- on Help, I Need to Lighten Up! Do you?: “When my now adult girls were still in 6-12th grades And I was teaching full time plus had church responsibilities I heard an idea to make a “ not to do” list - a “ to-don’t” list really.

- on Warning: The Danger of Equating Feelings with Truth: “Thank you Susan! I have heard you say all this before of course, but it bears hearing again. Whilst the emotional tug is very true and we all feel it at some time or another, what about writing something about the Intellectual side.i.e. Doubt. When doubt assails one. What to think about, what to read etc. I say this as we all have MOMENTS OF DOUBT, EVEN IF WE ARE BELIEVERS. Also I am reading a most marvellous book, written by a Scottish Minister about his deep thoughts, including his doubts. Miss you and congratulations on all you have written, and all you have done as an encourager through the many years. LOTS OF LOVE. Audrey.” Mar 28, 06:25

- on Do You Ask Your Kids What They Want for Dinner?: “My children were always complaining about the food I cooked. I did meal planning and made a wide variety of dishes-Thai, Italian, Mexican, American, etc. I rotated through recipes regularly and spent an hour cooking. I finally had enough of their complaining and asking for something else. I went to a simple plan of a simply-cooked meat, a starch, a veggie and a fruit. Guess what? No more complaints amd we have had peaceful dinners. The hopping up to make substitutions or additions ended. Plus, it's been much simpler for me. Win-win!” Mar 17, 10:00
- on Ask Susan: How to Embrace Your Season of Life: “Dearest Susan, I found this video so very, very helpful! Today is the 19th anniversary since my mother and sister were killed in a car accident. My husband and I were in our first year of marriage. I've never had the privilege of having a mother to give me wise advice as I raise my children. As I listened to you today, I felt as though I was sitting at the feet of a wise woman who has gone before me. We, too, have five children, in different ages and stages, including two teens, down to a four year old. Your insight gave me so much perspective and truly challenged me to look for the blessings in the season of life in which I find myself, while articulating the struggles honestly. Yours is pretty much the only blog I follow, and I do love hearing from you in my Inbox... Thank you for your meaningful ministry to so many women, even this one all the way in New Zealand (originally from Israel :-)). God bless you, my precious sister, Tehila” Mar 8, 05:38
