Every woman on the planet should hear the Wisdom of Sandra Hart. We are so fortunate you, dear Sandra, decided to share your life lessons with us. Thank you, thank you, thank you. You are so beautiful, inside and out. When I dined alone, which I came to enjoy, I always had a book in my purse. Alone, in peace, I sipped wine and read. My first trip abroad, alone, was the time I realized my worth and strength as an independent woman. Everything you say is true, valuable and priceless. May God continue to bless you.
Georgia, I hope every single woman who feels that they can’t be independent and eat or travel on their own read your comment. There are so many single woman today who travel and down independently that it has become a normal way of life for so many wonderful women. We can’t stop living because we are alone.❤️
I make your words my word’s Oh my dear as I listen to Sandra Hart it make me feel in peace and makes me stronger to succeed My life is so identical to Sandra’s life I have to change and move forward Good help me 🙏
I love what you said. As a window I need to embrace dining alone... Cooking good meals for myself and enjoying them. I love the idea of having something to read.
After the devastating loss of my husband and best friend 5 years ago, I have grown exponentially and emerged a better person. I can honestly say that I'm happy... I love my life even though I miss my husband and the life we shared. And though his physical presence is gone, he remains with me in memories and my heart. I am deeply grateful for my family and true friends who always support and love me, for the opportunies and choices that have come my way, and for my courage to accept life after loss ❤
Hello Kerri I’m sorry about your husband passing my husband is dying of lung cancer caused by his work place . He has lung cancer he’s a gem but I really want to get back to uk . I’m very I’ll with fybromyalgia and MS when my husband passes I will never get remarried again I will enjoy my children and grandchildren …. I am mentally tired of everything ….
You are such a Beacon on TH-cam Sandra. I am 30 + years younger, I am drawn to watch & listen to your wisdom & experience, encouragement & I want you to know that your words are sooo needed today more than ever to all age groups of women! You are so many different women to me. A Mother, a Sister, a Friend.... You are so beautiful in every way. I was treated as an object to be dressed up by my own mother, I have been abused, assaulted, degraded & objectified in the work setting because of my outer appearance ( told I was "just a pretty face" ) & then when I gained qualification in an intellectually demanding field of work I was excluded by the women in the workplace out of jealousy. I felt for so long as if I would never "fit in" & I have been rebuilding my identity as a person & your words have become a part of that process for me. So Thank you Sandra for the strong woman you are & for having a strong confident voice on this platform!!! I am pressing forward every day to take hold of my goals & be the woman that I see you have become & you still continue to grow because you are so real & embrace growing & developing yourself in every way from the inside. You have beauty that shows on your face, your smile, the sparkle in your eyes & the wisdom that comes from your heart. God Bless you Sandra
Thank you ever so much for your interest in common. I know all of my subscribers will find your life journey compelling. Sometimes people look at our for sod and they think that it is all there is about us just a superficial vision of what we see. But we are much more than that, aren’t we? We are all so capable of many things as women and none of us should be held back by bullies or lack of self-esteem. We are all worthy and we all deserve the very best life ever. I am so happy that you shared today. ❤️
My favorite video...ever. I absolutely loved this and it really made me feel like a best friend had just gave me the most soothing compliment. You are just wonderful! Keep these videos coming, they are just so needed in today’s world. I sure hope all women hear this message and realize how special we all are.
Vicky Wright Thank you very much. I think many times women don’t realize their worth and how special each and every one of us are. We are here to support one another and to shout out that we are here and we are relevant and not over 50/60 and beyond invisible. ❤️. Sandra
Sandra.. I can't thank you enough for this amazing video. I hope you realize how many women you are touching and helping... you're like an old friend imparting your wisdom. Thank you and have a wonderful weekend.
D. BAMA I feel my subscribers are my extended sisters and they are walking the same journey that I am. We have so much to share with one another. Thank you for the nice comment. ❤️ Sandra
It is my third video with you and I appreciate all your wisdom. I have the intention to see all your videos, it is like breath of fresh air for me. I am sure your knowledge and wisdom will serve all women. I need you in my life. You will be my first priority in the morning. Love you as a very wise woman. Excuse my English writing, I am a French Canadian. ❤😊❤
I just found this video even though it is dated five years ago. This info is so encouraging, convicting, inspiring and so relevant for now in 2023. I am 70 and every single thing is so awesome and and appropriate. THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!!! There is more that I desire to say, but time and space is limited. Just know that you are such a Blessing, especially to us older women. Abundant Blessings and Joy to you. Thank you again and again and again!!!!😍
I love the Book of Ruth from the Bible! Thank you Sandra so much for this message. I too have suffered much loss and changes I didn't want in my life. Jesus became my true Boaz! Your videos are inspiring and I appreciate you!
Kimmie Lusher I made this video because I know Ruth’s story is still so relevant today and touches all of us. Thank you so much for watching and sharing your story. Have a wonderful week. ❤️. Sandra
Great tips as always Sandra! I would like to add something that I myself am guilty of. Never worry about your future. Plan for it the best you can but don't worry over something you have no control over. If you're constanly worried about tomorrow, next week or the next ten years, you're wasting the day you have now. Live for the day. 💓
Hi Sandra: The worst tragedy in life is to lose a child. Having said that, I lost my beloved husband when I was just 43. I managed to keep myself together for my two children, and I found love again six years later. Unfortunately, although we were engaged, things did not work out. Now that I'm "past my prime", I've become embittered about my life without love for the past sixteen years. I never dreamed I'd grow older without a partner. Nothing seems to fill that void - I miss love terribly. Someone to whom you are everything. I don't think I'll ever accept it, although I've tried. This was a beautiful video for all of us - thank you so much. Your grace and beauty shines through! Many blessings, Rosemarie 🌹❤🌻 :)
Marc C. Rosemarie, I have a wonderful friend who has your story. She felt for a long time that happiness had been ripped from beneath her feet. She has since decided to embrace her situation and take care of her dreams by widening her circle of friends through traveling and meeting other women who feel their lives have been unfulfilled because of some kind of loss. She is in a great place right now knowing if her soulmate does or does it find her, she can be happy either way. . You are stronger and more worthy than you think, Rosemarie. Who knows what tomorrow will bring. ❤️. Sandra.
Dear Rosemary, I feel your loss. I too am alone after losing my partner of 49 years. You must understand that a woman is NEVER past her prime unless she decides to believe that she is. I'm 74 and just thrilled to be alive. To have a few good friends that care. to still have my health ---- my first wealth!. Please take this friendly advice from a girl who has 'been there, done that.' If you actively seek out love, none will be found. But honestly believe in yourself and bathe in the knowledge that love will find YOU when it is your time to be loved. God will provide. Blessings to you always.
I found my independence at the age of 9 when my second mom left . My dad worked 3 jobs , one brother always at a friends house, and one brother into sports. I did the cooking, cleaning, laundry, and pretty much played by myself…by the time all the chores were done, my friends were in for the night. Sounds like a lot for a 9 year old, but I learned so much about myself thru all that. I also am 100% ok with just being with me. Too many bad relationships have taught me that sometimes I’m actually my own best company.😊
This has touched me so much. I admire you so and feel that you always speak "just to me" . I too feel that dealing with horrendous breast cancer, the death of my sister to the same disease and my husband's stroke have coursed the mosaic of my life. I try so hard to not feel sorry for myself. I too feel that I am stronger than I ever knew. I wish I could speak to my husband about fears, money etc... but it is not possible. I had a non existent relationship with my mother-in- law for years. She does not know my children. This stemmed from the divorce of my husband's parents when he was young and her new husband resented her 2 children. She chose him over them. My husband tried so hard to reach out over the years to no success. After his stroke, I picked up the phone and called her. Her husband had passed away . She came right away. She was nervous when she saw me, but I opened my arms and we hugged and she has been in our lives ever since. She lives far away, but she checks on my husband. Anyhoo, I know I ramble. You have this effect on me 😊 I have to always remember to take care of me also. Thank you for these reminders. You are a blessing to me❤️
JEAN OLIVEIRA I often question why life throws such big wrenches in good people’s lives-including mine. My answer finally came after years of questioning life and the answer I got was ‘ you are stronger and have the tools to help others, because you have been there.’ I first wrote my story and traveled and lectured about mental illness, gave my time to mental health organizations, and try to spread the word about mental illness and the stigma attached. You were meant, Amir g other things, to be the healer of your husband’s long needed relationship with his mother before it was impossible. Embracing her was a beautiful act of compassion and kindness by erasing the past hurts. Forgiveness is one of the best things we can give, yet one of the hardest to do. I know it will be difficult because if your current situation, but please try and every day make some alone time for yourself and never give up. You are very special and recognize that. Good things will come your way. ❤️. Sandra
Good for you . I also lost my this past October and had to face change and independence. I believe that has made me a totally different person. So Sandra yes as woman we have to embrace change. Thank you for very interesting content and reminding us to take care of ourselves so we are then able to care for our loved ones
I am 53 years old and I live in a small town in Colombia. I appreciate your teachings. Thanks to your example and that of other women that I follow on TH-cam, I have changed my mentality, I am stronger and I have returned to having dreams and projects that I am working on. I feel happy in this new stage of my life. thank you.
Sandra, Sandra, Sandra.....my "Gem"!!! Wow Girl.....so much to think about!! When I think about how things have been going for me since I was a little girl, I should have written a book!! Never had much of a childhood. I was in charge of my younger siblings all the time. My mother was a very "promiscuous" woman and there were always different "Daddy's" around. I can say, sadly, that I never got to know her that well, because she died from cervical cancer at the age of 33....I was 12. Oh, for the record, her name was actually Ruth!!! When I hear of young girls who can't face growing up under some similar conditions and live in rubber rooms (no offense!), my heart goes out to them. I have been blessed to be able to talk about my life and I know the Lord has made me a stronger person for it. I've made my share of mistakes in life's decisions, but learned to not dwell on them. I am proud of how I turned out....I don't drink (maybe a wine cooler now and then!), I don't smoke (couldn't afford them now anyway!), I don't do drugs (don't need them to be happy, the Lord gave me a great personality!😉), but I do like to cook and bake to "fulfill" me... yeah buddy!!!! I keep busy with working in my yard, crocheting, knitting, crafts, riding my bike and can't wait for Covid-19 to be over when they open the roller skating rink again. We are in charge of our lives and they are what we make them, right??? I'm 72 and going strong!! Even working on some of my bucket items. Praying the world gets better for ALL! Again, be safe! ❤️❤️❤️
You have taken lemons and made lemonade from it. You have made something of your life and lessons learned on what not to do and not how to raise children. Thank you ever so much for sharing your wonderful story and I know all of my subscribers will enjoy reading about your life and the lessons that you learned not to do in your life. You seem to have made your life matter. You’re a congratulations and kudos to you.❤️
I’m watching your video in June 2022 and I’m 29 year old female. Your wisdom is so relatable and eye opening to me. You’ve managed to capture it all in such a simple and beautiful manner that I’m short of words to describe it. You are like a mom/sister/friend/grandma/mother in law every women deserves!!! You’re Amazing Sandra. Currently I’m volunteering to give back to the community and finding my purpose of life. It’s been a year since I left my ex in an abusive relationship. I don’t like being vocal about it. But looking back today to a year ago, I’m grateful to the Almighty to where I’m today. To all the people who are in a similar situation, please walk away, it’s never too late. I’m the end, you maybe alone, but you learn to be your best friend and it’s absolutely worth it!!!
Sandra you are such a blessing I can't even tell you how much I appreciate the connection you have with women over 60. I will turn 80 this year ,a widow for 7 years. Diag used 2 yrs ago with stage 4 lung cancer and I am still here taking care of myself. I was baking oatmeal cookies as I listened to your podcast on Ruth,really a good one. Thank you so much for brightening my day!!!-looking forward to the next one
Reta, thank you ever so much and a very early happy 80th birthday to you. You are going to be into your eighth decade, joining me on my travels, too. I am so sorry that you lost your husband two years ago. A lost like that takes a piece of our heart when it happens. But I know he has left you with wonderful memories. I just baked oatmeal cookies the other day. I have a recipe that my mother used to make all the time using raisins and peanuts in her oatmeal cookies. I loved them as a little girl, my children love them and now they are making them for their children. Thanks for listening.❤️
Okay, that's it. It's official. You are my fairy godmother. I am so grateful for your grace and wisdom and willingness to share it with us! May God bless you so richly!
All you do is a blessing, but you covered so much and encouraged us to look at ourselves and grow. I can't thank you enough for encouraging women of ALL ages! I am in my 50s and what a blessing you are reminding us all of our value as women. God bless you, Sandra.
Dear Sandra Sending you so much love. You have profoundly impacted my life, and I want to share something deeply personal with you. I am 24 now and am grappling with the grief of losing my dog. She was a constant source of comfort during my most challenging times, guiding me through mental struggles. Despite her passing from sepsis at just 5.8 years old, I find myself blaming myself every day for her loss. She brought so much wisdom and spirituality int o my life really I can feel her on a spiritual level and it guides through life
Love Love love this. I needed to hear your message today. Even though it’s 2 yrs old. I’m going through a huge transition in my life. I think your such a beautiful person. Thank you again for the beautiful message. 💜
Thank you so much for this video, I love the book of Ruth, my faith had helped me to go through all my hurt and pain from childhood and broken marriages, I been listen to you for a little while,and I'm learning so much from you, thank you for all you doing for us,God blessed you with health !🌻💛
❤🎉Dear Sandra, I just LOVE 💗 YOU SO MUCH 😊I’m 60 and am in a Very stressful living situation with my grown daughters. But I am Blessed 😇 to have your wisdom, insight & calming nature when I have to escape. Thanking you seems like a drop in the ocean compared to my appreciation for you. 😊forever grateful & subscriber ❤
My realization of independence came at the early age of about 7 years old. As an only child of a divorced mother who was very ill with heart issues. I learned to listen to her breathing and her movements during the night. There were many times that I had to call an ambulance to come for her. I became the mother of my mother. Although it was a difficult childhood, I am grateful that I learned responsibility and gained independence at a very early age.
Gawd,in tears. You hold your life experiences up to the light,even the rough ones,like jewels woven thru your life's tapestry. True "beauty from ashes" Sandra Hart. I like Joan Chittister. Gonna run thru this again,really focus and answer questions posed here.
Listen it to you, is so inspiring, so grounding for my soul. It's as if, I am listening to my mother. God rest her soul. I'm grateful I found you on TH-cam. I love being alone and I am very secure with that. I left a 23 year abusive marriage in 09' and found my inner independence and healed my wounds. I have recently remarried my best friend and I am so happy, we are so happy.
Patricia, There are, unfortunately, women who stay in abusive relationships and I’m glad you were t one of them. There is always another chapter and usually it is much better. Congratulations on marrying your soulmate! Thank you for sharing your story! ❤️. Sandra
This has been a real blessing to me. I know what it is like to make a change, mine came at age 70 after taking care of my mother until her death at age 95. Almost my entire life was filled with hurt and disappointments at every turn. Now at age 78 I am finally accepting who I am because I have spent a lot of time alone. My faith is what keeps me going as well. I still have hope I will not lose that.
Thank you for all your wisdom. I was so lucky as a child, had a wonderful Grandmother l always gravitated to her even as a teenager ❤ Moms are busy and doing it all for everyone, so Grandmother can fill in.
Sandra, I share your love of books and most of all I appreciate what you shared about being in a marriage with a man who had paranoia and Scizophrenia. I loved him deeply at age 21 and thankfully avoided marrying him. I felt it essential to get away from him, to save my life. It's comforting and healing to know that you and others experienced this and understand. Blessings!
I waited until my day off to watch this. wonderful vlog. I found myself affirming outloud what you said in the beginning of the video regarding adversity in our lives. I experienced the most traumatic about 6 yrs ago that has changed me forever, and from the beginning I was ever-mindful that I did not want to be 'damaged' for life with baggage. I relied most on my faith and would tell myself as if a mantra, "Lord, I don't understand but I know that no matter what, you love me." I knew that I may never know the reasons, and I accepted that. I also focused my energy not on understanding the 'why', but instead on healing myself. To have focused on the 'why' would have been to expend useless mental energy, of which I had little of at the time. I knew I was independent most likely after I graduated college and had my own place, car, and began travel. I am a bit of a loner which is an okay thing. I do enjoy being with myself and travel alone out of the country. I have had many people not understand, 'how I could ever do that?' At times I admit, those comments have made me feel like I am an oddball but I just shove past it. To spend hours in a museum if I want is delightful. Okay, now i am getting tangential. sorry I have written a tome but just wanted to let you know that I share many thoughts. regarding the large age difference in a partner...there many not seem like a big difference if one is 20 and the other 40 but think about when one is 60 and the other is 80. would I be abandoned because I am 'useless' to them? Does one have so much in common the older we get with an age difference? I don't know. food for thought. I probably have not felt discriminated against in the workplace because I am in a profession that is pretty much dominated by women. I went to an all women's Catholic college and was fortunate enough to be educated by a compassionate and understanding group of 3rd order Franciscans that told us we could do anything but to do it in a dignified way.
Susan Dhifaoui What an open, honest and personally insightful comment, not only on your life, but life itself. I have always been a loner, inside my head a lot and always thought out of the box. That just who I am and your needs are just who you are. That’s why none of us are cookie cutter women. We may have many of the same dreams and needs, but each of us is unique. None of us is perfect and we’re never given a guidebook in all related things human. We have moral teachings, but living involves so many choices and decisions we can’t always get everything right. Thanks again for your heartfelt post. ❤️. Sandra
I think our mothers were so busy taking care of so many things, they sometimes lost themselves in other things. My mother was lovely and a good mother, but I kind of had to make life decisions all by myself, too. She gave me self-esteem, but never empowered me. ❤️. Sandra
Thank you 💗 from one Sandra to another. You posted this video a year ago but I found it today and your words of wisdom came to me just when I needed to hear them.
Thank you, I don't even know how I stumbled upon your VDU , I fell asleep with the headphone in my ear , thinking about the answer to a question, not sure what should I do. I woke up to your sound addressing exactly my problem and giving me the answers I was seeking. Wherever you are, I am sending you blessings and gratitude. I love you for this broadcast and will be sharing it 🌹❤😘
I really enjoyed this. I have lost too. I lost my first husband when I was very young. I had three daughters and I suddenly had to make many changes. I too felt like it made me stronger. I did not know I had it in me either. Thank you for doing these kind of videos. I like makeup, but there are so many more important issues that I like to hear and discuss. Love your channel. Hugs!
Connie N I have three children, too. Amazing how so many of us have life experiences in common. I agree, there are so many aspects of life as a mature woman I am interested in. I don’t know a one note woman our age. Thank you for watching. Have a beautiful day! ❤️. Sandra
Thank You! I am sitting here this morning recovering from that crazy painful biopsy of my uterus yesterday and worrying about the outcome. You made me feel so much better 😊 In my 62 years on this earth I can say I have experienced many headaches and joys. I keep telling myself this issue I am having now is a little blip in the road. Oh and to touch on the subject of men. I lost my first husband when I was 48 and had been married to since I was 18. We had three children. That was hard. I never dreamed I would get married again. But I did and to a much younger man 🧐..... lol And that was 13 years ago and he was right there with me yesterday holding my hand as I had the test done. I do have a mother- in -law and have a lot in common. Age being close....lol she is older than I am but we are like best friends and for all that I am happy. And I am ever so happy finding you on TH-cam. Back to my worry and looking forward to your next video ❤️
Lori Lee You are so fortunate to have such a loving husband. BTW one of my daughters married a man 6 years younger and they have two beautiful children. The second time around can be the best marriage of your life. I know! Stay positive and know I am there thinking of you, as well. ❤️. Sandra
Sandra, what a wonderful video. My sweet mother was Ruth in the Order of the Eastern Star. I heard her recite those verses many times. She was an amazing role model in her life to me and others. I told her daily that I loved her, but I just hope that I thanked her enough. She was always smiling and brought joy to all who knew her. I grew up an only child. My half brother was already grown. I was creative too, and I could entertain myself. I really loved to have friends to spend the night with me. I have been independent since I was a little girl. My mother and daddy taught me how to face challenges during my life. Thank you for bringing back such wonderful memories of my mother. Even though I’m 72 almost 73 and only a few steps behind you, you continue to give me strength to face life as it comes. Thank you for all that you do to empower us women to be better role models for others. ❤️Jeanette Turner
Jeanette, You Sound you were very much like me as a child. I was a Rainbow Girl as a teen and later on my mother-in-law was Worthy Matron of her Order. It was a wonderful group of girls and women. Thanks for sharing your history. ❤️. Sandra
Yes, I was a Rainbow Girl too, and later joined the Order of the Eastern Star. My mother and dad were Worthy Matron and Worthy Patron. My dad was Worthy Patron with me when I was Worthy Matron of our Order and then for the School. My parents loved me so much, and I miss them terribly. Now, I’m trying to be the parent and grandparent they were. I’ve been married 52 years to a wonderful husband. If I should lose my husband I do not plan to remarry as my mother did after my father died. My mother had a church wedding at age 74. She could really except change. She was a very southern lady, and she married a man from Chicago. I really think you and I share much of the same things of our childhood. I was very fortunate to have a very sweet mother in law.
I cannot thank you enough Sandra... I live in a foreign country... Different culture... Different language... Listening to you makes me to understand myself as woman, a mother, a wife and becoming more accepting, people beyond my circle... Merci beaucoup Sandra cannot thank you enough. 💗
Sandra, I do not comment very much but truly enjoy your you tube videos. Your reading from the book of Ruth, which by the way is one of my favorite book from the Bible, warms my heart. I have listened repeatedly to this one and have walked away with a peace within every time. So, I do not find your videos too long but wish they were longer. Thank you for the person you are. I too was married 40 years with a bipolar Schizophrenic husband. He was not a danger to any of us. He filed for divorce, which I never saw coming, to be with another woman. So again, thank you so much from someone who used to watch you on Romper Room and now here. God Bless. ❤️
Thank you so much for connecting today. The book of Ruth has such relevance today for all of us women. I revisit her story often, too. Living with a family member who is mentally ill is extremely challenging and many times heart breaking. I watched the deterioration of my husband, our marriage and our family unit. It was one of the most difficult times of my life. My children and I survived, but it changed every one of us. I completely understand what you have been through, but I know you have come out the other side a stronger person who is now free to lead a better and happier life! So nice to hear from you. ❤️. Sandra
Thanks for this video in all its entirety. It’s very full filing and I’m glad you did it all at once , so I could sit and gather knowledge from it. I’m happily single , no headache at all. I love the book of Ruth. As a woman it’s good to be liberated. The more older I become the more modest I tend to be in my dressing and, I try to keep myself busy with reading , crochet , embroidery, making floor mats and decorating my humble abode. I also keep my communication with my God, because without him I would surely be a lost cause. I practice self care and humility. I try my utmost best to take things one day at a time. I Try to encourage somebody and live an example. I’m encouraged by your words, will watch your vids daily to gain knowledge , so I too can help someone on their daily walk.
Prudence, Beautifully expressed. The book of Ruth is such an inspiring story for all of us women. Centuries later it has lessons we all can practice in our lives. Thank you for watching and sharing your story. ❤️. Sandra
Thats so beautiful Prudence,is soooo resonate with what youve written,tho i am newly living with my partner of several years,we still cultivate our alone time to fill ourselves with spirit and all that enlightens our souls.I love Sandra and this community,im beyond blessed to have stumbled upon her💜
Sandra, it’s 6/7/2022 and only now found you, we must talk. I am Sandra too in Texas, not that geography matters however, the title of my book ‘BUT ‘, can’t be finished without your words from Ruth I just heard today. God has again shown me his Grace and love, praise to our loving Father in heaven!
I am so grateful to listen to all your podcasts I am stuck for several years and depression but I don’t want to take medication. Let me tell you the words and the inspiration you give me at this moment and a month ago is unbelievable! I really be grateful with! I go to buy the book too! But you really help me I have in the past so many situations like you described and I don’t walk away at that time. Dangerous time for me if someone are on any kind of of struggle or abuse relationship you have to do it fast, that almost destroy me until now I go to try or have to try to replace my self estime. Thank you whith all my heart!
You are a beautiful woman in and outside. I’m a woman of almost 87 in two weeks. I experienced a lot of things like you in life. I only wished I could talk as well as you. Keep up your good motivation talks. Enjoyed you since January of 2022. Thanks Sandra!
Dear Ms. Sandra, I feel so very Blessed that I stopped for a little bit and watched this amazing video. I really really have my work cut out now. This is what I needed to hear and must say Thank You with Lots of Love XO
I bought a copy of the Story of Ruth on your suggestion. I'm sure I Will enjoy it. I just turned 50 and much of what you've discussed resonated with me. I feel that most of us can only "look back" well in our 40's at the earliest and it seems that the capability for me is getting stronger. I feel that when I found my independence was when a series of challenging events began to happen in my life. Job loss, lifestyle change (due to a job loss, our family started a frugal journey which led to a homesteading lifestyle...), children graduating high school~~going to college~~getting married and starting a family~~etc., starting a new journey of homeschooling our third child, weathering a serious illness with my Dad, then his passing, my Mother ageing and becoming less mobile~~just so many things. My 40's were really brutal. Now, at 50, I feel like a butterfly coming out of my cocoon. I feel hopeful and am looking forward to good things. To answer your question about feeling ignored~~yes, I have felt that way many times. I'm happily married to a man who claims that I'm beautiful (I am not.), but I've noticed NOT being noticed as I go about in society. The good thing is that now I know my worth~~and it's not wrapped up in a pretty face. My Grandma used to say, "Pretty is as pretty does." Very true! I'm loving your channel and would love book rec's! God bless you.
Thank you so much for your wonderful sharing of your thoughts today. We all have had those passages in life and they are what have made us what we are today. Best of luck to you and thanks for being here.
If I would be same age as you are Mrs. Hart, I would say: “You rock sis” I am 41 and I bumped into your channel by coincidence and since that day I cannot stop to watch your videos. I love the peace and wisdom and love you are spreading and I wish I could meet you in person. Sending lots of positive energy, Dasha from Slovakia
Thank you, Madame for a deeply insightful conversation through your discussion of Ms. Chittister's book! I thought of the thread among all of us who share so much with holy women throughout history. It was both humbling and empowering; the themes and experiences resonated and made me want to ask my loved ones about their perspectives on the twelve moments that Ruth moved through in her own life. Sending light and gratitude to you! 🌟🙏🌺
Your video really helped me, having recently gotten out of a very long situation with a man who affected me in the worst way. Thankyou so much...you are a God send of an angel. God bless You Sandra 💗
Big hug xx Your wisdom is valued and prescious to me as a single woman, as is your commitment to the journey and challenges of women in general. Its so wonderful to listen to you, as though you are an aunty, sister or friend. Thankyou so much.❤
I have always loved the story of Ruth and Naomi. I love that that was your topic. I cried at some points during your presentation... and smiled, and reflected, and nodded in agreement. You are a light in this dark world. ✨️ Your encouraging of us to take care of ourselves is one of your greatest gifts. I was nice to myself the other day and encouraged my sisters (I have 2) to do so also. Guess what, I was nicer to everyone around me. Thank you Thank you so much for your example your honesty, and my goodness your beautiful heart.
I have no words, but only to say this has helped me so much. I struggle with PTS along with 2 sons mental illnesses, one son’s estrangement, and my parents estrangement. When you demand respect and take care of your self esteem there will be consequences, but it is so very worth it. Thank you Sandra for reminding me that I need to take care of me, before I can take care of others and that I am doing the right thing by not looking back and moving forward.
Kathy, I’m sorry you have all these stresses in your life. You do have to think of yourself and move forward. No one else will take care of you better than YOU! ❤️
This is so awesome 👍 the pastor at my church had a lesson about the book of Ruth but he focused on Naomi and it is so amazing how much we can" glean" from it for our lives today- God's Word is so powerful- thank you so much for all your takeaways💖 I just found your channel a week or so ago and listened to your youtube version of your book on my walks last week- thank you ☺️ I just recently retired and moved to my mother-in-law's 🤪
Elle Is For Living It’s sometimes difficult to do, but loss is part of life and the universe. Acceptance and making the loss matter helps. ❤️. So true, isn’t it? I sent the link from your interview to my daughter and she loved it. Sandra
What did you do in television?? Movies? I love listening to talk about Ruth’. My only child passed away from leukemia at the age of 11! I got through the valley by reading the Bible and listening to music!
I love listening to your messages. I know your messages are for women but they certainly apply to men as well. At 62, I have benefitted from your wisdom and advise. Thank you.
Thank you for your channel. I just lost my Mom’s best friend to COVID-19 she called me her daughter after my Mom died 15 years ago to Ovarian cancer. I wondered where I would get the emotional support I cherished from her. I lost two husbands to divorce and later to death. I had children with both and suffered the death of a daughter. I so appreciate your talk and now someone I can draw wisdom from. ❤️❤️❤️
I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your mother‘s friend, and yours. The loss of your husband‘s to divorce and death and your daughter. Sometimes life throws us such sorrow and loss that it’s hard to understand life itself. One thing I do know is that everything in our life that happens to us makes us who we are today. Makes us stronger, smarter, and more compassionate women. You are a survivor and you can help others with your strength may be going through difficult times, too. Thank you so much for sharing today and I am so happy that this video helps. Story of Ruth is so relevant today and touches all of us.❤️
What a wonderful video. Thank you for spending so much care and time on all your videos. I really enjoyed this and do wish I had seen it earlier. Thank you so much,my dear, for all the comfort you bring to us.
Carole, I enjoyed so much making this video about Ruth. Her life today is still relevant and can teach us so many lessons. Thank you for enjoying it and your kind comments❤️
This was one of the best videos that I have watched here on you tube. You touched base with everything as a mature woman should look at and make changes if needed. To grow older with grace to fill worthy of what life has to offer. I love the book of Ruth. By reading it we see how things change, but stay the same for us. Her walk in life we should take and learn from. Who know it may open our eyes to all possibilities for us on our journey the paths we take to be bold and brave independent of all fears that we are able to do what our heart is leaning us to. . To have the right mindset. I feel that women can be feminine but strong. To be yourself with anything that we face to stay true to ourselves is important to be as it should be for all that want more out of life. Thank you Sandra for sharing Hugs and Love Shirley
Shirley, I really appreciate your comment about this video. This was one I genuinely felt was important to cover as Ruth’s story is relevant to us even today. Our possibilities are never ending if we have faith in our strengths as women who believe in achieving the best that life can give. ❤️. Sandra
This is your purpose . You are a gift to every women . You certainly are a gift to me. I had a horrible day yesterday and I am going to have to make some big life changes. I decided that I was not going to become bitter by how I was treated. Forgive and move on ,but I feel wounded . I said to myself what have I learned from this situation and how can I become a stronger better woman.This video helped me to sort out my feelings and how I might proceed. Thanks so much Sandra . I know I was meant to watch this, especially today. Blessings! to you and your family.
Cheryl, I am sorry you had a bad day yesterday. No one has to be nor deserves to be treated with anything but respect. I don’t know your situation, but the faster you change course for your own well being the better off you will be. Sometimes life decisions that are important to our happiness and mental wellness are very difficult. I know you will find the strength to do whatever it takes to move toward respect and happiness. ❤️. Sandra
I know I'm late to the party, since this video came out last March. But I just wanted to say how valuable this video is for me right now. You're an amazing mentor. I'm 69 and have recently had to reevaluate a friendship that was rather one sided and clearly unfair to me. So I've had to let go of someone who was a big part of my life. Thank you for your wonderful advice and encouragement. I am indeed having to me my own best friend at this time but you've helped a great deal. Many thanks for being you!
The story of Ruth and the lessons are still relevant to us women today. Loving yourself and knowing you deserve the best in life is an important step in moving forward. Realizing you deserve to be loved and respected for who you are is important always. Be your own best friend is the first step! ❤️. Sandra
Life Over Sixty With Sandra oh yes! Both my grandmothers were named Ruth, both after the biblical Ruth, and so if course it is my middle name. Naturally the title of your video caught my eye. You represented the story quite well. Again many thanks.
Your wonderful heart warming story today meant so much to me. It has been a huge help in giving myself permission to forgive myself for life changing mistakes and decisions that if I could go back, I'd change. Thank you for helping me to heal my heart and soul
Linda, The Story Of Ruth, is relatable to all of us today. Each one of us can find strength in her life. We have all made mistakes. The important thing is that we forgive ourselves, learn from them and move forward. Thanks for sharing. ❤️. Sandra
To be fulfilled - I love to cut flowers and have in the rooms we are in... I love order - so cleaning and organizing fulfills me... I love friends and doing things together... my faith fulfills me ... and traveling is huge fulfillment to me... thank you so much for this! You are so refreshing! I’ve shared you!
Beautiful Sandra, oh wow! how I learn and Enjoy your videos. You are so right when you say we grow and change from loss. When i was going through losing my mom to cancer the sun didn't shine nothing else mattered to me. I thought I would never smile the same again or be happy but, with my faith and Gods grace I pulled through and, it made me a much better person! You are right, I was stronger than I thought. Thank you Sandra! I truly love and admire you! Please dont stop making videos.❤
You are so inspiring. As I walk through some of the doors you have gone, I shall recall your words and how I must not feel as though I am the only one and will not be the last one. Thank you for sharing.
I am so happy to have met you here in youtube as you became my inspiration to face old aged with a happy disposition as you are a living example of living a very good fulfilled life.
I love this channel! The content is so helpful, real, positive and uplifting! Thank you for giving of yourself to others on this platform. Peace and blessings to you!
My mother passed when I was 35. It has been difficult not having her as a guide into my later years I miss her more now that I am age 70. If that makes sense. Listening to your wisdom helps fill that void in my life. I thank you!🤗❤️
That makes perfect sense to me. My mother passed when she was 92 and I miss her every single day of my life still. And that was over 30 years ago. Thank you for enjoying our conversations here.❤️
Oh my gosh! You are an answer to prayer. Thank you for showing this Christian side of you. I've been looking for someone encouraging that I could listen to. Thank you again for being on TH-cam. Let me tell you...You make a difference!!
Katie, i’m so I’m glad you enjoyed this video and I hope that you will participate in all the conversations that we have here. Thank you for being here
Sandra, just watching and Listening to You Right now....🙋♀️ You Are Classy , thoughtful, Dignified woman , that makes Everyone loves You ! 🥰 Always thanks for keep Us In touch ❤️ Be Blessed🙏💐
Kathleen, I hope what I think about is important to others. There are so many areas of life that we as older women have to deal with sometimes are not easy. ❤️ Sandra
Hi , Sandra, Thankyou very much for taking the time to create this encouraging video. It has truly blessed me. I too was married to a bipolar narcissist first husband. He left me several times and returned as many. We have a beautiful son, whom I wanted to know his father. He was a devoted caring father. But I was supporting us together with his “ bandmates” as he was an inspiring musician.He left us for California after six years. Then I met and married the man who I was born for. A handsome brilliant Attorney. We had so much fun together. He was nine years younger than me.Then after close to thirty years of marriage he became ill and passed away the next day. He was everything to me. I was happy for him to be in the bosom of Abraham, but devastated. Then I began to remember all that I struggled with and overcame while raising my son by myself. So as you said we woman do possess a deep power God given, that good men see or sense and are drawn to. P.S. Your husband adores you and you two are so precious together! Love ❤️
Carol, I’m sorry you lost your husband too soon and too quickly. But we are strong and can carry on. There is still a new chapter yet for you to live. Thanks for sharing your story today! ❤️. Sandra
Сандро, хочу висловити величезну подяку за Вашу неймовірну роботу. Зовсім випадково натрапила на цей канал і відтепер кожного дня дивлюсь ваші відео. Надзвичайно мудра жінка, поради якої є актуальними для будь якого віку та життєвого досвіду. Мені 21, я з України. У час війни дуже легко втратити справжню себе, забути ким ти була раніше. Дякуємо, Сандро, що нагадуєте про речі, які є важливі ❤️
I have admired the Ukrainian people from the day Russia first invaded. I got to witness such bravery, such kind people and neighbor helping neighbor. And so much more. I love the Ukrainian people Bless you ALL!! 🇺🇦💙💛🌠Your people and leader are beautiful shooting stars! The USA could learn a lot from the Ukrainian peoples and government. I love you all and I'm so sorry that big bad Russia invaded your beautiful country. They're bullies! The USA could learn so much for all of you! 50%of Americans are despicable and an embarrassment. Many people here feel this way!! 🙏🕯️Oh and the way you take care of your pets! You are the best!!!
I just ran across your site.. l love everything you talk about and all your advice. I will be looking forward to all your next videos. You are such an admirable person. God Bless You!
I am so glad you found me and I thank you very much for letting me know that you are here. I hope you subscribe so that you will be alerted whenever we have a new conversation coming up❤️

Every woman on the planet should hear the Wisdom of Sandra Hart. We are so fortunate you, dear Sandra, decided to share your life lessons with us. Thank you, thank you, thank you. You are so beautiful, inside and out. When I dined alone, which I came to enjoy, I always had a book in my purse. Alone, in peace, I sipped wine and read. My first trip abroad, alone, was the time I realized my worth and strength as an independent woman. Everything you say is true, valuable and priceless. May God continue to bless you.
Georgia, I hope every single woman who feels that they can’t be independent and eat or travel on their own read your comment. There are so many single woman today who travel and down independently that it has become a normal way of life for so many wonderful women. We can’t stop living because we are alone.❤️
:
I make your words my word’s
Oh my dear as I listen to Sandra Hart it make me feel in peace and makes me stronger to succeed
My life is so identical to Sandra’s life
I have to change and move forward
Good help me 🙏
I love what you said. As a window I need to embrace dining alone... Cooking good meals for myself and enjoying them. I love the idea of having something to read.
After the devastating loss of my husband and best friend 5 years ago, I have grown exponentially and emerged a better person. I can honestly say that I'm happy... I love my life even though I miss my husband and the life we shared. And though his physical presence is gone, he remains with me in memories and my heart. I am deeply grateful for my family and true friends who always support and love me, for the opportunies and choices that have come my way, and for my courage to accept life after loss ❤
Hello Kerri I’m sorry about your husband passing my husband is dying of lung cancer caused by his work place .
He has lung cancer he’s a gem but I really want to get back to uk . I’m very I’ll with fybromyalgia and MS when my husband passes
I will never get remarried again I will enjoy my children and grandchildren …. I am mentally tired of everything ….
You are such a Beacon on TH-cam Sandra. I am 30 + years younger, I am drawn to watch & listen to your wisdom & experience, encouragement & I want you to know that your words are sooo needed today more than ever to all age groups of women! You are so many different women to me. A Mother, a Sister, a Friend.... You are so beautiful in every way. I was treated as an object to be dressed up by my own mother, I have been abused, assaulted, degraded & objectified in the work setting because of my outer appearance ( told I was "just a pretty face" ) & then when I gained qualification in an intellectually demanding field of work I was excluded by the women in the workplace out of jealousy. I felt for so long as if I would never "fit in" & I have been rebuilding my identity as a person & your words have become a part of that process for me. So Thank you Sandra for the strong woman you are & for having a strong confident voice on this platform!!! I am pressing forward every day to take hold of my goals & be the woman that I see you have become & you still continue to grow because you are so real & embrace growing & developing yourself in every way from the inside. You have beauty that shows on your face, your smile, the sparkle in your eyes & the wisdom that comes from your heart. God Bless you Sandra
Thank you ever so much for your interest in common. I know all of my subscribers will find your life journey compelling. Sometimes people look at our for sod and they think that it is all there is about us just a superficial vision of what we see. But we are much more than that, aren’t we? We are all so capable of many things as women and none of us should be held back by bullies or lack of self-esteem. We are all worthy and we all deserve the very best life ever. I am so happy that you shared today. ❤️
Dear Lovely Sandra God Bless you.
My favorite video...ever. I absolutely loved this and it really made me feel like a best friend had just gave me the most soothing compliment. You are just wonderful! Keep these videos coming, they are just so needed in today’s world. I sure hope all women hear this message and realize how special we all are.
Vicky Wright Thank you very much. I think many times women don’t realize their worth and how special each and every one of us are. We are here to support one another and to shout out that we are here and we are relevant and not over 50/60 and beyond invisible. ❤️. Sandra
Sandra.. I can't thank you enough for this amazing video. I hope you realize how many women you are touching and helping... you're like an old friend imparting your wisdom. Thank you and have a wonderful weekend.
D. BAMA I feel my subscribers are my extended sisters and they are walking the same journey that I am. We have so much to share with one another. Thank you for the nice comment. ❤️ Sandra
It is my third video with you and I appreciate all your wisdom. I have the intention to see all your videos, it is like breath of fresh air for me. I am sure your knowledge and wisdom will serve all women. I need you in my life. You will be my first priority in the morning. Love you as a very wise woman. Excuse my English writing, I am a French Canadian. ❤😊❤
I just found this video even though it is dated five years ago. This info is so encouraging, convicting, inspiring and so relevant for now in 2023. I am 70 and every single thing is so awesome and and appropriate. THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!!! There is more that I desire to say, but time and space is limited. Just know that you are such a Blessing, especially to us older women. Abundant Blessings and Joy to you. Thank you again and again and again!!!!😍
I love the Book of Ruth from the Bible! Thank you Sandra so much for this message. I too have suffered much loss and changes I didn't want in my life. Jesus became my true Boaz! Your videos are inspiring and I appreciate you!
Kimmie Lusher I made this video because I know Ruth’s story is still so relevant today and touches all of us. Thank you so much for watching and sharing your story. Have a wonderful week. ❤️. Sandra
I love that. Jesus became your Boaz...
Aww Kimmie, how true!
Great tips as always Sandra! I would like to add something that I myself am guilty of. Never worry about your future. Plan for it the best you can but don't worry over something you have no control over. If you're constanly worried about tomorrow, next week or the next ten years, you're wasting the day you have now. Live for the day. 💓
Thank you so much for all of those wonderful tips. Every single one of them was right on. I appreciate your sharing that with us today.❤️
@@lifewithsandrahart This is my second time to watch this particular session. Thank you for sharing. I really must get the book.Blessings, Carolyn
Hi Sandra: The worst tragedy in life is to lose a child. Having said that, I lost my beloved husband when I was just 43. I managed to keep myself together for my two children, and I found love again six years later. Unfortunately, although we were engaged, things did not work out. Now that I'm "past my prime", I've become embittered about my life without love for the past sixteen years. I never dreamed I'd grow older without a partner. Nothing seems to fill that void - I miss love terribly. Someone to whom you are everything. I don't think I'll ever accept it, although I've tried. This was a beautiful video for all of us - thank you so much. Your grace and beauty shines through! Many blessings, Rosemarie 🌹❤🌻 :)
Marc C. Rosemarie, I have a wonderful friend who has your story. She felt for a long time that happiness had been ripped from beneath her feet. She has since decided to embrace her situation and take care of her dreams by widening her circle of friends through traveling and meeting other women who feel their lives have been unfulfilled because of some kind of loss. She is in a great place right now knowing if her soulmate does or does it find her, she can be happy either way. . You are stronger and more worthy than you think, Rosemarie. Who knows what tomorrow will bring. ❤️. Sandra.
The worst tragedy in life is the one that happens to you...the one that becomes your tragedy. At least I think so.
Dear Rosemary, I feel your loss. I too am alone after losing my partner of 49 years. You must understand that a woman is NEVER past her prime unless she decides to believe that she is. I'm 74 and just thrilled to be alive. To have a few good friends that care. to still have my health ---- my first wealth!. Please take this friendly advice from a girl who has 'been there, done that.' If you actively seek out love, none will be found. But honestly believe in yourself and bathe in the knowledge that love will find YOU when it is your time to be loved. God will provide.
Blessings to you always.
You will see them again jonh 5:28 29 keep knowing from jehovah god .
I found my independence at the age of 9 when my second mom left . My dad worked 3 jobs , one brother always at a friends house, and one brother into sports. I did the cooking, cleaning, laundry, and pretty much played by myself…by the time all the chores were done, my friends were in for the night. Sounds like a lot for a 9 year old, but I learned so much about myself thru all that. I also am 100% ok with just being with me. Too many bad relationships have taught me that sometimes I’m actually my own best company.😊
This has touched me so much. I admire you so and feel that you always speak "just to me" . I too feel that dealing with horrendous breast cancer, the death of my sister to the same disease and my husband's stroke have coursed the mosaic of my life. I try so hard to not feel sorry for myself. I too feel that I am stronger than I ever knew. I wish I could speak to my husband about fears, money etc... but it is not possible. I had a non existent relationship with my mother-in- law for years. She does not know my children. This stemmed from the divorce of my husband's parents when he was young and her new husband resented her 2 children. She chose him over them. My husband tried so hard to reach out over the years to no success. After his stroke, I picked up the phone and called her. Her husband had passed away . She came right away. She was nervous when she saw me, but I opened my arms and we hugged and she has been in our lives ever since. She lives far away, but she checks on my husband. Anyhoo, I know I ramble. You have this effect on me 😊 I have to always remember to take care of me also. Thank you for these reminders. You are a blessing to me❤️
JEAN OLIVEIRA I often question why life throws such big wrenches in good people’s lives-including mine. My answer finally came after years of questioning life and the answer I got was ‘ you are stronger and have the tools to help others, because you have been there.’ I first wrote my story and traveled and lectured about mental illness, gave my time to mental health organizations, and try to spread the word about mental illness and the stigma attached. You were meant, Amir g other things, to be the healer of your husband’s long needed relationship with his mother before it was impossible. Embracing her was a beautiful act of compassion and kindness by erasing the past hurts. Forgiveness is one of the best things we can give, yet one of the hardest to do. I know it will be difficult because if your current situation, but please try and every day make some alone time for yourself and never give up. You are very special and recognize that. Good things will come your way. ❤️. Sandra
Yes
Good for you . I also lost my this past October and had to face change and independence. I believe that has made me a totally different person. So Sandra yes as woman we have to embrace change. Thank you for very interesting content and reminding us to take care of ourselves so we are then able to care for our loved ones
Oh this broke my heart...I hope things have gotten better.
I am 53 years old and I live in a small town in Colombia. I appreciate your teachings. Thanks to your example and that of other women that I follow on TH-cam, I have changed my mentality, I am stronger and I have returned to having dreams and projects that I am working on. I feel happy in this new stage of my life. thank you.
Sandra, Sandra, Sandra.....my "Gem"!!! Wow Girl.....so much to think about!! When I think about how things have been going for me since I was a little girl, I should have written a book!! Never had much of a childhood. I was in charge of my younger siblings all the time. My mother was a very "promiscuous" woman and there were always different "Daddy's" around. I can say, sadly, that I never got to know her that well, because she died from cervical cancer at the age of 33....I was 12. Oh, for the record, her name was actually Ruth!!! When I hear of young girls who can't face growing up under some similar conditions and live in rubber rooms (no offense!), my heart goes out to them. I have been blessed to be able to talk about my life and I know the Lord has made me a stronger person for it. I've made my share of mistakes in life's decisions, but learned to not dwell on them. I am proud of how I turned out....I don't drink (maybe a wine cooler now and then!), I don't smoke (couldn't afford them now anyway!), I don't do drugs (don't need them to be happy, the Lord gave me a great personality!😉), but I do like to cook and bake to "fulfill" me... yeah buddy!!!! I keep busy with working in my yard, crocheting, knitting, crafts, riding my bike and can't wait for Covid-19 to be over when they open the roller skating rink again. We are in charge of our lives and they are what we make them, right??? I'm 72 and going strong!! Even working on some of my bucket items. Praying the world gets better for ALL! Again, be safe! ❤️❤️❤️
You have taken lemons and made lemonade from it. You have made something of your life and lessons learned on what not to do and not how to raise children. Thank you ever so much for sharing your wonderful story and I know all of my subscribers will enjoy reading about your life and the lessons that you learned not to do in your life. You seem to have made your life matter. You’re a congratulations and kudos to you.❤️
Fabulous! Well done you! Kx

You are a precious human being . 🤗
I’m watching your video in June 2022 and I’m 29 year old female. Your wisdom is so relatable and eye opening to me. You’ve managed to capture it all in such a simple and beautiful manner that I’m short of words to describe it. You are like a mom/sister/friend/grandma/mother in law every women deserves!!! You’re Amazing Sandra. Currently I’m volunteering to give back to the community and finding my purpose of life. It’s been a year since I left my ex in an abusive relationship. I don’t like being vocal about it. But looking back today to a year ago, I’m grateful to the Almighty to where I’m today. To all the people who are in a similar situation, please walk away, it’s never too late. I’m the end, you maybe alone, but you learn to be your best friend and it’s absolutely worth it!!!
Hi ❤❤
God has perfect timing. ..this is such a beautiful lesson and it has blessed my soul...thank you...❤
Kathy, I am so happy to hear that! Ruth’s story is still relevant today for all of us. ❤️. Sandra
Sandra you are such a blessing I can't even tell you how much I appreciate the connection you have with women over 60. I will turn 80 this year ,a widow for 7 years. Diag used 2 yrs ago with stage 4 lung cancer and I am still here taking care of myself. I was baking oatmeal cookies as I listened to your podcast on Ruth,really a good one. Thank you so much for brightening my day!!!-looking forward to the next one
Reta, thank you ever so much and a very early happy 80th birthday to you. You are going to be into your eighth decade, joining me on my travels, too. I am so sorry that you lost your husband two years ago. A lost like that takes a piece of our heart when it happens. But I know he has left you with wonderful memories. I just baked oatmeal cookies the other day. I have a recipe that my mother used to make all the time using raisins and peanuts in her oatmeal cookies. I loved them as a little girl, my children love them and now they are making them for their children. Thanks for listening.❤️
Okay, that's it. It's official. You are my fairy godmother. I am so grateful for your grace and wisdom and willingness to share it with us! May God bless you so richly!
How kind you are! Thank you so much and blessings your way❤️
All you do is a blessing, but you covered so much and encouraged us to look at ourselves and grow. I can't thank you enough for encouraging women of ALL ages! I am in my 50s and what a blessing you are reminding us all of our value as women. God bless you, Sandra.
I love the story of Ruth. Her story all those centuries old is still relevant today for all of us. Thank you for spending time with me on this video❤️
Dear Sandra
Sending you so much love. You have profoundly impacted my life, and I want to share something deeply personal with you. I am 24 now and am grappling with the grief of losing my dog. She was a constant source of comfort during my most challenging times, guiding me through mental struggles. Despite her passing from sepsis at just 5.8 years old, I find myself blaming myself every day for her loss. She brought so much wisdom and spirituality int o my life really I can feel her on a spiritual level and it guides through life
Great lesson today! Never to old to learn, I’m 81, feel so happy at this stage of life
Love Love love this. I needed to hear your message today. Even though it’s 2 yrs old.
I’m going through a huge transition in my life.
I think your such a beautiful person. Thank you again for the beautiful message. 💜
Ruth’s story is one that should both inspire and empower us. Thank you for enjoying this. ❤️
I've looked for this kind of program for so long. Ageing has been so frustrating. You have become my bestie in this journey. Thank you.
Thank you so much for this video, I love the book of Ruth, my faith had helped me to go through all my hurt and pain from childhood and broken marriages, I been listen to you for a little while,and I'm learning so much from you, thank you for all you doing for us,God blessed you with health !🌻💛
❤🎉Dear Sandra, I just LOVE 💗 YOU SO MUCH 😊I’m 60 and am in a Very stressful living situation with my grown daughters.
But I am Blessed 😇 to have your wisdom, insight & calming nature when I have to escape. Thanking you seems like a drop in the ocean compared to my appreciation for you. 😊forever grateful & subscriber ❤
"Be your own best friend." LOVE, love, love that. Thank you for sharing. GBY Sandra ;-)
My realization of independence came at the early age of about 7 years old. As an only child of a divorced mother who was very ill with heart issues. I learned to listen to her breathing and her movements during the night. There were many times that I had to call an ambulance to come for her. I became the mother of my mother. Although it was a difficult childhood, I am grateful that I learned responsibility and gained independence at a very early age.
Gawd,in tears. You hold your life experiences up to the light,even the rough ones,like jewels woven thru your life's tapestry. True "beauty from ashes" Sandra Hart.
I like Joan Chittister.
Gonna run thru this again,really focus and answer questions posed here.
Thank you for watching, Michele. This story is such a beautiful one and resonates today. ❤️. Sandra
Listen it to you, is so inspiring, so grounding for my soul. It's as if, I am listening to my mother. God rest her soul. I'm grateful I found you on TH-cam.
I love being alone and I am very secure with that. I left a 23 year abusive marriage in 09' and found my inner independence and healed my wounds. I have recently remarried my best friend and I am so happy, we are so happy.
Patricia, There are, unfortunately, women who stay in abusive relationships and I’m glad you were t one of them. There is always another chapter and usually it is much better. Congratulations on marrying your soulmate! Thank you for sharing your story! ❤️. Sandra
Life Over Sixty With Sandra
What is the name of your book? I’d love to read it. Thank you,
Patricia
This has been a real blessing to me. I know what it is like to make a change, mine came at age 70 after taking care of my mother until her death at age 95. Almost my entire life was filled with hurt and disappointments at every turn. Now at age 78 I am finally accepting who I am because I have spent a lot of time alone. My faith is what keeps me going as well. I still have hope I will not lose that.
Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts with us today on your journey.
I love the book of Ruth....so many lessons to learn but the most important thing is that Jesus Christ came from the lineage of Ruth and Boaz.
That is true. Her story is relevant today for us. ❤️. Sandra
What a wonderful wonderful video thank you for your great advise and lessons.
Donna, The Book Of Ruth is still so relevant today and every woman should read it. ❤️. Sandra
Beautiful wisdom from a beautiful soul. 🌹 💐 🌹
Thank you Kay. ❤️
It's a joy to listen to you. Your upbeat demeanor and positive attitude brighten my day. God bless you and keep you safe.
Thank you so much for your deep but friendly lesson which made me feel I was not alone with my doubts and fears of everyday .
Maria, I am so pleased that this helped you. Ruth’s story is one of strength.❤️
Thank you for all your wisdom. I was so lucky as a child, had a wonderful Grandmother l always gravitated to her even as a teenager ❤ Moms are busy and doing it all for everyone, so Grandmother can fill in.
My favorite bible story I’m sitting here in tears......xoxoxoxoxo
Ruth was a remarkable woman who overcame so much. Her story is so relevant to all of us today, isn’t it? ❤️
Great food for thought... Thank You Sandra!
Sandra, I share your love of books and most of all I appreciate what you shared about being in a marriage with a man who had paranoia and Scizophrenia. I loved him deeply at age 21 and thankfully avoided marrying him. I felt it essential to get away from him, to save my life.
It's comforting and healing to know that you and others experienced this and understand.
Blessings!
Joy, You were lucky in that regard. You did save your life. ❤️. Sandra
I’m so glad I found these videos. Yore a beautiful woman and so insightful! ❤️
I waited until my day off to watch this. wonderful vlog. I found myself affirming outloud what you said in the beginning of the video regarding adversity in our lives. I experienced the most traumatic about 6 yrs ago that has changed me forever, and from the beginning I was ever-mindful that I did not want to be 'damaged' for life with baggage. I relied most on my faith and would tell myself as if a mantra, "Lord, I don't understand but I know that no matter what, you love me." I knew that I may never know the reasons, and I accepted that. I also focused my energy not on understanding the 'why', but instead on healing myself. To have focused on the 'why' would have been to expend useless mental energy, of which I had little of at the time. I knew I was independent most likely after I graduated college and had my own place, car, and began travel. I am a bit of a loner which is an okay thing. I do enjoy being with myself and travel alone out of the country. I have had many people not understand, 'how I could ever do that?' At times I admit, those comments have made me feel like I am an oddball but I just shove past it. To spend hours in a museum if I want is delightful. Okay, now i am getting tangential. sorry I have written a tome but just wanted to let you know that I share many thoughts. regarding the large age difference in a partner...there many not seem like a big difference if one is 20 and the other 40 but think about when one is 60 and the other is 80. would I be abandoned because I am 'useless' to them? Does one have so much in common the older we get with an age difference? I don't know. food for thought. I probably have not felt discriminated against in the workplace because I am in a profession that is pretty much dominated by women. I went to an all women's Catholic college and was fortunate enough to be educated by a compassionate and understanding group of 3rd order Franciscans that told us we could do anything but to do it in a dignified way.
Susan Dhifaoui What an open, honest and personally insightful comment, not only on your life, but life itself. I have always been a loner, inside my head a lot and always thought out of the box. That just who I am and your needs are just who you are. That’s why none of us are cookie cutter women. We may have many of the same dreams and needs, but each of us is unique. None of us is perfect and we’re never given a guidebook in all related things human. We have moral teachings, but living involves so many choices and decisions we can’t always get everything right. Thanks again for your heartfelt post. ❤️. Sandra
great advice. I wish my mother had given me this advice.
I think our mothers were so busy taking care of so many things, they sometimes lost themselves in other things. My mother was lovely and a good mother, but I kind of had to make life decisions all by myself, too. She gave me self-esteem, but never empowered me. ❤️. Sandra
Thank you 💗 from one Sandra to another. You posted this video a year ago but I found it today and your words of wisdom came to me just when I needed to hear them.
Sandra, Ruth’s story is a beautiful one that is relevant today. ❤️. Sandra
Thank you, I don't even know how I stumbled upon your VDU , I fell asleep with the headphone in my ear , thinking about the answer to a question, not sure what should I do. I woke up to your sound addressing exactly my problem and giving me the answers I was seeking. Wherever you are, I am sending you blessings and gratitude. I love you for this broadcast and will be sharing it 🌹❤😘
I really enjoyed this. I have lost too. I lost my first husband when I was very young. I had three daughters and I suddenly had to make many changes. I too felt like it made me stronger. I did not know I had it in me either. Thank you for doing these kind of videos. I like makeup, but there are so many more important issues that I like to hear and discuss. Love your channel. Hugs!
Connie N I have three children, too. Amazing how so many of us have life experiences in common. I agree, there are so many aspects of life as a mature woman I am interested in. I don’t know a one note woman our age. Thank you for watching. Have a beautiful day! ❤️. Sandra
Like keep you close of jeovah god he will give you all you need .
Thank You! I am sitting here this morning recovering from that crazy painful biopsy of my uterus yesterday and worrying about the outcome. You made me feel so much better 😊 In my 62 years on this earth I can say I have experienced many headaches and joys. I keep telling myself this issue I am having now is a little blip in the road. Oh and to touch on the subject of men. I lost my first husband when I was 48 and had been married to since I was 18. We had three children. That was hard. I never dreamed I would get married again. But I did and to a much younger man 🧐..... lol And that was 13 years ago and he was right there with me yesterday holding my hand as I had the test done. I do have a mother- in -law and have a lot in common. Age being close....lol she is older than I am but we are like best friends and for all that I am happy. And I am ever so happy finding you on TH-cam. Back to my worry and looking forward to your next video ❤️
Lori Lee You are so fortunate to have such a loving husband. BTW one of my daughters married a man 6 years younger and they have two beautiful children. The second time around can be the best marriage of your life. I know! Stay positive and know I am there thinking of you, as well. ❤️. Sandra
Hello ,saw your post ,I hope you are well.Cuddles from Canada 🌼🇬🇧🇨🇦M
I like u
I m alone 👧😍❤🌷
Sandra, what a wonderful video. My sweet mother was Ruth in the Order of the Eastern Star. I heard her recite those verses many times. She was an amazing role model in her life to me and others. I told her daily that I loved her, but I just hope that I thanked her enough. She was always smiling and brought joy to all who knew her. I grew up an only child. My half brother was already grown. I was creative too, and I could entertain myself. I really loved to have friends to spend the night with me. I have been independent since I was a little girl. My mother and daddy taught me how to face challenges during my life. Thank you for bringing back such wonderful memories of my mother. Even though I’m 72 almost 73 and only a few steps behind you, you continue to give me strength to face life as it comes. Thank you for all that you do to empower us women to be better role models for others.
❤️Jeanette Turner
Jeanette, You Sound you were very much like me as a child. I was a Rainbow Girl as a teen and later on my mother-in-law was Worthy Matron of her Order. It was a wonderful group of girls and women. Thanks for sharing your history. ❤️. Sandra
Yes, I was a Rainbow Girl too, and later joined the Order of the Eastern Star. My mother and dad were Worthy Matron and Worthy Patron. My dad was Worthy Patron with me when I was Worthy Matron of our Order and then for the School. My parents loved me so much, and I miss them terribly. Now, I’m trying to be the parent and grandparent they were. I’ve been married 52 years to a wonderful husband. If I should lose my husband I do not plan to remarry as my mother did after my father died. My mother had a church wedding at age 74. She could really except change. She was a very southern lady, and she married a man from Chicago. I really think you and I share much of the same things of our childhood. I was very fortunate to have a very sweet mother in law.
I cannot thank you enough Sandra... I live in a foreign country... Different culture... Different language... Listening to you makes me to understand myself as woman, a mother, a wife and becoming more accepting, people beyond my circle... Merci beaucoup Sandra cannot thank you enough. 💗
Sandra, I do not comment very much but truly enjoy your you tube videos. Your reading from the book of Ruth, which by the way is one of my favorite book from the Bible, warms my heart. I have listened repeatedly to this one and have walked away with a peace within every time. So, I do not find your videos too long but wish they were longer. Thank you for the person you are. I too was married 40 years with a bipolar Schizophrenic husband. He was not a danger to any of us. He filed for divorce, which I never saw coming, to be with another woman. So again, thank you so much from someone who used to watch you on Romper Room and now here. God Bless. ❤️
Thank you so much for connecting today. The book of Ruth has such relevance today for all of us women. I revisit her story often, too. Living with a family member who is mentally ill is extremely challenging and many times heart breaking. I watched the deterioration of my husband, our marriage and our family unit. It was one of the most difficult times of my life. My children and I survived, but it changed every one of us. I completely understand what you have been through, but I know you have come out the other side a stronger person who is now free to lead a better and happier life! So nice to hear from you. ❤️. Sandra
Thanks for this video in all its entirety. It’s very full filing and I’m glad you did it all at once , so I could sit and gather knowledge from it.
I’m happily single , no headache at all. I love the book of Ruth. As a woman it’s good to be liberated. The more older I become the more modest I tend to be in my dressing and, I try to keep myself busy with reading , crochet , embroidery, making floor mats and decorating my humble abode. I also keep my communication with my God, because without him I would surely be a lost cause. I practice self care and humility. I try my utmost best to take things one day at a time. I Try to encourage somebody and live an example. I’m encouraged by your words, will watch your vids daily to gain knowledge , so I too can help someone on their daily walk.
Prudence, Beautifully expressed. The book of Ruth is such an inspiring story for all of us women. Centuries later it has lessons we all can practice in our lives. Thank you for watching and sharing your story. ❤️. Sandra
Thats so beautiful Prudence,is soooo resonate with what youve written,tho i am newly living with my partner of several years,we still cultivate our alone time to fill ourselves with spirit and all that enlightens our souls.I love Sandra and this community,im beyond blessed to have stumbled upon her💜
Sandra, it’s 6/7/2022 and only now found you, we must talk. I am Sandra too in Texas, not that geography matters however, the title of my book ‘BUT ‘, can’t be finished without your words from Ruth I just heard today. God has again shown me his Grace and love, praise to our loving Father in heaven!
I’m so happy, Sandra, that you not only enjoyed this video conversation, but are taking away something important from it. Best of luck in your book!
Watching you on home tv. I truly enjoy & cherish your wisdom . You share it with such powerful kindness that few have ❤️
Thank You
I am so grateful to listen to all your podcasts I am stuck for several years and depression but I don’t want to take medication. Let me tell you the words and the inspiration you give me at this moment and a month ago is unbelievable! I really be grateful with! I go to buy the book too! But you really help me I have in the past so many situations like you described and I don’t walk away at that time. Dangerous time for me if someone are on any kind of of struggle or abuse relationship you have to do it fast, that almost destroy me until now I go to try or have to try to replace my self estime. Thank you whith all my heart!
You are a beautiful woman in and outside. I’m a woman of almost 87 in two weeks. I experienced a lot of things like you in life. I only wished I could talk as well as you. Keep up your good motivation talks. Enjoyed you since January of 2022. Thanks Sandra!
Happy early birthday to you!!!
Dear Ms. Sandra, I feel so very Blessed that I stopped for a little bit and watched this amazing video. I really really have my work cut out now. This is what I needed to hear and must say Thank You with Lots of Love XO
Carrie, I am happy you stopped by, too. Ruth’s story is so relevant today for all of us women❤️
I bought a copy of the Story of Ruth on your suggestion. I'm sure I Will enjoy it.
I just turned 50 and much of what you've discussed resonated with me. I feel that most of us can only "look back" well in our 40's at the earliest and it seems that the capability for me is getting stronger. I feel that when I found my independence was when a series of challenging events began to happen in my life. Job loss, lifestyle change (due to a job loss, our family started a frugal journey which led to a homesteading lifestyle...), children graduating high school~~going to college~~getting married and starting a family~~etc., starting a new journey of homeschooling our third child, weathering a serious illness with my Dad, then his passing, my Mother ageing and becoming less mobile~~just so many things. My 40's were really brutal.
Now, at 50, I feel like a butterfly coming out of my cocoon. I feel hopeful and am looking forward to good things. To answer your question about feeling ignored~~yes, I have felt that way many times. I'm happily married to a man who claims that I'm beautiful (I am not.), but I've noticed NOT being noticed as I go about in society. The good thing is that now I know my worth~~and it's not wrapped up in a pretty face. My Grandma used to say, "Pretty is as pretty does." Very true!
I'm loving your channel and would love book rec's! God bless you.
Thank you so much for your wonderful sharing of your thoughts today. We all have had those passages in life and they are what have made us what we are today. Best of luck to you and thanks for being here.
Thank you for sharing my this Abt the book of Ruth. It's really an enlightenment for me.
Very much appreciated.
If I would be same age as you are Mrs. Hart, I would say: “You rock sis” I am 41 and I bumped into your channel by coincidence and since that day I cannot stop to watch your videos. I love the peace and wisdom and love you are spreading and I wish I could meet you in person. Sending lots of positive energy, Dasha from Slovakia
Thank you, Madame for a deeply insightful conversation through your discussion of Ms. Chittister's book! I thought of the thread among all of us who share so much with holy women throughout history. It was both humbling and empowering; the themes and experiences resonated and made me want to ask my loved ones about their perspectives on the twelve moments that Ruth moved through in her own life. Sending light and gratitude to you! 🌟🙏🌺
Sandra so so wonderful how you spoke about Ruth today. So many women that have done wondrous things. Beautiful!
Thank you for sharing your wisdom and kind words. Blessings to you! 💛
Your video really helped me, having recently gotten out of a very long situation with a man who affected me in the worst way. Thankyou so much...you are a God send of an angel. God bless You Sandra 💗
I’ve read the Book of Ruth but never made these applications to my life and its gifts for my growth. I’m so glad I found your channel.
Belle Haup Thank you for watching, Belle. This video was longer than I usually do, but there was so much to cover. Thank you. ❤️. Sandra
Big hug xx Your wisdom is valued and prescious to me as a single woman, as is your commitment to the journey and challenges of women in general. Its so wonderful to listen to you, as though you are an aunty, sister or friend. Thankyou so much.❤
I have always loved the story of Ruth and Naomi. I love that that was your topic. I cried at some points during your presentation... and smiled, and reflected, and nodded in agreement. You are a light in this dark world. ✨️ Your encouraging of us to take care of ourselves is one of your greatest gifts. I was nice to myself the other day and encouraged my sisters (I have 2) to do so also. Guess what, I was nicer to everyone around me. Thank you
Thank you so much for your example your honesty, and my goodness your beautiful heart.
Thank you for enjoying this wonderful story of Ruth
I have no words, but only to say this has helped me so much. I struggle with PTS along with 2 sons mental illnesses, one son’s estrangement, and my parents estrangement. When you demand respect and take care of your self esteem there will be consequences, but it is so very worth it. Thank you Sandra for reminding me that I need to take care of me, before I can take care of others and that I am doing the right thing by not looking back and moving forward.
Kathy, I’m sorry you have all these stresses in your life. You do have to think of yourself and move forward. No one else will take care of you better than YOU! ❤️
This is so awesome 👍 the pastor at my church had a lesson about the book of Ruth but he focused on Naomi and it is so amazing how much we can" glean" from it for our lives today- God's Word is so powerful- thank you so much for all your takeaways💖 I just found your channel a week or so ago and listened to your youtube version of your book on my walks last week- thank you ☺️ I just recently retired and moved to my mother-in-law's 🤪
The story of Ruth is such a powerful story that is so relevant today for all of us women❤️
Hi ❤❤
Thank you, sweet Sandra! You are a ray of sunshine ☀️
Thank You so much this video has touched me at a time when I have come to a crossroad and need to make some very hard choices. So helpful !
I am so pleased to hear that, Darlene. Whatever it is in your life, I hope this video will help you sort it out. ❤️. Sandra
To state it plainly and truthfully, you are so cool and insightful.
LOL!!! Thank you ever so much. I love a woman who can say what she feels in a few words. I thank you from the bottom of my heart Renee!❤️
I have had a lot of loss in my life but completely agree that we need to take it and make something good from it. ♥ Elle
Elle Is For Living It’s sometimes difficult to do, but loss is part of life and the universe. Acceptance and making the loss matter helps. ❤️. So true, isn’t it? I sent the link from your interview to my daughter and she loved it. Sandra
I just
What did you do in television?? Movies? I love listening to talk about Ruth’. My only child passed away from leukemia at the age of 11! I got through the valley by reading the Bible and listening to music!
I love listening to your messages. I know your messages are for women but they certainly apply to men as well. At 62, I have benefitted from your wisdom and advise. Thank you.
🙏 Thank you!
I enjoy telling and talking about the story of Ruth. Her story is still so relevant today for all of us women❤️
Love the story of Ruth!!! Thank you for sharing this wonderful story from the Bible!!! God bless you!!!
Her story is still relevant for all of us women today❤️
Love this!! I KNEW you were a Godly, spiritual lady!! Thank you for helping others!!! Karen
Thank you for your channel. I just lost my Mom’s best friend to COVID-19 she called me her daughter after my Mom died 15 years ago to Ovarian cancer. I wondered where I would get the emotional support I cherished from her. I lost two husbands to divorce and later to death. I had children with both and suffered the death of a daughter. I so appreciate your talk and now someone I can draw wisdom from. ❤️❤️❤️
I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your mother‘s friend, and yours. The loss of your husband‘s to divorce and death and your daughter. Sometimes life throws us such sorrow and loss that it’s hard to understand life itself. One thing I do know is that everything in our life that happens to us makes us who we are today. Makes us stronger, smarter, and more compassionate women. You are a survivor and you can help others with your strength may be going through difficult times, too. Thank you so much for sharing today and I am so happy that this video helps. Story of Ruth is so relevant today and touches all of us.❤️
Dear Sandra thank you so much for this wonderful presentation!
Wonderful video, Sandra. Thank you! Blessings! Jackie in NY state
Ibelieveinangels yesido Thank you Jackie. Ruth’s story still is relative to our lives as women today. Have a beautiful day today. ❤️. Sandra
What a wonderful video. Thank you for spending so much care and time on all your videos. I really enjoyed this and do wish I had seen it earlier. Thank you so much,my dear, for all the comfort you bring to us.
Carole, I enjoyed so much making this video about Ruth. Her life today is still relevant and can teach us so many lessons. Thank you for enjoying it and your kind comments❤️
This was one of the best videos that I have watched here on you tube. You touched base with everything as a mature woman should look at and make changes if needed. To grow older with grace to fill worthy of what life has to offer. I love the book of Ruth. By reading it we see how things change, but stay the same for us. Her walk in life we should take and learn from. Who know it may open our eyes to all possibilities for us on our journey the paths we take to be bold and brave independent of all fears that we are able to do what our heart is leaning us to. . To have the right mindset. I feel that women can be feminine but strong. To be yourself with anything that we face to stay true to ourselves is important to be as it should be for all that want more out of life. Thank you Sandra for sharing Hugs and Love Shirley
Shirley, I really appreciate your comment about this video. This was one I genuinely felt was important to cover as Ruth’s story is relevant to us even today. Our possibilities are never ending if we have faith in our strengths as women who believe in achieving the best that life can give. ❤️. Sandra
Hi ❤❤🌷
This is your purpose . You are a gift to every women . You certainly are a gift to me. I had a horrible day yesterday and I am going to have to make some big life changes. I decided that I was not going to become bitter by how I was treated. Forgive and move on ,but I feel wounded . I said to myself what have I learned from this situation and how can I become a stronger better woman.This video helped me to sort out my feelings and how I might proceed. Thanks so much Sandra . I know I was meant to watch this, especially today. Blessings! to you and your family.
Cheryl, I am sorry you had a bad day yesterday. No one has to be nor deserves to be treated with anything but respect. I don’t know your situation, but the faster you change course for your own well being the better off you will be. Sometimes life decisions that are important to our happiness and mental wellness are very difficult. I know you will find the strength to do whatever it takes to move toward respect and happiness. ❤️. Sandra
I know I'm late to the party, since this video came out last March. But I just wanted to say how valuable this video is for me right now. You're an amazing mentor. I'm 69 and have recently had to reevaluate a friendship that was rather one sided and clearly unfair to me. So I've had to let go of someone who was a big part of my life. Thank you for your wonderful advice and encouragement. I am indeed having to me my own best friend at this time but you've helped a great deal. Many thanks for being you!
The story of Ruth and the lessons are still relevant to us women today. Loving yourself and knowing you deserve the best in life is an important step in moving forward. Realizing you deserve to be loved and respected for who you are is important always. Be your own best friend is the first step! ❤️. Sandra
Life Over Sixty With Sandra oh yes! Both my grandmothers were named Ruth, both after the biblical Ruth, and so if course it is my middle name. Naturally the title of your video caught my eye. You represented the story quite well. Again many thanks.
Thank you for your understanding.
The story of Ruth is a very inspiring one for all of us even today❤️
Hi Sandra ,it hears to
Im 60 and your my inspiration !
Ruth has a story that is relevant today. ❤️. Sandra
Your wonderful heart warming story today meant so much to me. It has been a huge help in giving myself permission to forgive myself for life changing mistakes and decisions that if I could go back, I'd change. Thank you for helping me to heal my heart and soul
Linda, The Story Of Ruth, is relatable to all of us today. Each one of us can find strength in her life. We have all made mistakes. The important thing is that we forgive ourselves, learn from them and move forward. Thanks for sharing. ❤️. Sandra
To be fulfilled - I love to cut flowers and have in the rooms we are in... I love order - so cleaning and organizing fulfills me... I love friends and doing things together... my faith fulfills me ... and traveling is huge fulfillment to me... thank you so much for this! You are so refreshing! I’ve shared you!
Nova, Thank you for sharing the things you love to do. Thank you, too, for sharing. ❤️. Sandra
Beautiful Sandra, oh wow! how I learn and Enjoy your videos. You are so right when you say we grow and change from loss. When i was going through losing my mom to cancer the sun didn't shine nothing else mattered to me. I thought I would never smile the same again or be happy but, with my faith and Gods grace I pulled through and, it made me a much better person! You are right, I was stronger than I thought. Thank you Sandra! I truly love and admire you! Please dont stop making videos.❤
You are so inspiring. As I walk through some of the doors you have gone, I shall recall your words and how I must not feel as though I am the only one and will not be the last one. Thank you for sharing.
Pat, Beautifully said. Thank you. ❤️ Sandra
I am so happy to have met you here in youtube as you became my inspiration to face old aged with a happy disposition as you are a living example of living a very good fulfilled life.

I love this channel! The content is so helpful, real, positive and uplifting! Thank you for giving of yourself to others on this platform. Peace and blessings to you!
My mother passed when I was 35. It has been difficult not having her as a guide into my later years I miss her more now that I am age 70. If that makes sense. Listening to your wisdom helps fill that void in my life. I thank you!🤗❤️
That makes perfect sense to me. My mother passed when she was 92 and I miss her every single day of my life still. And that was over 30 years ago. Thank you for enjoying our conversations here.❤️
My mmother gone when i was 15 to know about jehovah god .helped to much... do it thougth bible
You will see her jonh n 5:28 29
Oh my gosh! You are an answer to prayer. Thank you for showing this Christian side of you. I've been looking for someone encouraging that I could listen to. Thank you again for being on TH-cam. Let me tell you...You make a difference!!
Katie, i’m so I’m glad you enjoyed this video and I hope that you will participate in all the conversations that we have here. Thank you for being here

You are so sweet and kind, Dulce.❤️
You do help me and I truly appreciate it, thank you so very much! I’m 57 and your wisdom and your coolness is awesome!!!!
Kathleen, I hope what I think about is important to others. There are so many areas of life that we as older women have to deal with sometimes are not easy. ❤️ Sandra
Hi , Sandra, Thankyou very much for taking the time to create this encouraging video. It has truly blessed me. I too was married to a bipolar narcissist first husband. He left me several times and returned as many. We have a beautiful son, whom I wanted to know his father. He was a devoted caring father. But I was supporting us together with his “ bandmates” as he was an inspiring musician.He left us for California after six years. Then I met and married the man who I was born for. A handsome brilliant Attorney. We had so much fun together. He was nine years younger than me.Then after close to thirty years of marriage he became ill and passed away the next day. He was everything to me. I was happy for him to be in the bosom of Abraham, but devastated. Then I began to remember all that I struggled with and overcame while raising my son by myself. So as you said we woman do possess a deep power God given, that good men see or sense and are drawn to. P.S. Your husband adores you and you two are so precious together! Love ❤️
Carol, I’m sorry you lost your husband too soon and too quickly. But we are strong and can carry on. There is still a new chapter yet for you to live. Thanks for sharing your story today! ❤️. Sandra
Сандро, хочу висловити величезну подяку за Вашу неймовірну роботу. Зовсім випадково натрапила на цей канал і відтепер кожного дня дивлюсь ваші відео. Надзвичайно мудра жінка, поради якої є актуальними для будь якого віку та життєвого досвіду. Мені 21, я з України. У час війни дуже легко втратити справжню себе, забути ким ти була раніше. Дякуємо, Сандро, що нагадуєте про речі, які є важливі ❤️
I have admired the Ukrainian people from the day Russia first invaded. I got to witness such bravery, such kind people and neighbor helping neighbor. And so much more. I love the Ukrainian people Bless you ALL!! 🇺🇦💙💛🌠Your people and leader are beautiful shooting stars! The USA could learn a lot from the Ukrainian peoples and government. I love you all and I'm so sorry that big bad Russia invaded your beautiful country. They're bullies! The USA could learn so much for all of you! 50%of Americans are despicable and an embarrassment. Many people here feel this way!! 🙏🕯️Oh and the way you take care of your pets! You are the best!!!
I just ran across your site.. l love everything you talk about and all your advice. I will be looking forward to all your next videos. You are such an admirable person. God Bless You!
