7 Quick Takes Friday (vol. 51): beauty, connection, and the thing about being a grownup

7 Quick Takes Friday (vol. 51): beauty, connection, and the thing about being a grownup

— 1 — I remembered shortly after publishing last week’s 7QTs that I’d forgotten about a couple things I meant to share and (due to forgetting) didn’t.  So this week’s first two takes are from last week, but hey, I’m clearly still thinking about them, so they totally count.   First, some autocorrect fun from…

missing Christmas

missing Christmas

I have a confession to make. It’s January 22nd, and my Christmas tree is still up.  I just haven’t been able to bring myself to put it away yet. Advent and the 12 days of Christmas that follow have always been, by far, my absolute most favorite time of the year, but this year, I feel…

you’re invited

you’re invited

It happened twice today. Quiet, unassuming, and yet oh, so significant, the invitation came. The first was in conversation with a friend over coffee this morning.  Open, compassionate, and genuinely curious, she asked me: “What’s been hard about all that you’ve been through recently?” And there it was – the invitation: You’re in a safe place….

7 Quick Takes Friday (vol. 49): anthems, truth, and the value of friendship

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.
