table for one

A few years ago, I was out for dinner with some friends, and I saw a woman dining alone at a candlelit table by the window, with a glass of wine and a book she was obviously enjoying.  And I thought, that’s brilliant.  I never would’ve thought to do it – taking a book to a…

7 Quick Takes Friday (vol. 22): grieving, presence, and friendship

7 Quick Takes Friday (vol. 22): grieving, presence, and 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.
