My Happy Place

My Happy Place is a collection of journal entries Ujala Rizvi wrote over several years to process the positive and negative events that shaped her life.

Life can move much more quickly than any of us expects-especially when there are many big events such as the death of a family member or the birth of a new child. Ujala has lived through these and more; her journal entries reflect twenty-five years of her journey growing from a young woman to a mother.

Raw and emotional, My Happy Place is a reminder that although we may be struggling, we don't exist alone-we can find solace in relationships and the world around us. With reflection, we can each find our own "happy place."

Ujala Rizvi has always wanted to share her experiences. At first, she tried to write a blog but found that she was more interested in writing a book, which became My Happy Place. She hopes that by being open about her experiences and feelings, her readers can find guidance in a turbulent world.

Ujala also loves to draw and do calligraphy; she enjoys expressing herself through art, just as she does through her writing. She loves going on therapeutic drives, and listening to music moves her to the core. She lives for peaceful moments, where she can embrace silence and being on her own.

Ujala currently lives in Mississauga, Ontario, with her two loving and respectful children and her witty and caring husband.
