Are you on team “Regrets” or “No Regrets”?

Are you on team “Regrets” or “No Regrets”?

Listen, I’m the first to say that failure and mistakes can lead to the greatest of successes and life lessons.

But I also believe that there are times where regret does have a place.

Such as eating an entire package of dried seaweed without anything to drink, immediately before having to put on your mask. And then burping.

That decision I do regret. I have also done it before. So I can’t say that it resulted in a learned lesson.

I want to hear from you- where do you land on regret?

💗GratiTuesday💗 Last week during Sabina’s

💗GratiTuesday💗

Last week during Sabina’s labor, I got to witness the amazing connection of animals as Amelia stayed by her side the entire time. She would position herself to provide Sabina physical support during contractions and when Sabina needed to rest, Amelia would lay next to her. She didn’t make a sound the entire time and she is a vocal goat!

I am so grateful for the reminder that connection and support doesn’t require words. Simply being there can be enough.

Mindfulness Monday Have you been told this befor

Mindfulness Monday

Have you been told this before?

“You aren’t everyone’s cup of tea.”

A friend, whom I respect and adore, made that comment recently to me.

In the past, I would have immediately concluded that meant I needed to open a tea superstore to satisfy all tea preferences, because gosh darn-I needed to be liked by everyone.

Not anymore. Why?

Because not everyone likes tea.

I could juggle monkeys while feeding baby goats and making it rain money and STILL some people will not like tea.

So don’t waste any time or energy on monkey juggling. It won’t end well- trust me.

Give your energy to those who love sipping on your blend of tea, coffee or heck- bourbon.

Don’t dilute what makes you unique and special- all that will succeed in doing in devaluing what you have to offer. I’m a mindful misfit and proud of it!

⬅️Swipe to see all pics!

Happy Friday to all my Schitt’s Creek Fans!

I thought it was time to repost some of the favorite photos from my BMK series this fall- the recasting of Schitt’s Creek. Never seen the show? Still swipe. Enjoy.

This series never reached anyone from the show- potentially a good thing as perhaps not everyone enjoys being compared to a farm animal....

Know a fan? Tag ‘em. Have a favorite pic? Let me know!

Tomorrow, get ready for some serious baby goat cuteness.
Would daily goat reels be a bad thing? Asking for a friend.

It’s Friday. Have some fun- Becky’s orders.

Are you afraid of discomfort? Preferring to stay

Are you afraid of discomfort?

Preferring to stay in comfort instead?

I’ll let you in on a secret.

That sign in the photo? That’s a source of daily discomfort for me.

Saying “Don’t be afraid to take Whisks”, in front of groups brings me great anxiety.

Why?

Because when I was a kid, I pronounced my R’s as W’s.
(Rebecca Russo was a rough name to have!)

Speech therapy helped, but I still have to consciously be aware to not let a W slip, especially when tired.

I believe growth happens in the discomfort. Everyday when I head into BMK, I see that sign and am reminded of just that. Every time I say it, I feel my stomach flip flop and seize up all at the same time- my brain does a hot panic lap screaming “R not W!!”, but I force out the W.

Don’t get too comfortable in being comfortable. Embrace the discomfort. Grow in the discomfort.

Take those Whisks!!

🐐💗 It’s GratiTuesday Time! It’s corny.

🐐💗 It’s GratiTuesday Time!

It’s corny. It’s cheesy. It’s here to stay.

My gratitude today is not just for the adorable snuggly baby goats. Nor is it for being able to watch 1 day old babies learn to hop around the woods (yes there will be a video tomorrow).

I am grateful for the reminder to appreciate the moments when everything goes right.

I have had harrowing births in the past- where the life of the mother and baby were in my hands. I have had tiny darling baby goats die in my arms after spending endless hours trying to keep them alive. I have wrapped my body around a mother goat to keep her warm after she has gone into shock due to blood loss. I have walked back to the house exhausted and in grief, struggling to meet the eyes of my children, having to tell them that their favorite baby wasn’t going to make it.

You do this long enough, you witness a lot of tragedy.

So when things go right. When babies are healthy. And mom is doing great.

I pause. I give thanks. And I don’t let the beauty of the moment go unrecognized or unappreciated.

Give the good moments as much power as the negative.

I can’t wait to see your BBQ pics! Over 200 fr

I can’t wait to see your BBQ pics!

Over 200 free online classes since March 2020 and I ended it with the smallest zoom and FB audience ever with only around 400 people joining.

No- that’s a total lie. Funny how quickly we lose perspective of where we started on our journey...

Because I started these online shows with only 30 people total joining. Then it grew to 100 and I was floored. Then in January when we hit 5k, I was in shock. It all grew by word of mouth only- and that is something I treasure.

400 people felt so small today. But less than a year ago I would have seen that as a huge reach.

I didn’t start using social media like I do now until this past fall. It’s so easy to get caught up in the number of “likes” and “follows”. To see a number drop and worry that it means that by tomorrow you will have no one left and that your message is worthless, as are you. Sound extreme? If so, you probably don’t depend on social media for business growth/ marketing.

It takes work to stay grounded in what matters. To keep perspective.

To remember the one negative comment doesn’t get to erase the hundreds of positive ones that came before.

It takes work to remember to appreciate the beauty in the valleys and not just stare longingly at the next peak.

I didn’t plan on ending on BBQ sauce, I could have chosen a more popular recipe to feed my ego. But I decided that I needed to reinvest the 20-30 hours/week that these free classes took up, on getting BMK ready to scale that next peak, fully grounded and rested. (Okay- we know the rested part is figurative only)

Today, I had simply the best time with those who joined me. I may not be holding full free classes for awhile but you bet your BBQ sauce that I’m still going to pop up live randomly, post daily and be here for those who need me.

BABY GOATS WILL BE BORN ANY HOUR NOW!!! So don’t you unfollow before enjoying that cuteness!

Behind the scenes at BMK... I didn’t go out wit

Behind the scenes at BMK...

I didn’t go out with the intention of posting a photo of Smokey Joe trying to eat my insulin pump tubing. I had a plan for a happy goat pic and reminder to join on zoom (DM me for link) or FB live tomorrow at 3pm CT to learn how to create your own signature BBQ with me.

But then this happened as the photo was taken.

I also got a happy goat pic.

I looked at them both and thought about tomorrow being the last free live class of the season.

I knew which one I had to post. I know that if I had taken this photo right before going live, I would have told you all about it- laughing and cracking jokes with you about how my face looked like a constipated angry badger.

So here you go. Real life. The one thing you know you will get on this page.

An excerpt from my unpublished, untitled, unwritte

An excerpt from my unpublished, untitled, unwritten book of deepish thoughts...

Don’t make accusations that you cannot back with facts.

Because it may not be that your husband forgot to turn off the lights, but instead that Smokey Joe turned them back on.

Don’t lie! Have you this week done one of the

Don’t lie!

Have you this week done one of the following?

1) Deflected a compliment instead of just saying “thank you”.

2) Said “I’m sorry” for something not worthy of the power of those words.

If so- comment with #1 or #2 or both, adding details is up to you.

Why? Because the first step in making mindset shifts is Awareness.

Then take Perspective out for a spin.

Do you find joy in complimenting others? Betcha do. So don’t deny someone the joy of complimenting you. You are worthy of that compliment. Take it. Accept it.

“I’m sorry” is a statement that deserves to not be diluted with overuse. If you apologize for everything and anything- when you really need to say “I’m sorry”, will it have the impact you need from it?

So think back on the week. And try on that sexy cape of vulnerability and show others that they aren’t alone in doing #1 or #2- and yes, yes indeed, I am aware of how that reads.

You guys- and gals- Sunday is the last free online show of the season- you are learning how to make your own signature BBQ sauce. It’s family friendly so show up with the kids on screen too.

Don’t leave me hanging. I want your face there. I want your favorite BBQ stories. I want there to be laughter. Link is in my IG bio or go to beckysmindfulkitchen.com. Join on zoom or watch live or on demand on my FB page!
