The Happy Venture

Looking Back, Going Forward.

Start As You Mean To Go On: How Something Simple Changed the Way I Work

Flying by the Seat of My Pants Away From Perfectionism!

I am trying something very new! I am writing this blog post at 4:24pm Friday April 13th with absolutely no PLAN. I don't know what I'm going to...

The Happy Venture is a website dedicated to exploring happiness, personal truth, and life purpose.

Since 2012 my mantra has been "1 Step, 1 Breath, and 1 Day at a Time".
It's reminds me to walk, breath, and live each day ON PURPOSE.

What started as a passion project sharing my journey, revealed my desire to become a Transformational Life Coach.

Since 1997 I have been exploring what my life could be,
away from what others told me I "should" do.

It's all led me here. I realized I wanted to help others on their journey, to be a guide.
Helping people find their PURPOSE in life is MY PASSION!

If you're ready to explore what YOUR LIFE COULD BE ON YOUR TERMS, FROM YOUR HEART than reach out. Let me give you a hand on your journey. You're not alone. I'd love to be your guide.

Sincerely,

Melissa A. Perry
Transformational Coach
