💗GratiTuesday 💗 Share/comment with what you

💗GratiTuesday 💗

Share/comment with what you are grateful for today!

My first born turns 11yrs old this week- fun fact she weighed over 11lbs at birth.

Viviana Sofia gifted me with motherhood and has shown more maturity and grace this past year than many adults. She has not once complained about not being able to attend school in person. Or participate in activities or see friends. Let me repeat- this kid has never since the start of Covid had a single moment of complaining or whining about the situation she has been put in. She has expressed sadness in not seeing friends but there has been nothing but 100% acceptance of the facts of the moment and she has made the most out of this year. I am honored to have her as a teacher in grace and mindset. This girl has had to watch others mock Covid safety- as close as to her face as it comes- she has witnessed adults connected to her life have ZERO regard for the serious health risks that Covid presents for her and put their own desires for a mask free lifestyle above her ability to stay safe- even after she spent 4 days in the hospital after a tiny virus triggered a severe asthma attack. That is a lot for a child to have to process but she did. And she never once turned to anger but instead understood what she can control in the situation and trust her mom and dad to keep her safe and able to still be a kid.

Her favorite book is ‘Becoming', by Michelle Obama
She was gifted a baby goat to keep and raise for her birthday last year and had to hold her sweet Sunny tight as he screamed in pain as we performed emergency surgery to save his life and then to have to say goodbye and put him down. She woke up twice each night for a month to bottle feed baby goats, nursed one back to health after everyone thought he wouldn’t make it- sleeping with the tiny runt of the litter- his head on the pillow next to her, snuggled under the covers. Then on her own, drained fluid from around the lungs and heart of 3 baby chicks who got injured during camp- they all survived.

She is whom I am grateful for and wish her the happiest of birthdays this week.

🍃Mindfulness Monday🍃 Known. Loved. Seen.

🍃Mindfulness Monday🍃

Known. Loved.

Seen. Heard.

Understood. Valued.

Safe. Wanted.

It’s so easy to focus on what we can’t do for ourselves and others. I gently challenge you this week to focus instead on what you can do. Pick one or more of the words above and transform it to action.

Whether on social media, in virtual or in person events, the aisles of Costco or at the gas station (I don’t go many places these days), I make it a priority to never miss a chance to make someone feel seen. I never want anyone to cross my path and feel invisible or not worthy of my smile or time.

It’s not hard. It doesn’t have to cost you a dime or time.

It’s eye contact and a smile. It’s holding a door. It’s giving a genuine and specific compliment about something unique to that person- their laugh, smile, voice.

The term influencer is used a lot in social media- but we often forget that we are all influencers every time we interact with another person.

Please, please don’t waste an opportunity to make someone feel seen. To make those in your life feel in their heart that they are known. And because of that- they are loved.

The after show post... share your photos, comments

The after show post... share your photos, comments and let me know how you enjoyed the show!

Saffron buttered naan... I will share it with my family because I do love them dearly but I’m enjoying the first bite.

Thank you all who show up each week. Because weather is warming and I have a tremendous amount of work to do before BMK reopens to on-site camps and workshops in June, I will be doing these free shows probably monthly.

I am loving being able to work with corporations and organizations- increasing connection in the workforce through my virtual workshops that blend cooking with story telling, humor and vulnerability. I hope to create a TV show that takes what I do for organizations and makes it available to the public. I also cannot wait to travel again for speaking engagements and hopefully meet you all in person! But for now- I’m hustling outside to get in timber work before the sun sets!

I’ll see you all soon.

It’s starting... the greening of spring...each week I’ll post a new pic as nature gives HGTV a run for its money for amazing transformations.

What’s also starting is the feeling of overwhelm as summer approaches and the immense amount of work and cost required to prepare for weekly camps and workshops seems to multiply by the hour. Time for deep breaths and trusting that things will be okay. Who else needs a deep breath after this week? 🙋‍♀️

Tomorrow is the virtual naan cooking show. Can’t wait to see you all! (Join on zoom via beckysmindfulkitchen.com or watch on my FB page).

Mindset vs Skill Set A wonderful friend @itsjulek

Mindset vs Skill Set

A wonderful friend @itsjulekim posed this question the other day- which one comes first/ which one matters most.

I couldn’t help but think of Smokey Joe who has the mindset but has been lacking the skill set as he continues to fall off Dusty- providing us with nonstop and much needed levity.

I’m still a fan of mindset first but Smokey has given me something to think on.

What say you? Mindset or Skill Set- which matters most to you right now?

YOU GUYS!!! I just found out taxes aren’t due until May this year. How did I not know this??!!

For someone who procrastinates (ADHD for me means that the pressure of a deadline is the only way I can force myself to do something I dread like taxes)- getting the gift of another month to procrastinate is like Christmas morning.

Fellow Procrastinators Unite!

❤️GratiTuesday❤️

I’m sticking with this because I love the power of gratitude. Share your own in the comments or not- zero pressure.

I am grateful for good quality work gloves as I pull multiflora rose, thorny lucust and more as we spend countless hours prepping BMK for a return of on-site classes and camps. The hours of work required for the property to look like it does can feel intimidating- but I love good hard work in the timber. And muck boots- oh my darling muck boots- I live in them and spent all weekend in muddy creek beds and my feet were bone dry.

Happy GratiTuesday my friends!

Mindfulness Monday

Don’t forget that you have the ability to Pull To Refresh your energy whenever you need to during your day. (See my FB post today for why I’m needing the reset)

Hitting that reset button- (or for some- pulling to refresh makes more sense) is an essential mindfulness tool.

For me, resetting tonight meant sitting with the goats, watching the love story between Smokey Joe and Dusty evolve (I’ll start posting excerpts from the soon to be hit goat romance novel soon), snuggling with my Luna baby, getting covered in kisses and just laughing soul cleansing laughs.

Take care of yourself tonight. I see and appreciate you and hope you find a reason to smile.

Tomorrow is a zero post day for me but I’ll be busy tonight hiding eggs (not these- these are eatin’ eggs!) throughout the woods for the girls to find in the morning. I can’t wait to have BMK egg hunts next year for those local!

Enjoy your people and peeps tomorrow. Thank you to the 1k people who showed up on a holiday weekend morning to make donuts- view the video on FB to make Easter morning donuts!

Naan bread is next weekend!

DoNut forget to post/tag your donut photos! (I’ll give you a moment to stop laughing at my amazing pun)

No reason to cry over spilt sprinkles when you have donuts to eat while cleaning up!

I can’t wait to see your photos- make sure to let me know what flavor you made AND what you want added to the schedule.

If you are making these for Easter morning breakfast tomorrow then simply add your photos then.

The show can be viewed on demand on the videos section of my FB page.

Thank you for showing up and if you want me to show up at your virtual events to cook, speak, lead workshops on various topics- then simply message me to chat more!

Happy eating my friends.
