differently difficult: the toughest things about singleness

differently difficult: the toughest things about singleness

What is the absolute hardest thing about being a single Christian?  Well – if we all had to sum it up collectively, we’d probably have to go with, “Um… being single?” There are likely actually hundreds of answers to that question, dependent on age, gender, culture, personality, and other circumstances; even in my own life,…

five things not to say to your single friends

five things not to say to your single friends

There have been a lot of very funny posts written over the past couple of years about some of the terrible things married people have said to their single friends (most of the ones I’ve read have been posted on Stuff Christians Like – because Jon Acuff is awesome like that). This may not be one…

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.
