three men and a journal: reflections on pursuing the one relationship that matters most

Over the past couple of weeks, we’ve talked a fair bit about the drawbacks of online dating. Today’s guest post, written by one of my dearest friends, shares a slightly different perspective: Just over a year ago, I began having a discussion with God about my hopes and dreams for marriage. I’d been talking with…

adventures in Lent

adventures in Lent

The more I’ve talked with people about Lent, the more I’ve realized: it can be a very misunderstood season.  I’ve misunderstood it myself.  So often, Lent is painted as a long, dark, and barren season – and with good reason: traditionally, people tend to “give something up” for Lent – and when you’ve given up…

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.
