This channel represents ME (at least so far!) That means I post videos about whatever is on my mind at the time. Initially, this means I am posting videos about the Cancer Club, which is the name I have given to my support system as well as all current and former cancer patients in the universe. In the future, of course, the direction may change as I have many thoughts and feelings about many things that I find extremely fascinating and will be posting regardless of what other people think. Just in case someone might find it amusing, or thought-provoking, or simply ridiculous that a person would actually do this.
Admitting you’re wrong just might make you right!!
Humans have trouble admitting they’re wrong ever since they become old enough to know what “wrong” means. I have discovered a miraculous method to make yourself right, even when you’re most definitely wrong. What a concept! Politicians should try it🙈

A good night’s sleep propels me to posting after a long hiatus! To me this underscores the profound importance of mood, and our never ending quest to learn how to support a positive state of mind. Sleep isn’t the only factor but it certainly deserves your attention!

Hatred isn’t in our DNA, but fear is. If you don’t realize that you’re afraid, all kinds of ugly and dangerous things can happen. Part of the healing of our nation and, ultimately, our planet, is going to have to involve facing our fears of scarcity and the “other”. We can do this!

Love this! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for sharing.
Hi Susan! Merry Christmas
Hi George! Merry Christmas to you as well, and I hope you’re having fun wherever in the world you are😎❤️
@@susanhull thank you, just chillin here in Georgetown
Welcome to 75!!🎉 It’s great hearing from you! Sleep is so important, especially at our age. Happy Holidays! Keep riding!
Great to hear from you, too! Life gets so much more interesting after retirement lol 😂
@@susanhull Retirement is wonderful!
You Stated the grief and loss honors the loved one, it honors the self as well correct? I listen to this one often! These days I realized the pain of losing a relationship, it is lost only inside of me. The other person I believe is not even aware of the loss. But it’s so ironic, in the pain and loss there is a healthy freedom of letting go what it has never been.there room to love or relate differently! It is a very good video Susan!
Thank you, Maria! It’s now many years later and I fear losing Rosy as well…not really fear, but knowing that the depth of my love for her will leave me with an intense loss, but accepting that you can’t have one without the other. And you’re right, it can be hard to let go of a wish for something that we really can’t have.
I saw someone tie carrots to a length of twine. That was good enrichment too!
I’m learning a lot about horse nutrition and now must avoid too many carrots due to high sugar! But they still are the ultimate treat for my horses!
He’s enjoying his alfalfa.
I think they find this more interesting than just munching on it on the ground! Sometimes he’ll choose the ball over the stuff just lying there lol 😆
@@susanhull Many owners here do the same.
Making him work for his treats ❤️
This is considered an enrichment activity, I think because it’s a bit more challenging
Annie is beautiful! An Arabian? So happy for you!! D. McCall
Yes she’s just four years old. I’ve got eight beautiful Arabians ❤️ Hope you’re well!
@@susanhull We are! Thank you! So happy you finally have your horses. My mare is 25 now but has an arthritic knee so can’t be ridden but otherwise going strong.
Yes. I think Annie and I would really get along!
Hi Susan !! María gave me the link ..i am glad meeting you ...
Step 3 most challenging... I must admit I have several of the dragons you mention and you know what? I wanted right away to tell you ... oh but I don’t have that one or this one... wow..anyway good post Hull... self awareness and self observation which at times I over do, but what you added is: with kindness and compassion allowing the dragons to be train and I guess to train me to accept them as we grow healthy together... no dragons as i writ now .. but I bet as soon as I post it they will show up..... no do not put your thoughts out... don’t let them see you have dragons... now I say yes I do...
Hi Susan, Great Video. I love that you make the viewer feel like you are engaging thought with them and not just talk to them. I love step three. I believe that just like in the movies "how to train your dragon " specifically the first one, dragons were hated and seen as horrible creatures that destroy lives. Its true dragons can destroy us, but they can also aide us when properly trained. I believe another huge factor to training our dragon is determining for ourselves what that dragon is. I think training our dragon is harder when we let others define what kind of dragon it is. I was once told I was cold, this plagued me for days because I never seen myself as cold.... but once I realized that what the person meant was direct, which is a dragon I have continued training with, I understood and recognized this as I needed too and not for how someone else takes it. This makes a huge difference in my opinion because how I would approach handling one of those is far different than how I would handle the other. Again, great video, thank you.
@@dominiquewoods7835 Wonderful comment and great point about whose dragon is it anyway?
Thanks four your advise, I always feel guilty because I think a have to do more important things, and I want to fell free of that and not punish me all the time, thanks
Thanks for sharing! Isn’t it interesting how we decide what’s really “important”? Often it is based on other people’s expectations, rather than our own, so pleasing others is more “important” than pleasing ourselves. Why should it always be that way??!
It is hard to imagine but... if I could truly do so, I think I will stand taller, I will move freer and I will breath deeper ... worth trying ... I love your challenges....I find it hard though, doable but hard .... so why not try it...we will see how it goes!
I’m not saying we can eliminate guilt and shame, or stop them from happening. The idea is to see, and feel, just for a moment, how they influence you and your choices.
.....just for a moment how they influence you and your choices.... I like that....one “ shame” at a time one “guilt” at a time... thanks! 😊
Hi Susan, Thank you for the thought! A friend sent me the video, glad they did. I feel guilty these days for the same reason as you, in a sort of way.... like I should be doing more and that I am not giving enough. I've always been neck high in things I need to do, but now I am only waste high (haha). I feel like I am not giving enough of myself to the world. Without the guilt, I would still have the same obligations, so your post makes me question what exactly is the purpose of my guilt in this way and how will it influence me ? Thank you.
@@dominiquewoods7835 Thanks for sharing your experience. Guilt is a fascinating emotion, and it’s not always “bad”. Sometimes it really is telling us we messed up, but healthy guilt is only a signal and goes away once you get the message. Guilt that sticks around no matter what, and always tells you you should have done more (for “the world” or whomever), may be serving the purpose of getting you to ignore your own needs and keeping you in a little box that is defined only by what others need. Why does it do this? To keep you safe from the risks involved in becoming your own person, motivated by what you truly want, not what others need. It actually doesn’t care if you’re stressed and unhappy, as long as you’re safe(?) in the box. It sounds like you’re starting to work your way out of the box so it will try harder to keep you in. How we meet obligations might look very different without the guilt filter!
I know this.post from 2019 but pretty relevant for me today! I think you are cool anyway but then again like you say it is an opinion. I like how well you detail you the process of staying and recognizing the feeling and use the wise mind! I liked it a lot!! thanks Hull!
So glad it resonated with you! And thanks for your comment, and for seeking out a video even though it’s old! You prompted me to go back and watch it again...and I think it’s pretty cool 😎
I love your video and I took the challenge! However I notice I did it in “secret” and avoided writing a comment. I wasn’t sure why... but as I think about it I realized I am hiding and I am not free to be free...not open to recognize I can be dangerous and afraid . So thank you for the video and most of all for your courage to post this and challenge us... I am in ... I am proud to say I took the courage to send the video to many people I know and most of all to add a comment...so hopefully I will be less dangerous and less afraid... thank you Susan
Thank you!
Great message! Thank you for sharing:)
Thank you for your support! I hope you’re doing well.
I have grown to love the feeling of a deep purge! You can also take a picture of an item and have that picture to bring back the nostalgia instead of keeping the item.
Absolutely sometimes we are on top of the wave and sometimes we are at the bottom, but our attitude towards the wave can be neutral too!
Hi Susan Happy New Year 2020
Hi Nick and Happy New Year to you too! Hope to see you this summer😊
You look great. I went through a similar transition at the beginning of the year. I had a lot of self realization and began to purge things in my life and concentrate more on me and my life and working towards that. I do miss our talks though and you in general. I am so glad you are doing this for yourself, it certainly is agreeing with you 💜
Susan, so good to 'see' you! you're looking great and love your hair style. this is so relevant and thank you so much for this exercise and helping me to gain some insight into the meat and bones of what I feel sometimes. excellent conversation and thank you again.
Thank you, my loyal first responder 😊. I’m so glad that you got something useful from the post! And I truly appreciate your taking the time to say so.
I can so relate to everything you say. Your thoughts truly mirror mine, as to how I have always criticized myself, second-guessed, etc. I have so many times thought how there is a big difference between joy and happiness. My life was truly joyful for 10 full yrs, then it was taken away in an instant. Since that time, I've had some pretty dark days that I keep to myself, and not even my friends or family could possibly know. Ironically, I recently after almost 6 yrs of darkness, have come out of that awful haze of dark, hopeless, feeling worthless. I have always been grateful, or thankful for what I have, even in my darkest days. *true story-one time I was so low, I made myself look for what I was thankful for, and it was the way the sun was shining on a pomagranite in my fruit bowl.) The only thing that got me through was my faith. I discovered bird watching about a yr ago, and have become an avid birder. It truly brings me such joy. little by little, I'm getting there. thank you for sharing. You look great.
I so appreciate your willingness to share your feelings, Susan! And I feel glad that you are now emerging into the light! The moment of now truly is the one thing we actually have, and how wonderful to find that in a reminder from the sun and a fresh piece of fruit! I am happy to hear from you again.
Beautiful horses, look a little spunky too 🐴
How odd that I after many years have come to the same conclusion. I decided this will be my year of me, working on me, releasing the old to allow the new, turning anew leaf on life. Accepting what cannot be changed and going on to things I can. To feel better physically and mentally. I would love more information on the workshops you attended. Thank you for sharing.
Great advice, yes I think stepping outside of our comfort vex Great advice. Yes I think stepping outside your comfort zone and getting a little uncomfortable or a lot and comfortable is a good way to grow yet Still feel feel pretty awesome afterwards! 🐴
I love Monday... it is a euphoric part of week
Been there!!!!!
Great advice and awesome news. I attended a PTA seminar last summer and one of the breakaways sessions was a life coach and she described your "Dorothy" moment as finding your spark!! I think your new future adventure sounds fantastic! So glad you had a wonderful experience and happy sparking :-)
sent you an email as I'll be in San Antonio Sunday Jan 10 2016. Short notice but hopefully you will see it in time! Happy new year! Jock
Happy New year, Susan! great tips and advice for small steps first. i think sometimes small step accomplishments themselves can be a big motivator to take the next step, as well as a confidence-builder that bigger goals are atttainable. That equine course sounds fascinating. I would love to hear all about it; have a great trip!
I needed to hear this. I miss you Dr. Hull. :) And Brandy and I watched this video and we were right in guessing the phrase!
I did miss you!! Just be yourself and share from your heart here!! Too self conscious by your own admission!!! Like your friend at the LVHS reunion (Linda?). I too like spending time here and connecting with you! Its been interesting to me learning about your "internal drama" and your insecurities. I appreciate your openness and sharing!
Jock Bethune Thanks Jock! As I prepare for a week-long retreat into the wilderness (both inner and outer) I feel certain that I will encounter and face these parts of me that keep trying (less and less successfully) to hold me back. Thanks for your comment, it is very much appreciated. And now to post again tonight...
So where's the karaoke video???
Jock Bethune Now that you mention it, I might have to see if anyone still has a copy of it. I now have a totally different view of karaoke and those who partake in it! If I can't frind this one, I guess I'll have to make a new one. Wanna join me?
***** Would love to join you! I'm basically a "ham" when it comes to that type of fun and I'm not shy about it!!!
Jock Bethune Maybe we can sing "Runaround Sue"! I remember playing charades at LV Reformed Church youth group in the fall of 1961 and running around you as my clue!!!
Jock Bethune I have a related photo to share but can't share it here. Please send me your email to bethune2@flash.net. Thanks Sue!
LOL now you may be onto something with that app! interestingly, someone was telling me about an app that you can use that gives you a live wakeup call from a stranger if you don't like waking up to an alarm clock. Now I find that one a bit creepy. More than getting one, is the fact that there are users of the app that volunteer as people that do the waking up. oh cliffhanger with the theory about smell. the video cut off at that point. well, maybe you can explain that a bit more next video. I think that is probably very good advice regarding meeting as soon as possible because that way, you can't create too much of a fantasy. enjoying the series.(and you sure don't look 67!)
very interesting watching this series. I have to wonder about the mindset of someone that doesn't have a realistic view of a relationship.(the Australian that doesn't see distance as an obstacle). hmmm. good that you are learning a bit about yourself through the process.
You show up at the coolest places
I had a chuckle at the urgency that some may feel. very interesting following this little journey with you and look forward to seeing how things play out.
Oh my doc I love your posts, your honesty and your humor. Keep your chin up on the medical items I am confident everything will be alright. Looking forward to the next new adventure. Ttyl
I love the tangerine tip. It might just also be enough to take away whatever craving for something sweet that may be there. happy new year to you. glad that your projects and fun line dance class are things to look forward to. hoping that the liver function thing was a fluke for sure. I remember the days of the bedside bone marrow biopsies. not fun indeed.
Thanks, Susan, as always I appreciate your comments and also the fact that you hang in through the whole video! I wonder if there are any topics you'd like me to address in the future; if I don't know about it I'll look it up! :-)
I love this idea. I have already did one small change and I think it would be great if more people were to join. We could support each other
I'm happy to hear it helped you! A support system helps with so many of the difficult changes we all face in our lives. I'd love to be part of a community that shares feelings and ideas; maybe even comments here can serve that purpose in some small way.
I am so very sorry that this happened to you. But I love the way you are looking at things and you just need to remember they can take your material things but they cannot take the memories❤️
You are such a joy to watch. The title for the blog is a good idea just maybe tone it down a wee bit because this one scared me. Yes I know these comments are old but I am trying to play catch up. Love you hat. You look quite sexy.
Here is a BIG hug for you. And to sort of Shake me out a mood or stress I tend to take deep breaths and blow out the ugliness by slowly exhaling. I had a very wise person tell me exercise many years ago, but I will also try the one you suggested. I sometimes need all the help I can get 😕
I really enjoy your little tidbits you share. You say and do what so many of us want too but are too scared. It's nice to read about someone who went "beyond" and came back with no scars. Thank you for dhsring
I have done exactly that and gone the 'safe' route and as Kim mentioned, later regretted it. Gives us something to think about the next time we find ourselves in a situation such as this. Love your hat, and the pooch, all your candles lit too. Have a happy new year and sending a holiday hug(for a spare when you may need it.)
This information / confessional gives me courage and much to think about. I would have said no and regretted it, and how silly.
I feel happy that you receive courage from my experience. I would perhaps not call holding back "silly", but really urge you to see it as a choice based on imagining an outcome. If you imagine an outcome of feeling embarrassed, you may decide to hold back. If you imagine an outcome of feeling regret, you may decide to take the risk. Best news: you get to decide!
I would hug you - in front of Craig too! We have changed Christmas- and I don't know how to take it back - with societal pressures and young kids - it's easy to just go with the flow. It is somehow comforting to hear a similar thought from someone I respect. Another hug to you.
Kim, you're right about the pressures and there's no need to do anything in particular about it...just be mindful and open about what you really feel. Back at you with the hug!
