Great advice you give help and hope to those that need to make that first step. Thank you for the encouragement we all need at times. To be excepted you have to except. It take two to make something really work. Listening to you has helped me realize that I have alienated myself for fear of being let down. No longer will I feel that way it is I that holds myself back not others. Being able to write these words down the way I have felt is my first step Thank you Schellea
Thats so great Shirley! I think so many of us alienate ourselves for fear of being let down, rejected, hurt, criticised ...But as you can see we are all feeling the same way and there is something we can do about it! Thank you so much for watching and have a beautiful weekend 💕
fabulous50s, please start a group here plz.
It will be ready by next week Aqua fina ❤️

Shirley here is a link to the Fb group...Love to see you there ❤️facebook.com/groups/290247628386380/
This is so me! I am a single mother of three grown children, and I literally don't have one "real life," friend! I work from home and I spend about 95% of my time ALONE! I have definitely gotten accustomed to that, but I know it's not healthy and I am missing out on some of life's really nice gifts!
Hi Natalie! Its more common than you think...So we have gotta find some of those really nice gifts you talk about 👍...Thank you so much for watching and have a beautiful weekend 💕
Natalie here is the FB link ❤️facebook.com/groups/290247628386380/
Natalie Peterson i i hear you all to well
I totally resonate. Im single mother too. I do home office each week and I feel really isolated saying all Day home and I also got no friends as i work in projects so i can only stay as long as the project does. Send you blessings
You nailed it. What country do you live in? I am open to a penfriend if you would like someone to connect with
Such great advice. I could feel isolated. I recently lost my husband, and my kids both moved away...but I refuse to be a sad and lonely person. I surround myself with happy positive people. Friends can definitely lift you up. Keep busy and do things you love!
Hi Idelle! Go You! get out there and do the things that make you happy...Thanks for the inspiration...Have a beautiful week 💕
Good for you! Can I humbly request a yearly update? How are you today?
I just found your channel and want to say that I love your spirit and energy! I became an empty nester right around the time my mom (who was my best friend) passed away. I am naturally a shy person and have always had self esteem issues. Without my mom I felt isolated for the first time in my life. I was deeply grieving the loss of my mother while also coming to terms with my empty nest. I am blessed to have a few really true friends, but most no longer live near me or are still busy raising their families. I went to counseling and received much the same advice you have given here. I ended up starting a Meetup group for ladies over 50, and have made some wonderful friends through that avenue. I also joined a Bible study that led to more friendships. I met a new friend with the same fitness goals as me who I now exercise with a couple of times a week. My life gradually began to fill with people I have grown to love and care about. It didn’t happen overnight but with time and moving outside my comfort zone it DID happen! I am no longer afraid to take the lead in asking a new friend to meet for lunch or an outing. I think my mom would be proud of me.
Hi Nancy and a warm welcome to fabulous50s! I'm happy you are here...I went through something similar with both parents passing and kids leaving...It can be debilitating and takes time...Your amazing for taking action and starting a group...And from there new passions can grow...Thank you so much for watching and have a beautiful week 💕
Nancy here is the FB group ❤️facebook.com/groups/290247628386380/
Nancy Dynes, you deserve better
It is amazing how so many of us feel the same way. I think the idea about starting a group is great!
Hi Bonnie! So many of us feel the same because we are all going through the same things...FB group is on the way...Thank you so much for watching and have a beautiful weekend 💕

Hi Bonnie happy new year hope this year brings you joy and happiness 😊😊
Please let me know if a support group was started, i would love to join.
I give up as it seems the internet has become my new companion as it has for everyone else
Really loneliness is not something we can control but the truth is we all need that loving and caring person around us especially when we gets older . How are you doing ?
Oh my goodness, yes! Please start a group here! Thank you for this!

Hi 👋
Thank you so much for this! I was feeling that isolation anxiety this morning and this was such a gift. Everything in our lives really does change and many of my younger friends think it is just a poor excuse. They will find out in time. Love the idea of a private FB group❤️
Pamela Vendetti , Ditto!! I, too, would join!!💖
I also love the idea of a private FB group! If you make one please add me.
Hi my name is Rose Marie I would love if someone would start a FB group I am 56 and also suffer my depression and often feel isolated please let me know ❤️
Hi Pamela! I don't think you can know what it feels like until you have experienced it...So your young friends can't possible understand...I will start a private group for sure...Just got to work out how to do it...Give me a week...Thank you so much for watching and have a beautiful weekend 💕
Im on it Bridget...Hopefully next week ❤️
I love that your channel is not just about beauty and makeup but also very inspirational! This really hit home for me today. Thank you so much! The struggle is real!
Janine Alexa I can’t believe I came a cross your comment about the struggle is real
I have in my living room a quote THE STRUGGLE IS REAL
Framed and the words light up in different colors I found it accidentally while shopping one day
These words are so true ❤️
👍
Thanks for watching Janine Alexa 😁 Im so happy you got something form it...And Yes the struggle is real! ❤️
Thank you Schellea, you really spoke to me today. My husband had to retire early on disability and I work part time. The problem is I feel like my world has gotten smaller and smaller because we don’t have couples that we do things with so I feel like I am trying to widen my world with my work. Thank you for your advice
Hi Lori! Its great that you have the choice to widen your world with work...Baby steps...Start filling your mind with really great content and things you are passionate about...that will make you much happier than having couple friends....Thank you so much for watching and have a beautiful weekend 💕
fabulous50s Epiphany! Thank you, I see it now how pursuing your interests will open your world up, that's how you'll meet people and you'll already have the conversation started. Very wise.
Your wise too Pamela! You've got it! 💝
I have seen your channel but didn’t look any further into it because you are so beautiful, as an average looking, overweight 63 year old I didn’t think I could relate to anything you had to say. Then I decided to view some of your videos. I have subscribed! You have a beautiful soul and some wonderful messages! While physically I will never look as good as you, doesn’t mean I can’t make the most of what I have been given. You are an inspiration! Thank you for these messages! This is an especially meaningful message you have today!
❤️❤️❤️love, love, love your channel!
Hi Miss Kitty and a warm welcome to fabulous50s! I'm happy you are here...I am really touched by your comment and I congratulate you on deciding to love what you already have inside of you...Thats everything and it will radiate to those who are around you...Have an amazing week 💕
I am alone grown up kids and I have loads female friends. But no partner. Had enough of this.
Im single too:( let me know if you want to chat sometime. Im 34 good looks and personality
Ladies, you are the star of your story. You write the chapters in your book. If you dont like the way it is going turn the page! So much great advice Schellea! I am so glad I found your channel. Mwah Sweetheart.

Great advice Schellea! I have a buddy like that!. We've been there for each other through thick and thin for years. She is a mirror for me and for my triumphs and failures. She pulls me out of my low points and I do the same for her. This is a treasured relationship that I also encourage everyone to have. Love your vlogs. You are an inspiration.
Thanks so much iahorvath! How wonderful to have your such a great friend! Have a beautiful week 💕
Thank you so much Schellea! You've offered some great advice/tips here. I live in Toronto, and at 57 years, I have lost connection with most of my friends. I have one good friend who lives in another city, and who is very strong, disciplined and has more energy than anyone I have ever known. One of my patterns, which I've been dealing with since I was a child, is that I compare myself for others. When faced with this, some people push harder to succeed and to be seen. I do the opposite, I shrink, quit and tell myself I am just not good enough. I've gone back to school, taking a copywriting/advertising program, which is online and all the other students are 22 and connecting with each other with great ease. I regret signing up for this program because I realize I am just not passionate enough to follow social media, and listen to advertising. I believe one has to be a certain kind of "animal' to get into the advertising world. I have gone through Menopause but in recent times have also noticed increased anger and sadness and have started to wonder if it is hormonal? I am trying a supplement called "Adrenal Chill," but with natural supplements, it may take quite some time to notice if I feel better. I have thought about trying to connect with others, but just don't know how? I am afraid I actually repel people because I either retreat, or think I have a very needy energy, and try too hard to be liked. A lose lose situation. Perhaps I can find a Meet up group here in Toronto? Yes, I've become very afraid to "get out there."
Hi Rose. I'm 53 and returned back to school as well except I'm back for nursing. It's been my life goal to enter the medical profession and I finally can, now that my children are grown. I understand your retreating as I am guilty of that too. I get so enthralled with my courses that it takes my focus away from keeping up with friends. I live in the NYC area. Unfortunately too far for coffee but I'm available as a penpal.
I also am in the midst of menopause. Not an easy time indeed. With raging (or lack of) hormones my emotions can be everywhere. I am happily married for 31 years and have an incredibly supportive husband but it is nice to share this with a girlfriend. If you need someone to talk/ write, and share life please connect. Stay well.
@@isabelp480 please connect with me
Oh, thank you for this! 💗😊 I had no idea others were experiencing the same issues! It was always so easy for me to make friends but after moving to a new city and turning 50(I’m 53 now), in menopause, it’s like my world fell apart. I don’t understand why making friends is so hard, but I will not give up! I love makeup, eating and cooking healthy foods and looking my best..it’s as fun for me now as it has always been..just different!
Thanks for watching Lora! Its definitely a challenge, I agree...Its great that you are passionate about all the fun stuff too... I have started a private FB group, Love to see you there...Have a great weekend ❤️
Thank you so much for your videos! You are such an inspiration to me and your video came just in time when I really need it this advice!
Hi Theresa! I'm so happy this helped... Thanks for watching and have a beautiful weekend 💕
Theresa Owen Shull,I admire your lovely smile!
For some people, life can a long and lonely journey. When it's my time to leave, I'll never want to go through it again.
HOPE u meet heaven. I got abused by my parents. I SHOULD be confident prepared in life but they ruined me with trauma. Now i have this burden.
Same i hope I will never have to be on earth again.
I do need to take my own advice, especially for the exercise aspect at age 48..
Classes at the gym definitely help you meet people.... 🧘♀️
Your so right Patrice! Thank you so much for watching and have a beautiful weekend 💕
Good advice! I'm actually in my early 60's and am going through the same thing.
Brand new brown
Thank you so much for the buddy idea. I think I will try to set this up with a friend of mine after summer, it is such a good idea, and, thanks to Skype, we do not even have to move out of our house if we are not in the mood. Great video 😊
Hi Véronique JULIENNE! Its great you have someone in mind and, yes...You gotta love Skype...Thank you so much for watching and have a beautiful weekend 💕
I'm 53. Once I hit 50 I've been more depressed and seeing the changes in my body and my face has lost its softness. I feel it more during Covid. If I had Oprah money I would be traveling the world and build my own man...these men today are leaving me dry...Not menopause lol
@William Sharman she rejected you 🤷♂️
@lola because dating isn't set in women's favor after the age of 30. After 40 is no man's land and at 50 generally most women are invisible to high value men. So you honestly have to adjust your standards or you will end up living alone with cats.
I enjoy seeing ppl like you all depressed. Just like how you left the men in ur 20s now they get to treat you the same after you hit the wall.
Wow, how did you even know how and what I was thinking and feeling ?....
I have this lost feeling for a few months and no energy as well.
I am in menopause and I don’t know what to expect with it but if this is what I have to go through then you can have it for me. I feel my body has betrayed me, silly I know but that’s how I feel.
Need to get a buddy and to make Me accountable for Me. Great advise and so glad I decided to view your channel today as I had my cup of tea.❤️🤗, from Newfoundland ,🇨🇦
Hi Bernadine and a warm welcome to fabulous50s! I'm happy you are here...So many of us are feeling the same way...Its so unexpected and sudden...Look for the light at the end of the tunnel...Thank you so much for watching and have a beautiful week 💕
Bernadine Royal yeah it sucks, but it gets better after what seems like eons. Really doesn't change anything especially who you are it just feels that way. Stay strong!

She's not the first in the world! There are 1000s of us all the same. We just need to find others who can empathise with us
Wow....did u ever hit the reason for my emotional breakdown this week. At 56, kids leaving the nest and me left at home, I have felt very isolated and alone. We have moved to different cities with my husband’s job many times for years. Seems every time I actually made a freind..we moved. This move and I can’t seem to make friends. Great advice. Gonna try to look into ur suggestions. Thank u!!
Hi sherilynschneider! It sounds like you have devoted yourself to others for a very long time...Maybe the next phase of your life could be about you??? Thank you so much for watching and have a beautiful weekend 💕
sherilynschneider Have you heard of www.meetup.com? It's a website that focuses on matching people with similar interests. You list your hobbies & interests & it will generate emails to you, with local 'meet up' meetings in your area. (example: a knitting group may meet at Panera at noon on a particular Saturday) I just found out about it myself & am considering joining in on meetings.
Great idea TG 👍
sherilynschneider It takes such a lot of effort and willpower to put yourself out there doesn’t it? And people are reluctant to make friends if they think you’ll be moving on again soon....it’s a bit different when you have children to help with the contacts. I found church helped a lot. Even if you don’t have a faith, they are usually very welcoming and supportive. Hope it turns round for you. I am the least mothering sort of mother, but the way I felt about the children leaving home really took me by surprise and that must be so magnified when you have to start again in a new place. ❤️
Hi Sherilyn! Here is a link to the private FB group ❤️ facebook.com/groups/290247628386380/
Great advice! Helping and focusing on others instead of our self is the key!!! When we give of our selves and our love it lifts us up as well. Ladies you are Loved!!!
Hi Sandy! Congratulations on your fabulous Instagram page! Thanks so much for watching ❤️
Yes, I can relate to all you are talking about !
Thank you thank you thank you. I’m recently retired and feel lost. This really helped.
Hi Lori! Its time to re invent yourself....Thank you so much for watching and have a beautiful weekend 💕
@@fabulous50s Hello what does FB group mean? I just signed to your channel I'm glad I did. In 60 newly retired from hospitality management. No kids only one brother.
I'm going to start at the gym and church.
I really fear growing old alone. I understand I have to think and act. I would be grateful for any ideas and or information thanks to you
I agree with getting out there. I just went back to joining a yoga class. I also do volunteer work. It helps! You are absolutely correct, it is taking baby steps. Have a great day!
Kathie, you look gorgeous,hope you are with a good man!
Thank you for all these thoughts I am all ready for new friends but where are they ..
Thank you for your positive vibes! You are so kind and encouraging! I am in a transitional situation and it’s always very helpful to find positive people who encourage our vision of a “new me”. I totally agree, that we are in control and responsible four our lives, our bodies etc. Nevertheless it’s sometimes quite hard to come out of the comfort zone and try something new. Thank you.
it's a pleasure to listen to you. thanks !!
Hi Sylviane! Thank you so much for watching and have a beautiful weekend 💕
Really loneliness is not something we can control but the truth is we all need that loving and caring person around us especially when we gets older . How are you doing ?
So glad you addressed this subject.
Hey Angela Bolden! I'm happy you enjoyed the video...Have an amazing day 🤗
This is good advice for everyone. Thank you 🙏
Thanks ❤️ Your right, this applies to everyone ❤️
Thank you, Schellea. I really needed this.
You are very welcome Cherie Reiche! Thanks so much for watching...Have a great day 💕
Shellea, this was spot on ❤️. Struggling with the what’s next ? Thank you- thank you
Janet
Thanks so much for watching Obs Daughter! Think back to when you were 18...You probably had no idea what was next back then either...Now when you face the same dilemma...You are smarter, wiser and have had a life time of experience 🙌 Have a great weekend ❤️
Hi Schellea! Love love love this video. Thanks
Thanks for watching Stacey 😁 Have a beautiful weekend 🌸
Wow so inspiring!!!! You are amazing. Wish I meet someone who is as positive, as enthusiastic, as good and as energetic as you. God bless you.
Hi Amu G! Thanks so much for watching and leaving a lovely comment... Have an amazing week. 💕
So glad for your channel! Will try tip #1, great idea. My accountability partner is in New Zealand and I am in the US, so fun. ❤
Hi Avrilabril Bro and a warm welcome to fabulous50s! Tip #1 is really powerful...Thats awesome you have a buddy in NZ 👍 Thank you so much for watching and have a beautiful week 💕
Wow did I ever need this video today⚘thank you so much. It's strange how we feel like we're a rare case,when billions of other women are feeling the same way.
Really good video (as always!), very uplifting. As someone who quite likes my own company, I recognise though when I need others and try to get the right balance between the two. Having moved to a new area two years ago following divorce, and sadly losing my best friend the year before that, and the usual stuff as you mentioned (and more!!), I have felt very isolated at times and it's dreadful! Xx
Deborah Smith , I am so sorry for your losses!!😢. Good for you for moving to a new place though. I know how hard that is!! I did it almost 5 years ago and it is VERY isolating at times. Much luck to you😚
Hi Deborah! You have experienced a lot of loss and being quiet and alone is sometimes the most perfect remedy...Balance is the key...Thank you so much for watching and have a beautiful weekend 💕
Beauty By Bridget D Thank you so much for your kind words, they mean a lot to me! I'm still "finding my feet" in my new world and I don't always like it, but somehow get through. I hope after your move some years ago you are feeling more settled too ....... Take care xx
fabulous50s Thank you Schellea! I could say a whole lot more but all of a sudden I do feel a bit overwhelmed and I can't actually put into words what I'd like to say! What I would like to say though is "thank you" for making this video - it's very thought provoking and I've actually watched more than once! Having read some of the other comments here, I can see what a wonderful bunch of people are in this community, each sharing their thoughts and offering encouragement to others - it's fantastic! You are so right about the impact of social media but this is exactly where it can only do good! I'm getting ready to meet one of my brothers who has kindly given up one off his days off from work to take me out for lunch as an early celebration for my 56th birthday on Monday, bringing along our Mum too, which I'm really looking forward to! Hope you have a lovely weekend too xx
Deborah you did a great job of articulating how you feel...And yes, I agree...You are all wonderful!❤️❤️❤️
I definitely needed this today!!!! I always feel like I’m rt on the edge of greatness but the last “rain drop” doesn’t come and push out the water the rest of the way of the barrel.....
Monica, that last rain drop may come as early as tomorrow so never give up 🙌
As a man, who has been alone lol my life, I would love to find a woman in my age range who desires love, to be cherished, and truly appreciated. Life is finite, older folks are far past the younger confusion with who they should be. The presenter is right on the mark. I greatly appreciate her taking the time and effort to present these lovely nuggets of knowledge!
Bro these women only made it to this age because they are too damn picky. It cost them husbands and families. They would just make your life miserable.
Schellea, I am 45 and I really needed to hear what you say in this video.
Thank you so much for all the positivity 😍.
PS: You look extra amazing in this lace top 👌
Sophie Acapella ❤️
Thank you So much for talking about things many don't want to talk about. Great video
Really loneliness is not something we can control but the truth is we all need that loving and caring person around us especially when we gets older . How are you doing ?
Great video !!!! Good advice !!! Helping is so good too and like you said then u don’t think about yourself :) LOVE YOUR TOP AND YOU LOOK BEAUTIFUL TODAY xoxo 💕
Thanks Jackie! Your right...Helping is so good 🙌 Thank you so much for watching and have a beautiful weekend 💕
Great video Schellea, I can totally relate to this. I had no clue that I would become such a different person after my divorce. My kids are grown and gone, and it's time for me to start living. Baby steps... Thank You!
Hi Lana! We are in the perfect life stage for a total re invention...Nothing is holding you back now...Its all about you 🙌 Thank you so much for watching and have a beautiful week💕
I’m 49 now but about 13 years ago, when I got divorced, and had a young child I was raising myself, I literally had to create a new social support structure for myself, I made To Do lists to come up with ideas and dates to implement those ideas (to expand my social horizons), and I would work out at the local YMCA on a Saturday nite just to get out of the house , I started a book club on Meetup and met some lovely ladies,I even started a website with positive articles on motivation (it was a win-win because it helped me and others a swell), it was a slow journey but today I have a strong social circle plus I’m wayyy fitter than I was when I got divorced .
Thats so inspiring Terri! Your out there making things happen and helping other people who feel the same way ❤️
Lana Lane, you got a lovely smile
Great advice, thank you so much! I love Brené Brown's books and I'm glad you've mentioned her.
Thanks Tereza! Isn't she amazing! Thank you so much for watching and have a beautiful week 💕
Yes please start a group here, i so need this!!!
Seriously you just described me. I have four children 2 girls 18 and 16 who i have no contact with at all. None. Ive no idea where they live . Nothing. Its a long story. Ive suffered depression anxiety etc most of my life. I dont have 1 friend not 1. I tend not to get close to people. I was diagnosed with ptsd. Again long story. My son 26 is still at home in his own unit and ive got my 14 yr old daughter with me. I adore my children and no contact for over 2 years is beyond heartbreaking. Im nearly post penapause but still have hot flushes. I cannot go on hrt due to lupus. My fobl test came back positive so im praying its not cancer as it runs in my family. My mum died from bowel cancer 26 years ago. However i love you channel and find it very helpful. You are stunning. I hope my life improves over time. Im not enjoying being 50 at all. I was looking forward to it but ive lost most my family and have no friends so its not easy. I put on a very brave persona for my other children. Well keep up with this amazing channel. I love it 💖💖
Hi Tarleah! I can only imagine that would be beyond heartbreak...Its a blessing you still have 2 children close by and in your life...Its a process...Baby steps and self love every single day...Sending you a hug 💕
This is fabulous advice, Schellea! I’m just seeing this older video now. And I am exactly there!
The good news, I started college classes last fall to finally get my degree. It’s fun engaging with the younger students. I also substitute at our local high school to stay in touch with the young folks. However I still feel isolated from my own peers. Im working on it, but it’s hard. With a teenager still at home, most of the moms of my son’s friends are 20 years younger. Most of the ladies my age have been empty nesters for at least a decade and in a different phase of life.
Hi cindland! I am so proud of you for pursuing your degree. Thats awesome. Stay fabulous. 💕
I love. Love your advice!!! I’m so grateful for you and your advice. Thank you so much
Thanks for taking the time to comment lora! I happy you enjoyed the video...Have a great weekend ❤️
THANKS YOU .I know this is an older video but I'm feeling so down, so alone and I don't know why... I was okay before. Many thanks. I'm not 50 but almost, you help me hopeful it's okay and even something to look forward to. ❤
It's OK...You got this! Sending you a big hug 🤗💕

Hey Ladies, I’m a 51 year old man who has had 3 relationships in 37 years and failed in all. As a man I feel she hit these on point. So sorry others haven’t hit the mark with you….. I am beyond uncomfortable with being here at this age so it goes both ways. Most of all… do NOT SETTLE. Love yourself and magic will happen.
Great video Shellea - love your tips. Very positive thanks ;-)
Thanks for watching Mayra 😁 Have a great weekend ❤️
Hi Shelley, you always give such great advise. I've had to hit that bell various times, I don't know why it doesn't stay "HIT". Oh I know that social media high gloss look. hahahaha, yup, it isn't real. Shelly, I like the concept of accessing another perspective and give yourself that advise. Taking action is always great, as is helping others. I love the tips you are offering here. It was amazing that you even broke down the way to find someone to be your buddy. You thought about all the aspects of this process. I love what you are doing in this video. xo Marta
Thanks so much Marta, I appreciate your comment xx Thanks for watching and have an amazing week 💕
Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts. I have been trying hard to make friends in OZ all these years ( 11 years ) . I find so difficult to find true and honest friends. Some friends somehow jeopardised our friendship. Feeling sad. As you said I am trying. Still having faith in finding that right friend. Xxx
Hi Saro! I have started a private FB group and I would love you to join...Only amazing Women welcome! Its only a small group and you are very welcome ❤️

The top you are wearing is absolutely gorgeous!!
Thanks Amy and thanks for watching! Have a great weekend ❤️
@cubomania3 I find it offensive for you to imply that this beautiful woman's wardrobe is "pornograpgic"!!! She is completely covered, and I find her top both beautiful and tasteful!!
Maybe it is not an outfit that you would wear, but personally, I would love to wear that top!!
I suppose your mother never told you this, so I will: if you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything at all! Also, when you follow a complement with a "but" statement, the later totally negates anything positive you had said before!
Thanks for the video sherlock
Thank you for the wonderful advice!

Absolutely Fabulous advice! Thank You!
Hi Robin! Thank you so much for watching and have a beautiful weekend 💕
I am only 44 but love your videos. I am a recent empty nester and the adjustment was horrible. I sold my home and moved to a nearby city. It has forced me to get out of my comfort zone and learn my new city.
Hi Wendy! I agree...The adjustment is so horrible...Its time to re invent...Enjoy your new city...Thanks so much for watching and have a beautiful weekend 💕
Thank you so so much for this video!

I really needed to hear this, thank you. You look amazing
Sending you a big hug from Australia Powering On 🤗
@@fabulous50s Oh thank you so much. Where abouts in Australia are you in? I am in Newcastle, NSW. For some reason, i assumed you were in America
Powering On I live between Coffs and Sydney...
@@fabulous50s Beautiful! I have just watched your video again, and i have no idea why i thought you were American. But yes, you nailed it with this video
I just love watching you! You are so right on track with this topic...I think a lot of people take things for GRANTED. Just take a walk even by yourself and enjoy the atmosphere. Volunteering is a great way to help others as yourself. Enjoy your weekend!!
Hi SweetGaLady JL! Perfect suggestions 👍Thank you so much for watching and have a beautiful weekend 💕

Hi Julia Brown! I'm happy you enjoy the videos...Stay fabulous and have an amazing day 🤗
I volunteer, participate in clubs.I'm over 50 never married, childless, no family
I dont think :What the other person will do in my situation:. I always think what would the higher best version of myself do? In my mind i see myself how i want to be, that has helped me in many situations.
Thank uou for your channel, you are a great inspiration.
Thank you. I'm in menopause and don't know what to do about it. My kids are 22 and 18 and I'm having to parent differently. It's weird
Hi Julie! I agree...Parenting adults is weird!❓Thank you so much for watching and have a beautiful weekend 💕
Same babe same
Great advice, thank you, also a group is a great idea!

fabulous50s thanks I just joined!
I've been watching some of your earlier videos and this is so helpful. I never had kids and I've been divorced for a very long time. I have a huge family of animals and I foster kittens for the local shelter, so I'm not ever really alone. I an involved with a couple of local groups, like a garden club, and I have a lot of Facebook friends, but I just don't really take the time to cultivate human friendships. I've always been a loner and when I was young, my Mom used to force me to do social things like girl scouts and summer camp, but it was never really fun for me. I know it is unhealthy not to have close friends, so you have pushed me to set some goals. I love to hike, so I have signed up for a couple of local hikes and nature events. I need to get out of this "loner rut" and make some friends!! I posted the events on my FB page and I'll see if there is anybody who wants to do them with me, but if not, I'm going to go alone and probably meet some really nice people. Thank you!!
Wow Tamara Mitchell...Your taking such a big step even though it can be very scary to put yourself out there. I really hope that you are able to find a friendship group...The other ladies will be lucky to have yo there ❤️
@@fabulous50s Yes. There have been several things lately pointing me toward doing things out of my comfort zone and I'm feeling richer for it. My library had "You Can Heal Your Life" by Louise Hay that you recommended, so I'm going through that, too. I'll be 66 in about 2 weeks and I feel like I'm on the verge of a new chapter :-) Thank you for sharing your wisdom.
Thank you !
Thanks for watching Chanel! Have a great weekend ❤️
Hi shell I help my neice with her baby once a week it's wonderful I'm 57 and I've never been married so it's so positive to be helpful and it gets rid of isolating thanks for your videos
Hi Kathryn Robbins Im sending you a big hug 🤗❤️I loved your post so much, thank you for sharing with us. Have a beautiful week. 💕
Just before the lockdowns i rediscovered myself in spirituality. I joined a Biodanza Dance group Where it is all about connecting and feeling fullfilled. Highly recommanding. I also went on vacation on my own, something I never experienced or dared because I was so afraid of driving on the highway, but I drove to france alone to a spiritual camping and i didn’t feel alone at all because I was surrounded with like minded people and we Did workshops together and at night a camp fire and singing and dancing, I loved it!😀at home I continued going to Biodanza and tantra, and Made a lot of friends and had such a good time. I also joined a choir and learn to sing. All loved it so much. Than covid came and everything stopped very sudden, and I also had to move to another part of the country where things like this just don’t exist. Now I feel alone. My children are grown up, husband works a lot and I feel stuck in my new home.
Great advice. Keep being your authentic self 😀

@@susanstewart5194 How are you doing?
Thank you
Thank you for this 😚. It seems like there are many of us in the same boat. If you were to create a Facebook group or something like that I would join and maybe we can find our accountability buddies there too😚
Hi Bridget! Your right, so many of us feel the same way...I will start a FB group very soon...Thank you so much for watching and have a beautiful weekend 💕

Did you ever create this group you spoke of ? I do find myself stuck. I swear the minutes I hit 50 this year my attitude started changing .

Good advice! This was and is me,but I am trying hard to be positive.In hoping that I will find some other women who are feeling the same. Get in touch and we can all support eachother! I've put my efforts into starting a business,so I focus my energy and fill my time,instead of sulking and complaining! It's hard,but necessary,if I don't want to become depressed!!
I am isolated in a small village.It's not easy. I'd like to invite others feeling they are in a similar situation,to get in touch
Omg this is so my life!Im 50 with 3 grown children!I work 10 hour days and I honestly have no life at this point in my life!Im alone 95% of my life and it’s soooo extremely lonely!I had a man in my life that walked out on me because he claimed the drive to my home was too far anymore so that really made me even more of a loner!I feel so unattractive and feel so much safer being alone!I attend church once a week and that’s basically my only interaction with people!I don’t want to grow old alone but I’m afraid of rejection!
Hi Beautiful Katina W ❤️ I'm sending you a big hug. Having a fear of rejection makes you the same as the rest of us but it is something you may want to overcome because the best way I know to meet people is to actually go out there and meet people. A ship docked in port is safe...but ships weren't built to be docked in port. I don't think you were built to be lonely. Wishing you all the best
Thank you so much!🥰
Great advice, different mind sets def work. I like the accountability person aspect..mmm set me thinking. Can you hear a wrrrr noise haha
Thanks so much jennifer jones! Yes, I can Hera that wrrr noise...Hope you find a person...Have a fantastic week 🌸

I am nearly 54 adult single mum of five adults I feel isolated lonely needed to hear your video
Hello Kerry 👋 nice meeting you here on CZcams How are you doing today?
I just subscribed to your Instagram, Facebook & mailing list. I absolutely love you & your videos! I'm turning 50 next month and I don't feel happy about it, but I feel like I can do it after I watch your videos! You are truly an inspiration 💗 I would love an accountability partner if you start a private group!
I accidentally joined your email list 5 times, oops sorry about that. I must've pushed the button too many times😋

Hi Deb! I am starting a group...Just working out how to do it...probably a week away...Be excited about turning 50 and make it more about you and less about everyone else...Thank you so much for watching and have a beautiful weekend 💕
