Interrupted: for life

Interrupted: for life

If there is only one book you read this fall, it needs to be Interrupted, by Jen Hatmaker.  I’m not kidding. If you’re a follower of Jesus, it’s a MUST-READ.  (And I Say That With Capital Letters.  Because I Really Mean It.) And if you aren’t a follower of Jesus – then I would humbly ask…

7 Quick Takes Friday (vol. 36): preaching, writing, and reality checks

7 Quick Takes Friday (vol. 36): preaching, writing, and reality checks

— 1 — I like to think that I am a planner.  Tho I have friends who have contingency plans for their contingency plans – so maybe I’m really not.  I’m more of a “this is what I would like to do in this block of time” sort of planner.  I have long-term goals and…

Book Review: Invitation to Tears

Book Review: Invitation to Tears

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.
