    Wow Lydia.. Thank you so much for sharing this little piece of your book.
    The part where you say that you were 32 when you first smelled spring, I felt that one.
    I am a 31 year old recently divorced woman.
    In the end of autumn last year we decided to let go. This autumn we let go of our house.
    Letting go was and is the hardest thing I have ever had to do. I had failed, so it felt. I mourned.
    But then I realised that is was also my only way of not letting go of myself.
    My marriage had broken my branches, cracked my stem and almost got to my roots.
    But as I let go, with all the storms that came at me, I started to trust the wind and bounced back on it.
    I lost a lot in the past year. Even some friends.
    Unfortunately my hair also decided to let go.. So I cut it of to let new healthy hair grow back.
    It is still scary, especially with a little boy who is just turning 2 at the end of this month, trusting you to do the right thing.
    Little things like your channel, your own journey and -as far as I can judge right now- your book make life a little softer. It opens my eyes to see the beauty in nature, in people and in myself, wich is a tough one sometimes as we can all agree on I suppose.
    I dont know why I had the need to share this.
    I just want to say thank you for who you are and trusting yourself enough to expres and share it with your community.
    Thank you Lydia, it means a lot. x

    To whoever is strategizing Lydia’s video titles, please stop cheapening the content with the awful clickbait titles. If this is the launch of the long awaited book, why a title such as “this is the end” … not only is it negative it is discouraging to click on.

It begins in 1924 & how she reminisces about decisions she made throughout her life, in childhood & during & after the war & what if her life had gone in a different direction.

We don’t really get that where I am. I am loving the book so much and really enjoy you reading it, it sounds so right to have you reading it. Thank you so much for this delightful book. I’m fairly new to your channel and love the direction it’s taken, I love the chickens and the dogs and all of your personal stuff that you let us enjoy.

    Dear Lydia, having been following your journey for a good six or seven years now I can't even express the joy I feel seeing you and the life you have built for yourself. The inspiration you are and continue to share is so beautiful. And it is just so wonderful to see you in truee autenthicity and humbleness, showing your quirky and emotional sides. I am sorry, I am not that good with words (let alone english) but I just wanted to let you know how much appreciate you and that watching this video gave me a great sense of peace and love and happiness. So much looking foward to reading and listening to your book. You are amazing - and so is your family and team :) Lots of Love from Austria ❤

    Lydia I am deeply amazed at how beautifully you have noted the concept of gratitude! You have been inspiring so many people including myself in being present with the moment, appreciating what one has and to be deeply enriched by our surroundings! I must say that ever since I have watched your videos when you moved into your house. I remember you said in your videos to take care of your home. If there is a crack or a issue with the house, try to repair it as it’s a way that the home you living in is crying for help. (Not literally) but it made so much sense tk me. Thank you so much Sweet Lydia for sending positivity into my life and in my mind! I am forever thankful to you ❤

    I really like that you talked about your envrionment of work, I think focusing on what makes you happy more than only hardwork is a really sustainable environment of work. Sometimes ambition is not really what will drive us far, it's more the way we will manage our life. Consistency is important, but self-care, being indulgent with ourself is the most important ingredient to a fullfield dream.
    Passion is a magnificent way to work, but it can be extremely burning, so it's amazing that you are listening to yourself and the needs of the people you are working with ! (And that should be the norm to be fair)
    Congratulations for your book, I look forward listening to it!

    I'm not sure you'll ever read this comment but felt compelled to write it anyway even though I've never commented before. I discovered you during the pandemic in 2020 while quarantined with Covid in my bedroom away from my family. I went back and watched many of your earlier videos and haven't missed one since. To be compleyely honest, there have been times I've thought you were a bit spoiled and pretentious and somewhat unrelatable, but the last couple of years I've seen you change and mature and grow into a confident, relatable and more grateful woman. I admire someone who can step back, reevaluate, and then continue moving forward in a way that inspires others. I have always enjoyed your content, but now I value it on a more personal level and look forward to what you will bring to your audience in the future. Congratulations on your book, your successful career, and for rising above the negativity that putting your life on display brings. I could not be happier for you and I'm so looking forward to reading your book. All the best to you from a loyal subscriber in the USA. ❤

    Well done Lydia! This book is absolutely stunning. It is a warm hug, a cheerleader, a coach all in one. Lydia does a superb job telling her own story of navigating through the seasons of life with the growth and challenges that it brings but also being so relatable and inspiring at the same time. I found myself crying along to some of the Autumn excerpts and feeling unbelievable joy in Summer, inspiration in Spring and ready to roll up my sleeves in Winter and do the work of retrospect, regeneration and gathering strength for a busy time ahead in Spring. This book is a work of art, better than any self help, anxiety, depression or growth book I have ever read. I know I will come back to this book time and time again for its beautifully written words, comforting advice and reminders to celebrate success all around.
    Thank you again for writing this book Lydia, it is the very epitome of sitting with warm blanket next to a fireplace during a snowstorm that sometimes life can feel like. Cosy and comforting do not even begin to do this book justice.

I can only order the Kindle version at this time. It arrived on time and before I went home from work I started reading the book. My eyes filled up with tears cuz I could relate to certain things and understand the lessons and thoughts that you have had. I am only 15% into the book as I am a slow reader. I already want to get this book to a friend who is going through so much but I'm not exactly sure how. As I know the hard copy doesn't come out until May. This book could not have come at a better time. I'm going to be reading it at work and my down time, when I get home before I go to bed, and is quickly as I can. I'm only 15% into the book in the book has already blown me away. I love reading books but sometimes they take me a long time this one is already caught my heart. Thank you. The beginning of your video is absolutely breathtaking please continue to let him film so you can put it in your videos. Love everything you do.

    Lydia, Many Congratulations on your beautiful book. That is an incredible achievement and you should be very proud of yourself. I haven't read the book yet, but listening to you reading paragraphs while recording the audio, it is very clear that you wrote your book from the heart, and your feelings will come across so clearly to people who will listen to the audio recording aswell. Many people write books, but for those who write from the heart, that very much resonates with the reader. Hearing you in today's vlog recording, your words had a profound effect on me, as I am sure it will have with many of your followers across all platforms. What you said regarding the importance of the people you surround yourself with, as well as the mindset and work ethic of the team of people you work with, that is so important to try to get the balance right and it is always so important for you to do what you feel is right for you and not someone else. I have watched numerous of your vlogs, but this vlog, you reached me, and I am sure so many people who watch in a very strong and profound way. You are very relatable, and your kindness, empathy and generosity knows no bounds. I wish you much, much more continued success in all you do. Thank you for sharing yourself and your incredible life with all of us. ❤❤

    Your rapport and your sense of style has become incredibly sophisticated and I would be delighted to learn where your dress in this video is from.
    Congratulations again, Lydia

    Congratulations on your book Lydia! I can’t wait for to read it as I need inspiration/some positivity at the moment. I’m heading into my 5th and final round of IVF. I have endometriosis, Adenomyosis and fibroids. I’ve had 11 operations, I’ve had to leave my job this year as my new manager of 12 months made things really hard for me. It’s been an awful time and I finally feel like I might be turning a corner.

    Lydia, I adore you as I'm watching you read thru the emotional parts of your book. I have already downloaded it, but haven't gotten to those parts yet. It brought me to tears, as I know exactly how you felt at that time in your life. It's strange how everyone seems to be at each other's throats these days, whether it be the politics, the wars, etc. But we all have so much in us that is so, so relatable.. And I just really felt that watching this. Sending lots of love from America.

Your garden looked amazing - I love white flowers. Ali did so much in the garden - I do my own and love it. I have had big gardens but now love my town garden. I see so much from my windows. I thought you were going to swear at the dogs for a minute there but that is dogs for you. They were so pleased to see you.

I remember that video when you said you were focusing on a new project that would take a lot of your time and here we are! I am so sad I won’t get a signed copy but I ordered from Amazon and I cannot wait to read the book.

  • @LD88888

    Dear Lydia,
    With respect and sincerity, I'd like to share some thoughts with you. If your aspiration is to carve a unique space for yourself in the writing world, distinct from the influencers' landscape, there are key qualities to uphold.
    Honesty and authenticity should form the bedrock of your narratives. An open mind invites diverse perspectives and stimulates growth, while embracing all types of feedback - both positive and negative - can foster self-improvement and understanding. From my observation, it seems differing opinions or constructive criticism are frequently removed from your platforms. This bubble-like environment, where only affirming views are allowed, may inadvertently restrict your growth as a writer.
    Moreover, I've read your book and I appreciate the effort and hard work that you've put into your book. However, I have to be candid and say that the quality of the material fell short of expectations. There are numerous areas that require significant improvement and development. Without these necessary revisions, the book, in its current state, is quite disappointing.
    Additionally, I wanted to address the matter of 'clickbait' titles in your posts. While they can indeed drive traffic and visibility, they can also lead to a perception of insincerity or manipulation. Striving for genuine engagement with your audience may yield more meaningful interactions and respect in the long run.
    Remember, it's through the prism of varied opinions and feedback that we grow. They offer opportunities to see ourselves and our work from different perspectives, which is invaluable in the world of writing.
    I encourage you to be more receptive to these voices and to prioritize authenticity in all your interactions. Being truthful to oneself is the essence of writing, and it's through this authenticity that we truly connect with our audience.
    All the best on your journey.
