March Favorites & A Man From My Past Calls

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

March Favorites & a man from my past calls...so let's talk. Makeup, Skincare, and home decor...and a special painting are the subjects. I take you for a trip through my favorite park that is 3 minutes from where I live. I love it there...it feels likes home to me. So many people and dogs...and lessons of beauty, hardship, and joy surround me. I also share how an old friend called me and why we are meeting up tomorrow. Let me know below if you have ever had an old friend call and how did it turn out!
Thank you for being here, it means more than words can express...
Love from me and Desi Always..and always...

The Story of the Painting Grace was based on stories that were handed down to me and more detailed information can be found on different websites. Many facts are not consistent whether Mr. Charles Wilden was a " good" man. He was paid $5 to sign away his right to the picture and painting. He could have had thousands... but never came forward. Although it is not disputed he was a peddler who sold shoe scrapers some question where the original picture was taken. To me, all this is deeply irrelevant. The painting represents what we all see reflected back to us. We will see and feel what we need to in the painting. I see Mr. Wilden as a good hard working man going door to door selling show scrapers in the winter of 1918. Those that would later discredit him after claiming " they tried to track him down to give him money" make me skeptical of their claims that he was " difficult and drank too much". I love this painting because of the emotion it stirs and the inspiration it gives me to always remember to be grateful and hopeful...and I am not alone in my sorrow, fear, gratitude, and hope for a better day for me, my family, and my fellow human beings.

    A great guy I had a major crush on in high school (we even went on one date - I invited him to a Sadie Hawkins dance) went our separate ways at graduation. (He never asked me out after the dance, because we were different religions (1964)! I lived in England and had left our home town for over 3 decades - and I became separated from my ex, and moved back to the USA. We had seen each other only twice in 40 years at HS reunions. My mother passed so I flew back to my home town - and HE SHOWED UP at her funeral to pay his respects and to see me! I was bowled over because I always assumed he didn’t care. He was divorced for 6 months and I was going through my divorce. I flew back to Massachusetts. He was in Ohio. He contacted my brother to get my address and began writing to me. Then he called regularly and it was like we’d never been apart. End of story: He asked me to marry him - that was 17 years ago and I have come full-circle, back to my hometown but with him! Life is so full of surprises - you just never know what’s around the corner! Susan, I 💕you and hope you have a wonderful meeting with your old friend tomorrow!! 🥰🙋‍♀️👏🙏💞

    The sign - Family is Everything.... As someone who does not have family, when I see a sign like that, I do not feel bad. And as someone who has not had a close relationship for various reasons with my family it is kind of an issue of "You don't miss what you never had" . I think family would be great but I cannot imagine what it is actually like as I have not had that experience with a biological family,.. I do agree with the saying "You make your own family," I have had numerous people in my life that I do consider family and cherish that.

    I did not receive a call, but I made a call. I stumbled upon my best friend from high school via Facebook. She was struggling with a second round of metastatic breast cancer. We connected and were able to spend good time together. I am so very fortunate to have rediscovered her and spend time with her before she passed away. I am so excited for your visit with Hal. I also love the story about the painting and isn’t it interesting that in 1918 there was a worldwide pandemic... just like now. Thank you Susan for another beautiful, inspiring video. XO

He would call and check on us and make us laugh and smile and send flowers for years after my husband passed. I was to see him last July and was so excited. Unfortunately, he suddenly became ill and passed away. He was the best and we so appreciated him. Love every moment with every chance you have with your friend. ❤

    Susan, when I was 15 yrs. old I was so in love with this older guy. He was 18 and I thought I couldn't survive if we couldn't be together. Of course my parents would never allow such a thing. We'd sneak and talk on the phone every chance we got. I'd see him every day at school, mostly passing in the hall while going to class. He graduated and I never seen him again. 47 yrs. later he found me on face book. It was so good to hear from him. The first time we talked on the phone, my heart was beating just as fast as it did years ago, lol We had such a sweet conversation. He calls me at least once a month to check on me. It's so exciting every time I hear his voice. It is good to connect with old friends or boyfriends. I hope you have a lovely time catching up with your old friend. Have fun!

    I get those calls or Facebook friend requests often. But just this week I missed a phone call while I was in another part of the house. When I checked voicemail, it was the voice of my best friend from high school (and beyond) saying, "I'm in Myrtle Beach, driving down 17, and I'm filled with memories of you and our beach vacations. Wish you were here." I called her right back and we had a lovely talk.

    Those pajama pants are beautiful. I don't care that we cry at silly things, or beautiful things or just a song, a picture or a warm breeze. Those tears lets us know we are alive and that beauty is still in our world. What a beautiful story about the old man. I think when we see old things like that, it comforts us and the familiarity is a security to us. I saw a little ceramic Christmas angel in an antique store a while back that looked like it was made in the fifties. It brought such a feeling of home and my mama that I bought it. It was really nothing but a little piece of junk seemingly but I was so much more in it. Have a beautiful time with your old friend. Those friends are gold.

    Does a call from a family member fit. I lost my uncle back in February and his death has reunited 2 of my cousins. And it's the best feeling in the world. We hadn't talked since we buried my dad 30 years ago. We grew up together and lost touch. Never from the mind or the heart. We spent 6 hours on a 3 way call one night last week and we caught up. I told them it was a gift from my uncle in heaven. If we hadn't come together to honor him, it probably wouldn't have happened. I'm suppose to be tough as nails. I'm from NYC..My son calls me toughy. Can you imagine? But guess what? I cry easy. Lol. I'm always crying with you. You have a wonderful time meeting your old friend. It will be like time stood still. Sues, thankyou for such wonderful videos and sharing your beautiful self with us. A notification from Little Poet always makes me smile. Have a good week. Hugs to you and Desi..🤗

I hope he gives you all the slides. I love the scent of lilacs. I wish I could find a perfume that smells like a real lilac. My Mother used to mix different perfumes together. Women she worked with would love how she smelled. They always wanted to know what she was wearing. She couldn’t tell them because she would just mix things. Love the wall pockets. The black one is beautiful. Also love the painting. I didn’t know the story behind it. I choose to see a sweet man praying over his food. Giving thanks to God. Love you, Lucy

    Susan, I just have to say that you made me cry in this luscious video. Your description of the painting of the ole man praying over his bread made me weep! So, you know what I did.....I ordered it! I just moved and I have the perfect place for it. I have seen this painting so many times before, but until I heard your description, it presented itself In a whole new light! Thank you for that!! I don’t have any stories about someone calling me from my past, but ironically, since April is National Poetry Month, I posted on my Facebook page, just today, a poem that I wrote and what inspired me to do so. If you have time, go check it out. It does tie into a man from my past. Many Blessings, Janette

We started spending some time together and it was like time had never passed, even though it had been probably 25 years since we had actually seen each other! Oh, and did I mention that her brother was my High School sweetheart? Now, she is giving a gentle nudge to me to try and reconnect with him , since we are both single now! I am mortified! LOL!

I just saw your video of you first getting Desi. So touching I cried. Something else, Susan, I don’t always read all your viewers comments, but I am so impressed by them.

I make a point of only talking to him on the phone because he has someone in his life so I respect that boundary. He will stay so dear in my heart forever. I am glad I had at least one true love in my life. Thanks for your videos and God bless you!!!!
