I love the way God sets things like this up. My friend Faith has a friend who has a “book blog” who reviewed Dan Brennan’s book, Sacred Unions, Sacred Passions.  Then my friend Sara, who found Kathy Escobar‘s blog years ago, sent me a link to one of Kathy’s posts about this conference at which she…

I’m “helping” (whatever that means) with the redesign of a website right now, and one of the super-fun tools we’re using to do it is called inVision.  Essentially what I’m doing is creating jpegs that look like what we want various pages of the website to look like, and then using inVision’s crazy cool magic to…

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.
