Small is Beautiful

Over 500 passionate bloggers have signed the Small is Beautiful Manifesto. The manifesto and the image above were created by Jen Lemen and Rachelle Mee-Chapman (Magpie Girl).

The Small is Beautiful Manifesto

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.

Won’t you join our tiny revolution?

The bloggers who have signed the manifesto are such an incredibly diverse group of individuals. When visiting the manifesto’s site, you can’t help but click on some of the amazing links. Over time, I have visited about 100 of the growing group of blogs. Yet, I can’t even narrow that 100 down to about 10 to share. So I did what any blogger does when numbers get in the way — visited my friend, random.org. I used the random number generator to select 10 blogs to share with you! I hope you enjoy this little selection of blog gems and visit the manifesto site for even more fabulous blogs. Remember, Small is Beautiful!

   Hey Carolyn!

   I was tempted to sign the small is beautiful manifesto, but I realized that I may not be a small blog for long. I still think that we should end up running our blogs as though they were still small even when they get big(ger). After all, why blog if you’re not writing about your passion and interacting with your readers?

   I have loved meeting new friends by clicking the passionate and small is beautiful links….or even better when I stumble across a new blog and see the banner. So glad you came to my blog so I could come to yours! Wishing you a wonderful New Years!
