whispers of glory: why social justice matters

whispers of glory: why social justice matters

i have had an overdeveloped sense of justice pretty much my entire life.  “it’s not fair!” was probably one of my most-voiced complaints as a kid, and to be perfectly honest, it’s probably one of my most-voiced complaints to God about any number of things now.  there is something woven deep into the fabric of…

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.
