Susan, I just can’t tell you how much I look forward to each new posting. I’m 73, a nurse administrator and let myself be talked into helping in a different state for “three months”. Well, now it’s been 7 months and I’m missing the Christmas season with my husband and two dogs. Very lonely but I think our generation holds to commitment and I can’t now just walk out. So, that being said, you have kept me company through all of this. You are with me when I get ready in the morning and sometimes in the lonely evenings. It is so much fun seeing Desi, going to the stores with you, decorating, cooking, and all the things I love to do as well. You are a sweet, good soul and I appreciate your thoughts and sweet smile. Merry Christmas and I look forward to seeing you in 2022. Annie

This brought tears to my eyes. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your courage, commitment and big heart to help your fellow Americans. I can just picture you so clearly..working so hard under such grueling conditions..and missing home for Christmas. You make me want to move mountains for you to make this right...but all I can do is tell you how much I admire you and how much you have inspired me today with your story to be a better more giving person. Merry Christmas to you Ann....every minute you spend working you are saving a life. Not many people can say that. You are a true hero.

Hello Ann how are you doing?

Susan, thank you and Desi for another heartwarming video 💕 I literally cried at the end when I saw you brought the beat-up snowman home from the thrift store. I was hoping you would as he couldn't find a more loving home than with you and Desi! A friend told me about your you-tube channel a couple months ago, so I'm new to learning more about you. Thank you for sharing your personal life with us about your birth-father, your brother and sister, and finding Bill before he passed, as those are videos I will go back to watch. I have seen a video of your precious Cooper, who was there for you at the beginning of this journey. I know Cooper can never be replaced in your heart, but you sure found another precious bond in Desi when you brought home that new little love in your life. Desi has certainly stole my heart too and I look forward to seeing the both of you every Saturday. Bless you both ☃🎄😇

Oh Susan, I don't know how your videos could be any better, they are just amazing little stories that could stand alone but you somehow weave them together. I am always happy when I see that you have a new one up. You and Desi have a wonderful week.

So happy you bought the snowman! Now, lessons learned. I learned that people really do value me, for me. I hadn't believed it, until lately, when I started a project that forced me to look at myself, physically, while just being the real me. Susan, you've helped me, so much, to step out and be the real me, raw, and real! And, yep, with tears, and laughter, and all the things that make up the souls we are. It's made me come to terms with no longer allowing anyone into my life who is going to try to manipulate me, and take me for granted. Of course, that's because I no longer take myself for granted. I'm 66, and this is, indeed, my Route 66 year, where I'm travelling down a highway that's cool, where I can get my kicks, and really start enjoying life! Merry Christmas to you and your sweet Desi, and to your family!!! May it be wonderful!

And if it is a subject that doesn't really apply to me, I can appreciate that you are reaching people who DO need it!! Since I was an only child, I do understand your growing up alone. So much that you say about that resonates with me. I mostly watch you on my smart TV, so you haven't seen more than one or two in the past, but for this one, I had to comment. Thank you for sharing from the heart every week, and thank you for the recipes. I can't wait to try them!!. BTW, the centerpiece is gorgeous!!!

Susan, you always life my spirits with your love, wisdom and encouragement. Thank you from my heart. The biggest truth I learned in 2021 is that dreams can come true. Last week, we finished moving to a sweet cottage, just a few miles from our kids and grandkids. I'm a cancer patient (doing well right now!) but I've learned to treasure every single day. I hoped and prayed to be able to live nearer our family so I could get to know my granddaughter and the baby that is coming next month!!! God in his goodness and grace, answered my prayer and I am incredibly moved by His generosity. I hope and pray you and Desi continue to enjoy this wonderful season! BTW I adore that little, raggedy snowman you adopted. Good for you!!

Another sweet and thoughtful video Sues...you made the most beautiful centerpiece.. honestly you have a talent for putting pretty things together in a way that I can't tear my eyes away from them. I ran into a darling girlfriend who I'd lost touch with this year and I thought I was having a glass of wine and a salad alone but there she was and we sat at the bar and laughed and cried and hugged and honestly, we couldn't be more different, but our friendship is so easy, sincere and nonjudgmental, that I cherish her. I had slept poorly last night, awakened by what I call night terrors, fears both rational and irrational, prayed and asked for sunshine today and a small change in a positive direction, just for renewed hope in 2021 and when I walked into the darling little restaurant, there was my sweet friend Ava, who had a son that she feels the same way I do about mine and I've never been so thankful to see a precious face. No one can make me believe God isn't listening to us when we need something so simple yet so profound as another soul to connect with. Merry Christmas to you and Desi honey and you've made such a cozy inviting place for your family. ❤️🎄🤗🙏

It seems these days, it is not very long of a wait when you truly hand things over to God and pray so sincerely from your heart. It makes it easier to believe as these answered prayers build on top of each other so it gets easier to believe and ask in faith with positive expectancy.

Susan, when I put your channel on today and your voice started my Mainecoon cat started running into the room with her full fluffy high tail - I think she loves your channel also! Who knew?? I’ve learned this year to take each day as it comes - and do what I can to enjoy despite living in the same house with my 96 year old Dad. I’m still working as a young looking 65 and that helps - and I go for walks on weekends with friends and try to just let him do what he wants. He craves independence and doesn’t want anyone telling him what to do and that including turning the TV down lol. Doesn’t want anything changed in the house so my decorating and remodeling is very minimal for now. He drives, grocery shops, and cooks for himself. I take him to his eye appointments because he won’t drive the highway and I wouldn’t want him to. So I try not to lose my patience because it only makes things worse. I’m thankful for a brother who fully understands also. I focus on dressing up each day - makeup. my stamp collection and taking care of my cat.

Such a touching Christmas video, Susan- an honest & openly so very kind & thoughtful; as well as filled throughout, with authentic gratitude🌲. I believe you've touched upon the often overlooked emotional background connection of this most special holiday season that is uniquely CHRISTMAS🎄 🎅🤶. 2021 for me is mostly about two words: Turning Point. Who knew, yes? I certainly had no idea, yet that's what seems to define this year in countless ways. Gratitude & thankfulness fill my heart & soul. 2015 took what felt like nearly everything that mattered, away. Now, six years later, I began embarking upon the new pathways of living once more & no one could be more surprised than me. I thank you for being a part of that. And- you ARE a good thing that eased me gently upon that unforeseen pathway to rejoin the *living*once more. [* shocked to suddenly be widowed & deeply in love*]. 2022 is a mystery to be experienced ...... embarking with thankfulness.🌟 Wishing you & sweet Desi a magical Merry Christmas.

Hi Susan, love decorating for Christmas bought myself a golden bling Santa, battery flame candles, cherubs and artificial flowers for my birthday. Feels so good adding special pieces around. My lesson I have learnt lately this year is not to take everything so personally. My new perspective is "It's none of my business what others think or say about me. I can only control how I respond and what I do. I have learnt to disengage from negative people and their judgements and behaviors. I observe it, learn from it, see if there's anything I need to change and move on without internal beatup's. I have learnt to get up like a duck out of water, shake it off and change the ending. Make it less, a minor nothing instead of a major head game. Desi looked extra cute today love to you both and happy spreading of good cheer.

Susan you inspire me every week. Every week I learn something from you and it amazes me how good I feel after I watch you thank you.

Your Christmas center piece looks really beautiful. Your friend/other neighbor will love his orange nut cake and the train decoration.We all appreciate and love you and Desi.Makes my week to sit back and watch your video.♡Merry Christmas to you and Desi.♡

Even as you chat with us, your eyes 👁️ give out that warmth of goodness just like your *home baked sweet breads 😇. You have decorations details giftitude right off the tip top! Your 'harmonious' subscriber friend ......

Your place looks Merry and Bright 🌟 🎄 !

What a wonderful video I new you would buy the snow man.Yes we were with you in your up’s and downs and we still are 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻❤️❤️

Omg, he hugged you! " We're all are a little beat up. We all are full of love, hope, and passion to live this life to its fullest. A little love goes a very long way.“. Indeed!

Thank you for your lovely videos. I have cried with you and said a silent prayer that I found your channel, so thankful I am to take this journey with you. As far as lessons - I have tried so hard this year to let go and let God. When it comes to family problems some days are better. Some days are so hard, especially the holidays. But I try. Your videos inspire and sooth. Christmas blessings to you & sweet Desi ❤️🎄🎅🏻

Hi Susan:) in August I went to a Phil Collins concert with my youngest son. We drove to North Carolina from central FL and we had the time of our lives! We had purchased the tickets almost a year in advance. When we got back I was sicker than I had ever been in my life! My home was decorated to the max with fall decorations! I was so weak my son and his dog moved in and nursed me back to health. On Christmas morning that year I finally managed to finish putting the fall decor away and I brought out a little tree and got it up just b4 we had our Christmas dinner. I’ll never forget that Christmas. My son cooked Prime Rib and yummy mashed potatoes and roasted asparagus. We toasted with 2 bottles of champagne! Love all ur chats😊❤️💛Julie xo

I am finding myself looking forward to Little Poet on the weekend. You make me take time for myself, to sit with a cup of tea, and visit you and Desi. It makes me a little teary to try to explain what I feel about Christmas, but here goes: When I was growing up, we had a silver, pom-pom Christmas tree. Every year, I would drag it from the basement, up the stairs to the living room, and decorate it. All by myself. My sister wasn't interested. My mother was busy, or working. My parents were divorced, so there was no Daddy in my home. Every year, it was just me, and the tree. I plugged in the color-wheel when the tree was decorated, and admired all of the colors; running outside to the front yard, to see what it looked like from there. Your attention to the little things, the pretty things, reminds me of why I did it. Even though I did it alone. I understand, and I feel like we all understand. This is such a nice, warm place to visit. It makes up for the times that I did it alone. I am comfortable with doing, and being alone. Sometimes, there aren't words. But there is the little snowman. There will always be (in my memory) the silver, pom-pom Christmas tree, and now there's Little Poet. Thank God for the most precious Gift. We understand that too.

You have such a gift in creating a warm and heartfelt video. If you taught a class, I would sign up!!! What an adorable snowman. Loved your centerpiece as well. One thing I've had to put into practice this year is patience. And planning. Sending you and Desi love on this cold winter night❤❤❤🤗🤗🤗

I've learned money can cause big problems with family. And with money it's meaningless unless some friends that value you and vice versa. Merry Christmas Susan and Desi 2021

So many others have already said this but I'm glad you gave that little snowman a home. I knew you would as soon as you talked about him:) I don't really have any lessons learned to share. Christmas is always bittersweet for me since losing my 9 year old daughter in 1986. But God blessed me with two wonderful grandchildren (now teens) that have brought joy back to Christmas. My heart always aches a little though for those I know who are hurting at Christmas, so I try to remember to say prayers for them. This video was so sweet....it's always such a blessing to have people to believe in you...and I know all of them appreciate your sweet words about them. Your bread looks delish and the centerpiece turned out lovely:)

You always cheer me up and I thank you for being you. Have a happy Christmas.

I am so happy I found your channel, I am 4 yrs out from divorce still struggling, but watching your videos has been inspiring to me! I look forward to your weekly videos and of course Desi! I look forward to the videos of the other bloggers, I watch these videos of women that are our age it makes me feel normal that I am not alone with what I value or think is important. I learned I need to have boundaries as I am too giving, but I do love my family

My biggest lesson I've learned is that no matter what, despite differences, perceptions, overwhelming circumstances, that my true friends love me no matter what. That my family loves me through the past echos of a girl that has been through it. The light of God lives in my heart and soul. My faith in God gets me through it all. Being grateful for it all. Love always shines it's light. I just have to look for it. It is always there. I find joy everyday, in little things that bring wonderful Christmas memories. Merry Christmas Susan and little Desi! ♡ Becky♡

You made that centerpiece look so easy to make. It came out so beautiful!!! I bet your homemade breads will be so appreciated!!. Love your videos

Wow I was already subscribed to Laura she’s such a sweetheart but hadn’t seen the other two. I’ve subscribed to them too 🥳

I learned we never truly know the people we think we know, if that makes sense. Thanks to you and Desi, Merry Christmas, I started watching your channel at MaryEllen's suggestion , I have watched your channel when you had Cooper, God Bless!

Your videos are like a warm hug from a friend! I plan on checking out the links to the channels of the women who so kindly gave you a boost when you needed it. It was so nice of you to acknowledge them and what they did for you. And thank you for the link to your music, I'm excited to hear it. Wishing you and the ever charming Desi a very happy Christmas!

I loved everything gonna try to the orange bread and ever so glad you got the little snowman he has so many of our age groups qualities have a great week to you and desi 🎄🎄💞💞

I’d rather talk about how much I’ve learned from you over the years. From skin care to oil paintings to trying different styles of clothes. You are so much fun! Okay okay I guess 2021 has taught me another layer of acceptance. Acceptance of the things I can’t do exactly the same way I used to be able to. A deeper level of being comfortable in my own skin…..instead of fighting to prove that nothing has changed It’s heavy yet there is peace I’m delighted that you still go back to your old place to visit the neighbor who hates you lol! I once had a grumpy man who wouldn’t but anything at our church bake sales because he wanted peanut brittle. I started making it and he bought all of it! Have a wonderful week Susan!!!

Hi Susan! I love, love this video! One thing I have learned in 2021 is that I am stronger than I know. Whatever life has (and will) throw in my pathway I will accept, conquer, and keep a smile on my face and love in my heart! 🥰

I knew you wouldn’t let that cute little snowman sit there when you have a loving home to take him to. I watch one of the 3 shout out ladies and will check out the other 2 die for sure. The centerpiece is lovely. Nice finds. The folk Santa in sleigh is adorable. This year was all about gratitude for me to the Lord for my blessings and keeping that thankfulness in my daily prayers. I pray I can make 2022 the year I drop a few pounds, seek new goals and “eat to live”, not live to eat. 🤦🏻‍♀️thanks for sharing as always Susan. Big hugs to Dez. You look beautiful as always. Can’t wait to try the breads. I luv orange so will try that one first.

I hope you have a really nice Christmas Susan. And I love the snowman he is cute! Love you Desi!! xoxo

Just started watching. I'm 65, dealing with the loss of my 29 year old son this past June, a hubby who is struggling with major health issues, and becoming more and more aware of my age. You handle everything so beautifully! I've enjoyed your videos. You have made me really think about this time in my life. What a wonderful mission you have inspiring others. We have much in common.Love thrifting and my sweet little Maebelle ❤ My little miniature golden retriever. I am an author, so many of the books you choose speak to me as well. Decorating is also passion that keeps me busy and THRIFTING. God bless you and have a wonderful Christmas.

Thank you, Susan! I am going to bake those two breads. You are a part of my life Merry Christmas! Love you!

Thank you Susan, you are an amazing role model for older women and you shine so bright!!

You reap what you sow.. Most think that as a negative. You are the positive proof, when you walk in love, light, kindness, and compassion. That will let you reap as you have sown. And Ma'am you have done it WELL. Wishing you a happy and joyous holiday season.

I just love that cute little Desi. He's so special. Happy Holidays to you both.

Merry Christmas 🎅 Susan and Desi. You have added joy and connection to my life and I deeply thank you. This year I am going to try to connect more with my fellow human beings and take a few more risks. With the pandemic, I allowed myself to withdraw. Now I am coming back. Thank you for sharing your life-the ups and downs. I just adopted a new kitty, Hattie. My beloved Emme died 6 months ago. I wasn't going to get a new pet but just went looking and you know how that goes. lol Much love, peace, and happiness to you. Hugs, Donna 😻 Hattie might be a gangsta in training!

Thank you too, Susan for all your sharing. I'm glad I found your channel. May you have a wonderful Christmas! That goes for Desi too!

Thank you Susan. I subscribed to all three of your gal pals. Much love this Christmas to you and Desi.

I look forward to your Saturday night video. It's always uplifting. down to earth, and entertaining. You are a gift to me and many others! Continued blessings for a magical Christmas and wonderful New Year!

Thank you Susan. I can’t imagine how much work goes into this. This is a very hard time for me. Seeing you is very important to me always, but especially now. God bless you.

You and Desi always warm my heart! And you bought the sweet snowman, so beautiful, seeing the beauty in things that others don't see, truly a blessing my dear friend. I thank you for all you have shared and I am so very thankful for you and Desi. The orange and banana breads look delicious! Your previous neighbor will appreciate that you thought of him and deep deep down he loves the banana bread too LOL. You have a way of decorating, you should have your own store! The Little Poet Store, it would be fabulous! Love and big hugs to you and Desi. At the end of each video, I see how happy, content and proud Desi is to do the outro with you and of course his cuteness within the video. I see how his eyes are filled with so much love for you. Have a beautiful week sweetest friend!

Aww, Susan, your videos are always so warm and genuine. Thank you so much and love to you and Desi. PS So glad you brought the snowman home :)

Awww, Susan, don’t cry…I know they are happy tears but I end up crying with you and boy howdy I’m ugly when I cry! Lol. As usual, another beautiful video. Thank you for buying the little snowman. It made my heart so happy to see it in your home. Virtual hugs for you and Desi!🎄❤️🎄

Susie you definitely have a wonderful creative gift and knack for decorating , gorgeous xx

The centerpiece is gorgeous ! Look forward to every video . They are all a blessing .

My Christmas lesson I learned for 2021 was I do matter. I honestly didn’t know that I did. I’m a different person today, this Christmas. Susan, Our Little Poet, is the reason. Susan, your videos came into my life just when I gave up, and I mean, I GAVE UP! With your videos, Slowly, I was finding the answers I didn’t even know I was still looking for! My Goodness, things started changing! I couldn’t believe it! I’m sitting here. I have a smile on my face! I’m not crying from self disparities! I’m getting my life back. Monday I’m going to the Dr. I have needed shoulder surgery for two years and put it off because I have to care for my disabled husband. Monday, I take that first step, to put my health first. My husband will be just fine. I’ve told his daughter he’s coming to her house for 6 weeks! Until I recover and rest.OH YES I DID! Hhahahahah! He will be just fine, and so will I! You know what Susan, when I stated holding my head up, changing that attitude, people started to take notice. I went looking up old friends from high school, and they were there! And happy to hear from me. I’m getting my life back! God Bless you, and I wish you a very Happy Christmas full of love and fun! I just love you and Dezi. I can’t wait for 2023! Because? I got this! Yes I do!

There is Something that drew me in ,,about this Lady …She is such a Loving Spirit and She is Gentle with her Presentation .. She Absolutely Loves People and her little dog is so Adorable ... She is All About helping other Ladies and Men Find Things and Lessons that Are helpful in this difficult Life We Live Day to Day …..From one Susan to another ,, Thank You

We share the first name! This was so beautiful. You may have started to help yourself get through some things, but your authenticity, kindness and down to earth talk and stories are what keep us all here. You are a rare gem. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year❤

I knew you'd take that snowman home! Merry Christmas to you & Desi! 🎄

:) You got me!!! Desi made me do it!

Susan, I have been watching your videos since 2019. I'm 30 something living alone like you with no family and no help at all for 13 years. I can't tell you how much you are spreading your warmth to our broken souls. This channel is definitely more than a chicken soup for the soul. It takes a lot of courage to be a strong independent women. I have written my comments before in your videos. Your channel is an encouragement for all of us women who are starting all over again. Yes to our fluffy kids! :) We are right here with you.

I rarely comment but I watch every one of your videos. You are the only channel that I get excited to watch every week. I love everything that you share. I truly wish you and your family (including Desi of course) a very merry Christmas ❤️
