7 Quick Takes Friday (vol. 14) – the “running away to Michigan” edition

— 1 — ROAD TRIP!  There’s something about getting out of my typical environments and just being away that restores my perspective like nothing else.  I only have a couple of days, so I hit the road this afternoon and headed up to the CityFlats hotel.  I love this place.  Environmentally friendly, classy, and fun….

A good friend of mine dropped me a note shortly after I preached last month, and one of the things he said was, “I think it was the first time people got to see you onstage.  You seemed very comfortable with yourself and your message.”  It struck me as a little funny…  I mean, who was I the last time…

Meet Happy
Simple Felicity is, at its heart, a blog based on the unshakeable belief that happiness really isn't all that complicated. It's often found in the simplest of things: good food, good books, and good company. So those are the things I write about, along with a few other things that really matter to me, including faith and feminism. A bit about me: My name is Happy. I have an amazing talent for misplacing my keys, a deep appreciation for whomever looked at the coffee bean and thought, "Hey, I wonder what would happen if I roasted this?", and road trips to Michigan are pretty much my favorite.
