11 Years On YouTube - Time To Retire? Thrift Store Magic Hope

After 11 years on YouTube, I found myself telling a few friends that I was retiring this year. It’s been a week where I’ve had to weigh many things in my life — helping a sweet woman in trouble, a special thrift store friendship, resisting change, and working through the changes that come with this stage of life. So the question quietly sits there…Is it time to leave YouTube? On March 15th, 2015, I uploaded my very first video. And here I am today — celebrating 11 years with you. What a wild wonderful ride we have had!!! What I know for certain is this: you helped me get through every single day without feeling alone for 11 YEARS. I have so many things I need to tell you tonight...tonight..can we talk? Desi sings. Hal makes a cameo. Trigger warning timestamps included. Domestic Violence - 10:53 You are the very best. Every woman here has a story, and I would love to hear it, understand it, and honor it. After 11 years… we are still standing. And we are still thriving as a community. I love you to the moon and back, Susan & Desi The ache for home lives in all of us, the safe place where we can go as we are and not be questioned.
