Seeing the world (for me) is trying hard to remember who I was when I was a child...I want to see the world the way I did back then. I remember who I was at seven...then I see myself today - yes, I'm grateful for all my "adventures" - but I miss that child - she is my truth...and I miss her - Anyway...I find myself at age 61 looking for safe and normal...funny the timing...I placed an ad in a few papers (searching for a home/apt to rent for a couple years while I save to buy)...and one of the requirements is I want a SAFE neighborhood - thanks for this week's message - I'm taking it as confirmation that safety (and normal) could be just around the corner - Please enjoy your week.

Laurie, Chantel here again (continue…) For the past few months, I have been looking for House/Apt to rent till I buy my home in 2 years’ time. And I finally found my nice apt in a safe area just few weeks ago and I have just moved in this April 1st!!! I called it my ‘STEPPING STONE’ home till my REAL HOME comes into my life! Such joy as I unpack my boxes of belongings one by one these few weeks as I knew in my heart that I am one step closer to my goal! Universe has its own timing for sure!!! Hope you are embarking on your wonderful journey too! It will happen all in good time!!🌷

My Grandpa died when I was five and even now, 60 years later I can still recall sitting on my Mom's lap while she sat grieving at the kitchen table. I was to young to completely understand death but I did recognize her sadness. I'll forever remember the warmth of her soft sweater, her arms hugging me as she gently rocked and her comforting my tears. There is nothing like a loving Mom to make you feel safe.

Hi Susan:). 10/31/23~. I had an extra special Mexican night with my youngest son and his Dad (my ex) and after all I’ve been through in the past year my youngest son is a very special gift from God and he always makes sure I’m safe❤️ He has been a bicycle rider since he could get on one and he at 40 and me at almost 72 have made plans to bike on my birthday! I can’t wait! We have a very special bond. Since all your wonderful videos I swear I’m feeling safe and grateful for what I have. Thank you🙏

Feeling safe and having familiar things makes me feel safe and happy, especially as a Widow now.

[@MyLivingJournal]

Every time I see Desi, he melts my heart & makes me tear up. To see how he has blossomed from all the unconditional love you give him. And I remember the story of how you rescued him. He is so grateful for his new life & lives everyday so happy & grateful. He is the cutest little guy & I love him so much. I had a basset hound named Barney for 14 years & he was my best friend. He had the biggest personality & always talked back to me with his barks. He was playful his whole life & never had a bad day. I have not gotten another dog since he passed 2 years ago. It was so painful to deal with his passing & it took me about a year to get over the loss. I love deeply & I have noticed as I get older (66), I am even more sensitive with loss. I am not sure I will ever get another dog but I sure love seeing Desi. My son has 2 dogs & 2 puppies so I get to go over there & love on them & my grandson. So, about feeling safe & normal; well for me, what gives me great comfort is knowing Jesus in my life & having the Holy Spirit reside in us. And reading devotionals & my bible. But also, one of the other things that always makes me feel happy & stable is when I listen to oldies from my era. It takes me back to those fun days as if I am there again. And that really makes me feel so young, especially when I dance to the oldies. I love to dance a lot. ☺🤗😍🥰💃 I love your channel. You are such a delightful person. Thank you for always sharing with us all.

Thank you so much for loving Desi! I just adore you so much for your comments here...they are so sweet. I am so sorry you lost your doggie...I know that can be so hard!

I moved to a remote mountain town 3 miles from my son at the beginning of the pandemic. I'd lost my son for 20 years but have had him 'back' for 22. My daughter, his younger sister by 2 years asked him, "are you ok with Mom being here?" He, without hesitation, said "YES! we can take care of each other." I'm 74, he's 58, do the math. My boy was born when I was 16 and it wasn't easy. But now, we take care of each other.

Children need guidance and reassurance of their safe and secure places, so when they're older, they can still find it, wherever they are. Thank you, Susan for making us think about these important things. ❤️🌻🙏

Also in my car, once the doors are closed and locked and the glass windows are up, and it’s such a safe, cozy feeling…. Of course, the tank has to be filled, or at least not below the middle line…. Weird places, I know, but those are MY PLACES, where I dream, pray, talk to myself, text, read….

I had a similar moment as your son. I'd just spent 3 years in England and decided to move back to the States. I had to move back home for a couple months to gather my wits and earn some money and I sat in the livingroom and felt a breeze thru the window and was totally relaxed, totally safe. Years later, I miss that feeling, and my parents. I am a little scared that I now have to create my own safe place.

[@LittlePoet]

Those are amazing words Kathy...and those words are hard to admit or even say out loud for many. I was always searching for that safe place and I think that is why I got married 3 times...and when my world fell apart it was just me and Cooper....and my camera. I turned to filming and I tried to scream at the sky and I felt every emotion on earth. In the end, my safe place was just like Dorthy's Kansas...I didn't have the ruby slippers but I did make myself a home....and I began to breathe and feel safe. When I see the women and children in Ukraine I think about it they will ever feel safe again....I adore you kathy. You are the bravest woman I know! I started watching your Wayne Gos video last night and have to go back and finish it. It's awesome!!!

I think that 'safe' feeling was not only a home/space, but the person that could make any space, any where, safe. There were many emotions when I lost my Mom at 90, but one was that until our last meeting, an inner peace would always happen in the greeting hug, and I felt safe, accepted, with a laser focus that was on her baby, despite being my 6th decade. I miss that, and try to play that emotion forward so others truly feel that acceptance as well. It's a gift.

Your comment on the secret to a happy life about feeling normal and safe really resonated with me. We’d moved away from the city where our children and grandchildren live about six years ago and although I enjoyed my time in my new city, I never really felt settled. After the last two years with covid and feeling isolated, we decided that we needed to move back to be closer to our children and grandchildren. After being “home” for the past eight months, I can say that I now feel settled, I feel normal, and I feel safe. I’m in a much better place emotionally than I’ve been for the past six years; I’m happy and I couldn’t say that before. So for me, being close to my family makes me feel normal, safe and happy. I’ve decorated my new home in happy, cheerful colours and have two rocking chairs on the front porch so we can sit outside and have our morning coffee before starting our day. Life is good.

Before you even started to speak I thought, "oh that beautiful green outfit!" And that cork leather bag is fantastic! It's nice, no matter how old we get the new pair of sandals, or tube of lipstick can provide such a lift, we look pretty, and feel pretty! Your patio area is so lovely and romantic looking, especially at night. May I suggest turning over a ceramic flowerpot lid and filling it with water for the birds and squirrels. I am amazed at the number of cardinals, blue jays, etc. come for a drink each day when they realized I was consistently providing water. Maybe that's what feeling safe means...being convinced your needs will be met.

Thank you for giving us a slice of your life. One way to help myself I found is to just to smile. It is somehow uplifting.

Dear Susan, I am a woman of 53 y.o and I am from The Netherlands. I watch your videos every week and I almost never leave a comment, but I wanted to say that you are a very beautiful person inside and outside. Please continue this beautiful and inspiring channel. XXX for you and Desi

[@jgm5249]

Dear Susan, I love your videos, your fashion style, honesty and Desi. I always tell my grown children that there's no place like home. It's true. Especially during the lockdown. We all somehow managed to make our house a home. It has become our safe place.

You look like a million bucks in the green outfit!

[@bonnietavenner621]

Dear Susan, you have such beautiful decorating taste, and beautiful taste in clothes, you give me so many good ideas. My faith makes me feel safe, realizing I am never alone. I see Desi wasn't well, so glad he's okay now. My little schnauzer is recovering too, acting like a puppy again, at 11 yrs! She stays active and rarely sits still!

My thoughts on having a happy life, I almost figured it out at 72 we need to listen to our own voice from the inside we need to make ourselves happy first honor our feelings dreams, and wishes, let go of those that want us to give up your needs dreams and goals so we can fulfill theirs ... the ones that love us will stay the ones that wanted you to abandon your own happiness for theirs they will leave ( that's a good thing ) How wonderful that Chris told you that I think often we ponder did we make them feel safe and loved, you will always feel the love in him telling you, Chris will always understand there is a safe place. Hugs :) xoxo Desi ❣❣❣ U The bag is awesome

Suz, I love ya, but if I could pick up that darling little doggie of yours... my heart would feel so full! I love him so much! Isn't this crazy? But I feel that it is true. He just made me smile so big watching him. What a precious little doll baby he is. I can't imagine him ever being any trouble for you! thank you for sharing him with all of us!!!!!

Dear Susan, your videos are a work of art. They are poignant, creative, romantic, peaceful, joyful. Thankyou. May you be continually blessed, as you bless others. Your son found safety in your arms, in your heart, in your love that only a mum (I'm English) can bring. ♥
