- 0:29Good morning from the Chili chicken coop.
- 0:32It is cold down here today, fact half the girls are outside and
- 0:36half of them are still in bed up.
- 0:38Top just staring at me while we're doing this.
- 0:41Okay, so today, what have I learned from doing the last 200
- 0:47episodes of this? Today is number 200.
- 0:50Oh my gosh, I cannot believe we're at number two.
- 0:52Hundred seems like we just started this but I thought I'd
- 0:56share with you some of my thoughts on what I've learned
- 0:59over the course. Of doing this, you know, for the
- 1:02last 200 episodes because it was, it was started out as
- 1:06something that I thought I would just give it a try and see how
- 1:09it went and I had didn't even know if I was going to put it up
- 1:12when I started it. I just said.
- 1:14All right, I'll shoot some episodes.
- 1:15I'll see how it goes. And as I went on with this, you
- 1:20know, five minutes a day, five minutes a day.
- 1:23Well, maybe sometimes I go a little longer.
- 1:25Maybe we'll say seven or eight but mostly five minutes a day.
- 1:29And in that Five minutes. It has taught me.
- 1:32So incredibly much about myself about my chickens.
- 1:37About what I know the depth of my knowledge, how 5 minutes a
- 1:43day can help people gosh. It is brought so many gifts to
- 1:47me over and over and over and over.
- 1:49I think one of the biggest things that I am shocked about
- 1:52regularly is how often I hear from people sending me messages.
- 1:59Through our website or just finding us on Facebook and
- 2:05sending us messages about how much these podcasts have meant
- 2:10to them, because it's so quick and it's so helpful.
- 2:13And they love the fact that they can hear the chickens in the
- 2:16background because they grew up with chickens out on their,
- 2:18grandparents Farm, or they've always wanted chickens or, you
- 2:22know, whatever it might be. But the truth is, you just don't
- 2:26realize how much little Tiny bits can help other people and
- 2:32you know this was a really different idea compared to what
- 2:36my peers are doing out there and I figured I would give it a shot
- 2:41and it has paid off in it just so wildly for me emotionally
- 2:47because I realized that I can share so much with all of you in
- 2:51such a little bit of a time, every single day and the lesson
- 2:56to share with you guys in that is, please don't.
- 2:58Limit Yourself by thinking that something that you have to do is
- 3:02Grand focus on the fact that the small things matter, focus on
- 3:06the fact that the little tiny things that you do for people,
- 3:10the thank yous. They will sticky.
- 3:12Note that says, I appreciate your help.
- 3:15The flower is that you might drop off for somebody just the
- 3:20smallest of small things matter, whether it's to your spouse,
- 3:24your partner's, your children, your clients All those little
- 3:29things matter and it doesn't take a lot of effort.
- 3:33This this is effortless to me because I love doing it.
- 3:37And when you really love sharing and you love giving as we come
- 3:40into this season of gratitude, no matter what you believe, or
- 3:44what you practice, in that sense of the world of spirituality or
- 3:49religion, or anything else, I mean Thanksgiving is coming up
- 3:53and it's all about gratitude, and if you are focused on
- 3:58Looking at the world through the lens of saying gosh I can just
- 4:03go and give a little tiny bit and watch how it transforms
- 4:06people. I promise you you will not be
- 4:09sorry for your effort that you're putting in.
- 4:11You will not be sorry because I can't begin to tell you how
- 4:15excited I am to do the next 200 episodes and then another 200
- 4:18episodes. Because everyday, I find things
- 4:21that I could share with you guys.
- 4:23As I talk to my clients, as I study myself, continuously as I
- 4:27bring for things. I love it and the chickens that
- 4:31mean gosh, they teach me so much about, you know, just themselves
- 4:35and how things go. Like think it's very funny.
- 4:37Like even today, I fit here, and I'm like, okay, it's chillier.
- 4:41And if it's Saturday, when I'm putting this up and they're
- 4:47like, kicking back and they're taking the day off, they're not
- 4:49all out there early. Whereas during the week, they're
- 4:52like audit and I laugh that even the chickens take a break.
- 4:56So all the little tiny things that this This is brought to me,
- 4:59I think the biggest one is that, that the small steps?
- 5:03I've always known it. I've always professed it.
- 5:05I've always worked it, but this one really resided with me.
- 5:08In a big way, the teeniest tiniest things makes such a big
- 5:11difference. And and I will also say this
- 5:15that you never know where you're touching somebody and where they
- 5:19are in their lives, and how your little gesture could just be the
- 5:23one thing that that person needs to hear the one, the one touch
- 5:27point. So I'm going to challenge you to
- 5:29do the tiny things. I know I've said it before, but
- 5:32I'm going to say it again. Go do some tiny things for
- 5:35people. Don't make somebody feel good
- 5:37today. And I hope you feel good today
- 5:39because not only do I appreciate you.
- 5:41Not only do I love doing this for all of you?
- 5:45I I just I can't express enough gratitude to all of you for
- 5:50showing up and consistently coming back and listening, more,
- 5:55tiny things, are to come as we get ready to put Put up stuff on
- 5:59the YouTube channel so you can actually see the chickens and
- 6:02everything else. I appreciate all of you and I
- 6:06appreciate your love and your conviction to keep sharing with
- 6:10us. So I hope you all have a blessed
- 6:12day and I will see you tomorrow for 2015.
