What's in the Way of Your Happiness?: How to break free from vendu annoying

"Whats In the Way of Your Happiness" is not a prescription for happiness. There is no formula for that. Its instead the result of a continuous self reflecting process that made Marilu Holmes realize that happiness is our default, and that the only reason we dont experience this natural state, is because of the beliefs that we have adopted as truthful in the past and that are stopping us from satisfying our unique desires. Her intention is to inspire her readers to lead an authentic life by courageously acting on their desires while facing any resistance they may have and transmuting it into unconditional acceptance. After many years of listening to master coaches and spiritual gurus, and reading self-help books containing the best-intended recipes to empower her and raise her vibration so she could manifest abundance and joy, Marilu found that the only way to reach her full potential was simply by living her life honestly-according to her own guidelines, not those of someone else. For more information about the author, visit Marilu co-owns a small printing company in Florida with her husband. She holds a bachelors degree in journalism from the Universidad Central de Venezuela and an Associate of Applied Science degree in film and TV production.

When their second child was born-in 2004-they opened their printing business. In 2015, she self published her first book-Whats In the Way of Your Happiness?-now available on Amazon and Barnes & Noble. "This book was born from the pages of my journal during one of the most difficult times in my life-when I separated from my husband. I made a lot of mistakes in an attempt to seek balance and fulfillment, trying to cure an incessant-yet subtle-feeling of being trapped. [...] On my journey away and back home, I gained the wisdom I share in this book. Each word intends to awaken your self-reflection, which will ultimately lead you to the realization that happiness is your default-your natural state of being."
