7 Quick Takes Friday (vol.43): confessions, Revelation, and how not to brush your teeth

— 1 — September was probably one of the busiest months I’ve had in awhile, and if I needed proof that I was tired at the end of it, I got it.  Usually on Wednesdays I leave for work a few minutes early and treat myself to a venti soy no water chai at Starbucks…

It Is Well

It Is Well

A couple weeks ago, a good friend and I set off on a day-trip to my favorite town in Michigan, in search of rest and just getting away and glad to be pursuing a day like that together.  It was an absolutely lovely trip (I mean, there was that one part where we left our umbrellas…

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.
