I asked y'all to shoot me some song selections over on Facebook this Friday to make an encouraging, happy, upbeat, playlist.

Seing as how Pretty Subsistence is new, there wasn't much feedback...BUT we do have enough songs for a super quick pump-up sesh :) It's an eclectic mix and I hope you enjoy it.

Here's the PS HAPPY collaborative playlist. We shall add to it with time and as new happy songs come along. Feel free to post more in comments and I'll add to it!

This week I'm finishing my last minute details before moving to AZ for my seasonal firefighting job. Lots of new people and encounters coming my way in the next 6 months and I've been trying to come up with a focus or mantra or something simple to stick in my brain for the slow/fast/hectic/monotinous/stressful/scary/nerve grating/joyful/sad/lonely/confusing/exhausting summer ahead.

Kindness has been popping up in my thoughts, either from noticing a lack of it around me, or feeling the need to apply it more in my life. Then I came upon a quote over on Pinterest, made it pretty on Canva and decided this would be my summer motto {and really applied year round}

Check out what Julianne Hough had to say over on her blog. She's an ambassador for kind campaign which is a movement that takes a stand agains girl-on-girl crime. Basically though, I like to follow Julianne because she seems like a sweet lady, exudes happy energy, and has some fantastic hair tutorials for us short haired girls. She promotes kindness so I'm sharing her with you.

Anyway, if you'd like to join me in pursuing a posture of kindness this summer let me know and we can encourage each other through the failures and cheer on to the successes!

Here's to a happy week :)
