Book Review: Undone, by Michele Cushatt

Book Review: Undone, by Michele Cushatt

Michele’s…

7 Quick Takes Friday (vol. 55): in which we talk about a lot (a lot) of writing

— 1 — Another week gone by; goodness, it flew!  Between job-hunting and a whirlwind trip to spend time with some of my extended family this week, I’m not really sure what happened to this week, but I am really looking forward to the next couple of days.  Hoping to finish Michele Cushatt’s Undone (which, you…

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

7 Quick Takes Friday (vol. 41): autumn, autocorrect, and amazing grace

7 Quick Takes Friday (vol. 41): autumn, autocorrect, and amazing grace

— 1 — For the past two days, it has been dark, rainy, and cold here.  It’s relatively depressing, and makes me want to wear bulky sweaters, watch movies, and make pot roast.  I was thinking about how to describe this sudden shift in the weather and I realized that, living in Illinois, there’s just…

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.
