  Hey everybody, welcome to the good morning from the Chicken
• 0:04
  Coop podcast. My name is Kim Johnson and I am
• 0:07
  a mastermindset coach, creative strategist, and also happened to
• 0:10
  be a farmer. This is my Chicken coop and I
• 0:12
  come out here every day to record a podcast.
• 0:15
  To. Teach distinctions,
• 0:17
  possibilities, new ways of thinking, and just bring some
• 0:20
  joy into the world. So welcome to the coop and let's
• 0:23
  start your day off in a fantastic way.
• 0:27
  Hey everybody, good morning. So today is a very, very
• 0:31
  different day for me because I am actually getting ready to go
• 0:36
  away for a couple days. Just a quick trip out and take
• 0:40
  off to go to the Philadelphia Flower Show.
• 0:44
  And I say this and I'm just grinning from ear to ear because
• 0:48
  my son and I are going to take off and go out there and, you
• 0:53
  know, jump into Philadelphia and go to the Flower Show for a
• 0:56
  couple days. Now you may be saying like, OK,
• 0:59
  you guys all know I love flowers and I love plants and all of
• 1:02
  this. But this Flower Show happens to
• 1:04
  be one of the biggest flower shows in the US.
• 1:07
  It's the oldest Flower Show. It I think it is the biggest
• 1:11
  Flower Show in the US, not one of it is the biggest one.
• 1:15
  Not to mention that it has, you know, these displays that are
• 1:21
  supposed to be epic and, you know, just extraordinary from
• 1:26
  all these different designers all over the world.
• 1:28
  It's landscaping as well. So it's going to be something to
• 1:32
  behold. And it has always been on my
• 1:35
  list, a bucket list. If you want to say to do these
• 1:39
  things, hit this Flower Show, the Chelsea Flower Show in
• 1:42
  London or in England and just try to take in as much of this,
• 1:49
  you know, this other world as I possibly can.
• 1:53
  Like recently I have been invited to join the Charleston
• 1:58
  Flower Flower Club and Garden Club, rather sorry.
• 2:02
  And I'm so excited about doing these things because it gives me
• 2:07
  a different perspective from somebody elses point of view.
• 2:11
  And I think when you go to these, whether it's like a home
• 2:13
  show, a designer show, when you start to see things from other
• 2:18
  people's perspective, it expands your creativity.
• 2:21
  So part of the reason that I love to go do these things is
• 2:25
  because it gives you different angles from different artists
• 2:29
  and it just it kind of puts you in this just a totally different
• 2:34
  feeling for what's going on around you.
• 2:38
  Now this one is supposed to be overwhelmingly big and that's
• 2:43
  one of the things that I'm actually very excited about
• 2:45
  because if it's as big as they say it is and it's supposed to
• 2:48
  be as you know, as how do I say it as overwhelming probably is
• 2:54
  the right word. I've heard it can be
• 2:56
  overwhelming. It takes a lot of time to walk
• 2:58
  through it. And I am not going this is crazy
• 3:02
  with another like flower person. I'm going with my son, which
• 3:07
  makes it even more fun for me because he wanted to come with
• 3:11
  me. He was like I asked him, I said
• 3:12
  would you want to go? And he said I would love to go.
• 3:15
  Now mind you, my son is 17. How many 17 year old boys want
• 3:19
  to go to a Flower Show for a weekend with their mother?
• 3:23
  And I was just so stunned. I was like wow, OK, this is
• 3:26
  going to be unbelievable for me. So not only am I getting to go
• 3:31
  and just take off and have a good time at the Flower Show,
• 3:35
  I'm getting to do it with someone that's so special to me.
• 3:39
  So this morning while I'm talking to you, I'm putting my
• 3:42
  final things in my luggage. I'm getting ready.
• 3:45
  I'll wake him up soon and by this afternoon, we'll be in
• 3:49
  Philly. Now, what that means is I won't
• 3:52
  be putting up a podcast probably until Monday.
• 3:56
  So I'm going to skip a couple days because I'm not taking any
• 3:59
  electronics with me except photography equipment and video
• 4:03
  equipment. I've made the decision to just
• 4:06
  like disconnect and that's very hard for me to do, but I'm doing
• 4:11
  it. I'm going to be like, OK, no, we
• 4:13
  can skip a couple days and we will most likely be back on
• 4:16
  Monday. I may do it Sunday because I
• 4:18
  come back early. Haven't quite decided yet.
• 4:20
  But what I do know is that. I'm going.
• 4:23
  To do this as also a lesson for everybody else out there
• 4:26
  listening. If you have one of these moments
• 4:29
  that you really want to do and you really want to like pour
• 4:33
  into yourself, do it. Don't hesitate, don't I?
• 4:37
  I, I found myself sitting there in the beginning when I was
• 4:40
  saying, oh, I want to go do this.
• 4:41
  I was actually like thinking to myself, oh, do I really want to
• 4:45
  do this? You know, oh, I should probably
• 4:47
  stay home. Oh, it's this or that.
• 4:49
  And then I was like, what am I doing?
• 4:51
  No, I'm going, I'm going to go, I'm going to go and I'm going to
• 4:54
  have fun and I'm going to enjoy myself because what better way
• 4:57
  to do it than to just go and have fun with your kid?
• 5:01
  For crying out loud, I'm going to go have fun with my kid and
• 5:05
  it it's going to be one of those times where I can say handedly I
• 5:11
  got to do something different with him that it, it will, it
• 5:14
  will will remember it for a lifetime.
• 5:16
  It will be one of those things. So I encourage you to think
• 5:20
  about where your spots are for that.
• 5:22
  Where are the things that you could do that are similar to
• 5:25
  that? Where are the things that you,
• 5:27
  and I'm not saying you have to take a trip to do it.
• 5:28
  What I'm saying is just think about those things because I
• 5:31
  promise you they will make you feel extraordinary when you do
• 5:35
  them. And I am so excited right now
• 5:37
  packing. So I'm going to get back to it
• 5:40
  and I'm going to see you guys then.
• 5:42
  And I hope you have a blessed weekend and I will see you most
• 5:47
  likely on Monday, but maybe Sunday.
• 5:49
  All right, take care. See you soon.
• 5:51
  Bye.
