breathing space

breathing space

My #oneword365 for this year is “pause,” and I already love how much even just choosing that word has helped me to slow down, and create some breathing space. Advent is usually my season for that. Quiet nights and twinkle lights are frequently my way in to a slower season, but it didn’t quite pan…

Modern technology does have its down sides (see Rob Bell’s recent series: A Brief Guide to the Undernet: Parts One, Two, and Three), but one of its up sides allowed for one of my dearest friends and I to spend an evening this weekend chatting via FaceTime while we cooked our respective dinners in two different…

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.
