  • We all love our rechargeable devices, but we don’t love all of the cord, cable, and charging clutter that seems to be everywhere. Let’s hide and contain it and do a couple of other things around the house to make us feel organized. Plus a big announcement :-).

    When I was an overworked young mother, my husband's grandma taught me a saying, "A change is as good as a break." Your CZcams 'sabbatical' doesn't sound like much of a break with all of your other projects waiting in the wings, but I hope it proves to be a refreshing and inspiring change for you. You certainly are entitled to it! 😃

      We’ve all learned that “me time” is essential to living a happy life. Alexandra Stoddard penned it perfectly in her book, LIVING A BEAUTIFUL LIFE. I applaud you for taking care of “you”!

    We all need a break now and then. It takes courage to make changes. You take some time for you and we will be here when you unveil your new channel if you decide to do that. You and Leah together are always entertaining. Enjoy your time off, Linda.

  • @ejohnson3131
    @ejohnson3131 Před měsícem +24

    Dear Linda,
    I don’t think you need a separate lifestyle channel. You should make one video per month like a magazine in video format. In each video you can have different segments:
    “Linda visits the garden” - talk about what’s blooming, successes and failures around the garden that month, maybe visit other people’s gardens.
    “Cooking with Linda” - show a recipe using ingredients from your garden whenever possible or healthy recipes, etc
    “Beauty” - talk about skincare, makeup, current obsessions, treatments you’re using or testing, etc
    “Fashion” - Talk about shoes, clothes, purses, accessories, jewelry, etc
    “Travel” - talk about destinations and places you visit or planning to visit
    “Home Decor” - Furniture, home accessories, decor pieces, etc
    You should make each segment fast paced, informative, have a time limit per segment and edit it so it doesn’t seem like you’re rambling on… Include timestamps so people can skip ahead if they’re not interested in a certain subject… I think it would be very successful if you put time and thought into it with curated lists of items that people would find interesting and unique and featured guests. You could eventually launch a lifestyle brand with your name on it from furniture to clothes and gardening tools. I can see it happening!

    I’m selfish, I will miss miss miss you !!! You have inspired me to do the same! Not only that, I’m also editing my home and garden. Giving away and getting ready for my own down time. Enjoy!

  • @anizee77
    @anizee77 Před měsícem +40

    Good for you Linda. I was wondering how long it would take for you to realize that you too need a break. I love your videos and appreciate all the work you all put into these. And when I need more videos from you I always watch older ones again to refresh my memory. So don’t worry we understand. And thank you again for all the videos you gift us with. We will be here for you when you come back no worries we will miss fresh videos, but looking forward to the new season! Love you Linda! God bless you your family,Stewart and Leah. And yes God is in control of everything.

    Hi Linda
    All I can say is that you're creating more work for yourself. Definitely take the break, and look again at your other decisions💯💞

    • @zoreslavazinczenko1060
      @zoreslavazinczenko1060 Před měsícem +6

      I agree - 100% x 10. You can see it, right from the get-go, that Linda will be taking on too much. Plus, as much/as long as I had put off getting a smart phone, diving into social media and such, I'm already finding myself spending so much more time on my favorite CZcams gardening channels alone (LV, Garden Answer, Gar 30:50 dening with Creekside, Northlawn Flower Farm, Hort Tube, Impatient Gardener, Suburban Oasis, Wyse Guide, Dig Plant Water Repeat). It's sort if like Flower Hill Farm starting off with her home/personal flower farm, & then she took on the greenhouse - I don't know how how does it (a lot of help from family members), but it's exHAUSTing, I literally had to stop watching her channel! Much luck on your endeavours, Linda. Plus don't overextend yourself!!!

    @rosemarieellis3113 Před měsícem +7

    There is something about being in Europe that makes you sit up and take note of people who live at a very different pace with such joy over the little things. That sends you into an evaluation of your own life. The first time I visited our exchange student in the Netherlands, I left there thinking I am not living my best life. Riding bicycles in the fresh morning air, sitting outdoors in the cool evenings, long conversations over good coffee --loved the lifestyle there. I wonder if your visit to Scotland sent you into the same evaluation process.

  • @mkpoptic5790
    @mkpoptic5790 Před 20 dny

    Building in a PAUSE in your life is so valuable Sometimes life builds the pause for us (injury or illness or loss). I find my energy is lower when the heat of the summer seems endless. And again mid winter So I slow way down. To everything there is a season. And REST and reflection is a season. We love you Linda. Take a much needed break. Don’t please anyone but your self. We will still be here for you.

  • @shirleyprescott1528

    OMG! I always feared this day would come! But it is good to have change, but I will definitely miss seeing you ! This will be good, I think, for me too, because I am obsessed with when you don't have a video out! You are such an inspiration to us all, and now we can float on all of the good things that you have taught us.! We will be Ok.... For now, but be back soon! There have been some unexpected unpleasantries in my life that I need to address, too! Love You !

  • @nancybogart3960

    I sensed something was up when I watched your previous video. You deserve a break. I personally will miss you, Stewart and Leah. Enjoy the rest of your "hot" summer.

  • @MarigoldsintheGarden
    @MarigoldsintheGarden Před měsícem +7

    I will miss your garden videos so much, Linda. I am happy for you though, and need and deserve a break. My English parents always used to say, "A change is as good as a holiday", and it is so true. Linda, you are a 'giver'; that's for sure. You have given your kindness, generosity, knowledge, time, energy, creative thinking and ideas, wisdom, and other resources. Thank you so much. I personally appreciate your videos and they have helped me maintain my enthusiasm for gardening, as well as indoor decoration. Your videos are a great encouragement for me. Enjoy your break and don't over work yourself.

  • @kittykatty2898

    Linda, I absolutely love that you and hubs are watching White Collar! We binge watched the whole series in one go a while ago, it was fantastic👏👏👏Obviously it took us several weeks after work but it was such a great entertainment. Just what a good doctor would prescribe for any kind of blues ;)) It's been a refreshing afternoon and evening with you and your team - as always. You might be a bit down yourself but you can always cheer me up ( sorry for being selfish). Your videos are like a fresh breeze on a sandy beach , be it in a graden or inside your lovely home , I love them both👌😍Greetings from England xx

    I cried real tears when I heard your announcement. I'll miss your light hearted banter and wonderful content. But having said that, I'll certainly look forward to your new direction. As most comments are saying, I reiterate, you need to take all the time you need to reflect and have a blast! I'm just sad for me, but happy for you. Change is always difficult. (For me) But essential for growth. It doesn't make it easy though. Happy Holidays to you all!

    Linda I have been watching your channel for several years now, and it has always been one of my favorites. You deserve the time of and I know it will be just the thing to refresh your mind and soul. Anything you ever bring us is done with much intelligence and class. Frankly I for me your garden segments are great, but I live in Michigan, so your videos do not apply to me always. However the videos you do on decorating, thrifting, outfits with Leah, what you are reading, outdoor table scapes, etc are always my favorites. I sold a large home myself and downsized after my husband passed away, shortly after you did. Your videos gave me the courage to do it. I still go back to your videos of moving into the cottage for decorating inspiration. ( I did find a smaller bungalow that I’m crazy about)! I applaud your courage to take some time off and refresh and regroup. I for one will be there watching on the other side of your journey. I’m not a great Instagram user, but you might inspire me to do the also! I know whatever you bring us will be wonderful. Enjoy every minute of you time off with peace and nourishment for you soul. Looking forward to your new ventures.👏❤️

  • @julidalton9914

    You certainly should have a break if you need one Linda! I will surely love revisiting some of your past videos, you don't even know how much you have inspired me in my garden! This is what I vote on (haha): Keep one channel but one day be walkabout Wednesday in the garden (I love your walkabouts;) and another day could be devoted to a book club (that sounds really great!) and another day could be all about self care and wellness as you mentioned.

    Linda, Your gardening and decorating mastery are truly art forms. You are just as gifted as your siblings and we subscribers are enriched by it. Thank you. PS . My survival tips for this time of year are listening to recordings of (1) gentle rain when its hot and/or dry and (2) the sound of waves lapping at the shore. Maybe these tips might be helpful. I find them calming and uplifting❤

    I look forward to seeing the new fruits of your labor and well as new gardening content in the fall.
    Best wishes on this phase.We will be here.

    Good for you Linda! What you have proposed sounds invigorating, creative, and freeing. You richly deserve a "sabbatical," and it is a very healthy thing to do. I bet this world would be a lot happier if everyone took the time to refresh and recharge. I look forward to your new ventures, and your new book! I finally made the time to read some of the books that I have, one of which is yours, and I was blown away by the outstanding job you did on your first book! There are very few gardening books that I will read cover-to-cover, but I did with yours. You are a gifted writer, and the amount of information in the book was so helpful! I absolutely love it, and applaud you. I hope your break is everything you need it to be. 🥰💐

You were so brave and you embraced change and charged forward. Wow! I was encouraged by the strength you displayed. I needed what you shared, and not just garden life. Creating beautiful moments in life because of and inspite of life forcing us to change. Thank you! I look forward to more inspiration from you.❤

    I like your ides, Linda. I am newly retired and live in Michigan. My grandkids are grown, so my life has changed. No more jobs, grandkids not around as much, ad being home with hubs 24/7 is new. I look forward to seeing what you and Leah come up with. Take care and stay cool.

    Linda, you have been an inspiration for gardening and fun living. I will take a sabbatical as well. August is the perfect month to escape the heat and live in the moment with my newly retired husband. Sending you a hug! ENJOY! 🤗🪻🌸🎆
    And, OH MY! I’m thrilled for the new channel. I energize with learning! 👏. See you in the Fall. 🍁

    I have spent many pleasant afternoons in my garden this summer listening to Julia Louis-Dreyfus’ podcasts too. Highly recommended by a Canadian gardening septuagenarian who never fails to be amazed by my perennials that just keep on giving!!! This week’s backyard garden star is a fenceful of vibrant deep purple clematis. It brings me such joy.

    Sounds like a grand idea, Linda. However, I'm happy to hear you are not letting go of the
    plant part because the other isn't very interesting to me like the styles, etc.. Best of a
    happy August and September and conserve some of your energy just for your family.

    As a teacher, the 8 week break in summer helps me recharge to take on a new year. I love having so much time to putter with my flowers. I don’t take on summer school assignments. I need a tru break from all work commitments.

    @angieharris9806 Před měsícem +4

    I don’t know how many times I have thought to myself, “Self, how does Linda do it all? She has to be exhausted!” Whereas I will miss seeing your new content regularly, I won’t feel so guilty about not watching you because I’m a teacher and Augusts are very hectic as we begin a new year. Year 21 for me! Where does time go? I’m looking forward to your new endeavors and I wish you well. Thanks for inspiring me!

      I am a high school teacher. Spending 8 weeks of summer in the garden helps me refresh to take on a new year. It’s not a job that I would be willing to g to do year round.

    Linda, at our age, if we can not follow our own wisdom, that would be very sad. I honour your choice to take care of you! to take a breath and slow down. It’s a good example for others go follow.
    I will of course look forward to your new channel.
    Love who you are and what you need 👏🏻🌟

    Wow, lots on your plate girl. Book number 3, WHAT! Yes, you certainly deserve to take some time off although it doesn't sound like you will be sitting around eating shortbread and bon bons. Take care and come back to us refreshed and ready to dive into the next chapter.

    Oh Linda - what a fantastic plan! Firstly, everyone deserves a break…everyone. And as being one of those pesky Europeans that always have long holidays (vacation time) 😂, I agree even more. Lots of luck with writing the new book too 👏🏼. And the new channel sounds amazing. I love your gardening videos but I have always looked forward to your lifestyle/interior design videos perhaps more. So I’ll be there for the new channel too 👍🏻😃. Sending good vibes from The Cotswolds 👏🏼💚🧡🇬🇧.

    Your outlook on life is inspiring and I love how you are reinventing yourself. It’s wonderful that you are giving yourself time to relax and take a break! Your timing is perfect, it’s a reminder for many of us to enjoy our gardens, sitting, and just taking it in, without laboring in this extreme heat of summer. Also, I first found you on instagram and your old garden was beautiful but your new garden is magnificent! We will see you this fall on your channel. Linda, enjoy your sabbatical! 😊

    Love the idea of your second channel. Your thrifting, styling, and shopping videos are actually my favorite to watch. I garden, but am not an avid gardener, and your climate is so different from mine in upstate N.Y. it doesn’t feel as relevant for me. Enjoy your time off and I look forward to your new ventures in the Fall.
