# Decoding Life in Emojis

*Emojis are your personal mood board*

If someone took a look at your most recently used emojis, what would they say about you?

I recently did a deep dive into mine, and the results were surprisingly revealing. From travel and food to expressive emotions, my emojis are basically a mirror of what’s been happening in my life in the last few weeks.

### 1\. Travel & Adventure ✈🌞❄

With trips to Dubai, India, and Iceland coming up, and recent visits to San Francisco and Chicago, it’s no surprise that airplanes and weather-related emojis are dominating. The mix of sun and snowflakes perfectly sums up my current reality.

### 2\. Business & Strategy? Missing in Action. 💼📉🤝

Surprisingly, there’s a noticeable lack of business-related emojis. Given how much is happening with HappyBoards — new partnerships, expansion, and growth — I expected to see something like 📊 or 🤝. Instead, my emoji use suggests I’ve been in a more personal, expressive, and maybe even introspective mode lately.

### 3\. Food & Drinks = HappyBoards 🧀🍷

Cheese and wine? Of course. My love shows up clearly in my emojis. Whether it’s brainstorming new ideas for HappyBoards, launching new concepts like HappyCandles, or just indulging in good eats, these icons feel like a natural part of my identity.

### 4\. Running & Fitness: Where Are You? 🏃‍♂💪👟

Since I’ve been training for races again, I expected to see more running or fitness-related emojis — but they’re nowhere to be found. Maybe that’s a sign that I need to lean into my runner’s mindset a little more.

### 5\. Emotional Range: Expressive & Engaged 😂😡🙏😵‍💫

One thing is clear: I don’t shy away from emotions. My emoji usage swings from laughter to frustration, from gratitude to mind-blown moments. This makes sense — between personal reflections, navigating relationships, and the stress of new business moves, I’ve been feeling _everything_ lately.

### What Else is Missing? 💃🕺✍📚

If I had to tweak my emoji game to reflect my full _desired_ reality, I’d add:

*   💃🕺 – I barely get to go out dancing more than once or twice a month.
    
*   ✍📚 – From IPebbleYou to the thousands of books on my Kindle.
    

Ultimately, **emojis are like a personal mood board** — they reveal what's top of mind. And in my case, they’re nudging me to be more intentional about certain areas of my life.

So, what do _your_ most-used emojis say about you? Open your keyboard and see what comes up. It's a  
quick way to see what's on your mind.
