Take a quick moment and ask yourself this question, “Are you really happy?”. I’d love to say that as the writer of this blog, Defining Happy, that my life is filled with skips through lavender fields, impromptu moonwalks down the sidewalk, and an abundance of happy days but that’s not the case. I’m Continue reading
This post (well any post for that matter) is well over due. It isn’t that I haven’t thought about writing. My pen is definitely my therapy….it has been for 30 years. I think I’ve been apprehensive to put thoughts to paper for fear that I wasn’t ready to release and inhale what I was feeling.
For the last few weeks I’ve been grieving the loss of my right hand man…my biggest supporter…my one man cheering section…the man who has set the bar so high for any man who will ever come in to my life…my grandpa. He passed away on March 30th and ever since that 6 am call I had been feeling as though my heart stopped beating also. Like I too had taken my last breath. Continue reading
Happy New Year to everyone!!
Just sending a quick note to let you all know that I am alive. Thank you to all who have sent me emails expressing your concern. I totally intend to return all emails and calls in the next couple of days. I also have about 5 posts sitting in draft mode and tons of updates. The new posts will be starting with a “December 18th” post so be sure to read from that date forward on your next visit.
Everything will be up to date by Monday the 28th.
Peace and Blessings,
Miss Venus

I’ve been on the road since April and Lord knows I’ve had some experiences that I could not recreate even if I tried. I have traveled to so many places in such a short amount of time that I haven’t really had the chance to sit back and think about all of the amazing things I have done, seen, and the people I have met and been inspired by along the way. I initially set a duration of 13 months to travel the world and the decision to Continue reading
Gratitude – the quality or feeling of being grateful or thankful –dictionary.com
If it had not been for the thousands of Facebook posts from friends and family I swear I would have forgotten that today was Thanksgiving. I am in a country outside of the US so it is obvious that no one here celebrates this holiday.
This time last year I was a few weeks in to my much needed therapy sessions and I was a huge ball filled to the rim with every emotion you could think of…..with the exception of anger. Although I felt as thought the weight of the world was on my shoulder I didn’t want to sulk and complain. So instead of wallowing in own mess on my couch with a sad chick flick and two bags of hot fries and an entire ice cream cake from Dairy Queen Continue reading
