    I am here. I had a rough time but have been collecting your videos this year for when I can watch. I became quite busy trying to set up my fresh start at age 48 in life. I found a job on top of my ebay store I have with my son. And been learning that I am capable of working after being a stay at home mom for 20 years. Still learning how to stand on my own feet but still passionate about having my life and home manageable. Not up to the standards I want, but I am moving forward. Thank you. Even though I couldn't watch these newer videos at the time they came out, I am going to participate and help myself moving forward. I am here for simplifying, decluttering, and hygge.

Thank you so much Diane for all your effort and hard work making these videos. Like so many, I really appreciate it and my life is honestly better for having you in it having lost my mum at an early age. You give such good, practical advice and make everything much easier to deal with and possible with your positive attitude and energy. I find you so comforting and at the same time, inspirational. I wish you and your family health and happiness for the coming year and always.

    I am a minimalist and know your channel for a looong time. Last years I got sidetracked, when my husband and I as two young adults were mainly focused on our careers. Few months ago, we found out we are expecting our first baby 💛 and I nearly panicked, when realized how much our home needs to change and prepare for the family. But I knew I could rely on you, Diane - pregnant I started with the Flylady system and your videos again. Now in the third trimester, I get more and more tired every day, but I can confess with calm, that our home is mostly decluttered, clean and we have enough free space for the baby. Thank you Diane, with you, I don’t feel alone when need a cheer up! 🌟Misha

    Hi Diane, I don't use Facebook or Instagram anymore, and you are among a small group of UA-camrs whose content I really enjoy, as it is motivational and uplifting, plus I 'm always learning something new! I particularly enjoy the cleaning inspiration and motivational chat, Danish Hygge and cooking/recipies. I love that you are talking about simplifying this year. I hadn't really thought about it in those terms, but I guess that's what a lot of us are seeking too, by de-cluttering and establishing better routines. Thank you so much for being here, and I'll be here cheering you on, as you cheer us on! xx

    Hi Diane! I just recently started to follow you after I saw you on DYT Spring Style School. I've been binge watching your videos the last two weeks or so! Watching your videos has actually been comforting and healing for me, as I am facing a significant health issue. I'm a semi-empty nester and I'm semi -retired (my hubby is already retired) so my lifestyle and my family 's lifestyles have changed. What I love most from your videos (really I love everything!) is your explanations about why decluttering and routine is good for us. With my family's changing lifestyles as well as my own, I have lost my sense of routine. My house has been cluttered and disorganized. It's hard for me to move forward and plan for what I want my second part of life to be when my house is cluttered and I don't have a sense of routine. Watching your videos brings me a sense of calm. Watching you declutter and clean motivates me, and I after watching you I feel like "I got this!" I have already cleaned out my family's huge storage closet, bathroom cupboard, and now I am starting to go though my wardrobe thinking about how I want to simplify so I can enjoy my life more fully. Thank you for being such a great coach and cheerleader! P.S. I love your Friday chats and learning about you and Denmark!

Last year I some how slipped away from the Fly Lady system and watching your video's, which in hindsight I see made for a crappy year. Today is a new day, a new year, I'm going to watch your video's and take a moment to make comments. It's January 8th and today I'm going to pack up my Christmas decor and write my thank you notes as well as sending out a family newsletter with photo's of our first grandchildren as some of our family and close friends have not yet met them. I now wish I had done all this at least a week ago... I have to start with where I am. Dressed to shoes hair and makeup done, Laundry done folded and put away. I am also simplifying subscriptions, etc. I will be with you this coming year! Thank you too, for all you do! I'm relieved you are still here to help us all, I need you. Thanks!

Iowa 🌽 😁 my mom is 100% Dane (her grandparents on both sides came over on the ship from Denmark 🇩🇰 she’s a part of the Danish brother and sisterhoods here 😊) and so I’m 50% Dane (and we’re proud!) and so I’m loving the Hygge/Denmark stuff but also the cleaning and decluttering etc! I, and fam of 4, live more simple. So important. Clean, simple, cozy. And that’s why I love Hygge because it’s about enjoying the simple things like candles lit 🕯️ or sitting by a fire 🔥 (we live in the country and love camp fires, esp in the winter! ❄️) or drinking some hot tea or coffee ☕️ 🫖 🍵 all snuggled in a blanket with warm socks 🧦 ahhhh ❤ love it! I even added a wall decal onto our window above our door that says ‘Hygge- Danish, and how to pronounce it 😊)
    So thank you! Plus my mama is Diana but many accidentally call her Diane a lot hehe 😜
    There’s a reason the Danes have been called the happiest country for what like 50+ yrs?! 😁 and y’all even have long dark days and lots of cold. Everybody can learn from the Danes. A big part, is the social aspect with friends and family. Gatherings. Laughter. Good food. Cheers to a New Year! 🍻 God bless.
    Btw we’d always go to danish Christmas parties and dance around the tree and sing one of the songs you mentioned, and we’d just sing along but didn’t know the words really hehe. Sounded to me like “new hollyoolagen” hehe. Fun times! My mom can say the 23 Psalm in Danish though-her grandmother taught her ❤

Thanks for your cheery encouragement- I’m surrounded by negativity and really need the lift!

    I don't often comment on videos, but since you requested comments, here I am. I am so happy to hear you are simplifying your schedule and your life down to what works best for you and your family right now. My phrase of the year is ROOM TO BREATHE! I watch your videos for nearly all your content. I benefit from the Flylady routines, Dressing Your Truth, decluttering, cleaning motivation, crafting and hygge videos. I often watch your other videos because you make them so pleasant to view. I think many of your followers simply enjoy your personality, your practicality, your openness, and your encouragement. I'm glad the pom-poms are staying. You are a lovely person, Diane💕 Thank you for the hard work you put into blessing us all.

    I am so relieved you’re not leaving UA-cam. Your videos have kept me sane and organised this past year. I particularly love the way you have simplified the fly lady system. Especially the routines. If ever I’m feeling overwhelmed or down I switch you on and it’s not long before you have inspired me to get off my bahookie and get moving. I shall be stealing your word of the year “simplify”because although my home is pretty decluttered. Thanks to you . I could use some simplifying in my wardrobe and dinning room. Love your idea of sticking to only certain colours in your wardrobe. Thank you for the joy and education you bring into my life. ❤

I am putting away Christmas decorations while listening this morning. Had to stop the video and finish my morning routine when you mentioned it! 😂 Now on to the decluttering part! So very grateful for you, dear Diane, and am 100% on board with simplifying ❤

You have taught this former housework hater well. FlyLady has been wonderful. I've been doing it for several years and I'm at the stage where I'm comfortable about things not falling to pieces if I'm under the weather or on vacation. Thanks for all you do Diane. 😊

    Simplifying sounds great! I'm moving into 2024 feeling quite lost, but focusing on simplifying feels like a good place to start. I lost my mum early january '23, and my FIL in september, so 2023 was a rough year for me and my family. I was happy that it' over, but couldn't really feel excited for the coming year. But simplifying is a good place to start, it has a tendency to open up for unexpected things. Thank you for continuing to cheer us on, Diane! I hope 2024 will be a fabulous year for you! 🎉

    My husband and I lived in East Africa many years ago. We had lovely Norwegian and Danish friends there. On the way back to the United States., we visited them.
