“You write to communicate to the hearts and minds of others what’s burning inside you.” – Arthur Polotnik
I have many people to thank over the years for the growth of Becoming Minimalist. But I typically credit this post from Zen Habits on August 12, 2009 as being the first major breakthrough for this blog. His simple link at the bottom of the post brought hundreds of new readers. And I immediately began to understand some of the key principles behind growing a minimalist blog.
On a related note, I’ve been overwhelmingly impressed with the quality (and number) of new blogs dedicated to minimalism and simplicity that have been emerging online lately. And as one who is deeply motivated by a passion for the message of living with less, I couldn’t possibly be more excited. The more writers, the quicker the message spreads. Keep on writing and inspiring!
If I can play a small role in helping these writers introduce themselves, I’m all in. Here then, are just a few of the blogs that have popped up on my radar (and reader list) in the past several months. There is no doubt in my mind, you will enjoy them too.

It’s a Pinterest dream come true.
The Life on Purpose Movement
Erica Layne has created a powerful movement for purposeful women, where she explores topics from self-care and happiness to simple living & purposeful parenting.
Also, just recently, I have begun enjoying Money is Not Important and Buy Nothing New for a Year. And even though they didn’t really fit my criteria of being new, I did want to mention both of them.

Sau 3 năm lấy nhau, anh đã xây được
căn nhà 4 tầng khang trang ngay giữa trung
tâm thành phố. Vì quan niệm có sức khỏe là
có tất cả nên anh rất chú trọng việc ăn uống và
tập luyện thể dục của cả nhà. Bữa ăn lúc nào anh cũng nhắc nhở vợ mua thức ăn ngon bổ dưỡng, có thể bớt tiền quần áo nhưng đồ
ăn và món ăn của truyen, của con thì không cần phải tiết kiệm.
