I’ve Found It (Finally!) – The Best Book On Singleness.  Ever.

I’ve Found It (Finally!) – The Best Book On Singleness. Ever.

I’ve read a lot of books about being single over the past twenty years. I’ve been a Lady In Waiting, and I Kissed Dating Good-bye with everyone else in the 90s (although somehow most of them managed to get married anyway).  I’ve thought a lot about Passion and Purity, and wondered: If Men Are Like Buses, Then…

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.
