How to Get the Big Tiny House Life with Dee Williams – SASM 057
Bask, I say. Bask away.
Immerse yourself in Dee Williams' world and you'll get much more than tips on how or why to build a tiny house.
You'll find heaping helpings of gratitude. You'll be swimming in a pool of humility. You'll learn what it means to be a true member of a small community … and how generosity flows back and forth among friends.
I met her in-person at World Domination Summit 2014 and, let me tell you, she's a motivational force for good. Fortunately, I got to tell the story at the end of this episode of how Dee motivated me to help her hitch her 56 sq. ft. “retirement home” to her truck.
Unsurprisingly, she was grateful (and so was her dog, Ole).
For the record, Dee is the founder of Portland Alternative Dwellings, the author of the popular The Big Tiny, has been featured in The New York Times and CBS This Morning, and knows a good pair of overall when she sees one.
You'll hear some common themes from Dee with a lot of uncommon wisdom. For example:
It's very easy to stop seeing the beauty and adventure in the simple things. Writing a book was a reintroduction to these simple things that I love so much. – Dee Williams
It was a real gift to be able to see my life with a texture and a depth that I don't really think I understood before I was diagnosed with congestive heart failure. – Dee Williams
And two more …
We have huge appetites for stuff … that we never actually use. – Dee Williams
There's nothing like hanging out with kids to make you rearrange your brain and slow down. You don't have any option around it. It's same with nature. – Dee Williams
