If you would have told me 3 years ago that my husband would RANDOMLY walk in my house and tell me “I put in my notice at work” I would have hysterically laughed at you. NO WAY JOSE.
He loved his job. It wasn’t about the money for us.
It’s really fun to get to be together as a family. It’s a lot crazier around here than before because we have so much more collateral to handle more, but sometimes there will be an afternoon that the fire is going and I’m taking a few min to lay on the couch and we are all jamming to the same music and I smile because these are the good old days.

I jotted this down today as I was eating breakfast with my brother @_jake_wells_ and realizing the inevitable law of feeling and action.
Sometimes we don’t feel like it.
Whatever “it” is.
We don’t feel like getting “in the mood” with our partner.
We don’t feel like “hustling” in our business. We don’t feel like ________.
But the law of feeling and action says that when you start putting for action toward the desired result, the feeling will follow. And feeling initiates more action.
Sometimes I just need to put forth action even when I’m not feeling it. And guess what, the feeling follows.

The last 5 days of my life was exclusively hanging out with these guys, wiping noses and butts 😬, making bottles, snuggling, playing games, playing at the park, having friends over, (plus the dishes and laundry you know). But I’ve had so much fun. Trust me I’m so excited for Eli to get home but I’ve surprised myself with how much fun I’ve had 🥳😎

Ive been thinking a lot about the classic “how do you want people to feel In your presence” question.
I’ve settled on things before, and maybe tbh, what I settle on reflects what I’m workin on in that season. “She noticed me” “She was kind” “She was uninhibited” ... all things I’ve loved.
But yesterday I was listening to a podcast by @tonyrobbins and one of the speakers was talking about one of the most remarkable coaches of all time. What his players said about him was “he loved you so much and he tells you the truth”. It hit me. I feel full of love for people. But I’m so not open in truth sometimes when it comes to how bold I could be. I’ve always been afraid that I would somehow not be able to have the two at the same time.
So here’s my mantra for the next _____ as long as it serves me and if you ask me for my opinion on any matter, you might just get it. And a hug.

Today my husband leaves for 4 nights and at risk of sounding like a total wheenie, I hate it. I’ve been dreading it. 😂 not because I don’t think it’s an awesome idea for him to go run 200 miles in the Tennessee mountains, 😆💣 (don’t worry, split between 12 ish people, I believe) but because I hate the feeling of being alone.
I realize that eli -@scrubshipley is my favorite way to come back to center. Back to home-“e”-o-stasis lol and without him, it’s harder for me not to spiral out of control. But you know what? I’m gonna buckle in, get my white angelica lathered, and see if I can’t find what I want to feel inside of myself 🙃 Here’s to mirrors 💎 helping us expose the dark spots of our minds and find a way to shine some love on em. If you need me, I’ll be making the best of my life. 😂👏🏻 also, this Tshirt is from amazon and I think it’s adorable so go grab one.

First, shoutout to my sis @brookearoundyou who does so much on a daily basis to help me. She doesn’t get enough credit, and she doesn’t do it for the credit. But still. She’s amazing. I literally was thinking about all the ways she affirms me, validated me, loves me. Can’t wait to celebrate your 21st. 😍🥰 Mom, @sonyathompson who stands up for me when I don’t stand up for myself. Loves me unconditionally, truly. Cares. Even if it doesn’t benefit or help her.
@sonyasdavid who works so hard to make our dreams come true. Doing the “not so fun” work and with a smile. I’ll need some help chopping onions in the morning lol.
So many more but I want to open up the opportunity for you to shoutout. Who’s someone that makes your world go ‘round? Feel free to shout em out 😍😘

So worth it to see my kids faces 🤣😍

Today at my husband called me and asked if I would come judge him in his big open workout! 🏋🏻‍♀️😳. I said “um...... why don’t you have someone who’s a better judge and I’ll come cheer”? And he said “well, I really want you to judge me”. I said, “ARE YOU SURE!!???” I IMMEDIATELY shut my computer down and grabbed my tennis shoes because I was so excited for him to invite me into his workout like that. What he was actually saying was “even though you’re not the worlds best judge, I want you there”. 😭❤️ See, I’m really not a good judge AT ALL. Lol In fact, I’m not even very good at CrossFit. I don’t know all the movement standards, I don’t have the best form, But what I am is 100% invested in us. Which honestly is most of why I even show up there everyday. It’s his community and space. And if he wants me to enter into his CrossFit space like that, I’m there for it.
Once or twice I literally lost count of his reps 🧐😅 because numbers jumble when I’m nervous... (wrote down my social security number completely wrong the day I checked into the hospital to have Lennon). but I knew he knows that and I knew he would be counting just in case I did mess up and I was right.
When I’m feeling like the rockstar and in my zone, he’s in the back of the room with a smile, honest heart, and compassionate spirit. And when he’s the rockstar and having to count his own reps, I’m there with all my nerves because I just care so much.
Love you @scrubshipley
Your kindness isn’t lost on me.

PERCEPTION VS REALITY 😂 ok this is probably my favorite TO DATE. “Working from home”
PERCEPTION (photo 1)
Working from the parking lot of some cute coffee shop.
REALITY (swipe to see the video)
I’ll paint the photo for you: ⏺Sick kid upstairs. Got her asleep with oils + snuggles. ⏺Still in jammies, it’s time for morning team call. ⏺baby becomes fussy + wants to be held. ⏺child watching cartoons starts having a niacin flush 😂 (google it. Harmless but no fun) ⏺dishes and toys EVERYWHERE ⏺time to bring it, mama.
Here’s the truth: you have to get creative about what you’re willing to “let go” in the seasons of work. Sometimes, letting go of my expectations is harder than others but look, if you can’t show up and be a boss when you have a kitchen full of dirty dishes, you won’t show up bc we all know the dishes happen.
Sometimes you gotta Push it out of your mind and get to it because what you’re doing is bigger than yourself. Let’s gooooo

I broke down and did a thing. I hired a personal chauffeur so I can work while we drive to a oils + hangout 3 hours away 😂😍 he takes payment in food. Plus he’s cute so it works out 😜🥳

How to even start this post. 😂
Step 1. Stop hysterically laughing.
Step 2. Start typing.
PREFACE. if you are someone who thinks it’s not ladylike to talk about bathroom humor on social media, please don’t continue on. I’ve literally considered telling this story about 1,086,663 times but haven’t. Okay here we go.
A few months ago we all had diarrhea. The whole house. Macks diapers were disgusting, the kids and Eli and I were in the bathroom all day. One of the things that happens when you go to the bathroom ten katrillion times a day, where thorough wiping is involved every time, is the naturally occurring oil on your skill gets rubbed off and you need a little,... help. So we had the rose ointment ready for our saving. ....
I had to leave for a business trip and called my dad to check in from the Denver airport. I was getting checked into the plane so I quickly asked him “how are you feeling”? He said “not so good. Let’s just say I’ve spent most of the day on the pot”. I said “🙁been there. Have you had to use the rose ointment yet?” He said, “what do you mean?” I said, “well, like ... you know. Rose ointment. Like after you go to the bathroom a ton.” He said “I still don’t get what you mean”. I said, “dad, I can’t explain this loudly because I’m literally surrounded by a ton of people. Gtg but I’ll text ya”. So in my hurried state, I text him the following words “like, your butt hole got raw”. 😧
You guys. I sent it. And then as soon as it sent I realized it went through as the color green. iPhones send in blue. Why is this green? So I check the number. It’s not my dad. In fact, it’s my cousin David. Except it wasn’t. Because that number was given to my cousin David as the Pensacola Christian college rep phone. So now cousin David has a new phone and that number I just texted belongs to someone else at pcc (one of the most conservative Christian Colleges In existence. I texted back “oh my gosh I’m so sorry...” and proceeded to explain myself while simultaneously rolling on the floor laughing. Called my dad. Called my brother.
Life Lesson: never assume. That you have the right number or the right person 😂 #lessonsfrommymostembarrasingmoment

Today while I was driving downtown to help my sis pack up some boxes, I did a quick search for “coffee near me”. The closest one was a DONUT SHOP. Be it hormones, be it impulse, I wanted one SO BAD. My mind started observing all the different reasons why it would be a great idea. Taste. “Live a little”.... “You’ve had a hard week.”... and then, get this, my brain asked “is it a national holiday?!?” 😂😂😂 at that moment I decided I would deny my flesh lolol and NOT get a donut.
The old me would have said “that’s right, you’re better because you didn’t get a donut” and I would have sat in this righteous reasoning because I was searching for enough.
I got to the gym and I was definitely the last score on the board. The least amount of reps and you know what I thought? “Yay me. I did all of the pull ups for the first time”. Old “Beth” would have gone into shame. Needing to find a reason why I was not good enough. But new me celebrated.
I didn’t get donuts. I did all the pull ups.
I’m celebrating that. I’m proud of me.
Now, if you are donuts today. Or maybe you didn’t do a workout or whatever, DO NOT GO INTO SHAME. right now, instead, tell me one thing you’re proud of yourself for. And I want you to know I’m proud of you, too.
You are insanely incredible and In case someone else didn’t tell you this, HEAR IT FROM ME. I AM SO SO SO FREAKING PROUD OF YOU.
Xxxxxxxxxxx - B3thany 😊😘
