You’ve gotta love Tevo! As a solo entrepreneur and one who works from home, I’ve made it a policy to watch my two favorite daytime shows (Anderson Cooper and Ellen) at night. With the magic of Tevo, I can preview, watch or delete with one click on the remote. This is so cool, easy and efficient. Each of the two shows have their set format, however, I especially enjoy Ellen’s monologue. It amazes me how she keeps so current and creative, so timely and spontaneous. I don’t think there’s ever a subject she can’t handle from croutons made from stale bread, to the annoyance of car horn blowers, to her opinion of The Bachelor – she’s right there with her take, her humor and comments! Ellen makes me laugh. And, of course, I’m not sure which offers more enjoyment – watching Ellen dance or audience participants shimming and shaking! In a world filled with painful news, it’s refreshing to sit back, even for just an hour or two and be entertained.
And then, there’s her ending. While, I think every show host has his or her own way of ending their segment, only one comes to mind. It’s Ellen’s. Consistently, her last sentence for every episode is: Be Kind to One Another. So simple. So powerful. So meaningful. Just be kind. I love that. And, I love her reminder. Hold a door open for the person entering behind you. Smile. Express gratitude. Provide a compliment. Remember birthdays. Whatever you can do to lighten someone’s load, brighten someone’s day, all it takes is a moment of kindness. You don’t have to watch Ellen’s show to remember to be kind. Let this message be your reminder. Be kind to one another. Today. Every day.
