In this episode I cover a lot of things that I did this week at Sugarwood, our 1790 countryside home in New England. I'm sharing what I do to help manage and lessen my anxiety, some garden updates, a casual table setting for our Easter Brunch, and a few other things around the home. I will also be sharing a little something about me you didn't know... I deal with a mild stutter and I'm sharing an unedited clip of that for the first time ever.

Linda, I would never have guessed you struggle so. I find your voice very soothing and you are a pro story teller!

@newenglandfineliving Год назад

Thank you Tracy!

@barbarakozlowski2642 Год назад

Not many people can find the beauty in ordinary things. The beautiful reflection in your glass of wine was wonderful. You pay such attention to detail.

You are brave, smart, creative and successful. That’s more than a lot considering the challenges you deal with. Way to go, Linda! You are doing great!

You are so brave for sharing your ADHD, Neuro, and stuttering issues. Thank you! I have to tell you, I am really surprised because your channel is so relaxing to me... I would have never guessed you had anxiety. It is amazing you decided to relate to people with the same pain. I always learn something watching your videos. Today I learned woodpeckers prevent concussions with their tongues~ who knew!

@ingridblohm-hyde805 Год назад

ADHD, anxiety, horror about driving on hyways with large trucks, drinking Lemon Balm tea to calm down the extra busy mind... Linda, I thought you were talking about me - kindred spirit indeed. Now I do not feel so alone about the issues you mentioned. Gardening frees me a bit of anxiety, but what frees me from anxiety the most are my horses. The beautiful lawn and barn you have are your answer to free yourself completely from the anxiety, at least for longer periods of time. Give yourself a big gift and get yourself a couple of horses, even if they are just ponies. Brushing a horse, sitting in a chair watching the horses graze, is one of the most peaceful things I do for myself as all of the anxiety falls away and I can be completely in the moment. Sipping Lemon balm tea for the extra twist of peace as I share space with my horses is like a trip to heaven.

One of my favorite things about you and your channel is that you present many different angles to living well and with elegance, but you don’t take yourself too seriously and you don’t seem haughty or prideful which makes you so relatable and I can think we could be good friends in real life. Thanks for being you and doing your channel the way you do. 💜

@marthaschermann5562 Год назад

Thanks for sharing your health issues with us. There are so many things that others deal with and you just never know what is going on in someone else's world. You really do an amazing job with everything that you tackle even if it takes a little bit longer. Make that broken teapot into a planter or bird feeder. And Oh that Willow and her ball. She is such a oy and I also love how Ben gave you little peck on the cheek before you headed out with your Mom. You are very lucky to have all three of them in your life.

@jennifercline7843 Год назад

Looking from your kitchen to the fireplace, two windows, with Willow looking out is unbelievably cozy and relaxing. And to have it all presided over by Queen Ann Bess is everything . Flanked by the brass wall sconces is everything. I hope she stays forever.

Don’t give up on veggies, Linda! The economy is tanking, there’s weather modification, societal unrest. Anything you can do to improve self sufficiency will help. Flowers will improve pollination of veggies as well.

Some RU-vidrs I watch say the military is dumping aluminum, barium, and strontium in the chemtrails. Why? Who knows.

Your design aesthetic is timeless. As it ages it just makes even more sense from the time you put it together. Reason being is your attention to detail is the needed but also the fun stuff in life, that we do , see or use EVERY DAY . ie : fresh green and light orange pumpkins to replace the faded daisies from summer well lived on the dining table as we harvest autumn.

I loved hearing that you are a very early riser! I am too - and often at 4:30 - 5:00 like you - and I cherish the couple of hours to myself before my husband gets up. Warm robe, comfy chair and ottoman, cup of coffee and my daily inspirational and crossword puzzle. Magical quiet time.

You are very brave Linda and I love your voice. I had a stroke in my mid-50s and nobody would know it if I didn’t try to carry on conversations because none of it was physical that people see. It was all verbal plus struggling to read. RU-vid has been a lifesaver. Thank you for sharing, you are touching many, many people ❤

@autumncolors6685 Год назад

I love how brave you are - God bless you. I wonder if everyone has some sort of deficiency/anxiety, I know I do. I found that being transparent about myself helps me feel a bit stronger - when we're real, we have less to worry about, like exposure of insecurities. I deal with my own anxieties, mostly while I'm driving, but my husband helps me tremendously - God bless him too. Can't wait to try some of your tea blend. Keep up the great work - you truly inspire me to create my own grand living space.

Thank you for sharing your story with us, Linda. I also live with Neurological issues that change the way I walk and process information. I've always felt that it doesn't help to hide our struggles.

I needed to be reminded I am not alone. I am always trying to make my home more beautiful so that I can enjoy each day. My mind trap is when I have house envy and become convinced any one with such a nice home ( like yours) must have no problems at all. But this is magical thinking we all struggle. Do you think being creative helps with these feelings? It helps me in the moment I am painting or engaged in an organizing task and that helps me navigate a harder day. Sometimes I wish my mind would not always need the challenge and would just relax. Alas....I do not seem to be built that way.

The part of the video where you shared the Spring peepers and the woodpeckers brought back so many memories for me. It’s bittersweet to retire to Northwest Arizona and not have those beautiful sounds that I’ve heard all my life and miss so much. Cicadas at the end of Summer are another thing I love and don’t hear here. Seeing Willow with her ball was really special. Our wire-haired fox terrier was ball mad and always thought his balls needed dunked in his outside water dish!

I love your honesty and humor about your challenges. My father, who has passed on, had a stutter which wasn't obvious unless he was over tired. My husband had a stutter his whole life until he went in the navy! (😳) and now at the age of 72 still has what I call a "hesitation" when talking to people in certain situations. He is normally very quiet and uses the least amount of words he has to when communicating... common in people who stutter.
