I feel incredibly lucky to have such a great group of readers and commenters, and know I have some pretty amazing people visiting this blog. However, I (and other readers) only get small glimpses into your stories; I wish I could sit each of you down, buy you a cup of coffee, and learn more about your experiences in minimalist living.
Even better: I’d love to share your stories with everyone here. I’m pretty sure we’d all like to get to know each other better. To that end, I’d like to introduce a new feature here on the blog: Real Life Minimalists.
If you’d like to be a featured minimalist, simply email me something about yourself in approximately 350-750 words. (I’ll post your words exactly as written, so don’t include anything you don’t want on the internet!)
You can remain as anonymous as you’d like; if you don’t want to use your real name, simply make up a handle (sorry, Miss Minimalist is already taken!). If you’d like to include a photo, fantastic—it can be of yourself, or some aspect of your home that showcases your particular minimalist style.
It doesn’t matter whether you’re a master minimalist, a minimalist-in-training, or a minimalist newbie—we take all kinds here! :-) No matter where you are on your minimalist journey (even if you’re just starting out), we’d love to hear your story.
And if you have a blog, please include your URL and tell us something about it. That way, we’ll all know where to go if we want to learn more!
I’m so excited about this, and hope you share my enthusiasm! If so, all you have to do is:
1. write up an approx. 350-750 word profile about yourself
2. email it to me at ct09 AT missminimalist.com (remove the spaces and replace the AT with @, of course!)
3. include an optional .JPG photo of yourself or home (500 x 500 pixels maximum size)
If you have any questions, simply ask them here in the comments.
I can’t wait to get to know you better!
I love hearing about all of these inspiring minimalists every Monday!
Thank you for doing what you do, Francine. May you continue sharing not only your story but others as well. It’s inspiring.
