  Good morning from the chicken coop today.
• 0:30
  I want to talk to you about magic moments.
• 0:33
  So what exactly is a Magic Moment by my definition?
• 0:36
  Well I'm sure you must have yours but I'm going to give you
• 0:38
  mine, which is also a shared learning that I got from Miss,
• 0:43
  Becky Robbins. And there's my time that I spent
• 0:47
  over there with Tony Robbins. The first concept I ever heard
• 0:52
  of this was Tony and Becky talking about making magic
• 0:55
  moments with people that you love and they were using it in
• 0:59
  reference to children and how you create these special times
• 1:05
  with them so that they will always have this as part of, you
• 1:08
  know, they're their memories, you know, because it's so, it's
• 1:11
  not about what you give them. It's about how you make those
• 1:14
  moments with them in the process.
• 1:16
  So I thought about this and I was like, gosh, you know what my
• 1:20
  Did this with me, they were never special words or we never
• 1:23
  had a label for it as magic moments.
• 1:25
  But for sure, we had those things, because my dad used to
• 1:28
  work in different jobs that kept him away for extended periods of
• 1:34
  time. You know, overnight shifts,
• 1:37
  things like that. And one of the things that I
• 1:40
  distinctly remember is waking up in the morning and always having
• 1:43
  this little brown bag at the bottom of the bed, and in this
• 1:46
  little brown bag would be something that he would bring
• 1:48
  back to me. Now, it wasn't about the thing.
• 1:50
  So let me be very clear about that.
• 1:51
  It was just the fact that I knew he had thought of me.
• 1:54
  Because the bag was sitting there.
• 1:56
  And in fact, one of the times that I open the bag, there was a
• 1:59
  bust of John F Kennedy in there. And I remember, looking at the
• 2:03
  bottom of it, and it was something that he got from a
• 2:06
  place called Cumberland Farms, which is an East Coast
• 2:09
  convenience store and I laughed because I thought, oh my gosh,
• 2:13
  you know, how cute is this little thing?
• 2:15
  And I was probably, like, 6 or 7 years old and I kept that thing
• 2:19
  forever. And it was It meant so much to
• 2:21
  me and it wasn't the fact that it was JFK.
• 2:24
  It was the fact that it was just a gift from him.
• 2:28
  And it was a moment where he would remember me and he would
• 2:31
  put something on the, on the end of the bed because he left
• 2:35
  before I woke up, or he came in, you know, did a quick turnaround
• 2:38
  and then left and those are magic moments as the as I knew
• 2:43
  them to grow up. But you know, I cultivated those
• 2:46
  over the years with my daughter and now with my son and And my
• 2:50
  daughter still talks about them. Where I would just be pick her
• 2:53
  up from school and I would say, guess what?
• 2:55
  Today is a random day and today is going to be a Magic Moment
• 2:59
  day and we're going to have ice cream for dinner and we would
• 3:03
  literally go have big giant Sundays for dinner.
• 3:06
  Nothing else. Just big giant Sundays and she
• 3:09
  still to this day talks about the fact that we did those
• 3:12
  things and I love that because it wasn't about the big trip.
• 3:16
  It wasn't about doing all these things that were so You know,
• 3:21
  planned out as much as they were, just those like, having
• 3:25
  real genuine fun, or having something that you can just
• 3:29
  create as a moment with somebody else.
• 3:32
  And I think this is where you can really hone in and make
• 3:35
  people feel special because if you know what's important to
• 3:39
  them, if you understand what their makes them tick, which
• 3:43
  everybody wants to be seen, everybody wants to be seen
• 3:47
  myself, included, everyone wants to feel acknowledged and he
• 3:50
  wants to feel like, hey, you get me.
• 3:53
  So when you create a Magic Moment around what that person
• 3:55
  may need or want you are 10 times and you're making it even
• 4:00
  more profound because you took the time to figure this piece
• 4:03
  out. So I'm going to encourage you to
• 4:06
  look around you and I don't care if it's someone in your office,
• 4:09
  I don't care. If it's somebody that, you know,
• 4:12
  you works for you or with you, I don't care if it's you just
• 4:16
  making muffins and showing up at the office and saying, hey, I
• 4:19
  made gluten-free It's for everybody in here today because
• 4:22
  somebody here is gluten-free, that's going to mean the world
• 4:24
  to that person and it's going to make them feel seen and matter.
• 4:29
  And isn't that what it's all about?
• 4:30
  Everybody wants to feel like they matter again?
• 4:33
  I know I keep saying it but it really is the key.
• 4:36
  And when you start to look at people who are closer to you,
• 4:40
  like your significant others, your children, your parents,
• 4:46
  there is something to be said for the fact that those moments
• 4:50
  hang with you. And I can remember making those
• 4:54
  moments with my grandmother because she liked to have her
• 4:56
  nails painted, but she didn't like the paint them.
• 4:58
  And I would sit with her when I was in high school and she was
• 5:02
  still well at that time. And I would sit with her and I
• 5:05
  would paint her nails. And she would always say to me.
• 5:08
  Oh, this feels so wonderful to have, you sit here with me and
• 5:11
  do this, and it means so much to me.
• 5:13
  And I never understood at the time how much it meant to her,
• 5:15
  until she was gone. So, in light of the world and
• 5:19
  the way that it is How quickly things fly by?
• 5:22
  I'm going to remind you to create some magic moments.
• 5:25
  Think about some people that are special to you make a list and
• 5:29
  just say these are people that are special to me and how can I
• 5:31
  create magic moments for them? Even if it's writing a sticky
• 5:35
  note that says I love you and leaving it for them.
• 5:37
  Even if it's something simple it doesn't have to cost money.
• 5:41
  It doesn't have to be a big thing.
• 5:43
  It has to be genuine and thought out.
• 5:46
  So I'm going to encourage you to find those people that you can
• 5:48
  do that with. Because what?
• 5:50
  Way to start off the week, right?
• 5:52
  Dive in and do it. So I hope you guys have a
• 5:54
  blessed day and I will see you all tomorrow.
• 5:58
  Bye.
