Book Review: Invitation to Tears

“A guide to grieving well.”  Couldn’t we all have used one the first time we encountered grief? (And every time thereafter?) In Invitation to Tears, Jonalyn Fincher and Aubrie Hills artfully weave both their stories and their studies to create a compassionate guide to the experience of grief.  Focused mainly on grief associated with death (but…

the three most valuable questions you can ask your mentor

the three most valuable questions you can ask your mentor

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.

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.
