I hope you enjoy this video. It took awhile to put together, but it was a wonderful reminder to some things I need to work on. Hopefully a tip or two will help you out too. Hugs!
My father used to quote Edmund Burke “THE ONLY THING NECESSARY FOR THE TRIUMPH OF EVIL IS THAT GOOD MEN DO NOTHING”. My mother always said “Don’t ASK people if they need help. Just help them.” Speaking of Karma, this came back when she was diagnosed with terminal cancer. If it snowed, a neighbor would shovel our walk, even though my dad could have done it. People would drop off food, etc even though we could have cooked. Just relieving us of some of these simple chores and decisions meant so much ❤️f
You've inspired me to write my own "Things i learned from my mother" . 'She's been gone 7 years now. My favorite saying of her's is "Enjoy the simple things". Whether it be the perfumed fragrance of her roses, the delight in a passing butterfly, the cheerful singing of the birds, a colorful rainbow, spectacular sunsets, a full moon reflecting on the river, sitting around the campfire with family and friends, or relaxing in her garden with a cup of coffee. These were some of her simple pleasures.
I like this format. My grandmother used to say - "You are a slave to your words and master of your silance" (I'm translating from Spanish - but this is the meaning)
I heard this saying from a co-worker in french a few years ago and it has stuck with me; "tu es esclave de ce que tu dis et maitre de ce que tu ne dis pas"
Decluttering: “Don’t love things that don’t love you back.” Thanks for that. My mother used to say, “Stop worrying about things that don’t even end up happening”
My Mom used to encourage me to see Jesus in everyone. It really formed in me a love for people. Even people that don’t live like me, look like me or think like me.
At first I wasn’t sure if I liked the new format, because I was trying to concentrate on the beautiful pictures as well as trying to listen to you. After about 10 minutes in or so, I found I was able to do both, and I love the new format! I’m a young 73 year old so It takes a little bit of patience learning a new way to do things! I much prefer seeing you rather than the podcast. Your videos are so inspiring to me! Thank you for making these videos, which I find are very uplifting and lovely to watch. ❤️
You make me want to write my own list.my mother at 80yrs.young is always still giving us (4) daughters , &one son ,icall them words of wisdoms especially I tell her now where is your lipstick mom.?yes,the bed!make your bed when you get out of it,you will feel better when your bed is made.the best one I still do daily is when cooking clean up as you go,!and keep a sink of clean, soap water.it make you have less chores as you cook. I am thankful for all the lessons at 63.
Thank you Linda good show. My grandmother used to say Do not follow the multitude to do evil. Who carry you don't bring you back. Do not watch what people have, or cut your eyes off what people things. Do not lie when you can hide from a thief you can't hide from a lair.
Thank you for sharing and I heard very much the same growing up. I would piggyback onto your #2 Hold the Door and say that if someone holds the door for you, ALWAYS acknowledge them by saying “thank you”. I have held the door many times and find it impolite when the person doesn’t even acknowledge my gesture of consideration. Just yesterday, I had someone offer for me to go ahead of them in line because I had just a few items and another person hold the door for me. Both times I looked them right in the eyes, smiled and said thank you.
Here's another lesson to add to your list - when someone does something hurtful to you, respond by finding some thing purely good to do for someone else. A random someone else who will just shift the hurt feeling to a feeling of peace and goodness. It really works.
My mother always taught me to say Thank You and always have gratitude toward others when they show me any act of kindness. And always be thankful for what I have.
I had to laugh a bit at the elephant point. One of my ADHD daughters was struggling with a large assignment as an older teen. I asked her “how do you eat an Elephant? “ fully expecting her to say one bite at a time. I laughed out loud when she said I guess you could start at the trunk? Lol
My mother gave me the love of gardening & the library. Both have served me well. She also would say children learn more from what you don’t say. Amazing how I hear my Mother almost everyday❤️
🌸What wonderful life lessons from your Mother! I always tell my young grandsons to “be polite and help others”. One of my five-year old twins just got the “Compassionate” award in his kindergarten class! Maybe Grannies know something after all! Thank you, Linda 💜
Thank you Linda. This was a lovely video. A mother's "pearls of wisdom" that we should never forget and remember to pass on to the future generation. Thank you again for sharing. You have a great channel.
I have a book called SIMPLE ABUNDANCE and she calls Housework HOUSECARE!!! I will play music , sometimes hit the random button and see what messages come through the lyrics of the songs, light some Incense and turn all the lights on and dance about as I do it , It has made a huge difference in my life xxx Thanks for these tips xx
My Mother died when I was 14 so I credit her with how I was raised but don't remember specific things. It warms my heart when my 35 and 40 year old daughters mention a way I influenced them. The thing they mention most frequently is me saying "the harder you work the luckier you get". It has always been my motto as I did not have an easy time in life and had to work extra hard. It is funny how people will mention how lucky someone is when they have worked hard to cultivate many of the 42 things you mention. Most things are attainable if you want them enough.
Thanks for these mini lessons. I found this to be uplifting, useful and challenging (in a good way). I enjoy and look forward to your latest anytime I see a new video. You open up or worlds to places, ideas and experiences that are interesting and brings your piece of the world into our homes. Thank you for sharing. Keep them coming and God Bless You💃💞
I have all white bedding and cherry furniture too. I love the contrast. This was sweet. My mom was my best friend and shopping buddy. We shared a love of decor and makeup. I miss her so!
I have one: At the grocery why not let the person behind that has one or two articles pass in front. Sometimes I tell them to do the same to someone else next time they are in this situation.Linda, I really like to ¨have you in my life¨ grazie
I often do this, and one time the man (a stranger) I let go ahead of me lingered after he paid. It turned out he was paying for my groceries. Almost $50.00 in total!
Loved this! I always wear my lipstick everyday and every where, something my mother always taught me. She would always make sure she put her lipstick on before my father got home from work!😘
My mom always taught us to appreciate natural beauty. The whole family uses the term, "sunset alert" , to let everyone know to look at the sunset. I have a friend that always said to her kids, "be a blessing", when they were going out. I thought that was more meaningful than the often heard, " be good".
All very reasonable and ones l have lived with my whole lifetime! To be your very best you, to be the one to give grace ,to take the high road, to think of your fellow man, will help you become a happier person. With what we have all witness these last couple of weeks on the news , we could all use a reminder that what you put out in the world your likely going to receive back. Just be kind. I will add two more to your list, stand up straight don't slouch and always wear clean underwear!!😊🍁
Linda , number 13 about being independent was the number one advice my Mom gave to all of her daughters ever since I could remember, and am I ever thankful I followed through on that !
You are a beautiful person Linda and I am so happy I found your RUclips channel!! Thank you for sharing the wonderful life lessons you have learned from your mother and own experiences. I really enjoyed the scenery as well 🌸 I also live in New England and absolutely love your home and taste in decorating. I share your pleasure in finding unique antique pieces at consignment shops, Craigslist or even the side of the road! LOL! Traditional New England living and decorating sings to my soul. I look forward to seeing more videos from you especially as we move towards spring! Your videos provide much enjoyment and inspiration!
My mom was from MA and would often tell me not to get a fat head, particularly when I did something worthy of a compliment. I think about that to this day and try and try and remain humble. Loved this podcast/video!
What a wonderful video. I have never listened to this one and it has certainly given me a lot to think about. A lot of what your mother told you are things I try to tell my six children. They are all adults now, but motherly advice never goes out of style. Your mother must be a wonderful lady. I am glad I decided to listen to some of your old videos Thank you!
I wrote these all down! I follow many but there are some I can add to my life and some I need to improve. Thank you for sharing! I had to laugh at your last one. I tell my students that saying all the time. When I see they are overwhelmed with a project, I say, "How do you eat an elephant?" and they smile and respond, "One bite at a time!"
Loved this! These are such important points to remember no matter our stage in life. The beautiful pictures were nice too but I liked that I could work while listening. :)
Linda... this was outstanding! I love your voice, so calming and you can tell you think before you speak and it comes from the heart. I was so happy to hear that I am in a very good place right now at 72. My new assignment is to call old friends more. I am a positive person, and always feel grateful for the life I have, so I always get a lot of satisfaction from helping others. And, my son and I do volunteer at our local Soup Kitchen monthly. We are going on 4 years. Take care and keep up the wonderful work you do. 💕
Loved all these tips...my mother would always said “ don’t cry over anything that can’t cry over you!” So of course I say it to my children and grandchildren!
Hi from England (the old one! 😂). This was just lovely to listen to while I was doing some jobs in the kitchen. Have to say my mum and dad taught me the majority of these (or I do them anyway) but there were a couple that gave me food for thought - thank you! Lovely video 😊😊🇬🇧🇬🇧🧡💚
Love this new format. I prefer it over a podcast. Thanks for the great refresher on such important Life Lessons! Linda, your blog and You Tube are the highlight of my online life.
I am so grateful for finding this channel. I have been very sick with covid and just watching you in your kitchen has helped me to just stand up and clean for a few minutes. It doesn’t sound like much but the struggle is real. You have such a beautiful home and Willow is the sweetest dog ever. I am looking at things from a different perspective and as I get better I think it’s time for change. Also I have to try your apple pie when I can taste again. 😀
Sharing what you learned from your wonderful Mother is so great. I would love to see where you grew up. You have talked about the bottles and such that was found. 🔆
I loved this. My Mom said “Let your word be your bond.” She wanted us to be honest and have integrity. She’s been gone 10 years and I still hear her in my head all the time. And as much as that could irritate me when I was a teenager who knew everything; now, I wouldn’t have it any other way.
I am currently eating my elephant one bite at a time! 🙂 I have been in this 23 square meter studio apartment in a retirement village for two and a half years, and finally am getting to purge and sort mainly work materials etc - a lot of switcheroos and reorganization, but I am starting to see the plate under the elephant -yay!! It is taking months of dedicated Saturdays, as the rest of the week I am either earning a small income or visiting with folk here where I live. This is a community of 300 plus folk, and very social! But that RUclips channel is beckoning me....nothing major, but I believe I can encourage a wider audience of folk who have been widowed. Txs for the reminder to try!
"I am starting to see the plate under the elephant". OMG I love that! LOL. If you hear me ever use that in the future, you can know I got it from you! LOL enjoy your purging! I find it cathartic at times.
I think one thing I might add to this - If there’s something that needs to be done, don’t procrastinate. Get up and do it. Never put off till tomorrow, what you can do today. Tomorrow will have its own things that need doing.
Hi Linda, what a fabulous video, I loved it, my Mum told me always treat others the way you wish to be treated. I could comment on all the things you've mentioned but just picking a couple, I always wear lipstick too, as we as mascara and blusher even if I don't put any other makeup on, and I always make the bed. We don't have a dishwasher (well I do its hubby Graham) and we always wash any last dishes that are left before we go to bed, its usually a couple of wine and water glasses, it makes it much more pleasant to get up to a tidy kitchen in the mornings. Again, loved the video regards Julie from England 🇬🇧 x
Hi Linda everything you said was down to the T and then some. You should put this down in a book and it’s so true . Thank you so much for sharing. It’s like everything you should know before you grow ,up to be a better person excellent 👍🏻👏🏻idea thank you so much. God bless you and family 🙏🏻🥰
I do most everything you have said . We must have very similar Mothers . I always put on my makeup even if I am staying home all day . You just feel better when you take care of yourself . My Mother always said always be kind to everyone and take the time to make them feel special. I am happiest when my home is clean and in order. So I never go without making my bed and making sure everything is neat and tidy. Guess I got that from my Mother also. I love breakfast for dinner because I am not a big breakfast eater but love all those foods. Great advice for sharing.
I just finished this video, and related to it in so many ways. From 'be on time', 'be polite' to ''better to overdress than under dress and 'don't lie', so many of these life lessons are what I try to follow, and tried to share with my (now adult) children. I very much enjoyed listening to it, because in this crazy world the niceties of life are sometimes ignored or considered passe. Another that I follow is about drinking and driving; 'if you are driving, don't even have one. That way no mistakes can be made'. A very enjoyable 25 minutes!
We all need reminding of what’s right and good in our lives ! Thanks for this beautiful life lessons to look back on and move forward with gratitude and grace ! Love walking through the garden with you ! It fills my soul ♥️
Thanks Linda - Great video: audio & visual. I enjoyed the close up of the yellow flower and the tiny bee flying by it. Your not alone in what you were taught and seeing some of the comments we were taught the same principles. Your channel is a breath of fresh. Thank you for your hard work! 😊
You are one of my favorites 🙆♀️and my mom used to tell me some of the same, and now i do the same with my two girls., Thanks for sharing i enjoyed it ❤
vERY LOVELY VIDEO! My mother always wore lipstick, so now I do too!! Never too old to be reminded of important life lessons!! Have a great week! I am so glad to have found you, Linda!
Loved your video!!! Our mothers showed us through their love for us the many ways to live a good life. The other day my great grand daughter was playing and her mother went off to get her a toy she wanted and with her little soft voice she said thank you. She is only three years old. This really touched my heart. Continue to do your good work.
Great video and I love this format ! I totally agree with all theses lessons.....it was so nice to hear your calming voice and see all the beautiful places, gardens and pictures of you. You are one good looking lady.💃🏻. I just love your channel and the community you have created.
When I started working after high school my mom made me open a bank account and before I got married She told me to always have my own account, here Iam married 43 years still working full time with my own account!
I hope you enjoy this video. It took awhile to put together, but it was a wonderful reminder to some things I need to work on. Hopefully a tip or two will help you out too. Hugs!
I loved this format, Linda! As always, I look forward to your next video!
Love your messages
This was so nice, thank you for sharing. Linda, you are so much like your mother 💕

These are great! I have one from my mother...when you’re cooking, clean up as you go. It’s especially important if your kitchen is small.
You've inspired me to write my own "Things i learned from my mother" . 'She's been gone 7 years now. My favorite saying of her's is "Enjoy the simple things".

My Mom used to encourage me to see Jesus in everyone. It really formed in me a love for people. Even people that don’t live like me, look like me or think like me.
My mother would say, "offer it up to Jesus", in a tough situation! Isay it to my grandkids!

I loved writing the list. I might have cried a little too ;-). Go for it!

My mother always taught me to say Thank You and always have gratitude toward others when they show me any act of kindness. And always be thankful for what I have.
I had to laugh a bit at the elephant point. One of my ADHD daughters was struggling with a large assignment as an older teen. I asked her “how do you eat an Elephant? “ fully expecting her to say one bite at a time. I laughed out loud when she said I guess you could start at the trunk? Lol

Good afternoon Linda beautifully said and lovely pictures. Blessings to you. Maria
It reminds me of something I heard once with regard to your life
."Be happy with who you are and proud of where you've been." God Bless
I love that!
I have all white bedding and cherry furniture too. I love the contrast. This was sweet. My mom was my best friend and shopping buddy. We shared a love of decor and makeup. I miss her so!
My mother always said, "If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all." It is something she lives by.
I have one: At the grocery why not let the person behind that has one or two articles pass in front. Sometimes I tell them to do the same to someone else next time they are in this situation.Linda, I really like to ¨have you in my life¨ grazie
I do the same thing at the grocery store a lot, especially when it’s an employee going on their lunch break!
I always do that. It’s just a random act of kindness.
I often do this, and one time the man (a stranger) I let go ahead of me lingered after he paid. It turned out he was paying for my groceries. Almost $50.00 in total!
Loved this! I always wear my lipstick everyday and every where, something my mother always taught me. She would always make sure she put her lipstick on before my father got home from work!😘
Linda, thank you so much. I thoroughly enjoyed this video. Very wise sayings and beautiful scenery.
Enjoyed the lesson's and the beautiful video.
Love the video, I will share with my granddaughters, mother always said ," if you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything at all.
My mom always taught us to appreciate natural beauty. The whole family uses the term, "sunset alert" , to let everyone know to look at the sunset. I have a friend that always said to her kids, "be a blessing", when they were going out. I thought that was more meaningful than the often heard, " be good".
All very reasonable and ones l have lived with my whole lifetime!
To be your very best you, to be the one to give grace ,to take the high road, to think of your fellow man, will help you become a happier person. With what we have all witness these last couple of weeks on the news , we could all use a reminder that what you put out in the world your likely going to receive back. Just be kind. I will add two more to your list, stand up straight don't slouch and always wear clean underwear!!😊🍁
Thank you for sharing, I enjoyed all of it, stay safe and have a blessed day.
Linda , number 13 about being independent was the number one advice my Mom gave to all of her daughters ever since I could remember, and am I ever thankful I followed through on that !
You are a beautiful person Linda and I am so happy I found your RUclips channel!! Thank you for sharing the wonderful life lessons you have learned from your mother and own experiences. I really enjoyed the scenery as well 🌸 I also live in New England and absolutely love your home and taste in decorating. I share your pleasure in finding unique antique pieces at consignment shops, Craigslist or even the side of the road! LOL! Traditional New England living and decorating sings to my soul. I look forward to seeing more videos from you especially as we move towards spring! Your videos provide much enjoyment and inspiration!
one of the things that my dad always said was don't borrow trouble. we tend to do that all to much! thanks for the video! xoxo
My Grandmother always said cut your cloth according to your means. Drove me crazy as a kid but boy did i come to understand it as a young adult.
Your Mother was a very wise woman. Thanks for sharing. My Mom used to say many of these as well.
My mom was from MA and would often tell me not to get a fat head, particularly when I did something worthy of a compliment. I think about that to this day and try and try and remain humble. Loved this podcast/video!

You're mom sounds like my sweet mother.
I agree with your tips.
Love this. Just be the best person you can.
I truly enjoyed your video Linda, it's nice to be reminded of these things...
Linda I absolutely LOVE this !!!!! There was a few I personally needed to hear. God Bless
I loved this video and I feel so happy, calm and inspired! What great reminders and ideas for a better life.
I wrote these all down! I follow many but there are some I can add to my life and some I need to improve. Thank you for sharing! I had to laugh at your last one.

Thank you,

Linda, something about your voice is so calming and you are so inspiring! Keep doing what you're doing!
Thank you! I will keep trying to do so!
Sharing what you learned from your wonderful Mother is so great. I would love to see where you grew up. You have talked about the bottles and such that was found. 🔆
I loved this.

These were great and I have lived by many of them. My late aunt would say not to leave home without earrings. Lol!
Love, I have them all written down for my future reference. All very good!!!!!
I am currently eating my elephant one bite at a time! 🙂 I have been in this 23 square meter studio apartment in a retirement village for two and a half years, and finally am getting to purge and sort mainly work materials etc - a lot of switcheroos and reorganization, but I am starting to see the plate under the elephant -yay!!

@@newenglandfineliving you have become a friend to me! Love your honesty and open sharing - you being you! We need more of that in our world.....
I think one thing I might add to this - If there’s something that needs to be done, don’t procrastinate. Get up and do it. Never put off till tomorrow, what you can do today. Tomorrow will have its own things that need doing.

Ooooh number three is such a good one. I’m keeping this one.
Oh my gosh I loved this so much! I wrote them all down. Such wisdom. Thank you so much for this. I loved you talking and the way you filmed this👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I do most everything you have said . We must have very similar Mothers . I always put on my makeup even if I am staying home all day . You just feel better when you take care of yourself . My Mother always said always be kind to everyone and take the time to make them feel special. I am happiest when my home is clean and in order. So I never go without making my bed and making sure everything is neat and tidy. Guess I got that from my Mother also. I love breakfast for dinner because I am not a big breakfast eater but love all those foods. Great advice for sharing.
Great points - beautiful scenery
Excellent words of wisdom! Love your perspective!
My mom always said you catch more flies with honey than vinegar . It was the best thing I learned !
This is so inspiring!! Your mother was very wise!! Please do more like this.
I just finished this video, and related to it in so many ways. From 'be on time', 'be polite' to ''better to overdress than under dress and 'don't lie', so many of these life lessons are what I try to follow, and tried to share with my (now adult) children. I very much enjoyed listening to it, because in this crazy world the niceties of life are sometimes ignored or considered passe. Another that I follow is about drinking and driving; 'if you are driving, don't even have one. That way no mistakes can be made'. A very enjoyable 25 minutes!
Wonderful lessons ... Thanks for sharing them with us!
I absolutely loved this. Thank you.
Can't tell you how much I enjoyed and appreciated this video.

I could listen to you all day : )

Loved your video!!! Our mothers showed us through their love for us the many ways to live a good life. The other day my great grand daughter was playing and her mother went off to get her a toy she wanted and with her little soft voice she said thank you. She is only three years old. This really touched my heart. Continue to do your good work.
Yes thank you 💐
I enjoyed this, the thoughtful advice and the beautiful video.
