gossip, slander, information, and advice – part 1: definitions

I’ve been thinking about all of this for awhile, watching the headlines and the articles and the conversations that have popped up in my Facebook newsfeed over the past few weeks.  It seems there are “scandals” pretty much everywhere in North American Christendom right now. Michael Gungor might be an evolutionist. Mark Driscoll should probably resign….

on why i became a feminist

on why i became a feminist

I remember coming home from a conference on cross-gender friendship a couple years ago, and calling one of my best friends from college.  “How’d it go?” she asked. “It was awesome.  I learned a lot…  oh, and I think I’m an egalitarian feminist.” She started laughing. “No, really.  I think I’ve been one for awhile, actually….

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.
