Tonight I watched a movie entitled "The Book Thief". I was not able to see this movie when it first came out but was lucky enough to watch it this evening. If you haven't had the opportunity to see it, make it a priority.
A beautiful yet heart-wrenching story set in Germany during the 2nd World War. Liesel, the female main character endures some very tough life lessons yet along the way finds her voice. She discovers the treasures hidden within the written word.
The movie really impacted me as I began to think about the legacy that each of us as bloggers is leaving behind through the written words that we pen daily. Most of us blog about topics relating to our professional life yet we get to know one another through our comments and our personal topic posts. Our words are forever digitized for others to read.
The impact of this thought has put me into some deep thought this evening. As we each collect our thoughts, create posts and write, we are allowing a tiny bit of ourselves to be shared with others. What an amazing gift.
Long after I am gone, my children and my grandchildren should they choose to read through my posts may learn a lot about me that otherwise they might not have known. The written word is powerful, personal and it is a true gift to others. Never take your blogging efforts lightly.
Blogging is truly a way to leave a legacy one post at a time! Happy blogging my friends!
