7 Quick Takes Friday (vol. 19): intentions, planning, and really good books

— 1 — It’s been a productively lazy week – or maybe lazily productive?  Either way, this past week has been the perfect blend of getting stuff done and doing fun things.  I have read entire books from cover to cover (most notably Anne Lamott’s Stitches and Lauren Graham’s Someday, Someday, Maybe) and been 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.
