I won't be here next week...can you guess where I'm going?! Wish us luck! 👋🏼😃💗And - sorry - I got brain fog talking about the Rev Richard Coles, was obviously the Communards (not Bronski Beat), ha ha! === Don’t forget our pact… I am here for you three times each week and you comment on every video. Which self-care missions will you choose for this week - 1, 2, 3 or 4? I'm choosing number 1 and number 3!
In addition to my other comments on this video, I forgot to ask, if it’s not too burdensome, to list the self-care missions in the comments. No worries if it is not something you’re interested in doing. ☀️💐
Dear Diane, your „worst“ wideos are still the best 10-15 minutes in my day. I am going through a very difficult time in my life, but with your ideas and kind words I have hope. Thank you!
Dear Diane, this week I had to write a condolence card. It was very difficult for me. I did not found the right words. I procrastinated….. Then I heard your voice inside me. „It doesn‘t have to be perfect, it just has to be done“ and „Keep it simple, sweety“. I did it and I felt so relieved. Thank you vor beeing here and helping us in every life situation. ❤❤❤
Diane, I needed to write again after watching this. I can't thank you enough for being my cleaning mum from afar! Not having ads is so kind of you. Your 3 selfcare tasks are always fantastic and such a great reminder to look after ourselves. I have 5 children under 10 and a baby. I often forget this point! You taking care of us, means we take care of ourselves which means the children are happier because of you. If you need to take a break and miss the odd video, as much as we appreciate them, that's ok too. We're happy to go with whatever you can manage! Thank you for helping us all xx
Please don't stop making your videos! Our adopted daughter's birthmother has been battling cancer and your videos and encouragement have helped me keep my sanity (we are extremely close with them). She passed away on Monday and I was able to use the fly lady techniques to help clean her home with her parents. Today was her funeral and I came home and crashed on the couch and went straight to your self-care video from today. I know you don't know me (nor I you), but you mean so much to me and the structure you provide me in the midst of deep personal chaos is a huge blessing. I'm quite certain others feel the same, dear lady!
You have made me feel so much better. I had been feeling very frumpy, had not fixed my hair in 6 months, some days just taking a shower was hard. A couple days ago I went to get my hair done, bought a few items to refresh my wardrobe, painted my nails and started feeling better. Thanks to you picking me up I started my weekly maintenance clean, I did a little yesterday, today and will finish tomorrow, got my laundry done, bills paid ordered my groceries. Cleaned my fancy rats cage all in one weekend. Thank you for lifting my spirits.
Hi Diane, I have been watching your videos for years and years. They always are an encouragement to me. Please don’t be discouraged because people are not commenting. You are loved and valued, and you are making a difference in people’s lives. Thank you for your faithfulness.
Hi Diane, I watch all your videos! I'm 35 from the USA. You have such a calming upbeat personality. You've helped me be so patient in the process of making things better around the house. It has been a long and draining week for me but always look forward to my morning watching your videos! Ashley
I felt so sad when you told us that you were down and struggled sometimes to put your videos out and you are right, it is a very onesided thing….you make all the effort and we just watch. Please please don’t ever think you are wasting your time. Your three videos are such an inspiration to me. I apologise for the few occasions I haven’t commented, but will make sure I do in future. You are very loved and extremely valued and I send this with love. Rachel
I’m really grateful for you, your videos, and all you do. I’ve been watching/listening since before I was married and now we own our own home and have two small children. You taught me all about the flylady system, about hygge, and just bring positivity to my life. My mom wasn’t able to teach me how to do these things. So thank you for being here and for making these videos.
Dear Diane, I hope you had a fantastic week at your Icebading contest🎉! Never forget, even if views and comments and likes go down: you are so precious for everyone, who is landing on your channel!😊 I've been following for years now. Yesterday a good friend came to my house after some years again. In the living room she said: "wow, you are really doing this flylady Thing! I can see the calm that comes with less stuff and more routines🧚♂️!" Iwas so proud of me and so thankful to you and your constant guidance. THANK YOU and go on, you do great to the world🌟. Big hugs from Southern Germany🤗.
Hey Diane, I appreciate your dedication towards your channel and your viewers. I fell off my "flylady" systems because I thought I had mastered the process and my routines were automatic. Oh, how wrong I was. With your help I am back to baby steps, getting back on track. It feels good. My sense of achievement is priceless. My current "self care" choice is maintaining my painted fingernails. Thank you.
Thanks for being here! I love when you say “you don’t have to want to do it, you just do it.” And “it’s only 5 (or 10 minutes)” Keeps me motivated and helps keep my spirits up especially after I do the thing! Bon voyage! Best wishes at the competition. Rah rah rah!
“Keep moving forward, one pom pom in front of the other” was a big encouragement and made me smile. Thank you, Diane, for all that you do! Rah! Rah! Rah!
Please don't stop I don't comment because I never feel like I have anything important to add I'm sorry that's inconsiderate I know. You give me great ideas and inspiration... my home needs serious decluttering and only you can help me.
Dear Diane, I was sad to hear, that you were questioning the value of your videos. Please be sure, that I'm very glad, that you are here for us so reliably. I'm having a hard time and you help me putting one foot in front of the other. Thank you so much! Best whishes from Germany🤗
Hi Diane, I just want you to know that I’ve watched your videos for years. It means so much that you take time to encourage us and help keep us going. My kids have all become adults in the last four years and the ups and downs and struggles of that process have been and are still knocking me off balance. Sometimes it’s so hard to want to do anything. Just knowing that someone like you has bad days/weeks too encourages me to keep trying. Thank you for being there for us.❤️
Hi Diane, I am from Oregon. I just found your videos this week. I am so excited to be able to be a part of this group. It is always easier to do things together as a group. Thanks so much for being here :)
Have a fantastic trip Diane! Please don’t worry about your views, your die hard subscribers will always watch you! You are a breath of fresh air! Rah rah rah.
Diane, never underestimate the positive impact that you have on all the people that tune into your videos 3 times each week. For me, you help in ways that keep me going on days when I just want to shut the world out. We will all miss you next week but have a wonderful time. Look forward to hearing all about it. 😊 x
I want to apologize for not replying to your videos. I often watch them on my TV where I cannot reply. On my phone I keep restricted mode on which prohibits reading or making comments. I do want to tell you how valuable your videos have been to me recently. I may not always be able to reply but I always give a thumbs up. I do so much appreciate your content. Your declutter and clean with me videos are my favorite. I like seeing your thought process for decluttering and your cleaning videos have helped me jump a huge hurdle of cleaning my bathroom. I usually pay someone to do the bathrooms but doing just 10 minutes at a time has helped me to see how doable it is and how much I can get done in such a little time. I don’t dread it as much and it is staying cleaner. I feel my bathrooms were the last place hanging me up. Again, thank you!
I'm guilty too of not commenting as I also watch your TH-cam videos on TV. I'm finding great satisfaction in decluttering, and following your routine cleaning. Usually do 1 or 2 of the self care missions from your Friday videos too.
Diane, you're the best!! I love cleaning, decluttering, organizing, and always I always have. But I love what you bring: your enthusiasm, love, and caring.
Tough few days. Behind in my viewing and need a reset ❤ I can always count on you for motivation, inspiration and a great reset. Thanks so much for all you do for this community ❤
Diane, I, too, have had a rough week both physically and emotionally. It’s at these times when I really appreciate you. You lift my spirits! thank you for putting out videos even when you don’t feel like it!
I so enjoy your videos. When I miss, I play catchup! I have been busy at work, coming home with little energy. Working through that as well as cleaning through my mom’s stuff after she passed in November of 2022. So overwhelmed with boxes and emotions ❤️. Your positive spirit and videos help me focus. You are such a blessing to so many🥰❤️❣️Sending much gratitude, Janice from Missouri., USA.
I have a husband whose not well and it can be hard to stay motivated to keep up the house. I’ve been a subscriber for awhile now, but just found your videos again last week and in 2 weeks time, I’ve made some real progress with tackling just one small task per day. I decided that with Spring coming I wanted to really get the house in tip top shape by summer as it is very calming to me. Thank you for your positive energy…it’s incredibly uplifting!
My mum who is in her 90th year has moved in with my husband and I so we can look after her as she is now bedridden. Her home was sold last week. Hubby and I have spent the last month packing up my childhood home. A really sad time for me but trying to cling to the memories. Watching you always cheers me up. Keep it going Diane ❤
Diane, I can’t tell your how much you inspire me to get something done; this week I did all the laundry, made dinners, vacuumed with the robot, cleaned the living room, decluttered purses, and I really can’t even remember what else. You are amazing
Silent viewer here. I've fallen off the Fly Lady wagon, but you inspire me to to do one small thing and build on that. I'll comment often now that I know it counts. Keep on motivating us, please. Love from California.
I just finished "Of Manners and Murder" and I really enjoyed this dip into Victorian culture. I cleaned so much more this week, thanks to your motivation. Thanks so much!
Oh Diane. I've come back to watch this video again as I'm missing you this week. I hope youre having a wonderful time...ra-ra-ra for your races 🎉🎉🎉 So looking forward to having you back soon. I don't know how you've continued on all these years making videos, but please know, it is so appreciated, you are a huge encouragement and we love you! I'm really struggling at the moment, injured back from mopping last Wednesday! Rescued cat had kittens 3 weeks ago today...emergency dash to the vet at 3am as last one got stuck! Other cat diagnised with untreatable cancer, sons cat dropped dead and my neighbours cat suddenly had to be put down, so supporting her...plus the usual hosting church meetings in our home, volunteering at our village pop up cafe and having neighbours who need chats and support....for an introvert, its all a bit 'noisy' for my brain! Routines and zones are shot to pieces but I'm eating a good breakfast, getting dressed each morning and airing/making my bed each day and keeping on top of the laundry. I feel a fraud as there is so much to do, but today I'm ignoring all but the basics and having had a good chat with the Lord this morning, I'm treating myself to some sewing time. Thank you once again sweet friend xxx
Youve hit the nail on the head Diane. To use Australian slang 'This week sucked'. It was horribly hot, work was super busy, i had extra outside work commitments and I was rushed, super tired from not sleeping properly and just unsettled and out of sorts. Im really hoping next week is better as I was just trying to get through the days with no enjoyment. Thank you for your support and encouragement and I hope you have a better week next week too. Please ignore the TH-cam data......to each if us who are regularly watching your videos you are a superstar ❤🎉
Dearest Diane, I have started a new job and feel so far behind in my life right now ... but... I am still watching and cleaning and decluttering when I can. Honestly, if you didn't put out these videos 3 times a week, I would just pretend I don't have a messy, cluttered living space, and I would feel even more stressed and out of control. So, thank you. I appeciate every moment you share with us in your videos.
Your videos inspire me to live with less clutter and to enjoy my home. I watched while I cleaned dishes, unloaded and loaded the dishwasher, and shined my sink. Thank you.
I have been working on my report cards (Kindergarten teacher here!) and after spending a few hours on them, discovered my comments did not save. One of every teacher's worst nightmares. So, I got off my bahookie, grabbed the vacuum and some bins and attacked the front hall closet. Now I"m listening to your video, and feeling calmer after cleaning up a space by the front entry, and hearing your voice, I'm regaining motivation to attack the reports, round 2. Thank you so much, Diane, for always being here to cheer us on and remind us that we can accomplish a lot more than we often give ourselves credit for. Rah rah rah! From Laura, in BC Canada.
Hi Diane, I am a 20+ year FlyBaby. You recorded this (I think) 8 months ago, and now it's November 2024 and I'm watching from California. This video came up after the one which was scheduled for today. I'm working outside the home today, but will try to get to some things tomorrow. Hubby just informed me that he brought home two frozen turkeys last night, so I really need to get into both Thanksgiving mode and Christmas mode. Lord, please help us all!
Dear Diane, I’m so glad I tuned in tonight to get a dose of inspiration and heard that you sometimes need the same. I’ve never commented before but I now understand how important it is for you to know that you’re not sending all your positive energy into a void. Trust us when we say that your wonderful words and videos are connecting and moving us to action. Thank you for working through the rough patches to show us what’s possible! Also, trust in the truism that for every commenter there are thousands of silent lurkers (like me) who are equally grateful for your support and encouragement. Your views and likes are testament to your reach. Big hug back to you!
Darling Diane, just remember how many people out there in our world love you. You give us the encouragement to tackle our complicated lives to keep our houses clean to be organised so we can cope. I have been watching you for nearly a year, you have made such a huge difference in the best way. I can't thank you enough. Wishing you lots of luck next week, have a great time. Can't wait to see some photos. Xx
Diane, your videos have kept me going during last year which was a very difficult year for me because of the stress and trauma at work. I didn’t feel like cleaning or really doing anything at home. You kept me on task and I thank you for that. You are the best cheerleader. This year, while still recovering from my work trauma, still working full time, but making myself a priority. I definitely focus on self care now. Have a wonderful time next week and I know you will do great! Much love to you! ❤
I'm in a very similar situation and Diane has been my rock. I actually see progress. I'm sorry to hear about your situation and wish you all the best for the future! 🖖🏼
Dear Diane, your videos inspire me every time and you always make me smile. Thank you so much! I hope you have a wonderful week and this time we will be cheering you on instead of you cheering us on 😊
I’d be so lost without you Diane!!! I go through your old videos ALL the time. Especially on Sundays when I need extra cheer to get through the upcoming week. You’ve helped me keep my house in order while mourning loved ones. You are the best.
I enjoy your videos, each and every one of them. Sometimes, I am not able to watch them the day they are uploaded, but I do watch EACH one. You are the bright spot in my mornings the days I watch. I hope you realize how much your videos mean to many, many people. You are a treasure!
Hello my dear! And hello to all the fellow subscribers. The past year was really difficult to me, my mother passed away suddenly, in a very young age. Your videos are my motivation for keep going. It was supposed to be her birthday yesterday , and your upload got me put of bed! Please don't pay attention to the numbers. Thank you 🎉 for all your kindness. Greetings from Greece.😊
Thanks Diane, I'm pretty overwhelmed just now as we are trying to get my Dad's home ready to sell and ours too. Dad has just gone into a home and so there are lots of emotions slowing me down. I appreciate the reminder to just do a little bit
So sorry I’m late to this vlog………I’ve been away where Wi-Fi was almost non existent! 😬. Please don’t stop making videos. You are such an inspiration and love to follow along with cleaning which now doesn’t seem to be such a chore! Hope you’ve had an enjoyable and successful time away with your besties. 🎉🥇❤
I so enjoy your videos. I will miss your new videos this week. But I will go back and watch some of your old ones. Sending encouragement to you. You are a great inspiration to lots of people. 🎉🎉🎉
Miss your bright and uplifting videos! Hope you are taking a much needed rest and self care and I hope to see you back to help me and lots and lots of others in our day to day lives. Thank you for all that you do Diane! 🙏🎉
I've been sick since December and finally Dr is finding the right medicine. I have a little more energy and today I decluttered a little. Thank you for your videos!
🥰 I love that your videos are short and concise. So many influencers drone on for 30 to 50 minutes, and while they can be interesting, sometimes they just drone on with long introductions or personal stories and I just do not have that amount of time to dedicate to watching them. I always have 10 minutes for your videos and come away feeling motivated and more importantly up built emotionally. Please keep it up.
Keep your fire lit, Diane! 🎉 Best of luck in your swimming and thank you for the reminder that self care is a warm hug to ourselves. - Jessica from Kansas, USA 🌻
Diane, even though I lurk and don’t comment, I look forward to your videos each week. I will endeavor to comment more in the future. Your videos help me so much! I work along with you. I’m doing my decluttering little by little and have made great progress over time.❤️
I was having a difficult week last week, too. I was talking with my daughter who’s having health issues. I spoke your words to her that it’s in those difficult times that we rely on our routines to keep us grounded. I’m sorry that my taking an extra few days to watch your video made you think you aren’t appreciated. You are loved and appreciated. You are making a difference in our lives.
The past two weeks I have been a day late watching your videos . I am sorry. I do not want you to feel you are not appreciated. Your videos are the BEST! Have a glorious, exciting time in the cold water!
Hi Diane, what does TH-cam know! It might see a few numbers up and down, but it will never know how deeply we appreciate and love you, how many people have the biggest respect for all your hard work and how many people's lives you've touched. I haven't been able to watch for the past two weeks because I've been down with pneumonia (and everyone in the family got sick). I wasn't able to watch or think about anything. Its been a challenge I won't lie, but now I am on the mend and am ready for new videos. Frankly, with everything coming to a halt and recovery taking a super long time I am going to be exlvery grateful for your sensible, practical and simple approach and all your wonderful encouragement. Looking forward to seeing you again! 🖖🏼💕
I have to tell you how much I enjoy Hearing " just keep putting one foot in front of the other" . my father used to say that when the going was tough. It helps. And I love to hear you making that referance.
My house has never been more organised and tidy since watching your channel. You keep it so real! So please keep making your videos on your channel, they keep me going especially through the darker days. Congratulations on going to the winter swimming championships, hope you had a wonderful time. This week I chose self-care mission two and three. I have started number two by not looking at my phone first thing in the morning otherwise I get sucked in and waste time first thing in the morning. And this has definitely been working as I seem to achieve more in the morning. I have been writing out all the missions each week, and have been looking at these over the past few weeks, and have been doing a previous one every now and then which brings me joy. So thanks Diane, this year is really working for me.❤
Dear Diane, this is the first time I have commented on a TH-cam Video. I created an account because I love your Videos so much and wanted to stick to the promise. Our Apartment looks cleaner than ever and this with a 5 month old baby. You are a big Inspiration for me. Hugs from Frankfurt, Germany ❤
Have fun next week, Diane! I can't wait to hear all about it. Sorry you had a tough week - remember that you have 87K subscribers! That is amazing and we appreciate you so much.
Dear Diane, TH-cam wants you to judge your success on numbers or algorithms, but it's real people who love you and although they may not always comment/watch the videos, you will have touched their life in a positive way however small. I really appreciate what you are doing and some weeks are difficult for me and I cannot find the right words to say, but I do appreciate your commitment to this process that you have set up, so don't give up. You've already succeeded just by doing what you do! You have made sense of Fly Lady for me and I now enjoy it even more. All the best for the swimming championships!! We will all be cheering you on to success!?🎉❤🎉❤🎉
Dear Diane, belated wishes for a fabulous time away with your friends. How exciting! I appreciate every one of the videos you make. I’ve only stated watching consistently since you started doing your thrice weekly videos and I really love your content and encouragement. My favourite is the decluttering day video. Bless you for all you do for so many of us out here. I’m in Australia and love to hear about life in Denmark. A big rah rah rah and best of luck with the cold water races xxx
I wake up looking forward to your videos. I cannot tell you the difference you have made in my life and my home. You give me the motivation to carry out the routines and work on my zones. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
I greatly appreciate you Diane. I am very grateful that you are here for me-for us-week after week, month after month and year after year (I have been a regular viewer of yours since 2017). I am 55 and although I have always preferred a tidy home because it feels good, thanks to your teaching/coaching it has become much easier for me. I have learned to do some things more often and some things less often. I have learned that I can accomplish more than I realized in just 10-15 minutes and also that some tasks don’t take nearly as long as I thought they did. And somehow I am finding my daily routines more joyful overall. Not only has my home become more tidy, cozy and minimal, but my entire life has thanks to you. Much love & thanks! ❤️🙏🏼✨ PS: I am choosing mission #4. I have a gel nail polish kit that I was gifted a year ago and never used.
It has definitely been a busy week for me with house renovations and lots of swimming laps at our local pool (its been hot in our part of Australia). I'm swimming "Laps For Life" which raises funds for prevention of youth suicide. All the best for your swimming comp. X
Hello Diane. I have been popping in and out of your videos for many years. I feel you are a good friend I have never met. Thank you so much for what you share with us. ❤🇦🇺
Please, know we all appreciate your positive and supportive videos. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. We all get down, with good reason. But, we bounce back with routines that keep us moving forward. ❤
Today I took an extra few minutes in the bathroom to paint my nails bright watermelon pink DYT T1 😊 The bright cheerful fingers took me through the day doing so many jobs and they reminded me of your words to take time for self care. I did and it made me smile in the grocery store and at the washing line and cooking dinner. Diane thanks for your reminders that these small offerings to care for ourselves are valuable. They truly are. ❤
Thanks for all you do. I discovered DYT because of your videos and have been guiding my family towards practical minimalist living. I work full-time and have two small boys under 7. I mostly listen to your videos with my phone sticking out of my back pocket running around the house. Please know you are loved and appreciated. Thank you for being you! ❤
Hi Diane, thank you for your videos, they cheered me up after my young neighbour had some difficult medical news. I think I will go for No.1 in the care list and buy some hot cross buns. Best wishes Lyn from Australia.
I chose the technology break. I hope you’re feeling a bit brighter Diane. Please don’t underestimate your impact; you’re making a real difference in so many lives. Thank you ❤
Diane, I have been watching for years. I will admit I am poor on comments. I went back to work outside my home this year after 27 years as a home daycare provider. I’m teaching preschool. But, I watch, listen faithfully but I’m usually cleaning with you and don’t get back to my iPad to comment. But, I will try to be better😊😊
Hi Diane, watching your Friday plan and play video while washing up and shining my sink on a rainy Sat afternoon in Manchester. I have been decorating my daughters bedroom this week, feeling overwhelmed by the mess of things being in the rest of the house. Watching your videos always helps me to take a breath and do one thing towards resetting. Funny note: walked past a lady in my local Aldi supermarket who was wearing a lovely pink sweatshirt with “hygge” written on the front. After walking past her twice and smiling, I said to her “I love your top!” She said thanks and told me how her son is living and working in Copenhagen and it’s the most amazing place! I said “I would love to go, I know about Hygge from watching Diane in Denmark - she’s fabulous and it looks like a gorgeous place.” Just thought I’d share this and hope it makes you smile. Thanks for all you do, whenever I am feeling overwhelmed or unsure about where to start on the house, I watch your video for inspiration! Xx
I won't be here next week...can you guess where I'm going?! Wish us luck! 👋🏼😃💗And - sorry - I got brain fog talking about the Rev Richard Coles, was obviously the Communards (not Bronski Beat), ha ha! === Don’t forget our pact… I am here for you three times each week and you comment on every video. Which self-care missions will you choose for this week - 1, 2, 3 or 4? I'm choosing number 1 and number 3!
I think I’m going to try to do a technology break for a couple of hours each day
In addition to my other comments on this video, I forgot to ask, if it’s not too burdensome, to list the self-care missions in the comments. No worries if it is not something you’re interested in doing. ☀️💐
Best luck for you this week. Thank you for your Videos.
Hi Charlene! There are time stamps in the video so you can quickly find the self-care missions 👋😃 @charleneflowersmakemehappy5477
@@DianeinDenmark thank you! I didn’t notice the time stamps before. I appreciate you taking time to reply. ❤️
Dear Diane, your „worst“ wideos are still the best 10-15 minutes in my day. I am going through a very difficult time in my life, but with your ideas and kind words I have hope. Thank you!
I watched a lot of your video's and none of them is rubbish, every single one of them is motivating in so many ways!
Dear Diane, this week I had to write a condolence card. It was very difficult for me. I did not found the right words. I procrastinated…..
Then I heard your voice inside me.
„It doesn‘t have to be perfect, it just has to be done“ and „Keep it simple, sweety“.
I did it and I felt so relieved.
Thank you vor beeing here and helping us in every life situation.
❤❤❤
Diane, I needed to write again after watching this. I can't thank you enough for being my cleaning mum from afar! Not having ads is so kind of you. Your 3 selfcare tasks are always fantastic and such a great reminder to look after ourselves. I have 5 children under 10 and a baby. I often forget this point! You taking care of us, means we take care of ourselves which means the children are happier because of you.
If you need to take a break and miss the odd video, as much as we appreciate them, that's ok too. We're happy to go with whatever you can manage!
Thank you for helping us all xx
Please don't stop making your videos! Our adopted daughter's birthmother has been battling cancer and your videos and encouragement have helped me keep my sanity (we are extremely close with them). She passed away on Monday and I was able to use the fly lady techniques to help clean her home with her parents. Today was her funeral and I came home and crashed on the couch and went straight to your self-care video from today. I know you don't know me (nor I you), but you mean so much to me and the structure you provide me in the midst of deep personal chaos is a huge blessing. I'm quite certain others feel the same, dear lady!
@MsKayJ I'm sending you all the strength and courage I can to get through these hard times 💕
So sorry for your loss.
So sorry to hear about the challenges the family have been through recently. Love to you and your daughter and family
I am so sorry for your loss! You are right that some routines help to keep some sanity.
Bless you, your story is both sad and uplifting all at once. Sending love and prayers xx
You have made me feel so much better. I had been feeling very frumpy, had not fixed my hair in 6 months, some days just taking a shower was hard. A couple days ago I went to get my hair done, bought a few items to refresh my wardrobe, painted my nails and started feeling better. Thanks to you picking me up I started my weekly maintenance clean, I did a little yesterday, today and will finish tomorrow, got my laundry done, bills paid ordered my groceries. Cleaned my fancy rats cage all in one weekend. Thank you for lifting my spirits.
Bravo! I must admit that Diane has the same effect on me. Her presence on TH-cam is simply invaluable - so glad to have found her years ago!
Hi Diane, I have been watching your videos for years and years. They always are an encouragement to me. Please don’t be discouraged because people are not commenting. You are loved and valued, and you are making a difference in people’s lives. Thank you for your faithfulness.
Hi Diane,
I watch all your videos! I'm 35 from the USA. You have such a calming upbeat personality. You've helped me be so patient in the process of making things better around the house. It has been a long and draining week for me but always look forward to my morning watching your videos!
Ashley
I felt so sad when you told us that you were down and struggled sometimes to put your videos out and you are right, it is a very onesided thing….you make all the effort and we just watch. Please please don’t ever think you are wasting your time. Your three videos are such an inspiration to me. I apologise for the few occasions I haven’t commented, but will make sure I do in future. You are very loved and extremely valued and I send this with love. Rachel
I’m really grateful for you, your videos, and all you do. I’ve been watching/listening since before I was married and now we own our own home and have two small children. You taught me all about the flylady system, about hygge, and just bring positivity to my life. My mom wasn’t able to teach me how to do these things. So thank you for being here and for making these videos.
Dear Diane, I hope you had a fantastic week at your Icebading contest🎉!
Never forget, even if views and comments and likes go down: you are so precious for everyone, who is landing on your channel!😊
I've been following for years now. Yesterday a good friend came to my house after some years again. In the living room she said: "wow, you are really doing this flylady Thing! I can see the calm that comes with less stuff and more routines🧚♂️!" Iwas so proud of me and so thankful to you and your constant guidance. THANK YOU and go on, you do great to the world🌟.
Big hugs from Southern Germany🤗.
That’s right Sophie!
Hey Diane, I appreciate your dedication towards your channel and your viewers. I fell off my "flylady" systems because I thought I had mastered the process and my routines were automatic. Oh, how wrong I was. With your help I am back to baby steps, getting back on track. It feels good. My sense of achievement is priceless. My current "self care" choice is maintaining my painted fingernails. Thank you.
Thanks for being here! I love when you say “you don’t have to want to do it, you just do it.” And “it’s only 5 (or 10 minutes)”
Keeps me motivated and helps keep my spirits up especially after I do the thing! Bon voyage! Best wishes at the competition. Rah rah rah!
Thank you, Diane for making such inspirational videos!
“Keep moving forward, one pom pom in front of the other” was a big encouragement and made me smile. Thank you, Diane, for all that you do! Rah! Rah! Rah!
Please don't stop I don't comment because I never feel like I have anything important to add I'm sorry that's inconsiderate I know. You give me great ideas and inspiration... my home needs serious decluttering and only you can help me.
I love your videos. Thank you for the inspiration.
Dear Diane, I was sad to hear, that you were questioning the value of your videos. Please be sure, that I'm very glad, that you are here for us so reliably. I'm having a hard time and you help me putting one foot in front of the other. Thank you so much! Best whishes from Germany🤗
Hope you had a lovely time out with your friends. I’m looking forward to your stories and new videos. Take care
Thank you Diane, you make Mondays so much easier. I wish I’d found you years ago
Hi Diane,
I just want you to know that I’ve watched your videos for years. It means so much that you take time to encourage us and help keep us going. My kids have all become adults in the last four years and the ups and downs and struggles of that process have been and are still knocking me off balance. Sometimes it’s so hard to want to do anything. Just knowing that someone like you has bad days/weeks too encourages me to keep trying. Thank you for being there for us.❤️
Hi Diane, I am from Oregon. I just found your videos this week. I am so excited to be able to be a part of this group. It is always easier to do things together as a group. Thanks so much for being here :)
Oh hey, Oregon here too! 🎉 It's nice to see someone else from where I live too! It is nice to get stuff done with the company of more people!
Thank you, Diane, for reminding us to do our self-care. It’s easy to forget.
Thank you for all you do!! Love your videos!
Have a fantastic trip Diane! Please don’t worry about your views, your die hard subscribers will always watch you! You are a breath of fresh air! Rah rah rah.
Diane, never underestimate the positive impact that you have on all the people that tune into your videos 3 times each week. For me, you help in ways that keep me going on days when I just want to shut the world out. We will all miss you next week but have a wonderful time. Look forward to hearing all about it. 😊 x
I want to apologize for not replying to your videos. I often watch them on my TV where I cannot reply. On my phone I keep restricted mode on which prohibits reading or making comments. I do want to tell you how valuable your videos have been to me recently. I may not always be able to reply but I always give a thumbs up. I do so much appreciate your content. Your declutter and clean with me videos are my favorite. I like seeing your thought process for decluttering and your cleaning videos have helped me jump a huge hurdle of cleaning my bathroom. I usually pay someone to do the bathrooms but doing just 10 minutes at a time has helped me to see how doable it is and how much I can get done in such a little time. I don’t dread it as much and it is staying cleaner. I feel my bathrooms were the last place hanging me up. Again, thank you!
I'm guilty too of not commenting as I also watch your TH-cam videos on TV. I'm finding great satisfaction in decluttering, and following your routine cleaning. Usually do 1 or 2 of the self care missions from your Friday videos too.
Rewatching. Missed you last week and hoping to see you on Wednesday.
Diane, you're the best!! I love cleaning, decluttering, organizing, and always I always have. But I love what you bring: your enthusiasm, love, and caring.
Tough few days. Behind in my viewing and need a reset ❤
I can always count on you for motivation, inspiration and a great reset. Thanks so much for all you do for this community ❤
Diane, I, too, have had a rough week both physically and emotionally. It’s at these times when I really appreciate you. You lift my spirits! thank you for putting out videos even when you don’t feel like it!
I so enjoy your videos. When I miss, I play catchup! I have been busy at work, coming home with little energy. Working through that as well as cleaning through my mom’s stuff after she passed in November of 2022. So overwhelmed with boxes and emotions ❤️. Your positive spirit and videos help me focus. You are such a blessing to so many🥰❤️❣️Sending much gratitude, Janice from Missouri., USA.
I have a husband whose not well and it can be hard to stay motivated to keep up the house. I’ve been a subscriber for awhile now, but just found your videos again last week and in 2 weeks time, I’ve made some real progress with tackling just one small task per day. I decided that with Spring coming I wanted to really get the house in tip top shape by summer as it is very calming to me. Thank you for your positive energy…it’s incredibly uplifting!
My mum who is in her 90th year has moved in with my husband and I so we can look after her as she is now bedridden. Her home was sold last week. Hubby and I have spent the last month packing up my childhood home. A really sad time for me but trying to cling to the memories. Watching you always cheers me up. Keep it going Diane ❤
Diane, I can’t tell your how much you inspire me to get something done; this week I did all the laundry, made dinners, vacuumed with the robot, cleaned the living room, decluttered purses, and I really can’t even remember what else. You are amazing
Same for me - I would be loosing my mind right now had it not been for Diane.
Please please do not stop. You are making such a difference. My dad died four weeks ago and you keep me going ❤
🙏🏼
Silent viewer here. I've fallen off the Fly Lady wagon, but you inspire me to to do one small thing and build on that. I'll comment often now that I know it counts. Keep on motivating us, please. Love from California.
I just finished "Of Manners and Murder" and I really enjoyed this dip into Victorian culture. I cleaned so much more this week, thanks to your motivation. Thanks so much!
Oh Diane. I've come back to watch this video again as I'm missing you this week. I hope youre having a wonderful time...ra-ra-ra for your races 🎉🎉🎉
So looking forward to having you back soon. I don't know how you've continued on all these years making videos, but please know, it is so appreciated, you are a huge encouragement and we love you!
I'm really struggling at the moment, injured back from mopping last Wednesday! Rescued cat had kittens 3 weeks ago today...emergency dash to the vet at 3am as last one got stuck! Other cat diagnised with untreatable cancer, sons cat dropped dead and my neighbours cat suddenly had to be put down, so supporting her...plus the usual hosting church meetings in our home, volunteering at our village pop up cafe and having neighbours who need chats and support....for an introvert, its all a bit 'noisy' for my brain! Routines and zones are shot to pieces but I'm eating a good breakfast, getting dressed each morning and airing/making my bed each day and keeping on top of the laundry. I feel a fraud as there is so much to do, but today I'm ignoring all but the basics and having had a good chat with the Lord this morning, I'm treating myself to some sewing time.
Thank you once again sweet friend xxx
Youve hit the nail on the head Diane. To use Australian slang 'This week sucked'. It was horribly hot, work was super busy, i had extra outside work commitments and I was rushed, super tired from not sleeping properly and just unsettled and out of sorts. Im really hoping next week is better as I was just trying to get through the days with no enjoyment. Thank you for your support and encouragement and I hope you have a better week next week too. Please ignore the TH-cam data......to each if us who are regularly watching your videos you are a superstar ❤🎉
Thanks for so much ❤
Dearest Diane, I have started a new job and feel so far behind in my life right now ... but... I am still watching and cleaning and decluttering when I can. Honestly, if you didn't put out these videos 3 times a week, I would just pretend I don't have a messy, cluttered living space, and I would feel even more stressed and out of control. So, thank you. I appeciate every moment you share with us in your videos.
Your videos inspire me to live with less clutter and to enjoy my home. I watched while I cleaned dishes, unloaded and loaded the dishwasher, and shined my sink. Thank you.
I have been working on my report cards (Kindergarten teacher here!) and after spending a few hours on them, discovered my comments did not save. One of every teacher's worst nightmares. So, I got off my bahookie, grabbed the vacuum and some bins and attacked the front hall closet. Now I"m listening to your video, and feeling calmer after cleaning up a space by the front entry, and hearing your voice, I'm regaining motivation to attack the reports, round 2. Thank you so much, Diane, for always being here to cheer us on and remind us that we can accomplish a lot more than we often give ourselves credit for. Rah rah rah! From Laura, in BC Canada.
We miss you Diane! Hope you had a nice week in Estonia. We like to hear how it was. 🎉
I miss you, Diane! I hope you’re doing well and getting some rest and relaxation. ❤
Hi Diane, I am a 20+ year FlyBaby. You recorded this (I think) 8 months ago, and now it's November 2024 and I'm watching from California. This video came up after the one which was scheduled for today. I'm working outside the home today, but will try to get to some things tomorrow. Hubby just informed me that he brought home two frozen turkeys last night, so I really need to get into both Thanksgiving mode and Christmas mode. Lord, please help us all!
Dear Diane, I’m so glad I tuned in tonight to get a dose of inspiration and heard that you sometimes need the same. I’ve never commented before but I now understand how important it is for you to know that you’re not sending all your positive energy into a void.
Trust us when we say that your wonderful words and videos are connecting and moving us to action. Thank you for working through the rough patches to show us what’s possible!
Also, trust in the truism that for every commenter there are thousands of silent lurkers (like me) who are equally grateful for your support and encouragement. Your views and likes are testament to your reach. Big hug back to you!
We shared a down week. Thanks for the pompoms and cheers
Darling Diane, just remember how many people out there in our world love you. You give us the encouragement to tackle our complicated lives to keep our houses clean to be organised so we can cope. I have been watching you for nearly a year, you have made such a huge difference in the best way. I can't thank you enough.
Wishing you lots of luck next week, have a great time. Can't wait to see some photos. Xx
Diane, your videos have kept me going during last year which was a very difficult year for me because of the stress and trauma at work. I didn’t feel like cleaning or really doing anything at home. You kept me on task and I thank you for that. You are the best cheerleader. This year, while still recovering from my work trauma, still working full time, but making myself a priority. I definitely focus on self care now. Have a wonderful time next week and I know you will do great! Much love to you! ❤
I'm in a very similar situation and Diane has been my rock. I actually see progress. I'm sorry to hear about your situation and wish you all the best for the future! 🖖🏼
Dear Diane, your videos inspire me every time and you always make me smile. Thank you so much! I hope you have a wonderful week and this time we will be cheering you on instead of you cheering us on 😊
I’d be so lost without you Diane!!! I go through your old videos ALL the time. Especially on Sundays when I need extra cheer to get through the upcoming week. You’ve helped me keep my house in order while mourning loved ones. You are the best.
This month, I celebrate my 7th year with flylady method, I've been watching your videos since 2017 or 2018!!!
I enjoy your videos, each and every one of them. Sometimes, I am not able to watch them the day they are uploaded, but I do watch EACH one. You are the bright spot in my mornings the days I watch. I hope you realize how much your videos mean to many, many people. You are a treasure!
Missing your videos this week Diane! You keep me company and keep me motivated! Love your videos x
Hello my dear! And hello to all the fellow subscribers. The past year was really difficult to me, my mother passed away suddenly, in a very young age. Your videos are my motivation for keep going. It was supposed to be her birthday yesterday , and your upload got me put of bed! Please don't pay attention to the numbers. Thank you 🎉 for all your kindness. Greetings from Greece.😊
🤗
Thanks Diane, I'm pretty overwhelmed just now as we are trying to get my Dad's home ready to sell and ours too. Dad has just gone into a home and so there are lots of emotions slowing me down. I appreciate the reminder to just do a little bit
So sorry I’m late to this vlog………I’ve been away where Wi-Fi was almost non existent! 😬. Please don’t stop making videos. You are such an inspiration and love to follow along with cleaning which now doesn’t seem to be such a chore! Hope you’ve had an enjoyable and successful time away with your besties. 🎉🥇❤
Thank you!❤
I so enjoy your videos. I will miss your new videos this week. But I will go back and watch some of your old ones. Sending encouragement to you. You are a great inspiration to lots of people. 🎉🎉🎉
Miss your bright and uplifting videos! Hope you are taking a much needed rest and self care and I hope to see you back to help me and lots and lots of others in our day to day lives. Thank you for all that you do Diane! 🙏🎉
I've been sick since December and finally Dr is finding the right medicine. I have a little more energy and today I decluttered a little. Thank you for your videos!
Thank you
You are an inspiration!!! Never give up or feel like you're not making a difference. You're a real life super hero!!🎉
🥰 I love that your videos are short and concise. So many influencers drone on for 30 to 50 minutes, and while they can be interesting, sometimes they just drone on with long introductions or personal stories and I just do not have that amount of time to dedicate to watching them. I always have 10 minutes for your videos and come away feeling motivated and more importantly up built emotionally. Please keep it up.
Yes, it's been a difficult week. Thank you so much for still being here for us and have a great trip!!! ❤
You are making a difference in my life and so many more lives! You keep us going! RAH! RAH! RAH!!
Keep your fire lit, Diane! 🎉 Best of luck in your swimming and thank you for the reminder that self care is a warm hug to ourselves. - Jessica from Kansas, USA 🌻
Diane, even though I lurk and don’t comment, I look forward to your videos each week. I will endeavor to comment more in the future. Your videos help me so much! I work along with you. I’m doing my decluttering little by little and have made great progress over time.❤️
Love your videos Diane! Thanks for your inspiration 😊
I was having a difficult week last week, too. I was talking with my daughter who’s having health issues. I spoke your words to her that it’s in those difficult times that we rely on our routines to keep us grounded. I’m sorry that my taking an extra few days to watch your video made you think you aren’t appreciated. You are loved and appreciated. You are making a difference in our lives.
Your videos are definitely NOT rubbish!!! Please keep posting. You are such motivation and inspiration for us.
The past two weeks I have been a day late watching your videos . I am sorry. I do not want you to feel you are not appreciated. Your videos are the BEST! Have a glorious, exciting time in the cold water!
Dear Diane,
I don't watch your videos as much as I should. You are so helpful cheering us on ❤
Hi Diane, what does TH-cam know! It might see a few numbers up and down, but it will never know how deeply we appreciate and love you, how many people have the biggest respect for all your hard work and how many people's lives you've touched. I haven't been able to watch for the past two weeks because I've been down with pneumonia (and everyone in the family got sick). I wasn't able to watch or think about anything. Its been a challenge I won't lie, but now I am on the mend and am ready for new videos. Frankly, with everything coming to a halt and recovery taking a super long time I am going to be exlvery grateful for your sensible, practical and simple approach and all your wonderful encouragement. Looking forward to seeing you again! 🖖🏼💕
I have to tell you how much I enjoy Hearing " just keep putting one foot in front of the other" . my father used to say that when the going was tough. It helps. And I love to hear you making that referance.
My house has never been more organised and tidy since watching your channel. You keep it so real! So please keep making your videos on your channel, they keep me going especially through the darker days. Congratulations on going to the winter swimming championships, hope you had a wonderful time. This week I chose self-care mission two and three. I have started number two by not looking at my phone first thing in the morning otherwise I get sucked in and waste time first thing in the morning. And this has definitely been working as I seem to achieve more in the morning. I have been writing out all the missions each week, and have been looking at these over the past few weeks, and have been doing a previous one every now and then which brings me joy. So thanks Diane, this year is really working for me.❤
Dear Diane, this is the first time I have commented on a TH-cam Video. I created an account because I love your Videos so much and wanted to stick to the promise. Our Apartment looks cleaner than ever and this with a 5 month old baby. You are a big Inspiration for me. Hugs from Frankfurt, Germany ❤
Aww, how wonderful and THANK YOU!
Love your videos, good inspiration for me to work along with you and I love your positive attitude and encouragement!
Have fun next week, Diane! I can't wait to hear all about it. Sorry you had a tough week - remember that you have 87K subscribers! That is amazing and we appreciate you so much.
Dear Diane, TH-cam wants you to judge your success on numbers or algorithms, but it's real people who love you and although they may not always comment/watch the videos, you will have touched their life in a positive way however small. I really appreciate what you are doing and some weeks are difficult for me and I cannot find the right words to say, but I do appreciate your commitment to this process that you have set up, so don't give up. You've already succeeded just by doing what you do! You have made sense of Fly Lady for me and I now enjoy it even more. All the best for the swimming championships!! We will all be cheering you on to success!?🎉❤🎉❤🎉
I love Helen's question (& your answer) about where to keep old clothes suitable for painting.
Dear Diane, belated wishes for a fabulous time away with your friends. How exciting!
I appreciate every one of the videos you make. I’ve only stated watching consistently since you started doing your thrice weekly videos and I really love your content and encouragement.
My favourite is the decluttering day video.
Bless you for all you do for so many of us out here. I’m in Australia and love to hear about life in Denmark. A big
rah rah rah and best of luck with the cold water races xxx
Where would I be without you Diane!? I don’t comment much but I love you. I have six kids and my life is wild! I look forward to your cheering up!
Please, keep your videos coming 🙏 We love you. We need you. You really make a difference in so many homemakers lives. 👍🥰👍
I wake up looking forward to your videos. I cannot tell you the difference you have made in my life and my home. You give me the motivation to carry out the routines and work on my zones. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Hi, I don’t usually comment but watch all of your videos. Please keep this series…I love it!
Even if I’m off track, I know I can get back on track without feeling guilty by watching you. I get more done in10 minutes than imaginable. ❤
Diane you are my rock, perk me up and motivate me !
I greatly appreciate you Diane. I am very grateful that you are here for me-for us-week after week, month after month and year after year (I have been a regular viewer of yours since 2017). I am 55 and although I have always preferred a tidy home because it feels good, thanks to your teaching/coaching it has become
much easier for me. I have learned to do some things more often and some things less often. I have learned that I can accomplish more than I realized in just 10-15 minutes and also that some tasks don’t take nearly as long as I thought they did. And somehow I am finding my daily routines more joyful overall. Not only has my home become more tidy, cozy and minimal, but my entire life has thanks to you. Much love & thanks!
❤️🙏🏼✨
PS: I am choosing mission #4. I have a gel nail polish kit that I was gifted a year ago and never used.
It has definitely been a busy week for me with house renovations and lots of swimming laps at our local pool (its been hot in our part of Australia). I'm swimming "Laps For Life" which raises funds for prevention of youth suicide. All the best for your swimming comp. X
Hello Diane. I have been popping in and out of your videos for many years. I feel you are a good friend I have never met. Thank you so much for what you share with us. ❤🇦🇺
Please, know we all appreciate your positive and supportive videos. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. We all get down, with good reason. But, we bounce back with routines that keep us moving forward. ❤
Today I took an extra few minutes in the bathroom to paint my nails bright watermelon pink DYT T1 😊 The bright cheerful fingers took me through the day doing so many jobs and they reminded me of your words to take time for self care. I did and it made me smile in the grocery store and at the washing line and cooking dinner. Diane thanks for your reminders that these small offerings to care for ourselves are valuable. They truly are. ❤
Thanks for all you do. I discovered DYT because of your videos and have been guiding my family towards practical minimalist living. I work full-time and have two small boys under 7. I mostly listen to your videos with my phone sticking out of my back pocket running around the house. Please know you are loved and appreciated. Thank you for being you! ❤
Hi Diane, thank you for your videos, they cheered me up after my young neighbour had some difficult medical news. I think I will go for No.1 in the care list and buy some hot cross buns. Best wishes Lyn from Australia.
I chose the technology break. I hope you’re feeling a bit brighter Diane. Please don’t underestimate your impact; you’re making a real difference in so many lives. Thank you ❤
Thank you for being here, Diane. I would be sad without you to look forward to.
Diane, I have been watching for years. I will admit I am poor on comments. I went back to work outside my home this year after 27 years as a home daycare provider. I’m teaching preschool. But, I watch, listen faithfully but I’m usually cleaning with you and don’t get back to my iPad to comment. But, I will try to be better😊😊
Hi Diane, watching your Friday plan and play video while washing up and shining my sink on a rainy Sat afternoon in Manchester. I have been decorating my daughters bedroom this week, feeling overwhelmed by the mess of things being in the rest of the house. Watching your videos always helps me to take a breath and do one thing towards resetting. Funny note: walked past a lady in my local Aldi supermarket who was wearing a lovely pink sweatshirt with “hygge” written on the front. After walking past her twice and smiling, I said to her “I love your top!” She said thanks and told me how her son is living and working in Copenhagen and it’s the most amazing place! I said “I would love to go, I know about Hygge from watching Diane in Denmark - she’s fabulous and it looks like a gorgeous place.” Just thought I’d share this and hope it makes you smile. Thanks for all you do, whenever I am feeling overwhelmed or unsure about where to start on the house, I watch your video for inspiration! Xx
