A Beautiful & Meaningful Nine Years On YouTube

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Do I use filters? Do I think others do? I show you what I look like without a ring light. I answer how much money do I make and did I get help buying my house last year. Where do I put all my stuff? What almost destroyed my channel and what I regret. I have not done an anniversary video in 4 years because of the emotion of it....but this year, I dared to risk rocking my boat. March has been a difficult month for me...and this week I had a terrible cold...but doing this video helped me realize so many things.
I am so grateful to you.
I hope you find something interesting here tonight.
I hated to make a video " all about me" because my channel has never been " about me" but all of us. We walk each other home and that has made all the difference.
Thank you for your love and wisdom...your kindness and your strength.
Thank you for all the times you lifted my spirits and made me laugh...made me think and made me realize how beautiful this life is no matter what challenges we may face.
Thank you for loving Desi. Thank you for looking past my endless flaws. Thank you for sharing your life with me and supporting the ladies here.
Love you to the moon and back, xxoo Susan & The Dez
“Snowflakes are one of nature's most fragile things, but just look what they can do when they stick together.” xxoo
Thank you to everybody who asked questions this week from my Facebook!

    I lost my little Lhasa Apso last June. She was 17 1/2-she was deaf, blind and had dementia. I am still so sad that she is no longer here. Before her we lost Casey in October 2020. He had bladder cancer. He was 15 1/2. I feel your pain. People who have never been dog parents "don't get it", but they become part of your family....and you miss them like you would a family member. This is one reason why I love Susan and Desi--I get my doggie fix once a week.

    I’m so sorry! I know the pain. I lost my 10 year old rescue doggie- a black Lab mix- to lymphoma three years ago. I’ll never get over it but I still have his best buddy my black rescue cat. I almost lost her when he died. She became anorexic and had to be on weekly steroid shots to eat anything. But I’m sure Merle will seek your little pup out up on the Rainbow Bridge and show him around. He loves other dogs. My heart is with you on this very dark night.❤

I needed the glimpse into what moving from surviving to thriving would look like. I've never missed a video since that first time. Thank you Susan.

I'm sorry people feel like they have the right to ask such personal questions. You mean they haven't asked you about your social security number and bank account number? I love your makeup. I just found some concealer on am ad called Fiera for senior ladies that has really good coverage and doesn't settle into lines... much like yours. I think you're beautiful! You resemble my sister I'm law who we lost in 2013. She lived in San Diego and was a successful realtor and very good painter. Maybe that's why I feel so comfortable with a familiarity about you. Thank you for being you.

He went to play golf that day. He only did 19 holes. He came home and laid down and never got back up. At least he did what he loved to do that day which was play golf. His daughter had told me that.

When one retires, one loses your schedule and routine, the people you work with that is like a second family, helping people (in my case) etc. I am glad though I retired despite the challenges. I joined some church groups and met new people. I lost two dear friends to cancer. I started a new hobby, worked at being heathier. And, found your channel on KZread. You and I are the same age. In a world where you aren't surrounded by someone interested make up for maturing skin, or thift store shopping, or dealing with issues we have at our age... I am glad you're there. Here's to the next 9 years... ok? It's a deal.

I will be 74 this May and I have been wanting to start a KZread channel as well for a few years now.

    Susan, I have loved every single one of your videos. Even when you first started and you were so scared. Because you were real, you showed your vulnerabilities, your hope, eventually your dreams as they evolved. I don't think that you know how courageous you are. It takes so much grit to say "I can start a KZread channel" and "I don't know even what my first step is, but I have faith that I'll be okay". That little flicker of hope moved me to tears. A lot of people would have said "why me?" or "I can't!" but you didn't. You smiled and you loved your tiny apartment. Because you had that much and you could decorate it to be pretty. I cheered when you adopted Desi. I don't know who needed who more :) You took step after step and you were more than okay. You were *living" not just existing. You helped me through so many scary times. If you could smile, then I could too. Now, that smile is a constant with you and I don't know what I Love Lucy plans you have going, but I'm here for the zany ride. I wish you so much joy in the next 9 years. You get what you put out into the universe and you, sister, have put out love. It's going to come back at you full speed so be prepared. And thank you. You're a joy.

    Susan - like so many other women who watch you, I look forward to seeing you and Desi on Saturday nights! It's like food for the soul. Congratulations on your 9 year anniversary! I want to thank all the people who offered kind words, prayers, and well wishes to my Daughter who had her ovary removed 3 weeks ago due to a cancerous tumor. The Doctor called this week and said it was, in fact, cancer, malignant, but they caught it early and it had not spread to any surrounding lymph nodes. She won't require chemotherapy either. We are so relieved, and I am grateful for everyone who replied. Have a good week. I feel 50 pounds lighter. ~lori

    I love you Susan. Been watching you ever since your sad , deep heartfelt loss of Cooper. OMG , did that video get my attention. You see I could relate. I'm a dog lover and a half like you Susan. I remember Patti The Rockstar Mom filling in for you because you were to broken-hearted to tell of your loss that first week. It was a killer when the 2nd week after saying goodbye to Cooper~ you came on camera to say how upset you were. That the sad & anger basically felt like bad company never leaving and you just wished they would. I remember tears streaming down my face watching your saddness come across so much on camera ~~ I was hooked since that day Susan. Then, when you went to the local shelter the day you brought Desi home~~ so uplifting! I look forward to watching you every Saturday night on my big screen TV! It's just me & my dog in our house too. I wish we were true friends. My Moon sings too, but it's always accompanied with one of his sqeaky toys. I sqeak a toy and sing with the high pitch of the toy and Moon starts to howl!! Its hilarious like you & Desi at the end of your videos now!!! Thank you for the laughs!!!!! Much love always ~~ here's to another 9 years!!!!!

    Loved watching this with my morning coffee. I'm a young 75-year-old widow and I want to share this: You seem to love the poem Stopping In the Woods by Robert Frost. Some years ago, before my husband died, we were walking in the back woods, in the falling snow. For some reason, I guess my spirit was moved by the scene, I started reciting the poem, Stopping By The Woods on a Snowy Evening. For me, it was a grade school poem but for my husband, from the UK, he had never heard it. When we got back home, he asked me to write it down for him and I did - on a loose leaf sheet of paper. I thought that was the end of it but when he died, and I was going through his things, sorting items out, I came upon his wallet and, folded up inside it, was the poem from that day. It was all crinkled and "used" looking, so I imagine he shared it with others along the way, that was his style. So, hearing you recite it this morning, while I'm having my coffee, was very special to me. You are indeed "the Little Poet." Thanks so much. I wish you lived next door. You are such a blessing to so many of us.

Girl, you were just what I needed! I felt like I found a good friend. I've laughed with you and cried some tears too. Still miss Cooper. God bless you and Desi and here's to many more years.

    Your house is lovely and you have decorated it so well! Yes it is smart to be in a house that is less expensive. It's stressful to be "house poor ." There may be unanticipated repairs and you might need to buy a new car, etcetera. That's lucky you could find a house for that amount. Where I live the cheapest house is around 400 K.

You are such good friends, have lots of fun together, enjoy each others company and most importantly, both love Desi. What more do you need. Has he ever popped the question? ❤ You have so many good attributes Lovely personality, Loving and caring, good looking, talented and a beautiful homemaker and so young in spirit too. I’m sure most women of our age find you so inspirational. That lovely house that you now own, must’ve shouted,” come to me” when you and Desi found it. To see Desi running around his own backyard is a pure joy. God bless that little dog, and God bless you too ❤🌹

Don’t ever stop believing that you are beautiful, talented & and joy to be around!

    I am FINALLY back home - yay! I was in the hospital from 12/18 to 2/02, then in physical rehab ‘til 3/21 (minus the week I went back to the hospital due to a kidney stone). Came home to a dead refrigerator and garbage disposal, but I’ve been through so much already that I’m at the point where I just shrug and say “Oh well.” 🙄 It was fun hearing the feedback from your followers. I love the way you handle the not-so-nice comments. You don’t get upset or angry (at least not on camera); you might get a little snarky (which I love), but you’re never mean. I can see the Schnauzer in Desi; the Dachshund not so much. Congratulations on your 9-year KZread anniversary. Isn’t 3/15 also the Ides of March??

It was like you were speaking directly to me. You really touch a nerve. May I ask what kind of camera you are using? Do you film with your phone? You made a great choice with your home. It's beautiful. Take care of yourself and Desi. Love to you both.
