To inspire another is a beautiful thing.
And these five bloggers consistently bring it. Obviously they’re not alone when it comes to inspiring so watch for more bloggers to be highlighted here in the future.
But today, I’m delighted to introduce you to the first five bloggers brimming with inspiration:
Beth Saadati // Bittersweet: Because Sweet Still Follows Bitter…Even in Loss. This is a blog no mother ever wants to create. It’s vulnerable. It’s heart-wrenching, and yet quietly inspiring. You see, it’s a story focused on the aftermath of Beth’s 14 year old daughter, Jenna, who committed suicide three years ago. She speaks of loss, her words as heavy as her heart. But Beth’s story, above all, radiates great Light and insight for parents and teens.
Merissa // Little House Living – I admit she had me at the vintage Mason jar on her blog header. Frugal living tips, garden tours, and recipes from scratch soon followed and I was hooked. I hope to begin embracing my own simple kind of rhythm as we move forward in our plans to trek across town to the foothills.
Helene // Helene-In-Between – When Bloglovin’ pops up in my inbox, I’m scanning the list for this site. Boundless blogging tips for writers, and non-bloggers are sure to enjoy her travel posts. Beautiful pictures, timely tips, and fun giveaways will inspire you for days to come. {You’ll definitely want to follow her on Pinterest.}
Kenzie // Hello Neverland – Everything about Kenzie’s site inspires — the white space, the clean lines, the content. It’s all there and more. Some of the subjects covered on this site: Faith, Writing/Journaling, Intentional Living, Clean Living, Creativity, etc. Her recent book review on More: Find Your Personal Calling and Live Life to the Fullest Measure by Todd Wilson is excellent.
Joshua Becker // Becoming Minimalist – “Let’s be known for the lives we live. Not the things we buy.’ His words on this site, as well as his books, are simple, to the point, and a tad convicting. Okay, who am I kidding? For people like me, it’s more than a tad, but I need to receive it in bits so it’s not overwhelming. His latest book, The More of Less: Finding the Life You Want Under Everything You Own has arrived in my mailbox. Now to find it under all my half-packed boxes. 🙂

Thanks for the list, Cathy. I hope we are able to downsize one of these days. I’m tired of stuff! But I LOVE your new site!
Thank you so much, Vonda. That means a lot coming from you sweet friend. When you’re ready to downsize you can’t beat Joshua’s new book! Blessings…
Hi Cathy,
Yes, I subscribe to Beth Saadati’s blog, and her words deeply move me. Thank you for highlighting Bittersweet and recommending the other sites as well. As for other favorite bloggers, I have a dear friend who is tremendously gifted as a songwriter, writer, and photographer. Heather Halbert’s blog is http://www.soletusknow.wordpress.com ~ pretty certain you’ll be blessed if you have a moment to check it out.
I so enjoyed meeting you at BR! Hope the Lord crosses our paths again. Blessings to you in Christ.
Emily, I feel the same. Meeting you was one of the highlights of the conference. 🙂 Thank you for the heads up on Heather’s blog. I look forward to visiting her site this week. Thank you for stopping by and taking the time to share. Blessings to you!
Cathy, these are great! I’m so glad you included Beth Saadati’s blog!!!! Such an important one to bring attention to. I will check out the others you mentioned. Thank you!
Sarah, thanks so much for stopping by. Beth and I have been friends for years and I had the pleasure of knowing Jenna. She was beautiful inside and out, like her mom. 🙂 Blessings from SC!
