Blissful Being: a Search for Happiness

In 1997, Nadia realized that even though she had everything she ever wanted, she felt empty. She wondered if that emptiness would last the rest of her life. Nadia decided to go on a quest to find out if happiness was possible. She spent the next nine years looking for happiness. Nadia's journey took her to India where she lived for six months. She then returned home to America where she traveled throughout the country. Nadia's quest for the existence of happiness ended with her taking care of her mother who was diagnosed with terminal cancer. Blissful Being is a collection of about forty poems which are reflections of this journey. What she discovers not only changes how she sees herself, but how she perceives life.
