Hello! I'm 14, and my mom has always taught me to speak with elderly people since they have so much to share. Yet I can't really with my own grandma often, seeing as how she's an extreme alcoholic and pill addict. I just found your channel today, and I already love it :) Hope you're doing well!!
Hi Kiley, Im 52 and have 3 kids. My Grandmother was born in 1903 and her mother was still wearing corsets! When I was 17 I asked her what the meaning of life was. She said "having fun". At the time I thought this was a pretty lame answer but now I get it. The older you get the harder life becomes and having fun becomes rare. My grandmother lived to 96 and I miss her. I hope you can find a way to connect with yours even though it is hard, she will be gone one day and when this happens you will have so many questions you'd wished you had asked. Remember to have fun in your life if you can!
@@bluefoxblitz8416 Very sweet message! Yes, the past year or so I actually have been closer to my grandma. Not super close, but much better than in the past. I've always wondered what people say the meaning of life is, my mom says that when I was 4 years old I asked her, "What is this life mommy? This life just can't be real. How long does this life go on, mommy?" 😂 I definitely agree with what you and your family think.
Ask everyday: 1. What is your perfect day? 2. Who do you spend your time every day? 3. Is this in my control? 4. Are you a to be or to do person? 5. What am I missing in life if I choose to be afraid? 6. What is really important to you? 7. Does this really matter? ~ and so on distracted by ads 🤣 Thank you for your great content!
Sandra, I love your channel, at 69 years of age I sometimes think, “well this is it and my life is set” you remind all of us that we can and will continue to learn new things, try new things, and continue to grow mentally and spiritually. You are like a 30 year old with your wonderful outlook on life and living everyday to its fullest. Thank you.
Good morning Sandra yesterday was Valentine’s Day and this 70+ year old widow, woke up, feeling rather lonely and a little unloved. Which also made me feel selfish because I have two lovely children who I know love me. Within an hour of having these feelings, my bell rang, and I received a lovely bouquet of flowers and cards from them, I felt happy, blessed and a little ashamed. It’s 3am and I couldn’t sleep so I looked you up. What a blessing you are Sandra. I will be asking myself these questions every day. ❤
I’m a recent subscriber ( 60) & I can not imagine starting my day now, Sandra, without your inner & outer beauty, lovely calming voice & the wisdom and beauty of your mind. I remain a grateful & blessed because of you. Your newest fan with much love and appreciation ❤❤❤
8 questions: 0:55 What does your ideal day look like? Is this perfect day that I am mapping out going to be getting me closer to the type of life that I want? 2:02 Who are you spending time with? What kind of people are they? 3:02 Is this in my control? 4:30 Are you a To-Be or To-Do person? (Results oriented, being active and doing something) 5:33 What am I missing if I'm afraid or worried? 6:24 What is the most important thing to you in the big picture? ( to find the real balance in your life) 7:48 Does this actually matter? (People you love / Being the best person you can be) 9:07 Is this Who I want to be? Thank you for a great video! 😊
My mom died young and I don’t have a grandma ..watching your videos makes me feel like I’m having a grandma to chat with ❤️❤️ I love your energy and appreciate your wisdom ❤️
You have postet this one year ago and I found it just now. And it fits so much to my situation just now. And I think it fits to any situation anytime. Inspiring words from a wise woman. Thank you so much 🙏🏻❤️
... From Québec, I'am 71 years old and will tell you how your videos inspire me ... I try to well translate in French your kind words ... Thanks you ... Be blessed ...
Thank you Sandra for being here! I am 25 years old and I discovered your channel a couple of weeks ago and I watched many of your videos. You are so wise and kind!❤ I never had a grandmother and neither my mom was not this kind of person who could give me wise advices for my adult life. You bring a lot of ideas I needed to hear from a long time ago and I am so glad I found you here! Take care of yourself and keep bringing sunshine in so many people’s life!
Thank you Sandra for lifting me up tonight. My 51 yr old daughter has been diagnosed with uterine cancer. I still can’t believe it; I know I am in denial with such a terrible event in our family. I think why her instead of me? She has a lot of living to do and I am closing in on the end of my life and healthy. It’s hard to have a positive attitude when there is so much suffering that can happen and no control over it. But, my faith will walk me through this and know there will come strength and grace that will keep me strong and my family.
2\14\2024. Just now listened to this video. Very nice thank you. I woke with more back pain then normal and a headache and I was walking my mind away from "ooh poor me." So I was looking for Jesus and I wondered what he thought and I gave thanks for Him and my life. And I started asking what do I want to do? Normal first video I listen to is a daily Bible reading. But your video was the right place to start this morning. Thank you.
Great questions. For me: My elderly mother, my animals, and music (being a vocalist once again!) And off course some family member's physical health and spiriitual growth that is lacking. there. I wish my mother had had the opportunity to have you as a friend/guide, if it it had been so, her life would have been so much better. ❤
Thank you Sandra for being such a warm and cheerful person. I'm 61 and it just assures me that ageieng doesn't automatically turn a person into a cynical, bitter and demanding person. No ! Someone at work said this about me some months ago : Just don't be fooled by Tricia; wait a few years down the line..... all this pleasantness and understanding person will be gone ;she will be a demanding, difficult , mean person. I refused that description and pointed out that if I disliked something my whole life there is no way I'm going to like it in my old age. Thank you that you are a living proof that one can be pleasant, warm and caring even as you are in your senior years.
Sad some people are that way. I believe that life’s challenges does affect us in different ways and some people are negative and want to drag others down. Just be happy being who you are (life may not be perfect but CHOOSE to see the good in all things helps to be the best version of yourself).
Hello Sandra, am so happy i found you. I have always miss my mom and grandma. But watching you talk is just like am learning from them as well. I will always come back to listen and watch your videos because it gave so much answer to what we mostly worried about. Learning from you is a great privilege. Life can be so unfair some times but we'll not let ourselves down with your impactful knowledge. Thanks so much, Am 38 yrs and i love you.from Nigeria
Dear Sandra ! I love your channel. I‘m 60 years old and you show me that, when you get older, you can still be curious, full of life and attractive. Your life experience and wisdom give me good impulses for my life. You are a wonderful woman. Warm greetings from Germany ❤
You have a gift of clarification, Ms. Sandra. Your questions of, "What does your ideal day look like?" and "What are you missing if you're afraid or worried?" are laser specific to help keep my thoughts going in the right direction. Much gratitude for your ability to communicate your wisdom! On another note, thank you for allowing us to see you au naturelle...a nice touch while you're talking about what's truly important.
Am I that only one male subscriber who watch Sandra....lol sounds weird but I play her video when am sleeping 😴 she is such inspiration and very positive person.
I know how to start my "Ideal Day " on Tuesdays and that is listening to your pod cast first thing in the morning. It starts off my day in a good mood and I've learned important lessons. Thank you Sandra and hi to Arthur.
Peace and love is what is most important. Tired of all the chaos and drama. I had all older friends so many passed away. My good friend came back from Mexico after traveling abroad with 3 gut bacterias plus other health things so not sure how long she will be here. I've learned to like my own company and of course i have my Shih tzu. Luna Rose, love her so much. I also have my soul mate, he can be a challange but i love him.
“What is important in your life?”...Sandra Safety is extremely important in my life. Probably because I came from a single mother background and survival resources were alway extremely scarce; often we were on public assistance. And my mother conveyed her terror by way of cautionary tales about life! This traumatized me to alway focus on safety foremost. Over a lifetime I earned several degrees, started a few small businesses and took some chances in order to earn higher rewards in the financial markets.All this I did NOT because I was ambitious, HARDLY...I did it because I was always SCARED...
Thank you for another positive video. You always lift me up. And motivate me to do better. I am definitely a doer kind of person. My best kind of day is a day with some time outside walking my dear two little dogs. Spending time with my husband and doing something productive.
I am still working on restoring my house after it has been devastated by Ian and listening to you as my evening routine ☺️ Thank you! I am eternally grateful for my life, thank you for lifting us up🥰
I just adore Sandra. Her advice here is a real gift. I'm 63 years old this year, and I needed to hear this tonight. I've been having health issues as a result of injuries suffered while serving in the military, and it's been depressing, to be honest. Also, while I was in no way still in love with my ex-wife, but I found it depressing that she passed away this summer. So, it was rather nice to hear Sandra's advice. Thank you, Sandra.
I used to be a To do person but since I was divorced I am a To be. My mostly time is spend with myself, a little dog and a she cat. Sometimes sadness knocks the door of my heart and I accept it. We cannot be cheerful all the time. Dear Sandra, thank you for all these questions, I am always expecting your vídeo with your warm and clever words🙏
Maybe somewhere is a man, who was divorced, with a little dog and a she cat...! 🙂 Why not starting to find new contacts..? I wish you all the best! I am as well often alone, sometimes it is not easy, but I like it to go the cinema and I'm learning Italian and English and I read a lot! There are a lot of people on this planet who feel like you! 🌄❤️
Oh yeah same here, her videos are so inspiring Hey hmm, sadness is part of life, we've all lost someone special and it hurts deeply and is a never healing wound, but we have to try to cheer up sometimes, try to find happiness in the little things around us Anyway I hope you're doing great, You can talk it out sometimes you know
I'm 20 years old and I find your videos really inspiring. Right now I'm going through a difficult period in my life and what you've said in this video really helped me to reconsider somw things. This were the words I really needed to hear. Thank you so much for your videos 💗
Irina, please take care of yourself in your 20s. Please do not get involved with anyone who is addicted to alcohol or drugs or food or drama or anything else, if you get involved with someone like that, you will regret it for the rest of your life, believe me. If anyone is physically, sexually, verbally, emotionally or financially abusive to you, leave immediately, never give them a second chance, never give them your new address, change your phone number and passwords and never give them to the abuser. Never get involved with someone else's husband, they will not leave her for you. That is one mistake I didn't make, I never got involved with anyone else's husband or boyfriend. But in my beauty, innocence and naivete I got into a relationship with a "dry alcoholic" who abused me and pretty much destroyed most of my life. I did not realise then that the choices we make in our twenties affect the rest of our lives. Protect yourself from toxic abusive relationships. I was always surrounded by "friends" and admirers in my 20s. I learned the hard way that being alone is much better than being in bad company.
I’m so happy I’ve found your channel, Sandra 🌻You’re wise, inspiring and and a great role model. Thank you so much!🤍Love from a 37 year old mom in Norway🇳🇴
Good morning my beautiful friend> I ask many questions every single day. I like to think I have a especial connection to the Lord. My biggest concern is making sure my son is well! As for me I always asked God if I did something good today that pleased Him!. My life has changed so much after pandemic, and I realized the things that truly matter to me and one of them is peace of mine. I make sure that I did something good for someone every single day. It is not only about me but about others that are less fortunate in life. I hope to be a better person than I was yesterday and be better tomorrow than I was today. I am a bubbly person and I walk around always talking to others and loving life. Mom was like that.......So glad to have friends like you.................hugs.......ILY..................MINDY
Wow beautiful comment Wow, I can eat this kind of food all day and never get tired, these are indeed wise words and her voice is so calming We should all learn to appreciate life and live more Anyway nice, smile how are you,?
I’m 20 , I live with my grandma and she has raised me my whole life basically. I’m frustrated with myself that i can’t take her advice as easily as yours… when she’s said these things lots of times . I often say it’s because she’s my mom too so there’s a part of me that has hatefulness in me so i don’t want to believe what she’s saying … I’ve realized a lot about myself and how i treat a woman i love very much and only want the best for her life like she does mine .
Sandra, you're such a good big sister for me! The world as it is today needs more people like you! I want to be like that too! You're a blessing to all of us here! 🤗
Sandra you are so inspiring to me. I am having a very lonely time and your video gets me to stop and realize I really do matter. I have been trying to pull out of this state of mind. Thank you so very much for your videos. Please keep them coming. I'm sure I am not the only person feeling this way. Thank you
Dear Sandra, I'm turning 30 in few days and I feel like I'm changing so much (for the better). You channel contributes to help the process because it's full of inspiring reflections and subjects. I dream that those kind of topics will be taught regularly in schools, one day! 🙏✨ Thank you for your kindness in sharing for free all of your wisdom! 🥹❤️ Cheers from Italy, Debora
So glad to see you are ok. Sending prayers to all affected by Hurricane Ian, they don't have control over where the food and water and help will come from... We can make that difference, close the gap between getting help and not getting help. 🙏🙏🙏 Thank you again❤️💕
So happy to see you this morning Sandra. You are a ray of sunshine on this rainy gloomy Tuesday. Love you in the red dress and hat sitting among flowers. Wishing you and Arthur a blessed Tuesday.
I’m always happy to see you have started a new discussion. Your positive attitude and energy are contagious! Thank you for guiding me to be the person I want to be and to live the life I want to live. 😊💕
Sandra, I appreciate you and your videos so much ! At 25 years old, I find myself coming here for some sage advice and guidance on how to re-center myself when my reality begins to feel overwhelming ..thanks again ! I hope you have a wonderful rest of your week :)
Sandra- I felt as if you read my mind! I’ve been privately wallowing & worrying over life circumstances (caregiver to husband with cancer, disabled son with kidney failure & 101 yr old mother in law & it’s all out of my control- but it begs the question: who do I want to be... what kind of person do I want to show the world? Thanks for the sensitivity & care with which your message was presented
I am 32 and I just discovered your channel! You are a wonderful and incredibly sweet person. I've been listening to your videos for the past three days and I find all your content comfortable to my ears and mind in this loud world. Thank you for sharing beautiful thoughts that inspire us to be better human beings xx
You are such a joy. I just turned 25 and am struggling so much lately. My mom (adopted mom) is 81 and her dementia is so bad now. The way you speak I know she would to me if she was well. I want to share with you I donated my kidney last year to a stranger and it made me feel so amazing. I feel you when you say to do something good. It's just over a year and I'm more proud of that moment then when I joined the army years ago.
Beautiful lady, Here is the phrase I repeat to myself, often out loud, every day: "I am NOW the man (or woman) I would like to be!" Also, "I am NOW the man (or woman) I was meant to be!" Somehow, by declaring this in the present tense, I am empowered to live out those ideals of who and what I desire to be. There is magic in this method! I think of the scripture which says, "God declares those things which be not, as though they were!" We are to be emulators of Him, and therefore, by utilizing this principle, we, too, can speedily have come to pass that which we desire to become. Right here and right now! Blessings to you, lovely wise lady, and to all. In His Love, Mack
Love your perspective on life. Hang out with good grounded people. I am blessed with a sister-in-law in hospice in her home & she is so loving. Thinking of others all the time. She is a positive person. She is 83. She is not worried or afraid. My family was always negative. They are all gone. Sad now seeing how they were-I choose differently- thanks lovely Sandra!❤️
Sometimes I feel pushed into want I don’t want my life to be. Somedays I feel stuck. This video made me smile. I know I can only control my life. I appreciate you making these points. I will begin asking myself these questions and teaching my adult children. I believe we make our own paths. And when we know better, we do better. My life has been broken a few times, because I allowed it. Some people don’t get me. My family thinks it’s funny that I can be poor but yet happy. God makes sure my needs are met and he loves me. That’s one of the biggest thing that matters to me. Life hasn’t been perfect, but it’s good. I’m thankful everyday. And I’m thankful for you Sandra. ❤
Hi Sandy I got hit hard by hurricane IAN living in Southwest Florida!! Part of my roof destroyed. My shed is gone my trees gone my white vinyl fence is gone but I thank God daily I can still have a home to live in unlike my neighbors who are homeless. Be thankful and don't wait till it's too late
Sandra randomly popped up on my recommended and I have to admit its the BEST recommendation I've ever seen on RU-vid! I simply LOVE her energy, and the way she speaks calms me down so much. Thank you, Sandra.. keep it up, you are amazing!❤
I so enjoy watching your videos! You're like a godmother. I've always wanted a wise and gentle woman to look up to, who can instill wisdom into my life, especially when I've learned a lot of things the wrong way from my own mother. I always pray to God to put wise people into my life from whom I can learn from. You're definitely one!!!
Sandra, you are so uplifting and simply the BEST. No wonder you look so good always- fit and beautiful. Sending you warmest regards from Plano, Texas. Cheers!
This what kind of grandma i wished to have and still wishing... Love you Sandra I'm really enjoying your videos, hope you the health and the happiness 🤍
60 here and I so adore that what Florida calls Sunrooms. I could really enjoy coffee there. I love my view also. Straight up woods with all animals scurrying around. You have an amazing day.
Good morning Sandra! you always give me mental clarity listening to you, being in my 80s I just roll with it, and by the grace of God we in South Florida got spared but the West Coast took a beating, went to the grocery store with empty shelves and all I could think of so what people lost their homes, the weather is beautiful I'm now going for my morning walk take care of yourself Sandra and as always give my love to Arthur and Sophie until next Tuesday if God willing
Good morning Sandra, you are looking spectacularly well and glowing this morning! Interesting, thought-provoking material in today's conversation. I'll have to give it all some thought.
Thank you so much, Sandra. I hope you know how helpful and meaningful it is to people like us. I'm 28 y/o and been constantly asking myself these questions to find my inner peace and calmness amid the ongoing crowded world these days. Your videos are always motivating for me on that journey I've been taking. Many thanks for your share! ❤️❤️❤️
I always enjoy spending time with you Sandra. I have several scenarios of my perfect day, and they all begin with prayer, gratitude, and a great cup of coffee. We followed Ian on the news, and knew you were OK, and for that I am thankful. It's such a tragic ordeal. Blessings, prayers, and love, My friend..MaryEllen
Hi Sandra:). I’m so glad to hear you are safe from Ian. I’m on the east coast of FL and my home and car were flooded…I’m doing the best I can with the anxiety and depression at the moment. I know others still have it worse than me. My son is doing everything he can to get things under control. At the moment I’m still in a state of shock but there must still be a purpose for my life cuz I’m still here:). Sending love and 🤗 🤗💕🤗💕🤗💕🤗💕🤗🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I wish you all the best! Don't give up and try to do everything step by step! The trick is to live from day to day and sometimes just from hour to hour! Take care of yourself! You are alive and this is all that counts! And of course that your beloved family and friends are alright! I am from Germany and we don't have Hurricans, but we have more floods here in the last years! There was a great katastrophe in the south of Germany, but now slowly everything is going to be better! 🌄❤️
I’m in the Tampa Bay Area and we were mostly spared. Good luck to you and don’t hesitate to ask for help from your community. I will say a prayer for you. 🙏
Hi Sandra, Your videos are beautiful. I am 32 and have had a challenging 2 years. Basically every area of my life expect my home was uprooted. I also had my son who is now 2. I really think children are catalysts for growth and change within. Your videos came to me at a really challenging time and i appreciate how grounding they are.
Thanks for this wonderful presentation. It is so because here we find importance of individuality, power of understanding, clarity of mind, shouldering the responsibility whatever the role we have been assigned to etc. Dealing with all these things are important because Man is a bundle of contradictions and life is full of different colors. Each individual is on his/her personal voyage. Life experiences of elderly persons help us in our life journey.
Hello Sandra, I'm a 76 year empty nester. It is so easy to neglect ourselves & drift from day to day when we live alone. I thank you for your inspirational topics!
Wow!!! You remind me of my grandma. She is no more. She used to give me orange candy when I was a kid. She used to tell me folktales. She indeed loved me so much. You are not alone. Our love and prayers are with you.
