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

Are You Already Slacking On Your Resolutions?
Ok so I guess I’ve abandoned this blog been away long enough. So let’s get this party started…..again.
It’s a brand spanking new year and judging by the decreasing amount of cars in the gym parking lot it’s about that time where some of us start to slack on our mile long list of New Year’s resolutions. I know we are all tired of hearing the cliché Continue reading
I’m Possible
I was recently on a telephone conversation trying to gather some information for a move I’m trying to make in regard to my career. The cat on the phone seemed more than eager to tell me that what I was trying to accomplish was “impossible”. He had repeated this word about 5 times in a matter of seconds. Before I knew it I had completely shut him down by replying, Continue reading
….in peace.
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
The art of serenity
Although a tad bit harsh you have to admit that you can’t get any more real than the statement above. I will absolutely admit that as a teenager….I used to be some what of a hothead. While that didn’t include embarrassing myself in public if things didn’t go my way, anyone (and I mean anyone) who didn’t do right by me would feel the wrath. Continue reading
I’m Alive
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.

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,

Food For Thought – Be True to Self
I pride myself on the fact that I’ve never wanted to be like anybody else (with the exception of Michael Jackson. I used to Continue reading
On the 7 hour drive down to DC yesterday I spent a lot of time reflecting on how far I’ve come in life. It’s always easy for people to say that you should “leave the past in the past” and move on. In some instances this may be appropriate but I prefer to look back at those hard times so I can reflect on how much I have grown and accomplished. Or even just to give me a reason to smile when I’m feeling down. My “rock bottom” led me on this wild journey and will be a huge part of the solid foundation that I am going to build this next phase of my life upon.
CHEERS to the hardships, naysayers, backbiters, mistreaters, and the trials and tribulations. They came so that they could make me stronger.
