice products, especially ROSEHIPS OIL which I love and use all the time. So no, you don't need to hold up products to have value, but there is value in your sharing about the things that have worked for you .You rock, Susan 🌹
Hi Denise....Thank you for telling me how you found me and Dez. I look forward to seeing you and your words every single week!!! I think what I said about going into debt buying products didn't come out like I had planned. I love sharing great finds with my gal pals here.! I love showing some cool things at the stores we love....Venus is the only company I work for 6 times a year and I have oh so much fun doing those little fashion shows. Rosehip Seed Oil changed the life of my skin and I think every year it gets a little better even those I am aging. What I meant for me was there is more to who I am on UA-cam than a reviewer. And I can say that about every single content creator. Many do not want to share anything about their life...and I understand that. The point I was trying to make it somewhere along the line we got it drummed into our heads that unless we are holding up a product we have no value to anybody. And that is how I felt...and I know other ladies feel that way..and they got into debt as I did. And there is nothing wrong with being a reviewer as long as it's what you truly want to do. But for me, for many years I was so insecure...I would spend endless time reviewing things I had no interest in only so I could get to the story part of the video. It's been such a journey. And a gamble too. I wish I could find a way to thank you for everything you have given me these past years....I adore you.
@@LittlePoet It's nice to know the feeling is mutual!
Thanks! Your words are so inspiring to me. You make me feel that things I desire for myself are possible. I love your courage and strength!
OH my Sharon....I dropped my Pepsi when I saw this! Are you sure you want to do this? You may please want to review...you most likely meant $5.00. You don't have to contribute anything to be here! I love you t0 bits and Desi too! You are so kind....but please know, it doesn't cost anything to be here,,,,xxoo Love to you and yours always, Susan
@@LittlePoet of course I meant $50! You make me feel empowered, and I want to give a little back! God bless you!
Your Grandchildren are beautiful! Yes, this year has been both sad and happy....I have so many blessings though...my oldest daughter, 47 celebrated her 4th year with her new heart, she sure lives up to her nick name of Wonder Women, she is one of the strongest woman I know. So proud to be her Mom. My youngest daughter 45, has followed in my footsteps being a wonderful, caring, Nurse. And of course my 4 grandchildren are growing up so fast, but they make me so happy and proud. Hubby and I celebrate our 48th wedding anniversary on the 26th, high school sweethearts who decided to grow old together. And finally after 1 year and half since our furbaby passed, we brought a standard poodle puppy into our home....he is so funny and makes us laugh daily....here's to a better year!
It's wonderful to hear how surrounded you are by love. 😊
Hello I am 71 years old and I’ve been listening to you for the better part of 2021 and a lot of things that you have said resonate within me I come to know and understand more of who I am simply by listening to the things that you have gone through of which I experienced 20 years ago it is not every day that I listen to someone and what they’re saying touches me to the core I enjoy your videos in someways I have some of the same qualities I’m just not want to put those things out and UA-cam keep the way you’re traveling and blessings will fall on you every day
Hello, Susan. Happy new year. My word for this year is "intentional".
The woman who complained to you and told you to shut your mouth, must be a very unhappy person; we know that she is rude and mean-spirited. Your channel is your business; how dare someone try to control your content?
I love your channel, sister. Keep doing you. You inspire many of us, and we want to hear what you have to say. May God continue to bless you!
I hope Susan had a good laugh at that woman’s comment. I was thinking as Susan recanted what the woman said that, yea, how dare Susan make HER channel about herself! The nerve! And she takes all the limelight away from Desi too. Oh, gracious! That’s TOO funny!
This is by far the best video. At this point in my life, (60's) products mean squat to me, and I crave real. Real feelings, real issues, real life.
"A slice of one woman's life" is perfect. It's why I watch - like having a coffee with a friend & chatting over the ordinary but extraordinary things: the changes, revelations, desires, losses & all that makes the human heart ❤ 💙 💜
Well said! I find Susan’s videos so soothing and all of the things you said here. 😊
I think my word(s)for 2022 are “good health” and “declutter”.
5 years prior to retirement in 2014 I wrote out everything. I was determined to not have any bills, drive the same car and enjoy my retirement. I was successful at my goals.
I have not purchased any lotions, potions or makeup since 9-2018. Using up what I have and putting the cost of a finished product in my travel fund. This fund is quite large now and travel 🧳 has halted since 3-2020. I was able to take a few short trips and it was nice paying in cash for everything.
Love seeing Desi in your videos. He is adorable with his overbite and bow tie. 🐾🐶
Many blessings to you Susan.
😎❤️💄Kathy
That’s a good one. Your new word is’Free’. What I’ve done is throw out my old furniture and bought new on interest free terms. I’ve paid my Bankcard off and now I’ll pay off my furniture - hopefully in a year. My new words are ‘Out with the old and in with the new’. Next is a new front door. The stuff I had in my old dresser was unbelievable. I took six bags to the opshop and saved seven bags of stuff. My new furniture is stylish and chic and looks lovely.
Good for you, Joan. You deserve pretty new furnishings after having the same ole furniture for many years. Remember, we can't take it with us, may as well us it to give pleasure to our ourselves.
We will be here every week, even with no product endorsements! We love you being you!
Thank you Mimi!!! Love to you! xo Susan & Desi
Yes! We are all on to the selling stuff to the audiences!
Basically commercials!
Last January my sons house burned down while I was babysitting my grandsons My youngest son told us he never wanted see us again No explanation or allowed to speak with him. Next our older son who has our grandsons separated from his wife after16 yrs Then in August we found out why my husband had been so sick for months. Stage 4 lymphoma . we just found out the treatments he had in October didn't work. New test will determine what's next for him At 68 years old its really hard to go through this . Ready for a new year We believe he will be healed of this awful cancer and the rest is in Gods hands Not ours to handle
God bless you and keep you strong 🙏
I'm so sorry you've had so many challenges but I hear you have hope. May 2022 be your year of miracles. 🙏
Bless you and your husband… it’s a challenging road… keep the faith. I will add “the couple on Little Post” to my nightly prayers, starting tonight 🙏🏻💫
Judy, take heart. My brother also had lymphoma six years ago and he has been doing very well. Praying for a complete healing for you husband.
God give you strength and peace.
My word for 2022 is kindness! In Proverbs 31 it says, "the law of kindness" is on her tongue. I want to use my words to lift up someone, comfort someone, encourage someone, teach someone, love someone! I appreciate you so very much Susan. I learn so much from you and you certainly have inspired me to want to re enter life and be the best "me" that I can be. Love you and Desi❤
I hope this doesn’t come across as weird or odd but you remind me of my mom. She passed about 6 years ago and now I’m navigating motherhood and life on my own.
Thank you for putting such a positive and human perspective into your videos.
I am so honored I remind you a little of your dear Mom. I am so very sorry for your loss and very grateful you are here Celeste! xxoo Susan & Dez
I found myself buying way too much watching you tube and all the influencers. I have really narrowed down who I watch now. My phrase this year is “I have everything I need!” So glad you and Desi are here every week! Happy New Year and thank you! ♥️🤗♥️
Same here❤️
Adore Desi
Both my parents were cold people and I’m not sure they even loved or wanted me
The problem with this,is that it makes one vulnerable to the wrong kind of attention but as I mature am more aware of this
Thanks for being a kind and inspirational friend,Susan
Love Winter and the Snow
Warm Hugs
Hi Susan, the sentence "i never had a father " fills me with sadness. My father was the love of my life ( pre children ).A tall,handsome, reserved Irish gentleman. Hard working, well respected and as softly spoken as he was,funny in his moment.
When we were together i observed people looking at us knowing that we were so precious to eachother. I went to college in Belfast 1980.There was a local disco on a Sunday night. Not wanting to miss the disco ( god forbid ).I went back to college on a Monday morning. Catching a bus at 6am.Sometimes not having been to bed.My father got up each Monday morning to leave me to the bus.Until offcourse i caught myself on and went back to college on Sunday night like most students. I love and miss my daddy every single day.☘
I love your "f word" Susan.Keep you for you.♥️
My 2022 word is some real hollidays by the sea.
Most people did not have a father like that.
Hello friend
I have been watching you for a few years now so I feel like I can call you that lol
After all you have shared so much! I don’t comment very often but I just thought I would let you know how much I enjoy your content and how much I can relate to your experiences and feelings.
I’m so grateful for your channel. Thanks for helping to remind me that we are all only human and all we can do is our very best and try to enjoy life as much as possible
Stay Happy, Healthy and Safe everyone!
Big Love from 🇨🇦
My word is “safe”. Try to keep safe. I spent 10 days in December in the hospital with Covid and pneumonia Thank the Lord I have recovered! I was scared, alone and missing my husband who was also sick at home! We both pulled tho but now need to stay safe and hope everyone tries to do the same! I so love your videos You and Desi is what I look forward to at the end of my week. Thank you for all your time and troubles you put into these treasures! You are so beautiful xoxo
Thank God you both recovered from that terrible disease! All the best to you and your husband for the New Year.
I just turned 57 - I've been watching your channel for about three years. I don't post much, but I do enjoy it so much. I've always looked up to women who are older than me - it's such an honor to see you thrive, and it gives me hope and inspiration that I might be that for others myself! I think women who have gone through great difficulties and managed to keep themselves put together are THE MOST BEAUTIFUL women on this planet. I love how you keep yourself - you look AMAZING! I love how you decorate and the skills you have to blow me away. You are an actual role model for those like myself who have too few in life. I love the word FREEDOM - I pray this year gives you an abundance of that and many more beautiful gifts to open with each passing month in 2022. You are who I want to be, and for that, I thank you!
Susan your candor,and raw emotion is so real and great to see.That is why I return to see your videos.Desi too!You are genuine,thank you!😊🌺
Last year my word was embrace, this year it’s Positivity !
Hi Susan..
Every year my New Years quote is the same.
"Live one day at a time and let God do the worrying for you" works for me! 2021 was also a very trying time for me as well.
My Mantra is Psalm 46:10: Be still and know that I am God.
Joy is my word of the year. I have been so negative. I don't want to ignore or gloss over the negative, problems, or struggles. I just want to find the positive through it all, which I want to lead to joy!
Oh Cooper! I miss that sweet boy but am over the moon for Desi. Blessings to you and Desi from Midas and me!
It’s NOT over for you!!! That’s crazy! New season, new adventures. Get up everyday, look in the mirror and proclaim to the world, “ here I am.”
My word for 2022 is faith. I have faith that my hip replacement surgery on 3/15/22 will not be delayed. I will come through it, recover, be strong enough to slow dance with my handsome husband, play with my grandchildren...
I think your new years resolution should be to have a higher opinion of yourself!! You are so sweet and talented and loved by all of us! Much love to you and Desi, Laura
In 2021 l nursed my dear little elder-cat (named Kitten) through terminal cancer. Before l could catch my breath my cat Looley became suddenly ill and l spent a day comforting her and she died that evening. In 2020 l lost my dearest friend to a stroke. A good year is greatly overdue. But l try to appreciate each day for the little things. I am so glad things are going well for you and Desi. I hope rhey will continue down that path.
Being out of debt is the best feeling in the world. That makes you truly free. Love you and Desi. I’m so looking forward to your videos this year.
Glad you’re posting on Friday again! My word for 2022 is Forward. After all we’ve endured with the pandemic I want to move forward. Not in an irresponsible way but just to get things moving in a good direction. I’d like to try my hand at painting some artwork for my place. Haven’t been able to find anything I like online so will create it myself. Have never done anything like this so it should be an adventure. I’ll have my credit card paid off this month. I know it will be a relief for me just as it was for you. Pet Desi for me.
Glad to read that you will try painting. As an artist myself, I wish EVERYONE would be brave enough to just pick up a paintbrush and try their hand at creating something. In my earlier years, I took a painting class with others aged 20 - 80, some of whom had NEVER painted and we had the best time. Everyone turned out a real piece of art that we were all proud of. Happy Painting, Jill !!!!! ENJOY !!!! 💕
Happy 2022. I too turned 68 years old In 2021 and if all goes well I'm heading down my last (give or take) 20 years. No time for second guessing myself anymore, time to go forward with confidence and to enjoy this gift of life - hard times and good times too. Has never been all easy or all hard - that's part of it - responding to our lives by being positive, kind, and understanding. Sharing with others, family, friends, neighbors and having fun with it! I'm content with the life I have, my little house I live in, my grown up family, my beautiful grandchildren! I'm lucky to be blessed and grateful! Let 2022 bring new adventure and discoveries - best wishes to you ❤️💃
I just started watching you a few months ago but honestly this is my favorite video of yours that I have seen! I see you transitioning! My 2022 word is self-compassion. Currently I am the 24/7 caregiver my 86-year-old mother. I take one day at a time. We are only invisible if we allow ourselves to be. As a 66-year-old dancer I can't do what I once could, but I can still dance! A favorite dance mentor of mine passed away last year at age 100 and she was still dancing right up until the end! You look fabulous in that beautiful blue btw! I keep trying to connect to your music but so far have not succeeded, I'll keep trying...Are the songs played throughout the video your music?
Some like Chocolate 🍫 some like Vanilla ! That’s what makes Us all Unique!
@@monabarber2335 🤪
“Forward” Not “be” forward but to “go” forward. You are so right, life is just beginning. It’s a transition after retirement in our 60’’s. I’m going forward and living for each moment.
Can’t get enough of Desi. What a sweetheart. Your videos are fabulous.
Watching your videos is like watching a mini movie. You have scenery, decor, fashion, beauty tips, and chat that makes me laugh, cry, and rejoice in the knowledge that we rise and fall but life is a beautiful journey.
First, thank you for being you. I know what you said about showing products but thank you for suggesting the Anne Klein watch as a gift suggestion. My husband, who has Alzheimer's, watches your videos with me and immediately said he wanted to get that watch for me. I did. Now when he gets depressed that he forgot to buy me a gift and I show him my beautiful watch he says thank you. Your videos are amazing! Happy New Year!
I forgot the number eight, 8. Living in my house on my own and loving it ,taking care of myself and my puppy, losing almost 30 pounds, taking care of my health . trusting myself and stop asking everybody what should I do about every little thing. Embracing my age , aging gracefully is classy
I am so thankful I found your channel a couple of years ago. I have watched all of your videos. I tune in every week. You are the real real. You give us the empowerment we women need, because many of us have walked the same paths, we share our pains, and our joys. And we can embrace life fearlessly. You make that possible, by sharing your life with us. Life’s about changing, it never stays the same, as the song goes. I turn 70 this year and I will make it a good one. I thank you for the fashion, the products, the tears, the laughter, the compassion, and the good old fashioned advice, and of course, Desi. See you next week, Susan💕
Dezi is so cute enjoy seeing him. I think my word this year is forward. I just want to walk forward and not look back. I want to walk to a better and happier life. Thanks for all your talks and great advice.
Susan I have learned so very much from your videos. I wrote and told you about someone that came back into my life. Well he is gone but the time he was here, was truly beautiful ❤️. My family wanted to know what happened and why did he leave? I don't know but I asked myself one day. How would Susan look at this? In a negative or positive way. So I decided to go positive. I enjoyed everyday he was here! And I thank God for giving me the opportunity to feel joy and love again. Oh I should say. I'm 71 and he is 34. We been involved for just about 15 yrs. Please don't hate on me anyone. We always enjoy each other company. Thanks again.
Funny how we pick our words of the year. I choose is CHANGE as that speaks to me. I am in the middle of decluttering, downsizing and paying off debts. I still want to keep the things I treasure and enjoy life more by lessening the load. Thanks for your sharing and Happy New Year's to you and Desi
Congratulations on being debt free. That's a BIG DEAL. Woot woot!!!! My word is kindness.
You asked which might have been our favorite video from this past year and it's the one you mentioned, it was so meaningful! This one meant a lot to me also because when I turned 60, I went into a depression...I have fought depression my whole life but when 60 hit, I thought I should just hang it up and wait for death...I felt that I would never be able to lose weight, why should I try but the more I felt like this, the more I wanted to buy more make up and clothes but they became a form of burying myself! Now I am 64 and the last year I have begun to feel I want to fight that, I won't ever have my 24 year old skin, my body has changed and, yes, watching my new grandson makes my arms ache but I thought this morning, "they ache with love".... That is my motto for this year....They ache with Love! For everything I feel and touch and all.... I'll quit blabbing but I wanted you to know how much your talks have meant to me and how much I learn from you each week... Thank you!!! XXOO
My word for this new year is contentment. To be content in all things can be freeing and yet it can be difficult at times. I have a lovelife situation that I have to be content with presently and be thankful. I am a widow of over 5 years I was a wife for 51 years. I never expected to fall deeply in love ever again, yet it has happened! Let this new year fall into place with the happiness I deserve. God bless us all!
Transition is a big part of my truth; I am recovering from a serious illness. I will need follow-up visits every 2 months for 3+ years! I can either fear each day or make each day the best I can be! 😊 Yes, making practical moves and also creating opportunities to laugh! Enjoy coming here! So hope it’s okay we share that word! Buckle up 2022! Here we all come!
Again you have hit the nail on the head - transition is so important. I am 66 and feel so energized to start things. Your channel is so inspirational!! And yes I am buying sexy clothes now :)
You always have sad eyes, even when you say you are happy. I hope you are full of joy this year.
Susan , thank you for your encouragements, I am now 78yrs and I am infused with optimism
For the rest of my life knowing the best is yet to come , I love fashion and feeling good and feeling
Fit and ready to tackle many more car adventures , and hopefully more trips to Europe , Susan
You are a real champion of goodwill towards women , Happy Happy New year 2022 to you and yours🎊
Mary Canada 🇨🇦
Happy New Year Mary! yes!! The Best Is Yet To Come!!!!
I have never seen a fur baby that makes me smile and literally laugh out loud when I see his precious little face! And that video single and alone , had such a huge impact on me and my life, I can't even put it into words how powerful that video was to me, in a very profound way. And I also wanted to add that I like the video clip that you just showed where you were outside in the snow waving at Bill when you couldn't go in to see him, but you would go to the nursing home- and wave at him from his window and I can't put it into words how the many times when I watched you do that, it really
emotional and so powerful and I wish I could find the right word to express this feeling that I have, but anyway I can relate to you in so many ways. the comparisons are really uncanny, it would be pretty amazing if we could get together and talk about our lives and how very similar they are, I feel so comfortable watching your videos I know I would be extremely comfortable hanging out with you and I think I would feel free saying things that maybe I never said to anyone else
I just know for a fact that I would be completely comfortable around you. One of the hardest things bringing a child into the world that does not have a father my daughter never met her dad 36 years old oh, you are a wonderful role model young women and girls that they can have a wonderful life even if the father is not in involved
YOu are so kind and sweet Connie!!!
My Best accomplishments in 2021; I paid off 12 yes 12 credit cards! I to am FREE! I’m happier now. I’m 63 years old & now I will eat healthy and try to loss weight. Love your channel & I Love that little Desi!
I love the artistic way you put your videos together. Beauty of nature and the written word. Love your thrift store finds and how you use them so beautifully. Blessings for 2022!
Love your favorite "F" word re "FREE" ... soooo true! 😍
Happy New Year! Transition... that's how I feel too. I am changing, growing and adjusting. It's been a year and being debt free is awesome. I love that you feel you don't have to hold up a product. That is so liberating! 68 is around the corner for me and that just blows me away. Sending hugs!
It's so good to see you here always! I hope your weekend is a great one! I love your collab!!!
Susan, I love your music, your photography, your positive attitude, and your love of Desi! ......My word for 2022 is Appreciation, I appreciate everything I have and especially everyone I have in my life!
I love Desi cuddling under the laundry. What a precious one he is! Doesn’t it feel wonderful to be debt free? Such a glorious feeling.😘
Dear Susan, Thank you for your willingness to share your life openly and with honesty: you encourage me gratly. I am a 69 year old man who has been living alone for 16 years and struggling with some of the same life issues which you describe in your videos. It brings comfort to my soul and a hope for a better tomorrow. Thank you or your wisdom. God Bless You
Hello Susan! You are a beautiful lady and you have the most lovely personality! I am 46 and my daughter is 22, we just adore watching your channel. You are a wonderful person and bring us such joy. We truly just love you! And sweet Desi! Thank you for inspiring women of all ages. We can’t wait to watch your next videos!
Love Desi and the snow scenes!!! Jesus loves you and your soul is priceless!!
I agree with everything you said, but the main thing that resonated with me was that we need to recognize the things within ourselves that we need to work on and change. That's means facing our deficits as well as our strengths and being willing to really do the work to change those things that don't serve us well in life. Sometimes easier said than done. Life is over too fast as it is so why give up when you still have life to live? I enjoy the talks with you and could care less about "products". Desi is certainly a star and is entitled to as much screen time as he demands. :))
I am so glad that I found your channel. I am not in a good place right now. I’m 66 years old, take care of an elderly, sick 92 year old mom. My husband passed away going on seven years February 14, 2023. I love watching you. You’re real and funny, and goofy at times, and I love you. I find myself smiling and relating quite a bit to you. You don’t know me, but you’re helping me, and I know you’re helping a lot of other women in our same situation. God bless you and give you all the blessings you deserve now and in the new year.🥰🙏🏼👋🏻
Hello! I was so thrilled to see you on a Friday! You gave my weekend a cheerful start! My words are “transition” and “hope.” You are helping more than you will ever know. ~ Belinda 🌺🌺🌺
So many important points you shared here and I’m delighted with each one.
Success… one of my hero’s and spiritual directors once said almost exactly what you said. The world measures success by wealth, education and status. Real success is the relationships we build and the way we make others feel. When we’re gone love is all that remains. I’m so glad I was listening in my early 30s. His words matched my heart.
Products! You are so refreshing because you only share what you love and use. I want to thank you for your sensibilities! You share products that are great and affordable! I’ve learned so much from you. I’m not a makeup artist and I don’t care to wear layers and layers of product. My skin can’t take it. I have tried your tried and true and now they are my favorites too. I don’t hear you talk about turmeric oil anymore by the way and it’s my favorite lol
Susan thank you for another beautiful year. I know I’ve said it before but I so look forward to seeing you each week.
The world got crazier and so many people are isolated. Some are living in great fear of living because the fear of dying is so great!
Your mean comment made me laugh. The real deal is we just want more Susan time!
Please bundle up and stay warm. I can’t imagine living in the snow yet it’s so beautiful!!!
See you next week!
Thank you for another beautiful year of friendship Carol...you are so sweet and kind and wise!
I am really liking the new Susan. I'm not so much into all the product stuff and I think you have so much to offer that you certainly don't need that. I hope you and Desi have a wonderful year. Thanks for sharing!
Exceptionally great, on-point visit this week! Congratulations on your debt free status!
Thank you Sue!!! Oh when I made that last payment on my TJ Maxx card I about died from happiness!!!!!!!!!! And then I cut that card up!!!
By the 2nd question I had tears.One of your best saturday visits ever.Hard times,you make me think,you cheer me up.This was such a veiw into your heart.Think you for being a friend,a sister,a giggle,and just heart felt love.
I have grown to love you and your shows. I also love to see Desi. It warms my heart. I was surprised when I discovered your shows that you were speaking directly to me and my heart. It makes me feel seen. It is incredible to listen to you talking about your life, so much like my life, and the beautiful things that I was too busy to notice. You are an inspiration to me. I want to feel feminine again. I loved that part of my life. I am retired and 67 years old. I live with my 70 year old husband, and my adult son. My life is not what I expected. This year I became wheelchair bound due to a foot deformity. Suddenly my life became very small. It has changed everything.
Happy New Year Susan!!... I REALLY enjoyed this video especially when you talked about transitioning. I started full menopause and honestly, its been hell... I said to my husband today, Im 51 and I dont know if I'm going to survive this. My body is attacking me more than it usually does, im exhausted all the time, wearing makeup is useless because i just sweat it off and a lot of times now I feel like thats it. This is all I get out of life after years of fighting to survive. Im trying to find my footing but its rough.....
OH dear, I hear you!!! The hot flashes would hit me in a store and I would try to get my coat off so fast I would almost fall down...dry mouth..dizzy....weird...could not concentrate...would feel so calm to so nervous in the span of 1 minute....omg...I could go on and on...my aches and pains had aches and pains.....sleep??? What is that??? BUT....at 66 I have turned the corner! Amen! It took 2 years but I got through it....I still have problems sleeping but I am trying...what truly helped me is knowing that this all will pass! You should do this tag...you and beautiful and so articulate!!! Love to you always, Sues & Dez
Hang in there, Robyn! My late Grammie, who passed away four months shy of her 105th birthday, always said "...and this too, shall pass, my love!". I had surgical menopause which presented its symptoms exactly eight hours post op (according to the half life of my diminishing estrogen supply!) after my second ovary had to be removed! The intense hot flashes, night sweats, and sleepness nights, etc., seemed to go on, forever! A year later, I was then diagnosed with Triple Negative Breast Cancer, so Hormone Replacement was not even an option anyone dared offer me! I tackled menopause 'cold turkey' while also fighting breast cancer, but eventually things did get much more manageable! It will get better, Robyn, I promise! Happy New Year, Robyn, Sherrey🎀
@@timothysherreyehler5095 Your strength and optimism are inspiring. 🙂
You wanted to touch the world……I’d say mission accomplished.
You have touched so many peoples lives. You most certainly touched mine and made it better.
Thank you Joyce....and thank you for reminding me this morning how loevly and kind you are..:) I would like to think we are all just begiing on something wonderful...together...and apart...but always with love. Happy New Year! xo Susan & Dez
Susan, you just made me feel a lot better about being 71 and retired. For I was feeling exactly as you described people feel about us. Also I am overweight for the first time in my life and can’t seem to lose the weight. How do you stay so trim? I am not feeling so good about myself but I like you very much.
You self worth should never be measured by your weight. If you want to loose a bit for health reasons, love yourself along the way. ❤
The weight gain we get after menopause and upon retirement is hormonal. Look at every older man and woman and you can see how their bodies have changed. You will prolly not lose any weight. I was always 97 lbs, got down to 89 lbs. when my life imploded 11 years ago (you could see my ribs), and now I am 130 lbs and flabby as all get out. Whod'a thought? But it is a fact of life. At our ages who cares anymore?
Walking and high Fibre diet.. it is not how much you eat it is what you eat.
I do like it when you suggest a product or item that you, yourself, like or enjoy and recommend. That's not necessarily pushing products so much as sharing tips. I always enjoy your videos no matter what they are about and Desi is a delight in each one for me!
Hi Susan, I found your channel this year it has brought me many wonderful moments of entertainment and profound thoughts. Yes, you have touched many people and their world with your ability to share your world. I think our age group of people, especially women are re-living many different seasons of their lives and wondering what happened to all those years and why aren't we living a more comfortable life. Instead, many of us wake up every morning and hope we can financially and mentally make it through another day. Fortunately, thanks to you and your courage to tell your story we know we are not alone and that there are many others going through the same thing. I wish you a very Happy New Year, one with many Blessings.
You are not poor. You have your health & joy & contentment & wisdom. What more wealth can one person ask for?
Awesome feeling to be completely out of debt. That is also something I did in 2021 , Instead of paying interest my money is now working for me instead of the opposite. I used to get into debt by buying products and things to help me feel pretty. Good skin care is important but I realize that being free and happy with an open heart help make us more beautiful. I relate to you so much and I am appreciative of your sharing so much. I am 69 in two months. I still feel young except when i let myself feel anything but the wonderful light of who I am, in fact who we all are.. Yes to a wonderful new chapter. My word for the year is trust. thanks for the inspirations.
Hi Susan! Desi may not be great at fluffing pillows but he's so handsome you can forgive him I'm sure! Hugs to both of you!
I believed 2012 was hard; divorced; my children (5) “divorced” me. Went through radical hysterectomy 2 weeks before divorce was finalized; and no “family” by my side; no calls.
Then 2021, someone I knew for more than 7 years; held a 12 gauge rifle, inches from my nose. I believed. Trusted. Moving on.
2022 feeling a bit “lost”. But? Moving on. Life is in making NEW memories. I’m 69. Learning, leaving from the past. I’m ...ALIVE!!! To experience life’s NEW, happier....memories 💕🌹💕
Omg 😳 are you ok now?
@@marcellix being the victim? Has been proof to me, the offender, went on happily with his life. It’s been quite a struggle. Living in my car but with the help from lawyer of “Elder Rights”, getting MY rights, should have an apartment this week.
Thank you so much 😊
My word for 2022 " Declutter " not only things in my life but people--you know the ones that drag you down...and be more considerate of others and thoughtful. We love you without the hype and selling of products. Love you and Desi oodles bless you both and make it a very best Birthday coming up. 🤗
Thank you so very much for NOT holding up.products. I watch you for you glorious visuals, and your trips to thrift stores because I admire your Artist eye and adore seeing things that capture your eye and your fun commentary in what you see. Thank you for being you.
I love your channel. You speak from your heart. There are so many people that will admire you for it. Desi is such a cute pup. I also live in Macomb, MICHIGAN. ARE you on the west side of the state. The snow hit hard there. There is many woman that didn't have a career. I did off and on in my life. We as house wives give 110 percent to our families. That's what my mom did. I'm not ashamed at all to say I'm a kept woman. Been married 42 years with two children Tiffany and Jessie and two granddaughters. I would like to say hold your head up high.
