Today was full of magic and surprises, without a doubt!
Last evening, I was reading the incredible prose and poetry of Thorsten Becker at his site Alternate:Words. His latest entry on autumn totally captivated me and I was compelled to post a comment. Let me say his writing is such a joy and welcome adventure. He is a writer who relishes language, its sound and shape and nuances and feelings. I’ve had such pleasure reading his thoughtful pieces, each accompanied with one of his visually arresting photographs, which are stunning and perfectly enhance his written word.
Well, Thorsten was kind enough to not only respond to my comment, but to visit my website and look at my photographs, which he mentioned in his reply to me. So very thoughtful and appreciated, and really an honor because I admire his work so much. No, I would say, I need his work.
Oh, my, but what I didn’t know is that he mentioned my photography to his wife, Holly, whose own blogs are, as you know, the divine Decor8 and delightful Haus Maus. Holly also does a regular column for Real Simple, full of wonderful tips and ideas on decorating, organizing and so much more. And… today… she featured…ME!!! (click here!)
To say I am over the moon is an understatement! What an incredible surprise and honor!
I just want to say a huge THANK YOU to Thorsten and Holly, for so many reasons. They are incredible creative people, dedicated to enhancing life with beauty and the joy of the written word. Their professionalism shows in everything they do and what they communicate is so heartfelt and sincere. They both took the time out of their busy lives to acknowledge my work and give me an enormous boost.
Treat yourselves and visit their blogs, and get to know these very special people.
