About the host
Hosted by Melissa T
The Pursue Happiness Home:
In 2018, I started a new venture. It began simply enough, traveling to the Poconos, where I hoped to find a new home. While driving, something caught my eye: the “Welcome to Pennsylvania” sign which read the message, “Pursue Your Happiness.” The words haunted and inspired me, in the most beautiful and idyllic way. The sign resonated with me so, as they had previously been etched in my mind – on another sign. That message – vibrantly emblazoned in neon pink letters with the same words - hung on the walls of the iconic Sweet Liberty Bar in Miami. Having worked in the beverage and spirits industry for the entirety of my career, I found such meaning in the correlation of both of the signs and the gentle, yet poignant, message behind the words: “Pursue Happiness.”
It was at the very moment, I decided that my new home owning venture needed to somehow bare recognition of those words. I wanted a home that not only inspired the pursuit of individual happiness but made my guests feel it as the theme of their stay.
A “Pursue Happiness” replica neon sign now hangs on the walls of my own home– as we should strive to live each day by following this sweet and simple mantra.
