A little Message can brighten your day
I received this message last night from Helene Hudson, who has been to classes and workshops in the past. When a message can brighten your whole day, sometimes it’s easy to forget it’s the little things that matter the most.
“Hi Julie just wanted to say thanks 😊 🙏
My still life image won the camera Camera Club Challenge High Key....18 entries
I’ve never done anything like this....and your courses helped me immensely...thinking outside and applying knowledge learned. Image was taken in my bathroom, skylight and imagination.
Thank you again 😊”
How cool is that? I love my photography, but I really love the friendships and community that have come from photography. We are a very special community and I adore how I have had a part in that. I really enjoy teaching and sharing my gift with others and it really gives me a warm fuzzy feeling when people tell me how much they enjoyed a class or a workshop or had something fabulous like this happen, because of some small part I played in their photography journey.
Sometimes we do forget its the little things that can brighten your day. So give a smile, say thanks, give a virtual hug (coz real hugs are currently banned), compliment someone (not a fake one, but a genuine one), you may never know how special and just how much that might mean to someone else, lift their spirits, make them smile. In a world currently going crazy with selfishness, give someone a gift.
So, thank you Helene xxo
P.S. Helen….it really is a great photo!
