I love this quote from a documentary I’m proud of have been a part of, American Blogger.
sometimes there are just words you have to record, and you pick up whatever writing device is near to put it down.
behind every blog is a blogger.
I watched my friend Chris get slammed with criticism for this film. I watched people I respect tweet horribly offensive words about people I love. It’s so easy to judge. to point fingers.
and when I take a step back, I know I do it too.
but this quote, these simple words strung together reminds me that behind every blog is a blogger.
the words you read, the pictures you gaze at, the influence that is spread across this crazy internet world – it’s real. the people behind the art are real live people.
and that reminds me, when I want to criticize, or on the opposite end – envy, these are people just like you and me. real people with real emotions, real flaws, real families, and real hearts.
lets not hate, but love. lets pray that the sweet Lord allows us to see people as He sees them, as His beloved children.
does this give you a new perspective?
Hey, I'm Wynne!
Hi, friend! First, I truly am so giddy that you are here. I want you to know I believe in you and all the ways you are growing towards living a more intentional life. I genuinely hope you are encouraged from our time together here.
A little about me, I’m a type 7 on the enneagram, a total extrovert + people lover, entrepreneur, connector, storyteller, people gatherer, and passionate wife, mama + friend. I feel most alive when I’m exploring new places and surrounded by people I love. Give me a day in the outdoors disconnected from wifi, and I am a happy girl. I run on oat milk lattes, Jesus, gratitude journaling and kitchen dance parties with my four kids.
Welcome, come on in!
So true Wynne! It’s so easy just to read blogs and not realize how much emotion is in a post – that there is a real person behind every blog! I often think this about scripture too – it’s so easy to just read through it – forgetting that those are real people and it’s God breathed!
I love your perspective and your intentional way of showing how to love others well…I also love that this is so true that the blogger I have my arm around I had met less than 12 hours before that because we had connected through blogs and gotten to know each other’s hearts…like yours. I love you, mama.
