It felt so good!!! It didn't start out that way!!!! I was thinking of ways I could get that sculpture out of her cart!!! But then...I saw the faces of those children....xxoo love to you...always, Susan & Desi
I love the way you helped this young woman. Overstepping the boundaries, I was about to suggest that you could sell the sculpture for her and give her the money. I'm so happy that her mom knows how to sell on Ebay! I love you and Desi!
That woman probably said to her mother, " I can't believe I was in the right place at the right time. There was a woman in the store who knew how much this was worth, and was nice enough to tell me."
Maybe that message from Shoeless Joe is “if you build it they will come”. You built a lovey home this year. Your son came, your grandchildren come, your friends come and we come to your home every Saturday night.😊 Ps love the bedroom. So beautiful.
If you had gotten that sculpture, it would have reminded you each and every time you looked at it that it should not be yours. You are an honorable woman with a boatload of class! ❤
Once again, as always, I love your videos. I can’t even begin to tell you of all the parallels our lives share! It so fun for me. Last night when you were sharing the colors of your new bedroom colors, I knew you were going to say your color choice was lavender! Of course, mine is too! Then the blue willow dishes!! My mother’s favorite. Every meal of my childhood was eaten on blue willow. My pup Betty and I never miss a video. Thank your for comforting, supporting, encouraging, and teaching us all so many valuable lessons.
You are a shining example of the old, saying “bloom, where you’re planted “as every time you decide to step out your front door, you bring back stories that nourish our souls!!
That was so sweet what you did for that woman with the 3 kids! That probably taught her children a priceless lesson as they hear that story over and over. I’m sure that it will not be forgotten.
That woman’s children will remember what you did for the rest of their lives and they may tell their children and that way you have taught them a valuable life-lesson and your memory and what you did for them will be immortal.❤️
Susan, I am sooo proud of you for telling the young mother that she had a valuable gem in her cart and God is very proud of you too. Your story about the wall sculpture really touched my heart. I live in Florida and we don’t have a fall. I am originally from up north and I really miss the leaves turning colors… especially the red sugar maple leaves. LOVE TO YOU AND DESI!❤
You did the right thing. That is always the most important. You have already received a reward and that is peace within yourself. You have to love yourself first so you can give to others. If you would have gotten that piece and hung it on the wall you would have brought negativity into your home influencing you and your sweet pup. When I watch your videos you come into my home and it is a good thing.
I think the msg from Shoeless Joe is this: Know thyself & to thy ownself BE TRUE. Seeker of Truth. Embrace what is your TRUE, AUTHENTIC SELF. ❤ You give that to us every week, Susan.😊
Dearest Susan, I must admit as you began your story about the young mother in the thrift store, I was disappointed as you were rationalizing your thoughts. But as you finished your story I was cheering you on with tears in my eyes. There is so much wrong in the world right now, and so many horrible things that people are doing to each other, but you literally restored my faith in humanity for the moment, and this quote popped into my mind, "So shines a good deed in a weary world". Love you tons!
What a blessing to be given the opportunity to do the right thing! I know your heart is filled with gratitude to have been the one who explained the worth of that wall sculpture to that young mother.
I have to say, you are doing a lovely job at creating your cozy nest for you and your little lovebird Desi!!! He simply loves you to bits!!! I hope that this beautiful home is warm in the winter as well!!! We love you and Sweet Desi...keep them coming as I cannot get enough of your fabulous channel!!!
What a lovely video, Susan. What a different world this would be if everyone would stop and think about others as you did. Even better, you now have all of us on the lookout for Jere for YOU! Blessings and gratitude to you and that cute little guy you live with.
This week’s post was incredibly special, Susan. Our dignity, like our integrity, is what we make it and it is our responsibility to maintain both. I think your lesson from Shoeless Joe is just that. No matter what happens hold your head high and move forward with integrity and dignity!
This Great-Grandmother almost unsubscribed but I calmed down and waited for You to finish speaking, I then began to cry. You are so VERY genuine, so VERY Lovely. Thank You, You're a Spirit-Lifter. Loving Your hydrangeas. Take care and Thank You once again. Happy Fall. 🍁💗🍂
I have started taking down my summer decor and decorating for fall. After sitting at home for 2 years staring at the same stuff every day I felt stuck. Now I change things up a little bit for the season and I feel like my life is moving forward again. It makes me feel alive and optimistic about the future.
Thank you for sharing! I appreciate your integrity and empathy for the young single Mom!! I just turned 65 this month. I brought myself new sheets and pillows! I have been looking for a new comforter for a few years! The one you picked just might have the right amount of purple to go well in my bedroom! It's very pretty!! And that little fireplace! I am tempted and may really splurge!
What a great story about the woman in the thrift store. You taught all of us a good lesson. Your bedroom is absolutely beautiful and so cozy. --We love you and Desi. ❤️❤
Well, today marks the autumn equinox and tomorrow is my 73rd birthday. I preferred 53, but 33 was not a good year. The days pass, the years. Do I have some maladies? A few. But I'm just so grateful to be here, thinking and feeling and yearning.
I just loved the last week… I was in Pune in my new little flat, finished decorating,returned home to Mumbai and performed some religious festival, Lord Ganesha’s birthday, and went back again. My husband saw the final decor for the first time and two of our friends too, and they were so full of praise and wonder at the lovely decor which I wish I could share with you! Except for two or three things ( okay ten, counting the lights and lamps) I haven’t bought new decor : I just shopped from my home but it looks so organic, as if it was always there! I am happy Susan, I have my own home which I paid for and decorated to my heart’s desire, something I wanted to do since childhood!
I think the things you got for the bedroom are really pretty. You made me laugh tonight, which is much needed. When you said you were going to write a book entitled "I'm Fat and I Don't Care" I roared with laughter!!! Thanks for everything you do, Susan.
Oh you absolutely did the right thing by telling the young mother what she found! You made her day I’m sure by showing your kindness. Your bedroom is so lovely and your thrift finds are amazing. And dear Desi gets cuter by the week! ❤🐶 Fall is my favorite season-I love this time of year.
Dear Susan, God has blessed you with so many pretty things in your home that even if you loved the sculpture it would have no value and the beauty would have pale compared to your sincere honesty and kindness. Trust me you are going to find something even better and grander than that sculpture and your will be so overjoyed. Promise when you find that special piece that sparks ⚡️ joy you will show and share how it makes you feel. It’s coming and truly can’t wait to see it. ✨💫
Susan......you are so Talented.....The music, the flow, the pictures, the sincerity in your voice and actions, plus the inspirational message....leaves me speechless.....Hallmark needs your number!
Going from summer to fall for me, is going fantastic❤ My birthday is October 12th and literally I come out of hibernation in the fall and winter❤ I live in Alabama where it is hot and humid!!! And I'm not an "outside" person. The mosquitoes love me so, when I have to go anywhere I kind of just walk fast to my car 😂 I love you Susan. Your videos saved my life in 2020 when my husband passed away. I turned on one and I saw this beautiful woman who was exactly the same age as me sitting on her sofa in her wonderfully decorated apartment looking so confident and living by herself with her precious little dog!! I was in such a horrible place physically, emotionally and I was just needing something to give me hope so badly. You were that something for me. Now, three years later, I am finally doing better. I'm still not where I want to be but, I'm better. I will never miss a video that you put out as it's important to me to see what you say every week. I love your new home❤ and I love Desi❤
I love it when you have shows where you shop at the thrift stores. Well, going from summer to fall is for me a fun time. I like redecorating for the season or buying a new fall shirt. Here in Seattle, the change happens quickly. The leaves are changing, the heater is kicking on in the night... right now, it's raining. I embrace it. Now winter, that's another subject.
Susan I was a pre-school teacher for many years. I live in New Zealand. One of the songs I used to sing with the children was. Aroha (the Maori word for love) is loving if you give it away, give it away, give it away. Aroha is loving if you give it away, it comes right back to you. It's just like a magic penny, hold on tight and you won't have any. Lend it, spend it, give it away, and it comes right back to you. This being the case, I expect you won't have enough walls to put all the Lee treasures on you will find in the future. What a beautiful woman you are, like the princess your grand-daughter longs to be, living in the beautiful castle decorated by treasures old and new. Good things come in little dwellings as well, even if they are only brick and sand castles. It's what dwells within that counts. Aroha Christine.
Thank you for lifting my spirits! Please never refer to yourself as fat you are not. The story you told about the thrift store touched my heart. I have worked in community service for many years and helped many, recently I have been thinking people are so take take take its all about me. It was so uplifting the story you told about the women buying the wall art for her mother. Sometimes as my mother would say things happen for a reason, you shared your knowledge of art and a gift of hope and happiness. So much so you gave that woman hope a precious gift, but to also know there are people like you who truly care
Every time I watch one of your videos I am moved by your lovely spirit and am a little sad when it ends. You are always gracious and kind. Thank you for sharing yourself with us. ❤
Perhaps you were only *meant to pass on the message from Shoeless Joe* to those of us who desperately needed to hear it. I’ve never heard of the story and to hear these words today brought tears to my eyes. I once had a blessed life and lost it all due to multiple serial losses (laid off from 25 year job, divorce, burglary, house fire, etc.) and now poor and alone. I’m thankful for all the lessons and growth from going through hardship but it’s been hard to rebuild my life at an older age…I constantly must find the strength to fight for my dignity, happiness, and prosperity. I’m grateful to have found such a great treasure as you LittlePoet on YT…thank you. 🙏🏼💙
Thanks so much...and it warms my heart to no end that you understood the message of SHoeless Joe....of having it all...and losing it...and then the regrets...not about the money or fame...but just our own self worth... that's how I felt when I lost everything...I felt broken. But I knew I had a choice...did you feel like that? I can be broken forever....ok...or I can find some path out of the hell I found myself in and make my life count...brand new me..brand new life...I don't have any answers...just questions really...but the older I get the more I care about what I leave behind...not belongings or money but my deeds....I wonder if Joe felt like that? He did a lot of charity work before he died at 62. I hope your new week is going great! Love to you and yours always, Susan & Desi
@@LittlePoet Oh, I didn't know about your background and I just watched your Rebuild Your Life video…so inspiring. I'm here in my tiny place desperately trying to get through my to-do list but so terribly exhausted. For me the key is to forgive myself (of mistakes, bad decisions, not protecting myself against losses), and to gain self-worth again to get to the point where I can have peace of mind to be able to serve others. You're doing a wonderful service LittlePoet authentically inspiring many of us older women who feel invisible and aren't valued in our society today…many blessings to you!
Hi Susan, those cups and plates are a real memory for me, is because my mom had the whole set, l just cry when I see that set, my mom and me loved those sets, enjoy your set, great memories always bring us back when we were younger, l also love Baseball, l played baseball for years, l love the sport, l hope you and Desi are doing well, hugsssss ❤❤❤
Your bedroom is lovely. It’s soft, romantic, feminine, comforting. The room is beautiful; it doesn’t look professionally done, which is a good thing. It has warmth and personality.
Stunningly beautiful. How can you not feel joy being in your bedroom while reading, watching TV or whatever else….pretty soon you will be starting your own thrift store
Character is the most important personality trait, in my opinion. So beautiful you showed the great character you have, Susan! God bless you always... 💜💜💜
Bless you, Susan, you have such a good heart! That piece of art will end up where it is supposed to be. I find comfort believing that to be true. You did the right thing. Thanks for this special video this week. I love your beautifully romantic bedroom, I especially love the curtains. 💞
Hello Susan, missed watching 2 of your videos, busy looking after my 89th old aunt with Dementia. Enjoying your video midnight in my peace and quiet. Love your creativity, excellent thrifting finds. You are creative, uplifting and your bedroom reflects your elegance and beauty. Love watching all your videos, thanks a million.🙏☮🌹
So nice to hear you did the right thing telling the woman the truth, the world would be a better place if more people done it. Your bedroom looks so gorgeous. I wish only good things for you and Desi. Take Care 🩷💙 🏴🇺🇸
what sweet story you sharing about the lady at Goodwill. I sure you made her day but you know what I think you made a better day. Things come and go but putting others before yourself makes on feel good bless for all things in your life.
I think the Rain Catcher was maybe holding a glass tube to catch the rain and measure how much fell. Possibly? You always make the nicest videos with your sweet soft voice and the beauty that is you. You always make me smile!
YOU are gorgeous! 🤍 LOVE your bedroom and entry mirror!! LOVE, most of all, you being so kind to that young mother!! God bless you, Susan!! And Desi, too!! 🤍🤍
I found little maybe 1/2 cup size wide mouth Mason jars at a thrift store today with the lids. Perfect for my spices. I love them. Desi sleeping behind you is so precious. Your bedroom is beautiful. 💜
I love your anecdotes. The story of Shoeless Joe Jackson is sad, priceless and precious...."Yeah, I know ya Tye, I just didn't think you wanted to know me." So many of us focus on our short comings and allow them to overshadow the rays of sunshine that would flow out of us if only we would pull up the shades....love your bedroom make over and the beautiful bedspread and shear curtains. So very pretty - and the Country Living Tins and jugs, hydrangeas, mason jars and mirror behind the door which is stunning. God used you as an earth angel for that young woman. It will be wonderful when one day you may know how many ripples were manifest from your one simple act of kindness...🥰
There is more value in the decision you made concerning the sculpture than any enjoyment you could ever receive if it were hanging in your home. The neatest part is that as time went on at the store you were able to see more of the woman's situation and know more fully the joy to be had when we do the right things. We can never go wrong when what we "collect" and give is honesty, compassion and love. It is what Jesus did.
Susan you remind me of a beautiful creative Friend I once shared great memories. She could move into a place and quickly turned it into a warm Welcoming Home . We gardened together and hit thrift stores. Memories that live vividly forever. Thank you for sharing!
Susan you are the most beautiful soul and you are just resplendent in white! Earlier today I watched an older video when you were still in that first little apartment. I rejoiced at how far the goodness of God and how far He has brought you… from a little 500 sq ft apartment to this DARLING HOME you are creating for yourself and Desi❣️ We need to live in a place for a bit and allow it to speak to us in order to get it just right. People often try to do too much too soon (and end up dissatisfied with the result). RESONANCE is the signature of authenticity!!! Your lavender bedroom is so YOU and so GORGEOUS! You sowed an important seed by telling that young mom about what she had in her cart. No doubt it will yield a harvest for you that will be exceedingly, abundantly, above and beyond anything you can imagine… just you wait and see❣️ Much love from Texas 😘❤️
Hi Susan! I can leave a comment on my iPhone, but not my iPad! Go figure. That was so sweet and caring that you took the time and your knowledge to educate this young girl on a piece that you’ve been wanting for a long time. Definitely shows how’ll lovely your character is. I adore you ❤ Your bedroom looks absolutely gorgeous! I love the curtains they add the finishing touches. Hugs To Sweet Desi ❤
I just turned 65 and Oct.12 I am retiring.I am scared excited,never not worked since16 ,this is were I need to be brave and get busy enjoying my life trying new things,Oct. 12 is my mother’s heavenly birthday.She is still giving me blessings ❤❤ single and brave ❤❤
You are an amazing storyteller...you have me captivated. You have made a beautiful home for you and that sweet pups Dezi. The bedroom is lovely it will be a wonderful retreat in the cold winter months.
Hi Susan. That was so kind of you. You are a beautiful, sensitive lady. Give and thy shall receive. Take Care with Desi. P.S. I did something a little kind and enjoyed doing it. I knitted two scarves for two policemen that are nice and kind to me. One of the policemen is already wearing the scarf and the other one I finished yesterday and will give it to him next week. 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
OMG your Bedroom looks gorgeous and whoever is cutting your hair cuts beautifully your hair looks great! What you did for that young Mother was great because she had no idea the worth of what she had in her basket but GOD put you both there at the same time so you could reach out to her and let her know I hope she sells it and buy's some things that she may need....
I so agree and God’s Son has said, there is more happiness in giving than there is in receiving. Susan’s feelings of happiness afterwards is the reward!
Susan, I love your videos, I've gotten so many decorating tips to make my space more cozy! Thank you! Desi looks to happy to have his own yard. He won the lottery with you as his mom! Take care and keep up the good work. We love you.
What a wonderful wonderful thing you did for that sweet mom and her family. Brought tears to my eyes. Your bedroom is lovely Susan. It will be so cozy this fall and winter. Sweet Desi with his little bow tie makes me smile every time. Lovely video as always. Sending blessings to you and Desi
I love the seasons, not mad on the heat, not mad on the cold and I truly hate the dark long evenings but I wouldnt change them, they are what makes the spring so beautiful and soul soaring. They are God given. Love your videos. K
I have been thrifting my whole life and have yet to encounter such fabulous abundance as you have both in your old city and in your new one. Of course, your ability to seek and acquire and place in your home is second to none! 👍🏼♥️🇨🇦
The rain catcher? Could it be ? To have a “rain gauge” within its arms?!? Missing.?!? It truly is sweet. Susan, I love your lovely bedroom. Tranquility and warmth,beauty. I’m so happy for you dear.
I’m touched by your generosity. Sometimes it seems it’s a rare trait but then someone pops up to encourage our hearts 💕 I pray that the Lord will send a special blessing back to you. I love your bedroom makeover. Lilac was my sweet momma’s favorite colors and it’s one of mine too. The curtains are so dreamy. Enjoy! Desi is so adorable! Watching him take command of his back yard is so cute. You are in good hands (paws) as long as he’s around. Bless his little gangsta ❤️ Wishing you both a safe, happy week.
I just get such joy out of watching Desi bouncing around HIS new yard like a king, and then coming in and dozing in your beautiful new home. Is it just me or is does he seem so much happier? That was so sweet what you did for that young mom! You are such a lovely human❤
I think Desi has changed so much! I agree,,,he is so confident and happy now! He eats more but runs in his backyard all day! But when inside..oh how he loves his long afternoon nap!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just love watching your video's. And now, seeing your season turn to Fall in the USA as New Zealand heads into Spring is a reminder to me that no matter what goes on the in the world, the seasons will imperviously continue to change in their own way according to nature's time.
Love that you are happy with your new bedroom. I LOVE my electric fireplace. Its beautiful and warm abd toasty. Thank you fod always being a positive light.
Thank you for this inspiring video. In England, they would say you are a tender hearted woman. Be proud of this and fearless. In Quebec, we would say a ''une soie'' (silk hearted person) You made a difference for me this morning; I woke up feeling disjointed and out of sorts, but now I,m ready for a reset. Thank you
You showed integrity. But you also gave that woman, and her mom, a $1,000 gift. Thank you!
It felt so good!!! It didn't start out that way!!!! I was thinking of ways I could get that sculpture out of her cart!!! But then...I saw the faces of those children....xxoo love to you...always, Susan & Desi
I love the way you helped this young woman. Overstepping the boundaries, I was about to suggest that you could sell the sculpture for her and give her the money. I'm so happy that her mom knows how to sell on Ebay! I love you and Desi!
I love the lavender bedroom. What a beautiful color. You did an amazing job
That woman probably said to her mother, " I can't believe I was in the right place at the right time. There was a woman in the store who knew how much this was worth, and was nice enough to tell me."
Looks like your guardian angel whispered to you.
Maybe that message from Shoeless Joe is “if you build it they will come”. You built a lovey home this year. Your son came, your grandchildren come, your friends come and we come to your home every Saturday night.😊
Ps love the bedroom. So beautiful.
If you had gotten that sculpture, it would have reminded you each and every time you looked at it that it should not be yours. You are an honorable woman with a boatload of class! ❤
I say Amen!
Once again, as always, I love your videos. I can’t even begin to tell you of all the parallels our lives share! It so fun for me. Last night when you were sharing the colors of your new bedroom colors, I knew you were going to say your color choice was lavender! Of course, mine is too! Then the blue willow dishes!!

Purple, flowers, butterflies, are the perfect way to surviving the winter. That and a little dog and books.
Susan, I am sooo proud of you for telling the young mother that she had a valuable gem in her cart and God is very proud of you too. Your story about the wall sculpture really touched my heart. I live in Florida and we don’t have a fall. I am originally from up north and I really miss the leaves turning colors… especially the red sugar maple leaves.
LOVE TO YOU AND DESI!❤
Love you right back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You have no idea how much faith in goodness you restored within me...this is so you Little Poet!!
I just love you my my friend....xxoo
You did the right thing. That is always the most important. You have already received a reward and that is peace within yourself. You have to love yourself first so you can give to others.

You did a wonderful thing by letting that woman keep the sculpture. What a good deed by a good woman.
Dearest Susan, I must admit as you began your story about the young mother in the thrift store, I was disappointed as you were rationalizing your thoughts. But as you finished your story I was cheering you on with tears in my eyes. There is so much wrong in the world right now, and so many horrible things that people are doing to each other, but you literally restored my faith in humanity for the moment, and this quote popped into my mind, "So shines a good deed in a weary world". Love you tons!
Oh dear, you just made me cry....the good kind of cry when you feel understood....thank you my dear friend....xxooo
I've never heard that quote before. So true. Love it. Thank you.
" Let everything you do be done with Love" Corinthians 16:14😊❤
What a blessing to be given the opportunity to do the right thing! I know your heart is filled with gratitude to have been the one who explained the worth of that wall sculpture to that young mother.
I have to say, you are doing a lovely job at creating your cozy nest for you and your little lovebird Desi!!! He simply loves you to bits!!! I hope that this beautiful home is warm in the winter as well!!! We love you and Sweet Desi...keep them coming as I cannot get enough of your fabulous channel!!!
I still have my Blue Willow dish set for dolls that I got when I was 5! I'm 68!
What a lovely video, Susan. What a different world this would be if everyone would stop and think about others as you did. Even better, you now have all of us on the lookout for Jere for YOU! Blessings and gratitude to you and that cute little guy you live with.
This week’s post was incredibly special, Susan. Our dignity, like our integrity, is what we make it and it is our responsibility to maintain both. I think your lesson from Shoeless Joe is just that. No matter what happens hold your head high and move forward with integrity and dignity!
Oh Susan, your bedroom decor just takes my breath away! Gorgeous!
This Great-Grandmother almost unsubscribed but I calmed down and waited for You to finish speaking, I then began to cry. You are so VERY genuine, so VERY Lovely. Thank You, You're a Spirit-Lifter. Loving Your hydrangeas. Take care and Thank You once again. Happy Fall.

My Mother bought me a set of Blue Willow 30 years ago. I use it every day. It is beautiful.
You so restore my faith in human kindness. Love and blessings to you and those you love.

Oh its so fun to welcome winter with a cozy new room!!!
What a great story about the woman in the thrift store. You taught all of us a good lesson. Your bedroom is absolutely beautiful and so cozy. --We love you and Desi. ❤️❤
Well, today marks the autumn equinox and tomorrow is my 73rd birthday. I preferred 53, but 33 was not a good year. The days pass, the years. Do I have some maladies? A few. But I'm just so grateful to be here, thinking and feeling and yearning.
Happy Birthday have a wonderful one
Your bedroom looks so pretty and romantic with the lavender and white bedding and curtains! I love it! 🤍💜💜
I just loved the last week… I was in Pune in my new little flat, finished decorating,returned home to Mumbai and performed some religious festival, Lord Ganesha’s birthday, and went back again.

Alright!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am going to write that book!!!!
Your bedroom looks so beautiful very feminine ❤️❤️
I laughed out loud at that too. 🙂
You are a dear lady. You have a lot of compassion.
Oh you absolutely did the right thing by telling the young mother what she found! You made her day I’m sure by showing your kindness. Your bedroom is so lovely and your thrift finds are amazing. And dear Desi gets cuter by the week! ❤🐶 Fall is my favorite season-I love this time of year.
😊
Now, every time you think about the "Sculpture, that got away" you will get a warm feeling in your heart....so worth it !
Susan, watching Desi sleep in the background is so sweet -- you hit the jackpot with him.
Little Poet, you embody everything that is kind, beautiful, gentle and true. Be blessed!
The foyer color is gorgeous! Mirror looks great!
Dear Susan,
God has blessed you with so many pretty things in your home that even if you loved the sculpture it would have no value and the beauty would have pale compared to your sincere honesty and kindness. Trust me you are going to find something even better and grander than that sculpture and your will be so overjoyed. Promise when you find that special piece that sparks ⚡️ joy you will show and share how it makes you feel. It’s coming and truly can’t wait to see it. ✨💫
Susan what a heart felt gesture you gave to that young woman. You gave her hope in humanity & in herself. Happy Fall to you & Desi.🍁🍂🍁🍂🍁🍂🐕🍁🍂🍁🍂🦋🦋🦋
Susan......you are so Talented.....The music, the flow, the pictures, the sincerity in your voice and actions, plus the inspirational message....leaves me speechless.....Hallmark needs your number!
You are so sweet!!!!
Susan, you are the message. If you buy it (house), they will come. They are coming. Joe Jackson said so
That's a great act of charity. You made her, her mom, & yourself happy 😊 👍. Your bedrooms gorgeous 😍
Going from summer to fall for me, is going fantastic❤ My birthday is October 12th and literally I come out of hibernation in the fall and winter❤ I live in Alabama where it is hot and humid!!! And I'm not an "outside" person. The mosquitoes love me so, when I have to go anywhere I kind of just walk fast to my car 😂
I love you Susan. Your videos saved my life in 2020 when my husband passed away. I turned on one and I saw this beautiful woman who was exactly the same age as me sitting on her sofa in her wonderfully decorated apartment looking so confident and living by herself with her precious little dog!! I was in such a horrible place physically, emotionally and I was just needing something to give me hope so badly. You were that something for me. Now, three years later, I am finally doing better. I'm still not where I want to be but, I'm better. I will never miss a video that you put out as it's important to me to see what you say every week. I love your new home❤ and I love Desi❤
I love it when you have shows where you shop at the thrift stores. Well, going from summer to fall is for me a fun time. I like redecorating for the season or buying a new fall shirt. Here in Seattle, the change happens quickly. The leaves are changing, the heater is kicking on in the night... right now, it's raining. I embrace it. Now winter, that's another subject.
I am so proud of you !!! That young mother had her best day . Thank You and your wonderful heart.
I'm tired of bees and bald spots on my lawn. I never thought I'd be so glad to see Fall.
Susan I was a pre-school teacher for many years. I live in New Zealand. One of the songs I used to sing with the children was. Aroha (the Maori word for love) is loving if you give it away, give it away, give it away. Aroha is loving if you give it away, it comes right back to you. It's just like a magic penny, hold on tight and you won't have any. Lend it, spend it, give it away, and it comes right back to you. This being the case, I expect you won't have enough walls to put all the Lee treasures on you will find in the future. What a beautiful woman you are, like the princess your grand-daughter longs to be, living in the beautiful castle decorated by treasures old and new. Good things come in little dwellings as well, even if they are only brick and sand castles. It's what dwells within that counts. Aroha Christine.
Thank you for lifting my spirits! Please never refer to yourself as fat you are not. The story you told about the thrift store touched my heart. I have worked in community service for many years and helped many, recently I have been thinking people are so take take take its all about me. It was so uplifting the story you told about the women buying the wall art for her mother. Sometimes as my mother would say things happen for a reason, you shared your knowledge of art and a gift of hope and happiness. So much so you gave that woman hope a precious gift, but to also know there are people like you who truly care
Precious little children hands at the beginning melted me.
That’s a beautiful story. You did a good deed. ❤❤❤May in come back to you 10 fold.
Every time I watch one of your videos I am moved by your lovely spirit and am a little sad when it ends. You are always gracious and kind. Thank you for sharing yourself with us. ❤
That bedroom is breathtaking Susan!❤
Perhaps you were only *meant to pass on the message from Shoeless Joe* to those of us who desperately needed to hear it. I’ve never heard of the story and to hear these words today brought tears to my eyes. I once had a blessed life and lost it all due to multiple serial losses (laid off from 25 year job, divorce, burglary, house fire, etc.) and now poor and alone. I’m thankful for all the lessons and growth from going through hardship but it’s been hard to rebuild my life at an older age…I constantly must find the strength to fight for my dignity, happiness, and prosperity. I’m grateful to have found such a great treasure as you LittlePoet on YT…thank you. 🙏🏼💙
Thanks so much...and it warms my heart to no end that you understood the message of SHoeless Joe....of having it all...and losing it...and then the regrets...not about the money or fame...but just our own self worth... that's how I felt when I lost everything...I felt broken. But I knew I had a choice...did you feel like that? I can be broken forever....ok...or I can find some path out of the hell I found myself in and make my life count...brand new me..brand new life...I don't have any answers...just questions really...but the older I get the more I care about what I leave behind...not belongings or money but my deeds....I wonder if Joe felt like that? He did a lot of charity work before he died at 62. I hope your new week is going great! Love to you and yours always, Susan & Desi
@@LittlePoet Oh, I didn't know about your background and I just watched your Rebuild Your Life video…so inspiring. I'm here in my tiny place desperately trying to get through my to-do list but so terribly exhausted. For me the key is to forgive myself (of mistakes, bad decisions, not protecting myself against losses), and to gain self-worth again to get to the point where I can have peace of mind to be able to serve others. You're doing a wonderful service LittlePoet authentically inspiring many of us older women who feel invisible and aren't valued in our society today…many blessings to you!
Hi Susan, those cups and plates are a real memory for me, is because my mom had the whole set, l just cry when I see that set, my mom and me loved those sets, enjoy your set, great memories always bring us back when we were younger, l also love Baseball, l played baseball for years, l love the sport, l hope you and Desi are doing well, hugsssss ❤❤❤
Hi Susan, l have been thrifting to for years,, l have a brother in law, that has his own store, he some times sells his products on eBay too, hugssss
Your bedroom is lovely.
It’s soft, romantic, feminine, comforting. The room is beautiful; it doesn’t look professionally done, which is a good thing. It has warmth and personality.
People in this world are so blessed to have you in their lives even if it a just one chance meeting at a thrift store ❤
Stunningly beautiful. How can you not feel joy being in your bedroom while reading, watching TV or whatever else….pretty soon you will be starting your own thrift store
Each one of your vlogs is a lyrical poem. I always end up in tears over the moving and beautiful things you say and show.
Character is the most important personality trait, in my opinion. So beautiful you showed the great character you have, Susan! God bless you always... 💜💜💜
Bless you, Susan, you have such a good heart! That piece of art will end up where it is supposed to be. I find comfort believing that to be true. You did the right thing. Thanks for this special video this week. I love your beautifully romantic bedroom, I especially love the curtains. 💞
Hello Susan, missed watching 2 of your videos, busy looking after my 89th old aunt with Dementia. Enjoying your video midnight in my peace and quiet. Love your creativity, excellent thrifting finds. You are creative, uplifting and your bedroom reflects your elegance and beauty. Love watching all your videos, thanks a million.🙏☮🌹
So nice to hear you did the right thing telling the woman the truth, the world would be a better place if more people done it. Your bedroom looks so gorgeous. I wish only good things for you and Desi. Take Care 🩷💙 🏴🇺🇸
Ur really a wonderful grandmother and a great example of a grandmother to the rest of us. Sincerely with love and respect and prayers, Linda, Pa
what sweet story you sharing about the lady at Goodwill. I sure you made her day but you know what I think you made a better day. Things come and go but putting others before yourself makes on feel good bless for all things in your life.
I think the Rain Catcher was maybe holding a glass tube to catch the rain and measure how much fell. Possibly? You always make the nicest videos with your sweet soft voice and the beauty that is you. You always make me smile!
you look so fabulous! and Desi running around, you’re both aging backward.
You did the right thing. For that act of kindness many good things will come your way. Have a good week ❤
YOU are gorgeous! 🤍
LOVE your bedroom and entry mirror!!
LOVE, most of all, you being so kind to that young mother!! God bless you, Susan!!
And Desi, too!! 🤍🤍
I had to laugh at your end monologue. Desi looked like he was falling asleep poor thing. Such a sweetie.
You absolutely did the right thing. God will bless you loads.
Thank you Susan! For doing the 'right thing' and not conning that woman at the thrift store.. that was an awesome story 💗
I found little maybe 1/2 cup size wide mouth Mason jars at a thrift store today with the lids. Perfect for my spices. I love them. Desi sleeping behind you is so precious. Your bedroom is beautiful. 💜
Your honesty makes you even more beautiful ❤God bless you
I just love your heartfelt stories and want to thank you for sharing.
I love your anecdotes. The story of Shoeless Joe Jackson is sad, priceless and precious...."Yeah, I know ya Tye, I just didn't think you wanted to know me." So many of us focus on our short comings and allow them to overshadow the rays of sunshine that would flow out of us if only we would pull up the shades....love your bedroom make over and the beautiful bedspread and shear curtains. So very pretty - and the Country Living Tins and jugs, hydrangeas, mason jars and mirror behind the door which is stunning. God used you as an earth angel for that young woman. It will be wonderful when one day you may know how many ripples were manifest from your one simple act of kindness...🥰
There is more value in the decision you made concerning the sculpture than any enjoyment you could ever receive if it were hanging in your home. The neatest part is that as time went on at the store you were able to see more of the woman's situation and know more fully the joy to be had when we do the right things. We can never go wrong when what we "collect" and give is honesty, compassion and love. It is what Jesus did.
Susan you remind me of a beautiful creative Friend I once shared great memories. She could move into a place and quickly turned it into a warm Welcoming Home . We gardened together and hit thrift stores. Memories that live vividly forever. Thank you for sharing!
Susan you are the most beautiful soul and you are just resplendent in white! Earlier today I watched an older video when you were still in that first little apartment. I rejoiced at how far the goodness of God and how far He has brought you… from a little 500 sq ft apartment to this DARLING HOME you are creating for yourself and Desi❣️ We need to live in a place for a bit and allow it to speak to us in order to get it just right. People often try to do too much too soon (and end up dissatisfied with the result). RESONANCE is the signature of authenticity!!! Your lavender bedroom is so YOU and so GORGEOUS! You sowed an important seed by telling that young mom about what she had in her cart. No doubt it will yield a harvest for you that will be exceedingly, abundantly, above and beyond anything you can imagine… just you wait and see❣️ Much love from Texas 😘❤️
Hi Susan! I can leave a comment on my iPhone, but not my iPad! Go figure.
That was so sweet and caring that you took the time and your knowledge to educate this young girl on a piece that you’ve been wanting for a long time. Definitely shows how’ll lovely your character is. I adore you ❤
Your bedroom looks absolutely gorgeous! I love the curtains they add the finishing touches. Hugs To Sweet Desi ❤
You did such a selfless thing with the woman in the thrift store. Kudos to you Susan. Love your feminine bedroom. Tfs cheers
A wise man once told me, "When in doubt, do what's right." You did just that...what a lesson in integrity!❤
YOU DID THE RIGHT THING!! I DIDN'T EXPECT ANY DIFFERENT FROM YOU SWEET LADY!!❤❤
It’s always a blessing to bless someone else! It’s like a victory!
How do you manage to get Desi to sleep behind you during your videos? He’s just the sweetest thing!
I wish he would not do that!!! He steals the show!!!! ( and he knows it!!!!)
I just turned 65 and Oct.12 I am retiring.I am scared excited,never not worked since16 ,this is were
I need to be brave and get busy enjoying my life trying new things,Oct. 12 is my mother’s heavenly birthday.She is still giving me blessings ❤❤ single and brave ❤❤
You are an amazing storyteller...you have me captivated. You have made a beautiful home for you and that sweet pups Dezi. The bedroom is lovely it will be a wonderful retreat in the cold winter months.
Hi Susan. That was so kind of you. You are a beautiful, sensitive lady. Give and thy shall receive. Take Care with Desi. P.S. I did something a little kind and enjoyed doing it. I knitted two scarves for two policemen that are nice and kind to me. One of the policemen is already wearing the scarf and the other one I finished yesterday and will give it to him next week. 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
OMG your Bedroom looks gorgeous and whoever is cutting your hair cuts beautifully your hair looks great! What you did for that young Mother was great because she had no idea the worth of what she had in her basket but GOD put you both there at the same time so you could reach out to her and let her know I hope she sells it and buy's some things that she may need....
I so agree and God’s Son has said, there is more happiness in giving than there is in receiving. Susan’s feelings of happiness afterwards is the reward!
Susan, I love your videos, I've gotten so many decorating tips to make my space more cozy! Thank you! Desi looks to happy to have his own yard. He won the lottery with you as his mom! Take care and keep up the good work. We love you.
Thank you so much!
What a wonderful wonderful thing you did for that sweet mom and her family. Brought tears to my eyes. Your bedroom is lovely Susan. It will be so cozy this fall and winter. Sweet Desi with his little bow tie makes me smile every time. Lovely video as always. Sending blessings to you and Desi
thank you so much for your kinds words and for being here with our group of lovely ladies and gents! xxoo Happy Sunday!! Susan & Desi
You are so precious Susan.
Love your decorating style. It seems so effortless and comfortable. ❤
I love the seasons, not mad on the heat, not mad on the cold and I truly hate the dark long evenings but I wouldnt change them, they are what makes the spring so beautiful and soul soaring. They are God given.
Love your videos.

I have been thrifting my whole life and have yet to encounter such fabulous abundance as you have both in your old city and in your new one. Of course, your ability to seek and acquire and place in your home is second to none! 👍🏼♥️🇨🇦
YOU ARE SO SWEET!!!!
I really think what you get in a thrift store, has to do with how often you go.
The rain catcher? Could it be ? To have a “rain gauge” within its arms?!? Missing.?!? It truly is sweet. Susan, I love your lovely bedroom. Tranquility and warmth,beauty. I’m so happy for you dear.
I’m touched by your generosity. Sometimes it seems it’s a rare trait but then someone pops up to encourage our hearts 💕 I pray that the Lord will send a special blessing back to you.
I love your bedroom makeover. Lilac was my sweet momma’s favorite colors and it’s one of mine too. The curtains are so dreamy. Enjoy!
Desi is so adorable! Watching him take command of his back yard is so cute. You are in good hands (paws) as long as he’s around. Bless his little gangsta ❤️
Wishing you both a safe, happy week.
I just get such joy out of watching Desi bouncing around HIS new yard like a king, and then coming in and dozing in your beautiful new home. Is it just me or is does he seem so much happier? That was so sweet what you did for that young mom! You are such a lovely human❤
I think Desi has changed so much! I agree,,,he is so confident and happy now! He eats more but runs in his backyard all day! But when inside..oh how he loves his long afternoon nap!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
🐶❤@@LittlePoet
It's lovely, are you in New England ?
Your bedroom is just dreamy. Love the lavender, very fresh and pretty.
I just love watching your video's. And now, seeing your season turn to Fall in the USA as New Zealand heads into Spring is a reminder to me that no matter what goes on the in the world, the seasons will imperviously continue to change in their own way according to nature's time.
Love that you are happy with your new bedroom. I LOVE my electric fireplace. Its beautiful and warm abd toasty. Thank you fod always being a positive light.
Your hair looks extra pretty today.
Thank you for this inspiring video. In England, they would say you are a tender hearted woman. Be proud of this and fearless.
In Quebec, we would say a ''une soie'' (silk hearted person) You made a difference for me this morning; I woke up feeling disjointed and out of sorts, but now I,m ready for a reset. Thank you
