Highlighting the Blogroll

I'd like to highlight for a moment the blogs I've chosen for my blogroll at the side of the page, and how these blogs support and expand my central message.  These are blogs that discuss similar topics, but from a different angle, and they do a terrific job.  

• Zen Habits is written by a father who writes, runs, and practices simple living. I chose this blog to share because it talks about many ways to live more with less-- more energy, more fun, more sharing, with less money, less clutter, less stress. It's a theme that is prevalent in my blog and he's got lots of content that focuses on good habits that enable you to live richly. 
• Get Rich Slowly, the "most inspiring money blog (as named by Money magazine)" is a personal finance blog that focuses on the concept that getting rich is a gradual process, not an instant one.  This blog focuses on a lot of good money habits that I avoid writing about simply because there are other excellent sources of this information.  This is one of them.  It has a wealth of information (no pun intended) on everything from investment strategies to home energy tips.  I like this because money is scalable-- both big decisions and little decisions affect your financial quality of life. 
• Unclutterer is about ridding your life of the unneccessary junk that accumulates.  They have tips for living in small spaces, getting rid of stuff you don't need, interacting with loved ones that are clutterers, etc.  A recurring theme of not spending money is often about recognizing what you do and don't need in your life, and getting rid of the latter.  This blog talks about how to organize, assess, and restructure the belongings in your life.

It's a cycle, really.  Not Spending Money is about good money sense. Part of good money sense is not spending on items  you don't need, or clearing out items you don't want to make room for people in your life or enabling a more thrifty lifestyle. This can open the door to living simply and encouraging habits that mean you don't spend as much money.  It's a positive cycle that builds you up to the place you want to be, not a negative one of endless budgeting and self-denial. Enjoy :)

If you know of a blog that would fit with my blogroll that I can share, let me know, or share it in the comments section!
