7 Quick Takes Friday (vol. 32): feminism, Hobbits, and futuristic societies

— 1 — Happy Independence Day!   Thanks to an article in the UK edition of the International Business Times, I have learned a few things that I probably learned in school and then completely forgot: for example, the Declaration of Independence was signed on July 4, 1776 – but Great Britain didn’t actually get it…

what to do with a leadership #fail

what to do with a leadership #fail

I wish I could tell you this will never happen to you… but leaders, there are going to be times when you completely and utterly biff it.  I’m not talking about those really awkward moments when you forget someone’s name or when somebody on the tech team turns off the lights before you’re offstage and you have…

7 Quick Takes Friday (vol. 30): history, friendship, and awesome music

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.
