gossip, slander, information, and advice – part 4: a little advice

gossip, slander, information, and advice – part 4: a little advice

In case you are just catching this series, I’d like to take a minute to backtrack a bit, because the past few posts I’ve written lay some important groundwork for this conversation.

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.

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.
