Thank you for sharing.

Hi Susan! Merry Christmas

Welcome to 75!!🎉 It’s great hearing from you! Sleep is so important, especially at our age. Happy Holidays! Keep riding!

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!

I saw someone tie carrots to a length of twine. That was good enrichment too!

He’s enjoying his alfalfa.

Making him work for his treats ❤️

Annie is beautiful! An Arabian? So happy for you!! D. McCall

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...

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

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 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!

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:)

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

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.

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.

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!

So where's the karaoke video???

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.

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 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 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.
