I have had people say to me so many times over the years, you are so dressed up. Well, that is just the way I am. It makes me feel like I have it together, well because I look like I have it together. Yes it takes more time but that is just the thing I do for me, and I have learned that I am never going to change so I have ACCEPTED IT. No,I am not overdressed, the rest of the world is under-dressed is my motto.
Linda Turner: I get this all time and agree with your comment “The world is under-dressed” and not very well-groomed. Little wonder Europeans refer to us Americans as “Ugly Americans”.
I love your comment. I am the same. I am usually suspicious of anyone who calls me out for being “over dressed.” Usually this person is feeling shamed by my effort. Appropriate is always good, but I don’t think being “over dressed” is mostly a thing. 🙋♀️
@@rockforester7908 sometimes when people are in pain it is hard to walk let alone "dress" up. How about your philosophy " why do I care what other people think. I'm comfortable as I can get.
41 years ago I married a man 8 years younger. Everyone said it was a total disaster. I wasn’t . He’s still the best thing that ever happened to me! We are so happy. We have health challenges and we lean on each other. We have two beautiful daughters . Beautiful grandkids. Had we listened to all the “advice “ we never would’ve been where we are!
In my sixties, I've retained a policy of putting myself together before leaving the house. Even to walk to the corner store, I feel confident if I see a neighbour, they will consider me put together. It's no surprise to hear compliments from my neighbours that I carry an easy glamour. Pull yourself together on the inside, even in your darkest moments, and the outside comes together naturally. Thank you for this inspiring fireside chat. ❤
I love your comment! I love the concept of “easy glamour.” Why have I not heard this before?? I am exactly the same as you. And as you well know the first time you leave the house looking like hell for a 10 min errand you WILL run into all the people you do not want to run into! Lol!! 🙋♀️
I'm 63, just found you, and really enjoy watching and listening to you. Your a beautiful, kind and gentle woman. Thank your for the help. Much appreciated.
Pamela, Welcome ! I’m so happy you found me and let me know you are here! Thank you so much for coming g along with me today. I hope I see you here often!! ❤️ Sandra
Hi Sandra How lucky we are to have someone like you to listen to. I don’t feel guilty about having closets filled with clothes. I sacrificed and put my life on hold when I became a single mother in my 20’s. I also worked very hard supporting my mom when my father died in his early 50’s... As a runaway at 11, I barely made ends meet working in a Cuban cafe. As u can imagine, I passed for a girl of 18. Like u, I longed to live a life of luxury and because of this did things that were foolish and at times very dangerous... Thanks to a basic good nature and pretty high intelligence, I used my street smarts to start my first company. From then on, music , the arts and fashion played a big role in my life. This is the time I have waited for . I have only myself to answer to and I feel fine about spending money to enhance my lifestyle. That being said, one of my biggest pleasures is random giving. Having known what is is to go hungry for days has made me very sensitive to a persons’ suffering. I myself never had issues with drugs or alcohol, but understand how some find this as a means to cope with their pain. Someone told me a long time ago that Capricorn women have old souls and look older when they are young, but get younger as they grow older. So far , so good... Warmest regards, Ana Sophia
I am in my late 60's but the 2 most glamorous smart ladies I currently know are in their 80's, they dress so well but will buy from charity shops, they have their hair nice and keep themselves active and interesting, yes they have wrinkles but they have a wealth of experience and character.
No matter what kind of skin care we use, wrinkles will come but they won’t define us. One of the most favorite things that I love to do is to thrift shop. I love charity shopping whenever I visit my daughter in Chicago.❤️
My grandma said something I will never forget, “be kind, if you simply be kind you never have to feel ashamed of your actions”. And as a child I didn’t truly understand her. But no one knows what kind of day your having, what kind of horrors another is facing. But if we are kind, we never have to feel shame in our own actions if we find out about another’s misfortune. I am sure that my granny had many wise sayings for me, but this is the one I have tried to live by.
Mae, welcome and I’m so happy to have you. I know the rest of our community is, also. You are never too young to be interested in life and trying to lead a more purposeful one. Welcome again❤️
She is ageless! Where has she been my whole life? I'm glad to have this advice and I'm 50. I just love her. Sandra has taught me to enjoy my own company and to love myself.
I just love you Sandra. I’m 70. I had a stroke ten years ago. Lost my whole left side. Got a lot back but still about 2/3 off and gave to be careful. I look ok but hate the Tully look early morning. I love your hair. That was always my favorite style that you have. Your skin is nice. Your attitude is awesome. I enjoy listening to you speak. I wish you were my neighbor. I used to have plenty of money. Just S S now and tiny pension of my husband whom I list last year. I have grieved since that day but going on. I believe he contacts me lovingly a lot. We loved so deeply and worshipped one another. He was my everything as I was his. You give me courage. You nourish my soul. God bless you beautiful. Cate
Thank you so much for commenting. I am so sorry that you had a stroke and that you lost your wonderful husband. Those are things that would make anyone grieve. I know that because he loved you he would want you to continue on and try to live the best life you can. I know his spirit and his love will always be with you in your heart.❤️
Dear Sandra, To me you were talking about responding to life instead of reacting to it. I am a 44 year old male but to me your advice was universal! Your video came up in my feed and I'm glad I listened.
Exactly. That is a really important observation. My son is 47 and he just texted me about the same thing. Thanks so much for watching and sharing your thoughts. Sandra
"OVER 70 still glamorous" --- HI SANDRS, GIRL ! you said a mouth full and you are SO RIGHT! BE yourself.as you may know Im a VINTAGE person and I hate to shop but I have EVERTHING I need and could want. ORDER is sooo important, a messy home is a messy mind and in my opion the MOST IMPORTANT thing is if you dont KNOW THE LORD you dont know anything. hug connie
Oh Sandra....very very profound advice :) and great video. When I was younger I did look at other women and think " boy they have it all together" and I would feel inadequate....and then one day, it changed. You are right, nobody has it all together...life is tough for everybody...and we spend a good portion of our life hiding our discontent. I think of you as a woman who finds great joy in many things. I think it's the bitterness that can sometimes come with age that needs to be denied at all cost. Joy and curiosity make us want to buy that planner and calendar block our way to a busy meaningful life....thank you for this Sandra....I think this video is just what I needed....xxooo Love to you, Sues
Susan, I have found that sometimes the more together someone looks, behind that facade their life is a mess. Stuff happens in life to keep us striving, but in this life it is always a challenge, isn’t it. Love to you and Dez!!! ❤️. Sandra
LittlePoet So agree 😊 Stay Curious I always have been and still Am . That’s Why I started my TH-cam Channel . I Love learning , Sandra you are a wonderful teacher . Try not to compare yourself with others as you will always find better and worse . I’m finally comfortable in my skin at over 60.
I wish you were my mom! ❤️ You are exceptionally beautiful, glamorous and very classy! It's a treat to watch you! Don't know how i got to your channel yesterday but it was a blessing. 38, mom of two girls (2 & 5), forever busy, very frustrated and absolutely no time for self. My own mom never gave me the advice, love or tips as she is a Narcissist, toxic kind.
Well, I’m happy you found me, however it happened!! I raised two daughters as well, so I know what you are going through. In the end though, it’s all worth it! ❤️. Sandra
You have become an important of my life, and I look forward to seeing you. You are a sweet uplifting angel sent to us who need your guidance. Sincerely, thank you. 🌝
Thank you, Sandra. I needed to hear this video. At 62 I’m still waiting to grow up by having it all together. It’s not working out that way and I find I’m disappointed for not being like a few women I know mostly through their Facebook or TH-cam posts. I needed to hear that none of us have it all together and it’s okay.
I am on Facebook, too, but No one puts their real lives out there and no one I have ever met in my life has it all together. You may be more together than the women you see in Facebook! Did you ever see anyone post an unflattering selfie...😊. ❤️. Sandra
Oh Elaine! I am a little older than you and I have positively nothing together including in the areas of job/career, fitness, nutrition, social life - nothing. My hair is always a mess since I was a child & I love it!! But having said that, I live the life of a far younger person. I’m a freak, I’m a weirdo…. I am only with younger men, I roller skate on the sidewalk, I go overseas by myself and I devote my life to animals. My place is very clean but a mess & I ‘ve done & continue to do the things I’m told I can’t do. I have feeling you’re just fine but don’t it yet! 🙋♀️
Hi Sandra thanks for all your words of wisdom. I sometimes find myself being jealous of younger people’s youth and beauty but realize they are lacking our wisdom and life experiences which are so important! Take care!!💕
There is one BIG problem with our generation and especially the coming ones, is that - we have stopped listening to our elders and by elders I do not mean WWII veterans, baby boomers...no, no, no. We have stopped listening to our parents, our aunts and uncles, our grandparents - people who have seen a little or a lot of this life... And it is resulting in our incapacity of seeing that life is fleeting. We end up investing our time, our money, our attention, our whole being into stuff (hate the word though) that has absolutely no value, no teaching moment, no edifying power. I do not have a grandma, my dad died when I was twelve and my mom passed away last year...but I dearly miss talking to them, listening to them, hearing what they have to say! So...hurray to you, lovely Sandra! We are here to learn and please tell us more!
Great advice! So true about moving your body. I have been going through bouts of depression and sometimes have stayed in bed for weeks and this just makes me more lethargic. Once I basically force myself and drag myself out of bed and start moving, whether it’s taking a shower, going for a walk, washing dishes, going out to my garden, just moving...I start to immediately feel better. It’s just so hard to get going at first that even the thought is exhausting. Anyone who’s suffered from depression will know what I’m talking about. Ive said it before but your videos are such an inspiration to me and I’m sure to others. So thank you, once again! I love the top you are wearing. The color looks lovely on you! ❤️
How smart you are to realize that movement and getting out in and doing something really does help relieve depression. Lying in bed just increases it and makes it worse. Depression is quite debilitating and the proceeds from all of my books goes to research for depression and other types of illnesses. Please try to remain active and interact with others because it does help. Thank you so much for sharing today I am sure it will may help a lot of others in this community.❤️
I sooo needed this video. Thank you for your words of wisdom and for sharing. I started watching, had to pause, and watched it from the beginning again.
Thank you for reminding me that most decisions are fixable. I get paralyzed by decision-making sometimes, and fear that I'll make the wrong choice for my life. I appreciate your wisdom and thank you for sharing what you've learned 💜💜💜
Holly, Sandra is giving great advice here! Almost everything is fixable! My life feels like a series of huge mistakes that I keep making. I do better just jumping in most of the time. I also rarely ask others “what should I do.” This has been useful to me as well. 🙋♀️
What a wonderful message! I'll be 70 in a couple of months and I've learned over the years that some people are often putting on quite an act. Occasionally I've discovered their lives are a mess "behind the scenes" so to speak. The world is but a stage and we are the players. I forget who said that. LOL Hey I think I'll take myself out for a walk tomorrow....and maybe lunch! Great video. 👍
Sandra you are such an inspiration. After just turning seventy I’m still learning what is important. Thank you for your Chanel keep teaching us and God bless you ❤️
Thank you Dolly. I just try to share and talk about things that those of us need to share with one another so that we can live the best life possible. ❤️. Sandra
I really respect the way you perceive yourself and how a woman your age should wear but I think is also ok if the figure permits to keep wearing modern stuff, I'm 70, and color my hair and dress young so my point is wear things that make you feel good and dont think that over 60 you have to feel like a grandma🤣
Norma bermudez YES! I’m 58. I dress my body type and personality, I don’t dress according to my birth certificate. I hate the phrase that older ppl should dress “age appropriate”
I’m currently wearing something I wore over 20 years ago and do you know it makes me feel more like my old self but with greater self knowledge and my outfit was so admired isn’t that amazing.
Dear Sandra, you are sooo life affirming. I could listen to you all day, as I never grow tired hearing your thoughts! Thanks for your valuable presence here on the internet. You truly are a gift to many. Have a blessed day!
Great video Sandra. Over consumption can also be consuming advice or looking for external validation. That takes power away from us. Going with your gut, trusting your own decisions, and being your own counsel is powerful and is part of the foundation for having it all together. I consistently spend time with myself (date with myself - day trips into Toronto, The museums, the art gallery, etc.) My mantra for feeling together is a quote from my Dad “Take care of yourself. Do what’s best for you. And, don’t jeopardize what you have built for yourself.” I share this profound message with my female friends and colleagues and on my TH-cam channel for women working after sixty.
Good morning Sandra. Enjoyed this very much!! The more birthdays I have, the more I realize what is truly important. The best feeling for me is to have inner peace. Yes, no one has it 100% together, even though they may appear they do. My calendar is one of my best friends. If I write it down (by hand) I am more apt to do it. Blessings, and love, my friend...MaryEllen
Hello MaryEllen, I think today with iPhones and all the digital ways we store information, the calendar has lost its importance. I know that I can manage my life so much better with a physical planner. I think you are right. Writing it down somehow is easier to remember somehow. No matter how it looks on the outside, having it together 100% is a dream! Love you my dear friend. ❤️. Sandra
I certainly enjoy you pod cast......I want to say that I was in the retail business for 25 years. One thing that I noticed far more than any other is that women no matter how beautiful, slim, well dressed hate something about their body. Most just hated their entire body, but it was consistent through all ages be they 20 or 80. Although the older the women the less concerned about their scars that may have happened through the years
Hi Sandra! How true! Life is not about acquiring material things. It's about acquiring peace and embracing the beauty of each new day and the simple things of life. I retired at 73 a year ago and am enjoying every minute of the day. Wish I had done it sooner! Thank you for your inspiring videos! Blessings!
Such lovely and motivational thoughts from a very lovely and inspiring lady! I loved this wonderful video Sandra. Thank you so much for sharing yourself with us. Your mention of carrying a small calendar recalled sweet memories of my dad. He always carried a small black calendar with him which contained not just his appointments but loved one's birthdays, important phone numbers, Bible verses he loved and other favorite quotes. I am taking myself on a date today, thanks to your video. I've wanted to try a new yoga class for the new year - today is the day! Bless you Sandra for enhancing and brightening so many lives. - Robyn in Stillwater, MN
Robyn, What a tender memory of your father. They were so smart in those days and little notebooks were so important back then. My grandfather always carried one in his vest pocket. Enjoy your date. You will be in good company!😊. ❤️. Sandra
Clean kitchen & the bed made starts my day off on the right foot. Now if I could only convince the others who live in the household of that fact, life would be perfect.
Thank you so much Sandra for your sweet encouraging talk tonight....I sure needed your message. Life has kind of kicked in a little heavy this last year or so and although I'm true to my Recovery from Codependency ....I've allowed my confidence to be greatly over shadowed and have taken on a few false beliefs about myself. I use to appear pretty well kept as you do Sandra and enjoy doing those daily girly things like our hair...picking out an outfit to wear or sewing a cute little wardrobe for myself. And, my Mother use to straighten up before bed time and I have the incentive to start that again after listening to you tonight. Your very inspiring Sandra and We love you....Blessings to you and yours.
Jeannie, Life sometimes throws something our way we didn’t ask for. We just have to get up and start all over again. Not easy, but we can if we let go of the past and move on with the knowledge that we have the power to do so. Resume with joy in the little things that come your way or you make happen. Start living again. You deserve it! ❤️. Sandra
Your words are so true. I've had to look within and discovering ME after being in relationships for 50 years. Getting to know MYSELF is exciting. Thank you saying what I need to hear ❤😊❤
LOVED this! Thank You for being real. You are EXACTLY right! We think the answers and our happiness and completion is "OUT THERE"...BUT...the answers for each one of us and our happiness is right inside ourselves. LOOK NO FURTHER!!!
Thanks for your wisdoms Sandra. You are absolutely right wen you said. No body got it together 100% I use to wonder about it. How some people are on point.
I love you so much! I cried during this video. So many positive messages. I’m in a very dark and difficult time in my life. I have no family near me, and my dear mother has been gone for over 10 years. This video just grabbed me and hugged me.
Wendy, I’m so glad you watched this video when you needed it. Missing our family and loved ones is so painful. My children are far away, too, and I so miss the daily interaction other parents have with children who live nearby. I still think of my mother everyday. Thank you so much for sharing that, Wendy. I hope 2020 will be good to you. ❤️
I absolutely do not have it together, l know. Over the past months, l have worked harder at ensuring l eat more veg and fruit and l am doing intermittent fasting. I am trying to keep up with personal disciplines. The hardest one is making myself look pretty. Hair thinning, losing muscle mass in my legs due to injury, my teeth are no longer white.🙄 I do so admire how you keep yourself looking so sweet. I am, however, vivacious, loving, and compassionate. So people, l think, tend to forget that l have not styled my hair. ☺ I am 53 years old and l am building a leadership development consultancy. I do really want to look put together for my teaching training sessions. Ahh, thanks for your tips and for helping me rethink where l am and figure out how l can better my "outlook"😁🍂🍀.You are special.🤗
How exciting you are developing a new consultancy business. Good for you! All of the qualities you gave are great for being a true success! Thanks for sharing. ❤️. Sandra
Sandra, meine liebe, this was a wonderfull video.I am glad I could watch it today, since I am very busy preparing for a painting show.At this moment , I needed to hear this , because exposing my paintings is a little like exposing my soul...including flaws.Have a very happy day, I love you!😙😙😙
Best of luck in your art show, Muhlenstedt. That is very exciting. The beauty of art is also in the eye of the beholder. Each person can look at a work of art and take or interpret what they want. Your paintings are an extension of both you and your soul. That is a wonderful thing! I’ll be thinking of you. ❤️. Sandra
I found you like a month ago and I get inspired by you a beautiful lady with a lot of wisdom, love your house and your wreaths, I'm trying to make a wall like that.
Good morning, Sandra: So happy you posted a video today - hope you are doing well! My favorite part of this, was about consumerism. It's truly absurd how new things come out daily, and women feel some type of pressure to run out and buy the "latest and greatest" products and/or ingredient. I agree that if you like something, and it works well for you, stick with it! I cannot comprehend buying every new palette or product. Well, you look beautiful and elegant, as if you do have it all together, lol! You did an amazing job with this one, as always. Thank you so much, stay well, and stay blessed! Rosemarie 🌹❤🌻 xo
Rosemarie, If anyone says they have it all together, they are a great pretender. I may look it, but I am still trying to get it together most days!! Blessings your way, ❤️. Sandra
Totally agree with your assessment of an over-load of consumption of material things. I focus mainly on spending money on "experiences"/travel and my garden which enhances my happiness.
I’m 33, and your channel is perhaps the biggest gem Iv discovered so far this year. So often Iv sought advice from my peers but it’s truly nothing compared to a woman like yourself who has a great deal of life experience and therefore can deliver wisdom from a level that my peers cannot presently. Thank you so much for sharing ❤️
Oh Sandra, another exhilarating chat from yourself. Just love your advice. Sandra, you have given me a new lease of life and hope. What a wonderful and I might add, beautiful, lady you are. Yes, I like to tidy around before I retire but of late, I’ve been a bit lapse and that’s not a good thing. Great advice about jotting down things rather than trying to remember them later on. By the way, I have a husband who thinks he has it all together and he is pretty good but not 100%. He does look remarkably handsome and well for his age of 80, though. Love your music, makes me feel good about life. Much love.xxx
A wonderful discussion. It seems to me that the women who seem to have it together are the ones who are content with who they are and with what they have. Gratitude of heart and generosity of spirit.
Yes! Outer order definitely gives me inner peace and I do that exact thing.... straighten up before I go to bed. Who wants to wake up to a mess that you have to clean up first thing in the morning? Need to work on “moving” more.... Love ALL of this advice!
I love your videos! Great perspective on living a wonderful life that is meant for just you. I have always been a "window shopper" , my fun is about enjoying things where they are and not needing to take it home with me. Great advice and reminders to take care of ourselves 💚
That is really a great quality. Looking and getting the visual enjoyment and not have to have the material one. Thanks for sharing that with us. Very interesting and admirable. ❤️. Sandra
Thank you so much Sandra, I really needed that advice today. Sometimes we 'lose ourselves' along the way & forget that life is for living, you only get one life so make the most of it 😘x
Such a meaningful video I have always gone with my gut its so true I love being organized but I work on it everyday..were in our 70s now looking to downsize going through changes in my life love you & your messages
Laura, thank you so much for sharing your thoughts with us. Downsizing is a challenge but so rewarding. I am happy that we made the move several years ago because it has freed us to be able to do other things in our lives.. Best of luck to you❤️
Sandra, u r soooo right!!!. Stand - by- yur- decision!!!!. Boy have i learned that one🤔. People say things & don't remember down the road!😟. But i always did... No- more!!!. Getting older enhances your wiseness. Ty for say that!. ( STAND BY YUR GUT FEELINGS.) bless u lovely lady. Not only r u wise/ u, r my go to gal- pal....🦋💐
Hi Sandra, I am watching all your beautiful videos and you have become my role model for older age. I will be 56 in a month and I am looking forward to age as gracefully and beautifully as you have. Thank you for your videos.
You're such a gift thank you I wish you were my mother !" thanks for the insight of someone with experience and grace..and as for consumption thank God someone is saying the obvious..all that money and ressources spent ..so you consistently have to work work, precious time to buy not essential things , ..thank you again...
Gosh Sandra I don't know about others but I really do have it all together! ROFLMBO I couldn't resist! I'm the queen of "not together" LOL Great tips! xoxo Mary
You are so right and wise. No one has it all together. Life changes to fast for that to happen. Like you said staying organized can help us feel we have it somewhat together. Great video with good content to think about. Hugs, Robin
Sandra, thank you so very much for these motivating and encouraging thoughts. I feel uplifted after watching. I’m definitely going to try to include some of these suggestions. I’m still on crutches after falling over my dog on Christmas Eve and dealing with so much pain. I enjoy each and every video you post. Thank you💞
Oh my, Carol, sorry to hear that! Hope you are off crutches soon. One of my friends did the same thing about six months ago. She had to have an operation to fix her bone and was on crutches just like you. She is fine now, so just hang in there and you will be okay. ❤️. Sandra
Love your story... I am finding myself to & I’m bipolar living a great life on meds for it. I’m ocd.so it helps me be so in order.. I’m living prove it can be done,be active,be happy,healthy and be focus on one day at a time.💕
Teresa, Taking your meds is so important. We have a friend who also is bipolar and his life has changed for years because his meds keep him level. He has a great job and is very successful in life. I’m so happy for you. ❤️. Sandra
I swear, Sandra, that you read my mind. I need to act on so many of those "Getting it together" activities. The day planner is so our vintage. I loved and lived by mine when I was working but I use my phone now, probably more. There is something about, at least for me, seeing on paper our game plan. I'm such a visual person anyway. Maybe I'll go back to my old way. First thing on it will be my walking time, then I'll add some more "getting it togethers."
Gayle, when I got my iPhone years ago, I did everything from that, until about two years ago when my daughter gifted me a nice day planner. I began to go back to using that more instead of my phone. There is something really nice about hand writing notes and planning in my day planner. Try using a planner again and I think you might find something very special about it again. ❤️. Sandra
You are such a gentle soul. I've just discovered your channel. I've always loved going out for a coffee and time for myself. It started when I lived in London.
Sometimes I enjoy just being with my thoughts sitting at an outdoor cafe. Thanks for sharing you similar experiences just Gavin time for yourself! ❤️. Sandra
Nicely put Sandra. I sure dont have it together. I do take myself on dates all the time. I am still waiting for my soul mate. It was a great video......nice to see you as always..ILY...MINDY
Mindy, Thank you . It’s always comforting for me to know you have been so supportive all along. Mr. Wonderful may just be around the next corner!!❤️. Sandra
I want you to know that I will be 62 this year and I just found your channel and I love it! My mother is actually 20 years older than me but has never been a very supportive person in my life. I love you already listening to you just the past week. You are like a surrogate mother to me. Thank you for your channel!
Tami, such a nice thing to say. I’m sorry your mother was not that supportive, perhaps she had a lot on your mind. I’m so happy to have you here as part of our community and I want to thank you so much for your kind comment. I hope you have a beautiful day❤️
Thank you, Sandra. I needed to hear this today. You are so kind, down to earth, and honest, and I appreciate you so much. So glad I found you on here - I’ve been watching all your videos.
Not just 80 or 90 year old women but.... I'm here in my teenage (18 years old) and I watch your videos. They comfort me a lot. You're amazing thank you so much ❤ 🌼✨
So happy to have you here! I have a granddaughter your age and she follows me, too!! There are a nice group of wonderful young women your age in this community. Thanks for being here!!
You are so wonderful! I mean it. The wisdom you share is practical and truly meaningful. I hope you know how much help and comfort your videos are bringing me. Thank you, from my ❤!
Lisa that is so kind of you to say that. It makes me feel that what I’m doing here matters at least just a little bit. Life teaches us a lot of things, even though we may make mistakes we learn from them.❤️
Another inspiring video..I will send this one to myself so I can watch it again and again! I too have just used my phone but think the day planner sounds great and there are so many cute ones out there...might have to block out some time to purge some of my stuff...one of my greatest untogether traits..lol..thanks for providing so many great pointers in a relaxing living way!❤️
I absolutely believe you can go home again. I’ve recently done it and it’s been where my heart can finally relax. Doctors will tell you about all the new 55+ patients they get who are following their inner calling to move home.
I have had people say to me so many times over the years, you are so dressed up. Well, that is just the way I am. It makes me feel like I have it together, well because I look like I have it together. Yes it takes more time but that is just the thing I do for me, and I have learned that I am never going to change so I have ACCEPTED IT. No,I am not overdressed, the rest of the world is under-dressed is my motto.
Linda, You’ve got it and keep it!!! Dress for you. End of story. Thanks so much for sharing. ❤️. Sandra

I love your comment! I love the concept of “easy glamour.” Why have I not heard this before?? I am exactly the same as you. And as you well know the first time you leave the house looking like hell for a 10 min errand you WILL run into all the people you do not want to run into! Lol!! 🙋♀️
I'm 63, just found you, and really enjoy watching and listening to you. Your a beautiful, kind and gentle woman. Thank your for the help. Much appreciated.
Pamela, Welcome ! I’m so happy you found me and let me know you are here! Thank you so much for coming g along with me today. I hope I see you here often!! ❤️ Sandra
Hi Sandra
How lucky we are to have someone like you to listen to.
I don’t feel guilty about having closets filled with clothes. I sacrificed and put my life on hold when I became a single mother in my 20’s. I also worked very hard supporting my mom when my father died in his early 50’s...
As a runaway at 11, I barely made ends meet working in a Cuban cafe. As u can imagine, I passed for a girl of 18.
Like u, I longed to live a life of luxury and because of this did things that were foolish and at times very dangerous...
Thanks to a basic good nature and pretty high intelligence, I used my street smarts to start my first company. From then on, music ,
the arts and fashion played a big role in my life.
This is the time I have waited for . I have only myself to answer to and I feel fine about spending money to enhance my lifestyle. That being said, one of my biggest pleasures is random giving. Having known what is is to go hungry for days has made me very sensitive to a persons’ suffering. I myself never had issues with drugs or alcohol, but understand how some find this as a means to cope with their pain.
Someone told me a long time ago that Capricorn women have old souls and look older when they are young, but get
younger as they grow older. So far , so good...
Warmest regards,
Ana Sophia
Ana Sophia, Thank you so much for sharing your story. Personal struggles bring out compassion for others. That is a good thing. ❤️ Sandra
I am in my late 60's but the 2 most glamorous smart ladies I currently know are in their 80's, they dress so well but will buy from charity shops, they have their hair nice and keep themselves active and interesting, yes they have wrinkles but they have a wealth of experience and character.
No matter what kind of skin care we use, wrinkles will come but they won’t define us. One of the most favorite things that I love to do is to thrift shop. I love charity shopping whenever I visit my daughter in Chicago.❤️
My grandma said something I will never forget, “be kind, if you simply be kind you never have to feel ashamed of your actions”. And as a child I didn’t truly understand her. But no one knows what kind of day your having, what kind of horrors another is facing. But if we are kind, we never have to feel shame in our own actions if we find out about another’s misfortune. I am sure that my granny had many wise sayings for me, but this is the one I have tried to live by.
Kathleen, Grandmothers are so smart and impart such wisdom. Your was truly exceptional it seems. ❤️. Sandra
That is beautiful and so true.
I'm 34 and this is my new favorite TH-cam channel! 🥰
Mae, welcome and I’m so happy to have you. I know the rest of our community is, also. You are never too young to be interested in life and trying to lead a more purposeful one. Welcome again❤️
Honestly I'm not even in my 30s yet this is so relatable.
Thank you, Celeste. ❤️. Sandra
She is ageless! Where has she been my whole life? I'm glad to have this advice and I'm 50. I just love her. Sandra has taught me to enjoy my own company and to love myself.
Right I’m 22 and I love her channel!!🌺
I just love you Sandra. I’m 70. I had a stroke ten years ago. Lost my whole left side. Got a lot back but still about 2/3 off and gave to be careful. I look ok but hate the Tully look early morning. I love your hair. That was always my favorite style that you have. Your skin is nice. Your attitude is awesome. I enjoy listening to you speak. I wish you were my neighbor. I used to have plenty of money. Just S S now and tiny pension of my husband whom I list last year. I have grieved since that day but going on. I believe he contacts me lovingly a lot. We loved so deeply and worshipped one another. He was my everything as I was his. You give me courage. You nourish my soul. God bless you beautiful. Cate
Thank you so much for commenting. I am so sorry that you had a stroke and that you lost your wonderful husband. Those are things that would make anyone grieve. I know that because he loved you he would want you to continue on and try to live the best life you can. I know his spirit and his love will always be with you in your heart.❤️
Dear Sandra,
To me you were talking about responding to life instead of reacting to it. I am a 44 year old male but to me your advice was universal! Your video came up in my feed and I'm glad I listened.
Exactly. That is a really important observation. My son is 47 and he just texted me about the same thing. Thanks so much for watching and sharing your thoughts. Sandra
"OVER 70 still glamorous" --- HI SANDRS, GIRL ! you said a mouth full and you are SO RIGHT! BE yourself.as you may know Im a VINTAGE person and I hate to shop but I have EVERTHING I need and could want. ORDER is sooo important, a messy home is a messy mind and in my opion the MOST IMPORTANT thing is if you dont KNOW THE LORD you dont know anything. hug connie
Messy home...messy mind. Great analogy, Connie! Hugs back to you and lots of love. ❤️. Sandra
True!❤
Oh Sandra....very very profound advice :) and great video. When I was younger I did look at other women and think " boy they have it all together" and I would feel inadequate....and then one day, it changed. You are right, nobody has it all together...life is tough for everybody...and we spend a good portion of our life hiding our discontent. I think of you as a woman who finds great joy in many things. I think it's the bitterness that can sometimes come with age that needs to be denied at all cost. Joy and curiosity make us want to buy that planner and calendar block our way to a busy meaningful life....thank you for this Sandra....I think this video is just what I needed....xxooo Love to you, Sues
Susan, I have found that sometimes the more together someone looks, behind that facade their life is a mess. Stuff happens in life to keep us striving, but in this life it is always a challenge, isn’t it. Love to you and Dez!!! ❤️. Sandra
LittlePoet So agree 😊 Stay Curious I always have been and still
Am . That’s Why I started my TH-cam Channel . I Love learning , Sandra you are a wonderful teacher . Try not to compare yourself with others as you will always find better and worse . I’m finally comfortable in my skin at over 60.
You are wonderful! I just turned 47 yesterday and out of all of the people o follow on you tube, you have the most valuable information! 💕
Carrie, That’s just about the biggest compliment U could ever get! Thank you so much. ❤️Sandra
You're great. What pleasure to watch you.
Thank you, Sandra. You are kind of great yourself! ❤️ Sandra
Yes, and you are the woman. So elegant and lovely. Thank you. I'm so glad I have found you
I am happy you found me, too, Mary! ❤️. Sandra
I wish you were my mom! ❤️
You are exceptionally beautiful, glamorous and very classy! It's a treat to watch you!
Don't know how i got to your channel yesterday but it was a blessing. 38, mom of two girls (2 & 5), forever busy, very frustrated and absolutely no time for self.
My own mom never gave me the advice, love or tips as she is a Narcissist, toxic kind.
Well, I’m happy you found me, however it happened!! I raised two daughters as well, so I know what you are going through. In the end though, it’s all worth it! ❤️. Sandra
You have become an important of my life, and I look forward to seeing you. You are a sweet uplifting angel sent to us who need your guidance. Sincerely, thank you. 🌝
Joann, Without smart and kind women like you, there would be no me on TH-cam. I have to thank you! ❤️. Sandra
I know this video is over a year old, but must comment that you look magnificent in it - your hair, makeup., the cut and color of what you're wearing.
Hi thank you so much Andrea. Sometimes I wear my hair straight, but during the summer it’s so much easier just to let it have a life of its own! 😊❤️
Thank you, Sandra. I needed to hear this video. At 62 I’m still waiting to grow up by having it all together. It’s not working out that way and I find I’m disappointed for not being like a few women I know mostly through their Facebook or TH-cam posts.
I needed to hear that none of us have it all together and it’s okay.
I am on Facebook, too, but No one puts their real lives out there and no one I have ever met in my life has it all together. You may be more together than the women you see in Facebook! Did you ever see anyone post an unflattering selfie...😊. ❤️. Sandra
Oh Elaine! I am a little older than you and I have positively nothing together including in the areas of job/career, fitness, nutrition, social life - nothing. My hair is always a mess since I was a child & I love it!! But having said that, I live the life of a far younger person. I’m a freak, I’m a weirdo…. I am only with younger men, I roller skate on the sidewalk, I go overseas by myself and I devote my life to animals. My place is very clean but a mess & I ‘ve done & continue to do the things I’m told I can’t do. I have feeling you’re just fine but don’t it yet! 🙋♀️
You are such a beautiful soul and what wonderful advise you have, thank you.
Thank you, Donna. ❤️. Sandra
You are so special I started listening to you 2 days ago and I cannot stop your videos are very much informative
Rajni, Thank you so much for watching. ❤️ Sandra
Hi Sandra thanks for all your words of wisdom. I sometimes find myself being jealous of younger people’s youth and beauty but realize they are lacking our wisdom and life experiences which are so important! Take care!!💕
Cydney, I know it’s hard to see these young women, but you are right, we have a beauty within that they have yet to achieve. ❤️. Sandra
There is one BIG problem with our generation and especially the coming ones, is that - we have stopped listening to our elders and by elders I do not mean WWII veterans, baby boomers...no, no, no. We have stopped listening to our parents, our aunts and uncles, our grandparents - people who have seen a little or a lot of this life... And it is resulting in our incapacity of seeing that life is fleeting. We end up investing our time, our money, our attention, our whole being into stuff (hate the word though) that has absolutely no value, no teaching moment, no edifying power. I do not have a grandma, my dad died when I was twelve and my mom passed away last year...but I dearly miss talking to them, listening to them, hearing what they have to say! So...hurray to you, lovely Sandra! We are here to learn and please tell us more!
I’m so sorry, Tamilla, for all of your losses. That must be difficult.,It’s true there is a breakdown in the respect and the family unit! ❤️. Sandra
Great advice! So true about moving your body. I have been going through bouts of depression and sometimes have stayed in bed for weeks and this just makes me more lethargic. Once I basically force myself and drag myself out of bed and start moving, whether it’s taking a shower, going for a walk, washing dishes, going out to my garden, just moving...I start to immediately feel better. It’s just so hard to get going at first that even the thought is exhausting. Anyone who’s suffered from depression will know what I’m talking about.
Ive said it before but your videos are such an inspiration to me and I’m sure to others. So thank you, once again!
I love the top you are wearing. The color looks lovely on you! ❤️
How smart you are to realize that movement and getting out in and doing something really does help relieve depression. Lying in bed just increases it and makes it worse. Depression is quite debilitating and the proceeds from all of my books goes to research for depression and other types of illnesses. Please try to remain active and interact with others because it does help. Thank you so much for sharing today I am sure it will may help a lot of others in this community.❤️
.
Nice advocacy.God given.
I sooo needed this video. Thank you for your words of wisdom and for sharing. I started watching, had to pause, and watched it from the beginning again.
You have certainly motivated and inspired me. You have no idea how much. And I'm so grateful. God bless xx
Beulah, that makes me feel so good. I hope I have made a difference in someone’s life, even if it’s just a tiny bit. Blessings your way❤️
Thank you for reminding me that most decisions are fixable. I get paralyzed by decision-making sometimes, and fear that I'll make the wrong choice for my life. I appreciate your wisdom and thank you for sharing what you've learned 💜💜💜
Holly, So many times we let fear freeze us. Remember everything is fixable except the two things I mentioned. ❤️. Sandra
Holly, Sandra is giving great advice here! Almost everything is fixable! My life feels like a series of huge mistakes that I keep making. I do better just jumping in most of the time. I also rarely ask others “what should I do.” This has been useful to me as well. 🙋♀️
What a wonderful message! I'll be 70 in a couple of months and I've learned over the years that some people are often putting on quite an act. Occasionally I've discovered their lives are a mess "behind the scenes" so to speak. The world is but a stage and we are the players. I forget who said that. LOL Hey I think I'll take myself out for a walk tomorrow....and maybe lunch! Great video. 👍
Shakespeare.said that! It’s always good to remember there are things behind that door for sure. I took myself for coffee this morning! ❤️. Sandra.
Sandra you are such an inspiration. After just turning seventy I’m still learning what is important. Thank you for your Chanel keep teaching us and God bless you ❤️
Thank you Dolly. I just try to share and talk about things that those of us need to share with one another so that we can live the best life possible. ❤️. Sandra
I really respect the way you perceive yourself and how a woman your age should wear but I think is also ok if the figure permits to keep wearing modern stuff, I'm 70, and color my hair and dress young so my point is wear things that make you feel good and dont think that over 60 you have to feel like a grandma🤣
Norma, You are absolutely right! Age is just a number and dress for you! ❤️. Sandra
Norma bermudez YES! I’m 58. I dress my body type and personality, I don’t dress according to my birth certificate. I hate the phrase that older ppl should dress “age appropriate”
I’m currently wearing something I wore over 20 years ago and do you know it makes me feel more like my old self but with greater self knowledge and my outfit was so admired isn’t that amazing.
Great idea!! Thank you for sharing that great idea! ❤️. Sandra
I hv been listening to you all evening and noc and really enjoyed you. YOU ARE A GREAT LIFE COACH !!!!
Thank you. I have a great love of people and I hope I’m living my life with purpose. ❤️. Sandra
Dear Sandra, you are sooo life affirming. I could listen to you all day, as I never grow tired hearing your thoughts! Thanks for your valuable presence here on the internet. You truly are a gift to many. Have a blessed day!
Thank you ever so much Janice. I really appreciate it❤️
Great video Sandra. Over consumption can also be consuming advice or looking for external validation. That takes power away from us. Going with your gut, trusting your own decisions, and being your own counsel is powerful and is part of the foundation for having it all together. I consistently spend time with myself (date with myself - day trips into Toronto, The museums, the art gallery, etc.) My mantra for feeling together is a quote from my Dad “Take care of yourself. Do what’s best for you. And, don’t jeopardize what you have built for yourself.” I share this profound message with my female friends and colleagues and on my TH-cam channel for women working after sixty.
Excellent advice, Patricia. I hope everyone reads this. Go with your instincts and don’t worry about what others think. Thank you! ❤️. Sandra
👏👏👏
Thank you Sandra ..... just turned 67 Retired and now have found you!
LINDA, So happy you found me. Welcome to this over sixty journey we are all taking!! Retirement expands your time for your dreams. Congratulations. ❤️
Good morning Sandra. Enjoyed this very much!! The more birthdays I have, the more I realize what is truly important. The best feeling for me is to have inner peace. Yes, no one has it 100% together, even though they may appear they do. My calendar is one of my best friends. If I write it down (by hand) I am more apt to do it. Blessings, and love, my friend...MaryEllen
Hello MaryEllen, I think today with iPhones and all the digital ways we store information, the calendar has lost its importance. I know that I can manage my life so much better with a physical planner. I think you are right. Writing it down somehow is easier to remember somehow. No matter how it looks on the outside, having it together 100% is a dream! Love you my dear friend. ❤️. Sandra
Your make up looks so pretty on you! You look beautiful! Thank you for taking the time to list your make up you use. 🌸🌸🌸
Thank for watching today. ❤️. Sandra
I certainly enjoy you pod cast......I want to say that I was in the retail business for 25 years. One thing that I noticed far more than any other is that women no matter how beautiful, slim, well dressed hate something about their body. Most just hated their entire body, but it was consistent through all ages be they 20 or 80. Although the older the women the less concerned about their scars that may have happened through the years
Very well said! Thank you for sharing that today. ❤️
Hi Sandra! How true! Life is not about acquiring material things. It's about acquiring peace and embracing the beauty of each new day and the simple things of life. I retired at 73 a year ago and am enjoying every minute of the day. Wish I had done it sooner! Thank you for your inspiring videos! Blessings!
Connie, Thank you for sharing your story with us. Happy retirement !!! ❤️. Sandra
Such lovely and motivational thoughts from a very lovely and inspiring lady! I loved this wonderful video Sandra. Thank you so much for sharing yourself with us. Your mention of carrying a small calendar recalled sweet memories of my dad. He always carried a small black calendar with him which contained not just his appointments but loved one's birthdays, important phone numbers, Bible verses he loved and other favorite quotes. I am taking myself on a date today, thanks to your video. I've wanted to try a new yoga class for the new year - today is the day! Bless you Sandra for enhancing and brightening so many lives. - Robyn in Stillwater, MN
Robyn, What a tender memory of your father. They were so smart in those days and little notebooks were so important back then. My grandfather always carried one in his vest pocket. Enjoy your date. You will be in good company!😊. ❤️. Sandra
I so love spending time with you. -Just wanted you to know.
Have a meaningful and joy filled day!
Gigi, Hello and Thank you. I’m so happy to know you are here and I love it that I know you are joining the conversations. ❤️. Sandra
Clean kitchen & the bed made starts my day off on the right foot. Now if I could only convince the others who live in the household of that fact, life would be perfect.
lol! I hear you. Probably most of the women with families out there do, too!!! ❤️. Sandra
Beautiful, sincere, wise, dear Sandra!Thank you. And I love your balcony, it's so beautiful.
Thank you, Lia. ❤️. Sandra
Thank you so much Sandra for your sweet encouraging talk tonight....I sure needed your message. Life has kind of kicked in a little heavy this last year or so and although I'm true to my Recovery from Codependency ....I've allowed my confidence to be greatly over shadowed and have taken on a few false beliefs about myself. I use to appear pretty well kept as you do Sandra and enjoy doing those daily girly things like our hair...picking out an outfit to wear or sewing a cute little wardrobe for myself. And, my Mother use to straighten up before bed time and I have the incentive to start that again after listening to you tonight. Your very inspiring Sandra and We love you....Blessings to you and yours.
Jeannie, Life sometimes throws something our way we didn’t ask for. We just have to get up and start all over again. Not easy, but we can if we let go of the past and move on with the knowledge that we have the power to do so. Resume with joy in the little things that come your way or you make happen. Start living again. You deserve it! ❤️. Sandra
Give yourself permission to walk away & be free from codependent relationships. We only have so much time on this earth.
Your words are so true. I've had to look within and discovering ME after being in relationships for 50 years. Getting to know MYSELF is exciting. Thank you saying what I need to hear ❤😊❤
We are our best friends! ❤️. Sandra
LOVED this!
Thank You for being real.
You are EXACTLY right! We think the answers and our happiness and completion is "OUT THERE"...BUT...the answers for each one of us and our happiness is right inside ourselves.
LOOK NO FURTHER!!!
Exactly! ❤️. Sandra
Thanks for your wisdoms Sandra. You are absolutely right wen you said. No body got it together 100%
I use to wonder about it. How some people are on point.
Ema, No one! ❤️. Sandra
Wise advice from a wise woman🤗
Monica, Thanks. . . ❤️ Sandra
I love you so much! I cried during this video. So many positive messages. I’m in a very dark and difficult time in my life. I have no family near me, and my dear mother has been gone for over 10 years. This video just grabbed me and hugged me.
Wendy, I’m so glad you watched this video when you needed it. Missing our family and loved ones is so painful. My children are far away, too, and I so miss the daily interaction other parents have with children who live nearby. I still think of my mother everyday. Thank you so much for sharing that, Wendy. I hope 2020 will be good to you. ❤️
Thank you so much I really needed that advice. It is so true!! God Bless
I’m glad you got something from this today. ❤️. Sandra
I am 26 and i am obsessed with your videos. Started watching yesterday and I've watched at least 20 videos.
Thanks so very much. Thanks for letting me know
I absolutely do not have it together, l know. Over the past months, l have worked harder at ensuring l eat more veg and fruit and l am doing intermittent fasting. I am trying to keep up with personal disciplines. The hardest one is making myself look pretty. Hair thinning, losing muscle mass in my legs due to injury, my teeth are no longer white.🙄
I do so admire how you keep yourself looking so sweet. I am, however, vivacious, loving, and compassionate. So people, l think, tend to forget that l have not styled my hair. ☺
I am 53 years old and l am building a leadership development consultancy. I do really want to look put together for my teaching training sessions. Ahh, thanks for your tips and for helping me rethink where l am and figure out how l can better my "outlook"😁🍂🍀.You are special.🤗
How exciting you are developing a new consultancy business. Good for you! All of the qualities you gave are great for being a true success! Thanks for sharing. ❤️. Sandra
Sandra, meine liebe, this was a wonderfull video.I am glad I could watch it today, since I am very busy preparing for a painting show.At this moment , I needed to hear this , because exposing my paintings is a little like exposing my soul...including flaws.Have a very happy day, I love you!😙😙😙
Best of luck in your art show, Muhlenstedt. That is very exciting. The beauty of art is also in the eye of the beholder. Each person can look at a work of art and take or interpret what they want. Your paintings are an extension of both you and your soul. That is a wonderful thing! I’ll be thinking of you. ❤️. Sandra
I found you like a month ago and I get inspired by you a beautiful lady with a lot of wisdom, love your house and your wreaths, I'm trying to make a wall like that.
Connie, Thank you. Those wreaths I exchange and use on my door for every season. ❤️ Sandra
Your hair looks beautiful!
Thank you Roberta! ❤️. Sandea
Thank you so much, you are fantastic!
Thanks, Anna. ❤️. Sandra
Love her! She's precious!
Thank you, Sarah. ❤️. Sandra
Great advices. Thank you Sandra
Thank you! ❤️. Sandra
Good morning, Sandra: So happy you posted a video today - hope you are doing well! My favorite part of this, was about consumerism. It's truly absurd how new things come out daily, and women feel some type of pressure to run out and buy the "latest and greatest" products and/or ingredient. I agree that if you like something, and it works well for you, stick with it! I cannot comprehend buying every new palette or product. Well, you look beautiful and elegant, as if you do have it all together, lol! You did an amazing job with this one, as always. Thank you so much, stay well, and stay blessed! Rosemarie 🌹❤🌻 xo
Rosemarie, If anyone says they have it all together, they are a great pretender. I may look it, but I am still trying to get it together most days!! Blessings your way, ❤️. Sandra
Totally agree with your assessment of an over-load of consumption of material things. I focus mainly on spending money on "experiences"/travel and my garden which enhances my happiness.
I’m 33, and your channel is perhaps the biggest gem Iv discovered so far this year. So often Iv sought advice from my peers but it’s truly nothing compared to a woman like yourself who has a great deal of life experience and therefore can deliver wisdom from a level that my peers cannot presently. Thank you so much for sharing ❤️
How kind of you to let me know. I’m really happy you are here. Thanks so much
Oh Sandra, another exhilarating chat from yourself. Just love your advice. Sandra, you have given me a new lease of life and hope. What a wonderful and I might add, beautiful, lady you are. Yes, I like to tidy around before I retire but of late, I’ve been a bit lapse and that’s not a good thing. Great advice about jotting down things rather than trying to remember them later on. By the way, I have a husband who thinks he has it all together and he is pretty good but not 100%. He does look remarkably handsome and well for his age of 80, though. Love your music, makes me feel good about life. Much love.xxx
Hi, So nice to hear from you again. These are just helpful tips to keep us organized. How lucky to have such a wonderful husband!!! ❤️. Sandra
A wonderful discussion. It seems to me that the women who seem to have it together are the ones who are content with who they are and with what they have. Gratitude of heart and generosity of spirit.
I couldn’t of said it better myself.❤️
Yes! Outer order definitely gives me inner peace and I do that exact thing.... straighten up before I go to bed. Who wants to wake up to a mess that you have to clean up first thing in the morning? Need to work on “moving” more.... Love ALL of this advice!
I think we are ‘birds of a feather’ Lisa! ❤️. Sandra
Some would have us think they do have it all under control & together. But nope...the struggle is real no matter who you are.
You’ve got it right! No one is under absolute ‘got-it-togetherness.’ ❤️. Sandra
Oh Sandra I do love you and your videos. Simply brilliant, thank you xxx
Yvette, Love right back. Thank you so much. Hope to see you soon! ❤️. Sandra
I love your videos! Great perspective on living a wonderful life that is meant for just you. I have always been a "window shopper" , my fun is about enjoying things where they are and not needing to take it home with me. Great advice and reminders to take care of ourselves 💚
That is really a great quality. Looking and getting the visual enjoyment and not have to have the material one. Thanks for sharing that with us. Very interesting and admirable. ❤️. Sandra
So nice to see a positive role model for women over 60! Too much emphasis on the unrealistic youth-driven culture.
I’ll never look like I did when I was 29/30 or even 40. So I choose to embrace the ‘me’ now. ❤️. Sandra
Thank you so much Sandra, I really needed that advice today. Sometimes we 'lose ourselves' along the way & forget that life is for living, you only get one life so make the most of it 😘x
Diane, You said it all! ❤️. Sandra
Oooohhh! YES to everything that you said! Thank you for sharing......from Colombia 🇨🇴 with Love!
Such a meaningful video I have always gone with my gut its so true I love being organized but I work on it everyday..were in our 70s now looking to downsize going through changes in my life love you & your messages
Laura, thank you so much for sharing your thoughts with us. Downsizing is a challenge but so rewarding. I am happy that we made the move several years ago because it has freed us to be able to do other things in our lives.. Best of luck to you❤️
Sandra, u r soooo right!!!. Stand - by- yur- decision!!!!. Boy have i learned that one🤔. People say things & don't remember down the road!😟. But i always did... No- more!!!. Getting older enhances your wiseness. Ty for say that!. ( STAND BY YUR GUT FEELINGS.) bless u lovely lady. Not only r u wise/ u, r my go to gal- pal....🦋💐
Claudette isn’t that so true!❤️
Hi Sandra, I am watching all your beautiful videos and you have become my role model for older age. I will be 56 in a month and I am looking forward to age as gracefully and beautifully as you have. Thank you for your videos.
Monique, I can’t tell you how much your comment means to me. I am grateful for women like you who want to age gracefully. Thank you. ❤️. Sandra
I love this video, i enjoyed very much!!! The most important to me is to have inner pace. You are so special person. Thanks you.
Maritza, Thank you. ❤️. Sandra
I really love you mam, you are amazing
You're such a gift thank you I wish you were my mother !" thanks for the insight of someone with experience and grace..and as for consumption thank God someone is saying the obvious..all that money and ressources spent ..so you consistently have to work work, precious time to buy not essential things , ..thank you again...
Thank you for that nice wish!!! Money can’t buy happiness for sure! ❤️. Sandra
Life is a work in progress. Thank you for the 6 wonderful tips and lovely reminder of what's important.
You are welcome, Amanda! ❤️. Sandra
Gosh Sandra I don't know about others but I really do have it all together! ROFLMBO I couldn't resist! I'm the queen of "not together" LOL Great tips! xoxo Mary
LOL! You never fail to make me smile, Mary. When I watched you get lost in your old complex, it was a signal !!!! 😊. Sandra
You are so right and wise. No one has it all together. Life changes to fast for that to happen. Like you said staying organized can help us feel we have it somewhat together. Great video with good content to think about. Hugs, Robin
Thank you, Robin. I can’t be ‘together’ in chaos. It scrambles my brain.❤️. Sandra
This was so good. I’ve been agonizing over whether to retire closer to my family - hint: I don’t want to. 😂
Follow your heart and listen to your own instincts. 99.9% of the time they will guide you in the right direction❤️
Sandra, thank you so very much for these motivating and encouraging thoughts. I feel uplifted after watching. I’m definitely going to try to include some of these suggestions. I’m still on crutches after falling over my dog on Christmas Eve and dealing with so much pain. I enjoy each and every video you post. Thank you💞
Oh my, Carol, sorry to hear that! Hope you are off crutches soon. One of my friends did the same thing about six months ago. She had to have an operation to fix her bone and was on crutches just like you. She is fine now, so just hang in there and you will be okay. ❤️. Sandra
Life Over Sixty With Sandra

Teresa, Taking your meds is so important. We have a friend who also is bipolar and his life has changed for years because his meds keep him level. He has a great job and is very successful in life. I’m so happy for you. ❤️. Sandra
I swear, Sandra, that you read my mind. I need to act on so many of those "Getting it together" activities. The day planner is so our vintage. I loved and lived by mine when I was working but I use my phone now, probably more. There is something about, at least for me, seeing on paper our game plan. I'm such a visual person anyway. Maybe I'll go back to my old way. First thing on it will be my walking time, then I'll add some more "getting it togethers."
Gayle, when I got my iPhone years ago, I did everything from that, until about two years ago when my daughter gifted me a nice day planner. I began to go back to using that more instead of my phone. There is something really nice about hand writing notes and planning in my day planner. Try using a planner again and I think you might find something very special about it again. ❤️. Sandra
well put and well done!!!
Thanks, Dolly. ❤️. Sandra
You are such a gentle soul. I've just discovered your channel. I've always loved going out for a coffee and time for myself. It started when I lived in London.
Sometimes I enjoy just being with my thoughts sitting at an outdoor cafe. Thanks for sharing you similar experiences just Gavin time for yourself! ❤️. Sandra
Thank you, Sandra, I needed the sisterly advice, so comforting and inspiring.

I want you to know that I will be 62 this year and I just found your channel and I love it! My mother is actually 20 years older than me but has never been a very supportive person in my life. I love you already listening to you just the past week. You are like a surrogate mother to me. Thank you for your channel!
Tami, such a nice thing to say. I’m sorry your mother was not that supportive, perhaps she had a lot on your mind. I’m so happy to have you here as part of our community and I want to thank you so much for your kind comment. I hope you have a beautiful day❤️

Lisa that is so kind of you to say that. It makes me feel that what I’m doing here matters at least just a little bit. Life teaches us a lot of things, even though we may make mistakes we learn from them.❤️

Another inspiring video..I will send this one to myself so I can watch it again and again! I too have just used my phone but think the day planner sounds great and there are so many cute ones out there...might have to block out some time to purge some of my stuff...one of my greatest untogether traits..lol..thanks for providing so many great pointers in a relaxing living way!❤️
Joan, Its surprising how much I quit using my iPhone so much for notes. I love my planner. It’s seems more organic somehow. ❤️. Sandra

Really like your honesty Sandra good content, encouraging and earthy thank you and kind regards. Love listening to your insights.
Do you Veronica I really appreciate your liking this video. Honesty is what my channel is all about. I try to tell it like it is.❤️
I absolutely believe you can go home again. I’ve recently done it and it’s been where my heart can finally relax. Doctors will tell you about all the new 55+ patients they get who are following their inner calling to move home.
