May 2017 Rock Your Happy Prompts

May 1st – What’s up, May?

Happy Tip (HT) – Spend today reflecting on how you’ll make this the best May yet. Goal setting and vision boarding, are great ways to make some plans for the month!

May 2nd – Take a drive with your windows down, radio up!

(HT) Let this song inspire your drive!

(HT) Can pets make you happier? Having a pet certainly has lots of happy benefits!

May 4th – Happy Password. Change your password to something positive and happy!

(HT) All of my passwords have something to do with happy times. It’s certainly more fun than typing in $139#AC8b2.

May5th – Margarita Time

(HT) Enjoy some happy times on the patio with a margarita mocktail or cocktail. Both of these recipes are awesome. 

May 6th – Shop Local

(HT) Skip the big box stores and visit some of the small town businesses in your town today! Etsy has a great Shop Local store finder.

May 7th – Slow Morning

(HT) Take it easy and enjoy a nice, slow morning. There are a lot of benefits to enjoying a slow morning every once in awhile!

May 8th – Little luxuries. What are some little things that bring you joy that don’t cost a lot of money.

Happy Tip (HT) – I love colorful pens, it makes me happy to write lists in happy and bright colors. Fresh flowers and candles also are little luxuries that bring me joy.

(HT) Read this and go an extra step and write down things you can do right now to help you achieve that dream.

May 10th – Call someone. Pick up the phone and have a real conversation.

(HT) A few current reads that we enjoyed:

Bree’s current reads – At Home in the World. Maine. 

Kristen’s current reads – This Is How It Is, A List of Cages

May 13th – Fix it. Is there something that needs to be fixed and you just haven’t done it? FIX it!

(HT) Reward yourself for a job well done. Maybe a mani or a nice bottle of wine?

May 14th – Couch date. Cuddle up with a blanket and Netflix

(HT) My favorite blanket is similar to this one. It is light and breathable and super easy to wash.

Happy Tip (HT) – This quote guides me every single day!

May 16th – Share a book. Share your favorite book with someone who you think will enjoy it.

(HT) This book changed my life. I always keep multiple copies on hand to give to people!

May 22nd – Take a walk somewhere new. Explore a new trail, park, or area of your town.

Happy Tip (HT) – We like to walk while listening to a good book. We are both fans of this service. Whispersync is the best thing that ever happened to me.

May 23rd – Cool off and make yourself a fruit spritzer!

(HT) – Here are some ideas to get you started. Pineapple and mint is my fave combo.

May 24th – Be silly!

May 25th – In Season. Cook with something in season.

Kristen – we had the busiest but best last day of school, ever! I love full days with friends and fun!

H is for...high!
.
It was so strange being on a plane again. I’m so thankful I have the antibodies because the flights were full, which seemed wrong, but everyone around me did seem to keep their masks on, so that was good.
.
I can’t wait until travel becomes a regular part of life again. I’ve missed it so much!

G is for...oh so grateful!

I flew to South Texas yesterday to visit my parents whom I haven’t seen in 2 years. They live around 17 hours away from us. We typical get to see each other a few times a year but with the pandemic and other health issues it just wasn’t able to happen and I’ve missed them soooo much.

Grateful to have had COVID last month. Although it was not at all fun, it gave me the antibodies to make this trip possible. My dad is having surgery tomorrow so I’m helping with my mom so my dad can recover without having to worry about her.

Kansas is enjoying frigid temperatures and snow. I picked a great week to head south.

F is for...food photography.
.
This time of year especially, food photography (and I guess all photography actually) is a tug of war with time and light. I had planned on making and photographing a delicious pasta recipe, but my grocery delivery ran a couple of hours late because of snowstorm. So, at the eleventh hour I decided to make a cake...that took over an hour to bake and I had about 90 minutes of natural light left...leaving me with about 30 minutes of ok light to work with.
.
Anyway, this wouldn't work for a client shoot because the cake, although delicious, didn't turn out looking so great. But it will work great for today's F photo for the @kimklassen_innercircle A-Z photo project:) Lemon Citrus Yogurt Cake from this weeks @cabotcheese newsletter. So good!

E is for...Excitement!
.
There’s a lot of excitement in Kansas City as our beloved @chiefs head back to the Super Bowl this weekend! #runitback 🏈
.
It’s so strange because winning the super bowl last year was the last “normal” thing that happened before the pandemic hit. We went from a city full of excitement to shutting down and sheltering in place. Maybe when we win and bring the trophy home this year, it’ll be the start of something great. Let’s hope!
.
Who are you rooting for Sunday? Chiefs, Buccaneers or tacos? 😂

D is for... Dreary (and Dog)
February has always been my least favorite month. I have a special name for this month that may start with another not so nice F word...🤭.
.
In Kansas, the sun usually doesn't shine that often, it's cold, and just kind of gray and blah.
.
My indoor jungle makes me happy though...especially this space in my office. Houseplants almost makes me forget we’re in the “F” month 😂.
.
Also, my dog (my favorite d word) would not sit still for a picture when I had my tripod set up, but I finally caught her sitting on her bed and had to catch a picture with my phone. Swipe and you’ll see she is much overdue for a haircut.

C is for Coaching, Coffee and Crystals! Lots of C words today. My @rockyourhappy coaching practice has been the best thing. I am so lucky to be working with really great clients who are doing the hard work and making big changes in their lives. It’s been the perfect fit for me and I know it’s what I am meant to be doing. Coffee, of course, is my favorite C word and Crystals…my daughters got me into the energy powers of crystals and it’s been really fun to learn all about them.
.

My beautiful, custom, Rock Your Happy bullet journal is from @maisielaneco . Coffee/espresso is from @mistoboxcoffee Fabulous photography backdrop is from @poppybeesurfaces . Crystals are from a wonderful local shop here in town.

There’s still time to join in the @kimklassen_innercircle photography group, where this months theme is A-Z. Join us!

B is for Books! Are you a big reader? I wasn’t really a reader growing up. Well, I take that back. In junior high I plowed through the Sweet Valley High series (anyone else?) 😊 And when I was in elementary school I would bust my butt to get to the highest level in the SRA Reading box before anyone else. But I wasn’t a kid who you’d find with their nose in a book, ever.
.

It wasn’t until I was an adult, and my kids began to sleep through the night, that I started reading for fun. Now, I read all the time and it’s one of my favorite pastimes. I love talking books with people and sharing recommendations. I really don’t watch TV, so books, especially right now, is my main form of entertainment.
.

This is why for the @kimklassen_innercircle A-Z photography challenge, I knew that Books would be my B. It’s my favorite B word (beating out Bullet Journaling, Bread, Blankets, Be Happy, etc).

A is for Alone. I think one of the hardest things for me to get used to this past year is rarely being alone. My husband used to travel all the time. My school aged kids were in school all day while I worked. I’d even get several days a month in a hotel room by myself for my work travels. I like my alone time and it’s definitely something I miss.
.

I’m easily distracted so you will usually find me working in complete silence…maybe just the hum of my essential oil diffuser and the sound of my fingers on my keyboard. I need the quiet and treasure silence.
.

With that said, I’ve loved the extra time with my family - and we’ve all learned over the past several months how to give each other space and recognize when we need that space. As of today, my kids all are back to school full time in person 😢. Nick is still working from home and will be for the time being, but now the aloneness feels strange. I’m sure we’ll get used to this “new normal” yet again!
.

This month in @kimklassen photography Inner Circle, we’re tackling the alphabet, with an A-Z photography challenge (interpreting that however we see fit). If you want to join us, check out this wonderful community of photographers at @kimklassen_innercircle 📷.
