I’ve pretty much stayed in a very small blog bubble since starting this blog. The blogs I have on my blogroll are the blogs I read. My blog isn’t part of any webrings, isn’t advertised on forums, has no adverts (I get so many emails & comments thanking me for that one!) and I only frequent about 25-30 other PF/Simplicity blogs. For those reasons I found it very difficult to comprehend how my blog got to 2000 readers a day, let alone comprehend how 2000 people would want to hear my inner thoughts and opinions! So it was with great disbelief when I was asked to join a new venture called the Simple, Green, Frugal Co-op
What made me say yes, was that this co-op is about a wholesome life. It is about people across the world who want to live wholesome, simple, earth friendly, green lives; away from the bright lights of consumerism and focus on making money and instead focused on something that gives us oh so much more. I have no comprehension why Rhonda came to think I’d be a good contributor, but I am honored.
So, I invite you all to read and join in the discussions happening at Simple Green Frugal Co-op, not because it will earn me a dime, but because you, like me, may feel inspired by the bredth of knowledge and compassion that adorn the posts.
My first post for the co-op can be found here
On another new note, thank you to all the new commenters who are also on a simplicity and downshifting journey! I certainly have have more blogs to add to my blogroll this weekend!
Congratulation. That’s great news. It definitely looks to be on your wavelength so I’m not surprised you accepted.
I had very specific criteria for choosing writers. You fit the bill perfectly. Among other things, I wanted those who don’t advertise and who have a real understanding of money and how it infiltrates our lives.
I’m really proud of our group and I’m very pleased you agreed to be part of it.
Hi there-very well done to you!! I can understand why-you are a great inspiration and such a lovely person, yaay!!
Congrats sweetie! I’ve always loved reading your blog. I’m really happy to hear that other folks recognize the value of your experiences.
thats great! it sounds like a good group of like minded people, I loved your post the other day about giving up work to mind those children, it’s lovely that you ‘get’ it while your still young, a gift of yourself like that changes lives
How cool and how true. The consumerism thing is so wrong and we all seem to be making the shift away.
Love the co-op already! Well done you.
Thanks Rhonda, you are too kind!
Glad you are liking it Miss Thrifty, I’m currently getting ready to post my second post!

Well done, you put a lot into this blog and it is much valued.

Thanks Laura!
I’m so glad you joined and posted about it, otherwise I would never have found the co-op site, and I’ve been enjoying it for the last hour. Congratulations – and I agree that you’re a perfect fit. You inspire me every time I stop by your blog.
