I do think about growing older. As a breast cancer survivor, maybe I’ve had a different perspective. I’m 65 years old and salt and peeper hair that I’m thrilled with since I was bald for so long. I still get people asking why I don’t color my hair, that “they could never do that”.! It’s been so freeing to not worry about coloring my hair and I kind of feel sorry for people that feel the need to say things like that to me. Do I like my sagging skin? No, but I’m alive and healthy! For me, that’s everything! Thanks so much for this video❤️

[@subi1677]

I'm a almost two years breast cancer survivor. I turned 50 this year and decided that I'm going to keep my salt and pepper hair. Like you, I'm just glad to have it back😉. Losing my "looks" bothers me to some degree, but not being healthy scares me even more. I'm just glad to be here and I'm doing my damnedest to be able to enjoy it😊

[@lifewithsandrahart]

Congratulations and continued good health to you. . Unless someone has walked in your shoes they will never understand what you have been through. Good for you that you have let your hair grow in to its natural and beautiful color. Be happy with who you are, and I think you are at that stage in your life. You are a role model of courage for all of us.❤️

Next time someone says that about your hair, tell them YOU are the one in style and on trend. Honestly, its becoming quite old fashioned to color ones hair. It's considered natural and healthy to wear your hair silver; and ATTRACTIVE!

[@ladycactus110]

About age and appearance: I learned about the sadness of being unattractive as a child and teenager. To the point that even the principal of my high school told me in a private session that I better study hard, because clearly I would never get married 😢 and would need to support myself. Good times 😆. Having gorgeous, narcissistic classmates was much worse than anything old age would dole out. Perhaps it is easier to ignore the cruel jabs of old age when you have never put great stock in your beauty. Concentrating on doing (and not being) is the key to contentment. And sometimes I think the obsession of some people with their veneer is a turn-off. Barbie and Ken dolls are boring! You are right when you say that once you see a great personality shine through, the beauty radiates. Thanks for your thoughts!

[@gwenewing6837]

Reading your comment brought back hurtful memories of my childhood. I was the only girl with 3 brothers. I had an overweight issue. I had many friends and was liked by all, but the cruel things that I had to endure, especially as a child and teen were piercing. (I even had insults as an adult, from adults) The pain of these insensitive remarks are with us today, I feel it and want to cry as I write this. I never felt good enough. Thank you for sharing, maybe your comments were cathartic for me. God Bless!

@@gwenewing6837 I also was an obese little girl throughout grade school and high school, never picked for the athletic team, given cards of hippopotamus and elephants when we exchanged valentines in class. I never had ONE date in high school, went to college and had few friends and went home every weekend. NOW? I am 66 living in southern california in a fine home and used to have money in the bank, too scared to look and see whats left now...... I sit on three philanthropic boards, married a genius with a six figure income. Was asked to be the "mayor" of our little unincorporated town of 25,000..... I now embrace my early rejection but I can still remember all the mean words and the rejection....I know the pain.

[@roseyc.5846]

Ladies: I totally relate. As a child, I was overweight; as a teen, I was never one of the pretty, popular girls. At times as an adult, I had managed to put myself together so as to be reasonably "attractive", but now, I've had to simply had to accept the obvious signs of aging.

We are each unique and I have never met an unattractive person in my entire life, because always there something that is beautiful and amazing if you are willing to see it.

The old saying "Youth is Wasted on the Young" is so true! If I only knew then what I know now I would certainly have done some things differently. It's tough looking in the mirror when inside we still feel the same with the same hopes and dreams as when we were young. If our health holds out that is the most important. Makeup and hair can always been toyed with...good health is so important to enjoy life at any age!

[@moniquemonique3430]

Hi Sandra, I think you look fabulous. You know a thing I have noticed when I look at my pictures is always that I looked very good but at the time I took the picture I wasn't thinking that. A bit sad. So now I have decided that I want to appreciate how I look now knowing that of course things will keep changing but the inner beauty as you said will always stand out and sparkle through out eyes and personality. Thank you for having me reflect upon it. Have a great day. Blessings.

[@gwenewing6837]

I was so guilty of this. I never liked the weight I was at or how I looked. It is a terrible thing to live through. I look at those pics now and think oh you needed to value yourself more!

[@aliciasmith3844]

This is exactly how I am. I look back on my pictures and think..why were you so hard on yourself...I was very pretty. I now accept myself as I am right now. Great freedom in that.

[@lifewithsandrahart]

Monique, Monique. You are not alone. As teenagers and growing up as young women I think we were always exposed to models and very glamorous women and we compared ourselves to those. It made us not appreciate how attractive we were and how pretty we were when I looked in the mirror. It’s most unfortunate but I think that more of us felt that way then not. The thing is to appreciate who we are now and not be so hard on ourselves as we age. Beauty radiates from within and anybody can be beautiful if they believe they are.❤️

[@cottagecute3690]

Sandra, you may not be 45 anymore. You are a very beautiful 80 year old woman inside and out. I am really enjoying this time of my life. I am 60. I have a 36 year old daughter and a 34 year old son and five grandchildren. Because I have been there and done that I feel that the younger generations look to me and my husband for wisdom and advice. I do see my mother when I look in the mirror. My mother was also a very beautiful woman inside and out.

[@lifewithsandrahart]

Thank you so much. It’s just that when I look at her, I never appreciated who she was at that time. I think perhaps that happens to a lot of us. We are too hard on ourselves until we look back and see all of the wonderful attributes that we had. I, too, am really enjoying this phase in my life. ❤️

[@deborahjensen875]

Thank you for your advice. I was so busy taking care of everyone else in my 20's, 30's, and 40's that I didn't take very good care of myself. I am in my early 50's now. The quarantine has forced me to take a good hard look at myself. I am making some serious changes so that I can be active as I age. I think that is the thing that worries me about aging, will I be able to get around.

[@lifewithsandrahart]

Deborah, I think we all are fearful of what’s going to happen as we get older healthwise. But all we can do is to keep exercising, eat right, try to stay fit and keep our mental health and wellness in tact. Less stress, lots of sleep, and friendship. Those are three things that really will help us age better.❤️

[@fyreglo13]

About getting older, when I look in the mirror I sometimes don't recognize who is looking back at me... I feel that all the trauma I have gone through over the last 4/ 1/2 years has really aged me.. like when you see someone that you haven't seen in many years and you think "boy.. the years haven't been kind to them, they have aged a lot".. that is what I am seeing in myself now... I feel that I have aged more than the 4 1/2 years since he died.. I look 10 years older to myself... that's just my perspective.. my aunt and I were talking about this just the other day.. that we don't see ourselves the same way as other people see us... and maybe to others I look better to them than I do to myself... I am finding this a very hard time to get through with this pandemic and the self isolation.. I am a widow who lives alone. I am a home body but, when I felt the need/want to see my friends I could.. and now I can't... the thing I miss the most is the human contact that I get when I hug a friend.. the first person that I see and hug when this is all over I will probably break down and cry... hugs to you Sandra and Arthur.. hoping your children and grandchildren stay safe ... we will get through this...xo

[@roseyc.5846]

Hi Sandra: Thank you for addressing this extremely relevant topic. I remember that, at 45, I was still quite attractive and assumed I would remain so. I intended to continue to take good care of myself. Imagine my shock when I looked in the mirror about ten (or fewer) years later, and everything has sagged. I had cellulite instead of good muscle tone, and my facial skin had lost its volume...the dreaded "jowliness" had appeared. I became "invisible" to men my own age, and, being single, that was very difficult to accept. Still single; the vast majority now want young girls, even those with with artificial "enhancements". It's been tough to swallow, but, I suppose it's part of the process. I had no HRT at menopause, no botox, fillers, etc. I'm trying to age gracefully, taking care of my health, skin, etc. I know I'll never see that young woman again, but, if I live to be the age you are now (I'm 69), I can only hope to look half as lovely and elegant! You & Arthur stay well and safe..thank you, and God bless you both. Rosemarie xo

[@lifewithsandrahart]

Rosemarie. None of us can stop the aging process even those people that have fillers and Botox and face lips and whatever else they want to do to their face they eventually will morph and age into someone that is old. End of story. So don’t worry we’re all in this boat together and we just have to know that wherever we have wrinkles their smile has been and whatever their cellulite firm skin has been at one time. At least if we have our health and we can still think and talk and socialize and enjoy one another and our families, that’s what it’s all about. Nothing else really matters. It’s all surface stuff!❤️

I try not to think of aging, I take care of myself, I eat Whole Foods plant based, and have for over 25 years, I take care of my skin, and just want to be the best I can be at this age, and remain healthy.its funny because I look back at old pictures, and it feels like another lifetime ago, yet I remember each beautiful moment.

I am 62 and recently retired, March 8! I think about aging all the time, I have recently lost a good deal of weight and feel so good! Sometimes I think, who cares what I look like at this age? But I like the way I look and feel. I retired because I never really had a "passion" for my "job". I liked my work and was good at it, but it didn't ever spark joy for me. My mission statement for myself is: I have neglected myself spiritually, mentally and physically along with my husband and my home. These are the things that spark "joy" for me, and I do not know how long I have to enjoy them. I am going to spend my life rediscovering my passions and learning new things! I want to learn to paint and take a course in Italian and French, I want to read great authors! I so enjoy your videos, Sandra! You "spark joy" for so many of us!

[@lifewithsandrahart]

Gwen, What a wonderful life story. First of all, losing weight is good for your health. Forget that it makes you look better in your clothes and probably you have more energy. But now is the time to break out and to be you. Realize that you are worthy and you deserve the best. You deserve to follow your dreams. This is your time and it can be the very best time of your life. When you get older and you look back you’ll be so happy that you were able to use this time to grow. Thank you so very much for sharing that today. I hope a lot of women follow your lead.❤️

[@gretchensmith3981]

I am 53 years old. I have to tell you that I think, no, i KNOW, you truly are VERY pretty. I'm serious, you are quite beautiful. I do hate getting older. I try not to but it bothers me sometimes. But if i look like you in my 70's and 80's, i will be just fine. I love your videos; they also are beautiful; TRULY!

[@lifewithsandrahart]

Gretchen, you have really made me feel very good by your comment. I certainly am not the woman I was when I was 45 but I accept the aging process and I appreciate my beauty within and who I have become today. Aging is not all that bad!❤️

[@mariesymcewan7737]

I love your videos Sandra, so truthful and helpful. I am 51 and my beautiful mother is 72 she hasn’t had an easy life but she has came out on top her loving caring hopeful attitude of seeing good in everyone has made her even more beautiful with age We sometimes get mistaken for sisters lol which doesn’t reflect well on me. I can learn so much from people like her and your good self. The key word you mentioned purpose she always has something to do or study and she always factors in helping someone else a long the way. I cannot wait for quarantine to be over so I can visit her and give her the biggest hug. Humour is invaluable too I have been ringing her daily and because we both aren’t out and about there is little to discuss so we are exchanging corny jokes and just laughing. Thank you Sandra for reminding us of the important things in life. I don’t think beauty fades it just transforms into a different guise. Love to you and Arthur from Marie in Ireland 🇮🇪 x Stay safe xx

[@lifewithsandrahart]

Hello Marie. So nice of you to be watching the video today you are really right. The bond between mother and daughter is so very special You are so very lucky to still have your mother and that she has a great attitude. That will keep her young forever! I am so anxious to give someone a great big hug when this is all over the first person I see I’m afraid I’m going to be tempted to give them a great big hug whether I know them or not!😊❤️

[@evarodriguez1576]

Oh Dear Sandra, "Age"...I really try to make the best of it but I wish I could turn back time. I'm 65 years old and I actually get sad about aging. I wish I were younger but not loose the life experiences and wisdom I earned through the years. I remember not even liking my parents to age but it's a part of life! My three children are middle aged now and my grandchildren are growing and getting older too, realizing how fast time travels. There is a song by Cat Stevens "Oh Very Young" that is so true about being on this earth for a short while, listen to it if you can, it is very beautiful. We can only preserve as best we can. Another thought... just as we age as humans so do things around us. I always loved my elementary school I attended and now sadly it's a condemned building because no preservation was ever done. Preservation of our homes too is essential because aging is a process for everything. I do try to practice your message from your last video "Be the best that you can be"! Thank you Sandra for sharing the love and stay safe, Eva Rodriguez from Mission, Texas.

[@lifewithsandrahart]

Hello Eva, thank you so much for sharing all that information in your comment. You’re right, I never thought about it much, but things around us age as well. Even our homes if we stay in them long enough. I just think we have different chapters in our lives and if we are willing to move from chapter to chapter and find amazing things within each chapter we will be just fine. That 45-year-old woman is still inside of me but physically she has gone away but emotionally that girl is still here.❤️

[@INSIDEBEAUTYwiththeoldgirl]

Hi Sandra, I love this video! I believe most of us that are in our senior years ask that question every time we see a picture of ourselves from our younger years. The biggest thing that bothers me about aging is that the years and time on this earth won’t be long enough for me to express my love to my loved ones, especially my 5 grandchildren. On the bright side, I will still be able to send them kisses from heaven so for that I am very grateful. Much love, Sheila

[@lifewithsandrahart]

Shelia, I think about that too. One of my children is expecting a child in August and at 81 and I’m wondering how long I will have with this new grandchild and if they will ever remember me. That’s a really hard pill to swallow. But I love the thought that I can send kisses from heaven. That is very beautiful Shelia. Thank you for that.❤️

[@cathyjohnston240]

So true about beauty radiating from within! What bothers me most about aging isn’t so much my physical appearance, but how difficult it is to maintain muscle! I want to be physically strong so I can remain independent into old age. I’m 67 now.

[@lifewithsandrahart]

Cathy , that is really a concern. What I do is very easy. I lift weights every morning in my pajamas! I have them by my bed, so it’s one of the first things I do. We also have stairs in our home so that helps me build and keep my leg muscles besides walking.❤️

[@vshah9973]

I feel that my inner confidence has grown now that I am older and I have now got the time to work on myself and re-invent myself. Learning something new excites me. We do look older as we grow older but still beautiful. There is beauty in every one and I am happy to see the beauty in all people. Lots of love xx

[@2PuppyProductions]

I really appreciate your reminder that beauty comes from within. The best thing I can do to present myself to the world in a beautiful way is to have confidence and bring joy to those around me.

[@kathryngehrke3922]

As I have aged I mourn the loss of my looks and physical ability. Very most of all I think about all the things I wish I would have done, all of the things I could have been, now it's too late. That's what makes me really sad. I married young and spent the rest of my life trying to please other people.

[@lifewithsandrahart]

Katherine, , it’s never too late to start over and begin a new chapter in your life. We can’t go back, but we can move forward. Think about it. There is so much life yet for you to live. we all mourn in one way or another what used to be. But the important thing is that we have to move forward and except who we are right now and make peace with that. Best of luck to you.❤️

[@artfulyama9071]

My practice for myself: Maintaining a “joy of life” belief helps me to continue my self-care regimen consistently, which in turn benefits not just physical health but mental health and one’s appearance. Life progresses in stages. I allow my attitude to progress as i age and in these “senior” years, joy of life has become enhanced.

[@lifewithsandrahart]

So beautifully said. I can’t add anything more to what you have expressed. Thank you so much for sharing that today.❤️

[@sloanchessman5783]

Sandra, I love your channel and I enjoy watching all of your videos; however, this video really struck a deep chord with me. I am 55-years-of age, and my mother passed away from breast and ovarian cancer when she was only 57-years-of age. The females on my mother's side of the family don't usually live very long lives, so I feel like as long as I continue to have good health, I can handle the gray hair, wrinkles, flabby skin, age spots and whatever other physical changes take place. Watching my mother die at such a young age has made me so grateful for every day that I'm given that I don't want to waste one single moment of my life fretting over something that I can't change and that everyone experiences at some point in their life if they live long enough. It's all about maintaining my good health....both physically and mentally. Take care of yourself and stay well! 🤗💕

[@lifewithsandrahart]

Sloan, I am so glad you shared this with us. You are absolutely right. First of all I’m sorry that you lost your mother at such a young age, but that does not have to be your destiny. As long as you are vigilant about getting checkups taking care of your health through diet exercise and positive mind you have 99% of the battle won. I think a positive attitude has so much to do with longevity. Thank you so much for sharing your story with us today and I think you’re on the right path to living a long and purposeful life. ❤️

[@mavep2855]

Sometimes when I look in the mirror I see my Mother’s reflection and I ponder how that happened. Then I remember what a beautiful and amazing woman she was at every stage of her life and I am grateful. I inherited my platinum hair from my Grandfather and embraced it when I stopped dying it in my early 60’s. As you say Sandra, self confidence allows one’s inner beauty to shine. Thank you🙏🏻❤️

[@rosemaryboast3414]

Dear Sandra. That lovely lady is still there. Both inside and out. You are still that lovely lady. You always cheer us all up with your videos and your help and good advise. I am nearly 71. I mostly try to feel lucky and positive. My Mother died when I was 3 years old. She was only 40.So if I get a bit down in the dumps, I try to remember, at least I have been lucky to have had so much more then she did. But you will laugh, because what makes me grumpy ,is the fact that I have become so deaf. I have hearing aids, which I have a love/hate with. I seem to miss out on conversations and people seem to treat you as if you are a bit silly. I always say to my family. I am deaf, not daft. I wonder if other hard of hearing people say the same? I’m sure they do. Stay well and safe. Very best wishes from us all in the uk. Rosemary x

[@lifewithsandrahart]

Rosemary I’m so sorry you lost your mother at such an early age. That must’ve been very difficult for you and probably still has made you a different person because of that. You’re right we all age together and we all have to except what is happening to us. But it doesn’t have to be bad for aging is a beautiful thing it’s something we all go through we cannot escape it while we’re here, so we might as well embrace it. Thank you so much for watching today.❤️

70 seemed the turning point when I could no longer deny that aging was taking it’s toll on me. Everyday my look into the mirror reveals some new wrinkle, aged mark or sag that wasn’t there the day before. On the plus side, I am healthy and have everything I need and plenty of friends in the same boat. My big take away is that now that I am older, I understand what my Mother was going through as she aged.

[@lifewithsandrahart]

[@lifewithsandrahart]

Diane, hugging for me,too, is something that I genuinely miss. I hope it’s not gone for ever. Being confident in who you are and have a wonderful sense of self is the secret for a fulfilled life and happy aging. As long as you have that, then you will be able to live the best life you can while pro aging at the same time.❤️

I feel like I have aged overnight, literally. Even looking at my 59 year old and then 60 year old. It’s like if I spend 24 hours in a dryer. I turned from a juicy plum into a dry prune. I am 62 and still trying to figure out how to get accustomed to my new strange image. Learning how to switch from being externally satisfying to being satisfied internally. I think I love most of the gains of the age except for the mirror reflections. However, in my younger age I used to admire older women who represented a unique style and class. You are a beautiful diamond, Sandra. Thank you for sharing and prompting all these topics. ❤

Embrace the new and unique you! We are more than our wrinkles! Older women can have a special mystic about them. Confidence and the way we carry ourselves. Don’t be afraid to flaunt your own style because at our age we are over worrying about what others think. We are so lucky to still be here.

Enjoyed your video on aging. I have always been someone who preferred the “natural” look and haven’t wore make up since my working days, and then very minimally. At 78 years old, I look at myself and even now have difficulty accepting my aged body, even though I know is is “natural” to sag in places. So I don’t like to look at myself in the mirror! However, I do love to do crafts for charity, weaving and knitting. So this is what gives me purpose in life now, even tho I can’t do the things I once was able to do!

[@lifewithsandrahart]

Anne, How wonderful that you craft. Weaving and knitting are such a wonderful skills. Are used to knit and crochet, but I don’t know if I remember how. My oldest daughter does knit and I know how calming it is. We all are aging together, but that’s a good thing because it means were still here. We can’t fight it so we might as well just embrace it and make the best of it. Try to enjoy our lives each and every day and do as you do by giving and using your talents to help others.

I guess I think that all ages experience certain things in common but as we get older sometimes the things we worry about and are concerned about become more exaggerated.

[@beam8250]

You are as beautiful as you were when you were 45 y/o, in my opinion, Sandra! I am truly grateful that you share your wisdom with us all. Thank you

[@lifewithsandrahart]

I’m watching this and I’m glad that you enjoyed it. Thank you for your kind comment❤️

[@Premchik]

Dear Sandra, thank you so much for your channel! I think it is wonderful and so much needed for a lot of women, and you are very beautiful. I'm 50. For me the hard and painful switch happened when I realised for the first time (may me first 10 times - it is not an easy thing to digest) that I was not young and attractive any more. Physically. I am still relatively young and somewhat attractive, and I can preserve and enhance my beauty (which is important to me) but I will never ever be young again - I will not have that silk glowing skin, those forms - round and harmonious, that young fertile women have - and I will never ever be attractive in this way. It was a blow. And it was especially hard because at that particular moment my husband left me for a younger woman. But I must say that after I was past it, the rest was absolutely fine by me. I don't mind aging, I don't mind changing. I would say that it's even easier now, because I feel that the burden of the demand to be attractive has been risen. Now staying attractive is a choice that I make rather then an expectation of the society. So I'm enjoying myself now! :) (Sorry for my English))

[@lifewithsandrahart]

Thank you for the honest and very important message you have shared with us in your comment. We cannot reverse aging, but we can embrace who we are and love who we are right now. We will never be the young women that we used to be, but we certainly can cherish what we have become. Thank you so much for that. I hope a lot of my subscribers will read your very honest and open dialogue. Self-love is the best gift that we can ever give to ourselves.❤️

@@lifewithsandrahart Very true! 💖

A very moving inspiring video my sweet Sandra! Only you could soothe my soul!!! One thing that's been changing for me at age 64 is how fast everyone goes in all things all ways....talking too fast on the phone!!! Many many times I just say, "Hold up! Please start over and speak slowly!" They usually do but condescendingly sometimes! Lol, I just laugh at myself and I'm generally enjoying my role now. I'm more of a mentor now with 12 grandchildren! They look up to me where society looks down to me! Hahaha, Ageism is alive and well! I'm a feisty senior and living life on life's terms.💕💕💕💕💕

[@lifewithsandrahart]

Kim, I hear you. How wonderful that you have 12 grandchildren! What a dream! The bond between grandchildren and grandmother is so very special and your grandchildren are so lucky to have you as their mentor. You will live on through them for a long, long time. Thank you so much for sharing your story today.❤️

[@marysmith8876]

[@lifewithsandrahart]

Thank you for watching, Mary. Have a great day tomorrow.❤️

[@jamestalkington7434]

a caring hart to hart conversation is the spice of life😇😻🤠GOD BLESS you and yours✝

[@jgroysman1]

I’m 44 and subscribed, love to see the wisdom and peace and beauty. Gives me hope and relieves fears a little about the aging process. Thank you🌺

[@lifewithsandrahart]

Thank you for subscribing and I am so happy to have you here. Welcome and I know you were going to enjoy the other women in this community. Aging it’s a natural process and we must not fear it. We are only as old as we think and feel. Our beauty constantly continues to grow from within❤️

[@faziabacchus4138]

Hi Sandra, I am in my sixties, I love my life, very thankful to God for good health, I like to dress up and go for walks, have a snack, look at people going about their business, it's still a beautiful world, you have beautiful eyes....

[@lifewithsandrahart]

Frazia, it’s so nice to get a comment from someone who is happy with their lives and who is in a pro aging state of mind. Keep up your positive attitude.❤️

[@jeanetteturner7466]

I just keep asking where did the time go? I think I was working and taking care of three children. Then all of a sudden they were in college and gone. I’ve had a happy marriage for 53 years. I never dreamed I would be in a weigh loose program at my age. So, some things I’m happy about, and some things I’m not happy about. I’m thankful for my life, my children, and my six grandchildren. I do have some things that I’m really sad about, but too painful to share. I have a lot of anxiety because of the pain. At 73, I do think about death. I’m trying to get everything prepared. I’m a very organized person. I laugh with my children that I’ll be orchestrating everything when I die. I do not want a funeral, I want a Celebration of Life at our home, even though I’m a religious person. I want to donate my body, but I haven’t gotten that done yet. I look at my hands and feet and think of my mother. The longer I live the more I look liKe her. She was a special lady. I miss her every day. 💜Jeanette Turner, Brentwood, Tennessee

[@lifewithsandrahart]

Jeanette, I really understand how you feel. I had an interview yesterday with the woman who is writing about women who can and have achieved things in their lives. When I started talking I realized I’ve had so many chapters in my life that it’s almost crazy. My child rearing years, my television years, my acting years. My blogging years and now my KZbin years. And in between writing my books. Somethings in my life I’m really not happy about it either. Some choices I made were really wrong for everyone. But I guess that was my journey and your journey is what you have experienced. But yet, here we are sharing our experiences our lives and our journey together. Good luck in your weight-loss program, it will be better for your health all around. PS.It’s kind of awesome that you live near my son in Nashville, too. ❤️

[@jeanetteturner7466]

Life Over Sixty With Sandra I do hope I get to meet you sometime. I do live close to your son, and I taught school at Harpeth Valley which very near his home. 💜

[@lifewithsandrahart]

Jeanette Turner I hope so, too. It doesn’t look too good for me to be in Nashville this summer because of the virus, but I hope maybe in the fall I’ll be able to get down there for a little while.❤️

[@jeanetteturner7466]

😍

[@ana419]

What are you talking about? You're far more beautiful today than when you were younger! What's with looking younger? How about just looking beautiful? You got it, you're gorgeous as a diamond! ♡

[@lifewithsandrahart]

Good morning. You just made my whole day! Thank you so much for your kindness and I really appreciate your being part of this community.

[@gayleritter1199]

Some of your topics are so thought provoking and this is one of them. I don’t know why this is but every morning when I wake up, my entire life flashes b4 me, good and bad. The thing that is prominent is gratefulness because EVEN with the bad, I somehow I was introduced to the right people, doctors, events that eventually formed a new and more confident me. I have been so blessed in so many ways, most of my close close dear friends are dead now and I miss them terribly but I have such wonderful memories of them and the 50’s and 60’s. I was introduced to the Lord during my first cancer bout (age 38) and he changed my life. He showed me how little control I actually have and that’s another reason for my attitude. On a lighter note, as silly as it seems, fashion has always been a fun thing for me, I used to sew and even sewed for a yardage store to display items for them, I think if you have something that you do that makes you happy, it shows in all you do. Now, I hardly sew at all but I get such fun out of putting outfits together and adding jewelry, etc. My father who grew up dirt poor used to say “if you look good, you feel good.” Maybe my love of fashion comes partly from that. And, of course, there is your loving family and those wonderful grandchildren. When they say they love you, you crumble. No one has a perfect life but I am so very grateful for all I’ve been given.

[@lifewithsandrahart]

Gayle, thank you so much for your very heartwarming, honest and beautiful comment. I hope everyone reads your story and gets inspiration from you and your strength and your ability to be a survivor. I love reading your story and I always love getting your wonderful, wonderful comments thank you so much and I hope you have a wonderful week ahead.❤️

[@cherilynnsorensen3637]

I know this video is couple years old but wow you were such a beautiful lady and you still are Sandra I had a hard life when I was younger never felt pretty I was insecure just went through alot I just turned 50 this year sometimes I feel shocked I can't believe I'm 50 already I can remember when I was pre teen like it was yesterday where did time go .at my age now I have so much more knowledge Iearned self love for who I am and I am so much more at peace with myself than ever before when I started self love I was no longer a victim to domestic violence also or a push over anymore yeah sometimes when look in the mirror I see an older lady but ultimately I'm at peace thank you for your videos you super awesome I love your advice ♥

[@kimwade6249]

I have never been a beautiful person, just ordinary.. but even though the exterior has changed, I find that I much prefer the person I have become inside. I have accepted who I am and I am ok with it. 🙂

[@lifewithsandrahart]

Kim, I am sure you’re not ordinary. And I bet when other people look at you they don’t think that you are ordinary. We all are unique and we all have our unique types of beauty. And I know you are a beautiful person because of your comments I know that you were have that wonderful beauty that radiates from inside that makes you more attractive than you believe you are. Your beauty radiates to me. Thank you so much for your comment today and watching this video.❤️

[@sessions322]

I think you look more beautiful and fresher now. Thank you for your channel.

[@jennifernethery3841]

Sandra, you are more beautiful now than at 40!!!! Really, I mean it!

[@lifewithsandrahart]

Jennifer, Gee, when I look in my mirror I don’t see that, but I will take that compliment! Thank you ever so much for that.

[@MR-ho3mo]

Thank you, Sandra for being on KZbin and sharing your wisdom. I've enjoyed your honesty and willingness to share your innermost self. I live by myself and have felt the need to reach out and connect in as many ways as possible. I try not to think negative thoughts but they do pop up, now and again. Your videos help me think about my life and how happy I've been in the past.

[@lifewithsandrahart]

Thank you so much for watching my videos and enjoying them. One is never alone as long as they can connect, even through KZbin. Thank you again, stay well and have a wonderful day.❤️

[@junieb9161]

oh how your words comforted me, wow, I'm not alone. You were saying everything I have been feeling. Similarly, I had recently gotten out a younger picture of myself and propped it up so I could look at younger me everyday and everyday I'd stare at it and think to myself , where did this young woman go. Well, I thought about this as I listened to you and realized too that it wasn't just about the loss of my youthful looks but about my spirit, my confidence. I wanted to feel that again. And..... surely as I just turned 70, what now is my purpose. Thank you for sharing. I can't tell you how much it has helped me. I'll be watching this video again.

[@lifewithsandrahart]

June, thank you so much for sharing that with me. That young woman is still inside of you. She is still there but we have become someone else on the exterior and perhaps even wiser with more life experience. That’s a good thing and we should embrace it always. Have a great day today.❤️

[@roseyc.5846]

BTW, Sandra, you're so right about the online resources available to us, to help us stay positive and productive during these times. Many are free..they range from help with anxiety through meditation and guided breathing, to an endless range of topics and tutorials. We can learn much, and we can turn this time of isolation into a time of self-transformation in a positive way. Thank you again! :-) Rosemarie xo

[@lifewithsandrahart]

Rosemarie, thank you so much for sharing that in your comment. I hope others read it. Thank you.❤️

[@celiatube]

Your friends sound magnificent! Thank you (&them) for sharing the wisdom! Btw, I can TOTALLY see the 45 year old you, in you! & In fact, you might be even MORE gorgeous now!!! Personally, I've always had an odd relationship with the mirror. Also, or especially, with the photograph/camera lens... but aging, I've always looked at more logically. What bothers me most about the process... that I cannot change my mindset of basics, sleeping on back, and other such obvious tips! But, I'd rather work at my inner growth I guess, than train myself on some others fronts, in anycase... I'm so glad you are part of my beauty journey, and growth plan!

[@lifewithsandrahart]

Oh, I totally agree with you! Sometimes when I watch other videos I almost groan to think that I have to do all of these things to try to stay young! I am at the period in my life we are less is more. I don’t want to have to work so hard on my exterior to feel good about myself. I would rather nurture my inner strength and inner qualities that radiate from the inside to the outside so that I don’t have to work so hard trying to have a good image in the mirror. Does that sound crazy?❤️
