With that being said, I decided to feature 'writing' blogs, as an addition to the usual stuff I do, i.e. to feature photography blogs. These will be those who will make it to my daily reads, those who I will feel deep love and share connection with.
Here's to my commitment to write two posts a day: one to feature a photographer, and another to feature a writer. Because...
It's unfair not to share these geniuses to the world. Or this virtual world, at least.
THXTHXTHX: A thank you note a day
From the blog:
"There’s always something to be thankful for. From the important things like Songs You’re Embarrassed to Like, and Heavy Eyelids that Tell You When You Need to Sleep, to friends and family, love and loneliness, light and darkness, Leah Dieterich sets out to acknowledge them all. thxthxthx is her daily exercise in gratitude.
Leah is currently a creative director and writer at an advertising agency, and her work has been featured in Archive, the One Show, the Effies and more. Her short film Prioritaire, about a series of confessional letters that form a relationship of sorts, was an official selection at the AFI Dallas Film Festival among others. She is proud to have a story in the new book Cassette From my Ex: Stories and Soundtracks of Lost Loves, which was published in Oct 2009 by St. Martin’s Press. She lives and works in Los Angeles."
Isn't it a relief to say thank you to someone [or even something] you feel like you owe [even the tiniest bit of] your everyday to? That they, in their own way, have helped you survive life? Have told you to 'keep calm and carry on'?
THXTHXTHX is all about that, and more. It shares to the world the joy of being grateful. It has this certain warmth that will make you smile, despite the bad day you are [hopefully not] having. Leah's thank you notes will make you stop and take note of and be appreciative of the little joys in life. Like what it did to me. To this cup of coffee, in particular.
