0:01
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 to teach
0:16
distinctions, possibilities, new ways of thinking, and just bring
0:20
some joy into the world. So welcome to the coop, and
0:23
let's start your day off in a fantastic way.
0:27
Hey everybody good. Morning.
0:29
We're actually in the flower garden this morning because
0:32
we've got some giant aliens coming up which are just
0:36
basically in the onion family. And what's really interesting is
0:42
I was under the impression that nothing would want to eat them
0:45
because they're onions. And research shows that
0:50
something, most things don't want to eat them.
0:52
But clearly I have something that likes onions, which is
0:56
fascinating to me and another thing that I'm learning from the
1:00
garden. I also had something that
1:02
tromped through here last night, broke off a huge piece of my
1:08
rose Bush. And that's also incredibly
1:11
frustrating because I'm like, Oh my gosh, I'm just getting this
1:14
thing to come up and now all of a sudden it's broken off.
1:19
So every night when you go to bed, you check things and every
1:23
morning you wake up, you check things because things happen
1:26
overnight. And it's incredible how many
1:30
things come out at night that you just don't even know you
1:32
live with. This is just another example of
1:36
how I believe our mindset is the same way.
1:39
We don't know the things we live with until they show up.
1:41
And then when they show up, we're like, oh, great here.
1:44
This is it's, it's just, it's exciting and madding at the same
1:50
time because now I have to go out there and I have to look and
1:54
say every morning, OK, what got destroyed?
1:56
What work did I do that's not going to work?
1:59
All of those little things. And I have to live with it
2:01
because there's no other way to deal with it.
2:04
I mean, I live in the country. I want a farm.
2:06
This is what I have to deal with.
2:08
The mindset behind that has to be that I'm excited about it, or
2:12
I'm curious about it, or I'm going to work with it.
2:14
Because if not, then I'm doing myself a wild disservice by just
2:19
letting myself think that everything is going to be
2:21
perfect all the time. And for my certainty, girl,
2:24
that's a really big deal. I have to admit.
2:27
It's a really big deal because I have to learn to live with the
2:30
uncertainty of what's going on. And it's a lot, my friends, it's
2:34
a lot. Every night you think
2:36
everything's good. Every morning you come out and
2:39
something else is weird off. Like, you know, I have a duck
2:44
who's here, a wild duck who's sitting on eggs, and she's
2:48
really just on a hill going down to the pond.
2:52
Is she smart for where she chose it for the ducklings?
2:54
Sure is. It's like right there.
2:57
It's like, right. Like she could take maybe 4
3:00
steps and she could drop right into the water for the baby
3:03
ducks. But she's completely exposed.
3:06
And I wouldn't even have seen her if Mark hadn't spotted her
3:09
and pointed her out to me because she's so blending in.
3:12
And I think, wow, how could she just be so exposed like that?
3:16
But then I think, wow, how smart is she to choose it right next
3:19
to the water for the babies if something comes?
3:22
Because basically we don't have any alligators in our ponds.
3:25
We don't have things like that that are going to go after the
3:28
babies once they're born. Prior to being born, though.
3:31
That's a very dangerous spot. The dog walks through there a
3:37
lot. Lucy is always in there and my
3:40
little dog is always in there because I think she anticipates
3:44
finding a rodent of some sort, which she loves to do.
3:47
And not to mention there are raccoons everywhere.
3:52
So we are always like trying to make sure everything is safe.
3:56
But again, I have to let go of that.
3:58
And I have to say, OK, this is just, this is what I'm learning.
4:02
This is what I'm doing. This is how I'm, I'm, I'm, you
4:06
know, progressing in my own journey by letting go and seeing
4:10
what happens in letting nature do its thing.
4:13
So right now that's what I'm attempting to do.
4:15
I'm attempting to let nature do its thing and curious as to what
4:20
the hell is eating onions because that's usually like a
4:23
human thing and not an animal thing.
4:26
And it just befuddles me as to what would eat the tops of them.
4:31
Now I'm hoping, I'm hoping that they're all going to come up.
4:34
Because if you look up giant alien, it's ALLIUM, you will see
4:40
the most beautiful ball of a flower that is just stunning.
4:43
And I'm really working towards making my my focus like the
4:48
Doctor Seuss type flowers and looking at all the beautiful
4:51
stuff that could come in that way.
4:53
And just, you know, intoxicating, different looking
4:57
things and they are spectacular. So I'm hoping, I'm really hoping
5:04
that it it did not destroy the the buds that would be coming
5:08
up. Some of the green tips are eaten
5:11
off. So I'm hoping that it got a
5:12
taste of it and was like, yuck, let's move on.
5:15
But again, this is the thing, my friends, what comes out at night
5:19
is different than what comes out during the day.
5:21
And we have to remember that even with our own mindsets, we
5:24
have to say, OK, what's coming out that's really bothering me
5:28
and how do I need to handle that?
5:29
Because boy, oh boy, that is a big, big thing.
5:33
And I promise when you look at it, you will be, you know, able
5:37
to fix more of it when you know what's there.
5:40
All right, my friends, I hope you have a blessed day.
5:42
I'm going to go fix my rose Bush now, and I will see you soon.
5:45
Bye.
