Small Is Beautiful: January Link Love

We believe stories are valuable, no matter how many people read them.
We believe following your passion is more important that watching your site meter.
We believe in the handmade, the first try, the small start, and the good effort.
We believe that small is beautiful.

This month in our January round up of Small, Beautiful, and Passionate bloggers we feature five sites with beautiful words and inspiring images. You know how encouraging it is when you get a new comment, right? Why not stop by and say hello? (Tell them Magpie Girl sent you!) Happy New Year.

Going through changes? So is SAHM’s Musings, and she’s got a good grip on how the word “Change” is going to power her through the new year. (Plus, I love her tag line: “I’m up. I’m dressed. What more do you want?”)

Learning to Embrace the Present? Dreams of a Simple Life has a lovely banner, and her tagline is “a journal of how I’m learning to embrace every single day.” That’s a sentiment I hear echoed often in the blogsophere. What is that deep hunger all about, and what in our culture creates it? Hmmmm. Christine doesn’t claim to be answering these questions forthwith, but she’s making a dedicated effort to practice the practice of Being Present.

Want to Hang Out with an Artist? Rachelle Baum at Eye Candy is doing some intriguing art right now around soul retrieval. I like how she gives us a peek into her process of making mixed media. (I do so love peering into artist’s studios. Don’t you?)

Feeling Nostalgic? Evelyn at Mindful Elementalsfound a bunch of her childhood poetry and shared a little of it with us on line. It’s poignant and charming. Maybe it’s time for you to go through your old journals and keepsakes to rediscover a little bit of yourself?

Learning to photograph?Me too. S-L-O-W-L-Y. I like what Erica over at Oak Grove is doing with a lens. Her aesthetic is lovely. I hope this shutterbug can replace her lost camera soon!

Fellow Revolutionaries are featured once a month for link love and general accolades. Readership numbers, fame, and fortune matter not one whit. Grab a button to play along, then sign up on the mailing list or follow me on Twitter. Thanks for being here!
