Book Review: Be You. Do Good.

Book Review: Be You. Do Good.

As I mentioned last week, I’ve been reading Be You. Do Good., by Jonathan David Golden.  I meant it when I said it’s been a fabulous read.  The stories Golden tells about his work in Rwanda and the positive change that his company is bringing about in the lives of hundreds of people around the world are…

Choosing “fight” as my OneWord for 2016 was surprisingly easy – but the day-to-day practicality of living it out sure isn’t turning out to be.  What am I going to do on the days when I don’t feel like fighting, or when I’m not sure what I’m fighting for? At the end of last year, the Female Entrepreneur Association…

My OneWord for 2016

Seven Stories That Have Shaped My Life: #7 – the one about epic adventures

Seven Stories That Have Shaped My Life: #7 – the one about epic adventures

Picking a seventh book for this series was difficult – not because I didn’t have one, but because there are so many great stories that have influenced my life.  Choosing only one more was a challenge!

Seven Stories That Have Shaped My Life: #6 – the one about trust and vulnerability

Seven Stories That Have Shaped My Life: #6 – the one about trust and vulnerability

Confession #1: (I am slightly embarrassed to admit this but) I really love a good love story. Observation of Fact #1: There are a lot of really awful Christian romance novels out there.  (And when I say really awful, I’m talking “how-did-this-ever-get-published” awful…) Confession #2: As a result of Observation of Fact #1, when I find…

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.
