If you read any other blogs…I’m sure you have heard that it is National Delurking Week. Being that I have been traveling for the last week, and will be gone for another week, I probably won’t post any blogs for a bit.
SO, it’s YOUR turn to “blog my blog”. I would LOVE to hear from all of you that read…where you are from, your interests, how you found my blog, etc. Basically anything interesting you can think of. This is especially for those of you who never comment…but I want to hear from my regulars as well! I am so encouraged by all of your comments and I appreciate you so much!
Have a blessed week…

Wow Sara, you are an amazing gal. See how much impact you have on all of us with your posts, I love it!
My name is Becca, I’ve introduced myself before. I found you through Kristen M. and Ashley H.’s myspaces. I live in Boston with my husband Travis.
It always amazes me how the topics you post about are exactly what’s been running through my head. The Lord works in mysterious ways!
Much love to you all.

Well, I’m joining quite a rank – I’ve popped by often to hear what you have to say, and I always appreciate it, and I can see that others do, as well.
Thank you for sharing your life!

Hi! I’m Allison, 26, from NJ, now living in Frederick, Maryland (and at work right now just outside of Washington, D.C.). I can’t remember how I came about your blog, but I’ve been reading it since, maybe, September, and just caught up yesterday on everything Bella
Read Happy Foody too.
As for me, I’m an architectural draftsman, and an actor. Also love to paint, sing, dance, create, live!
I’ve definitly been inspired by you with ideas on how to compact my life and live a greener, more earth-centric, self-aware, respectful life. My most recent change has been buying bulk and storing everything in jars in my pantry. (Also made most of my Christmas gifts this year. What a fun time!)
I had never heard of Bozeman before, and I was watching something on TV that mentioned it. The first thing I thought was, Oh wow! That’s where Sara lives! It’s so crazy…I don’t even know you, but you are definitly affecting my life in ongoing ways.
Congratulations on your move, (and the new hair!) and much love to your beautiful family!
~allie (p.s…hope you don’t mind, but I have a link to your blog on mine. just want to share your writings with the people i know

I have been reading for a few months. I found your link on a frugal message board. Since I started reading I have been so much more aware of the mark I am leaving on this earth. I have stared recycling, bought cloth trash bags, started buying more organic foods and will have a garden this year. I love how you share the Christian message in a non-preachy and positive way. I can’t wait to read more about your life in Montana.

Sara,
I was telling my husband about your blog and how diverse you were and accepting [i.e. not liking the cussing of one your fav singers but like the message].
So, it made me put on Sandy Patti, who’s voice I love…and peruse your site some more.
I laughed outloud at my prejudices, thinking you were a somewhat *conservative* person, whatever that means in my brain…and found the pictures of your conversion to dreadlocks. ha! They are lovely…hope you still have them.
Did you knit the scarves you wear with them?? I’m now learning to knit. I need help..the book isn’t very clear!
I told my husband, if it wasn’t too cold, I’d love to move to Bozeman when we retire or sooner and rent it out. It looks so civilized.
Here in CA we have 5 lanes of traffic just 3 miles away.
I’m ready for less cement.
Thank you for working so hard at getting so much fabulous information out.
I have a lot to learn and I appreciate viewing life from your eyes…the simplicity, the love of God and the willingness to be willing to “what’s next.”
Bella is a real kick. I adored the conversations you posted. Made me laugh.
All the best to you.

Not sure where I found it but it may have been from a google search for something or other. *lol*

Hi Sara!
My name is Melanie. I’ve posted a comment or two here before. I found you blog from your siggie at MDC. I’ve been reading it for quite a while now. I love reading your blog b/c so much of what I want to do in my life you are already doing. I find you to be so full of life. I think it’s great that you are able to truly be who you are; so many of us find it hard to put our true selves out there, as you seem to do. Before reading your blog I didn’t realize that there were others out there who were very much into AP and also devoted Christians; You are very inspirational and I always look forward to reading your blog entries and your posts on MDC!
Melanie (MelanieMC on MDC)

Sara,
I found your blog on MDC and I have been sooo inspired. We lived in a really small apartment (500 sq ft) in seminary and have now “upgraded” to a 1600 sq. ft. house. We love our house, but continue to strive to live simply and free of “stuff”. We may not be quite as “crunchy”
, but I love seeing how you intergrate familiar books we love (Dave Ramsey, Ann LaMonte, etc.). You should read Wendell Berry, you would like him too. Thanks for your inspiration! Meredith

I found your blog through a homeschool forum. The funny part is that I kept checking back and thought you had quit writing because I didn’t see any new posts. It kept coming up on the same page in October. Thankfully I finally clicked and found your new ones!

I don’t know how I found your blog… I’ve been to it a few times over the past several months. Then you came up at GCM… but you’ve been on my ‘list’ of blogs I love.
Nice to ‘meet’ you.

Hello~I found your blog from mrs catherines site. I am completely fascinated by you. I am a born again believer, but sometimes I go the other way on enviromental issues, because I think there is some extremism, and I don’t want to be associated with that. But you seem to have found a balance. I think that is wonderful. and just going through your site, i would love to know where you got your quilt. Did you make it? I will keep reading. God Bless

OK…I am incredibly late! But here goes!
I’ve been reading your blog since August or September of last year after reading your posts on MDC. In October I began the Compact. However, I soon fell into a deep depression and gave up blogging and most everything. A few weeks ago, I came online and began reading your blog along with some others. I also began to pray again. You played a part in lifting me out of the depression and now I am hopeful again. I’m back recommitted to the Compact and in establishing simplicity both within myself and in my surroundings. Having a family of 5 (including a teen and pre-teen) in an 800 square foot apartment isn’t always easy, but through a simple and natural lifestyle, it can be awesome! May God bless you and your family and watch over you always.
