Blue Like Jazz (the movie)!

I am so excited that Blue Like Jazz (the movie) will finally be hitting theaters in April! I am so proud to be one of the movie's Kickstarter supporters and am thrilled to see a project I was honored to contribute to come to fruition.  The trailer was released last week and the film will be making it's official debut at SXSW...I can't wait to see the finished product!

Renewal of Efforts

Last week I posted this on Facebook:

"Figuring if I post this somewhere people will for sure read it, it will keep me more accountable...I am sincerely committed to be a more communicative friend...especially to those who live really far away! Always worth the time to sit down and write a letter or email..."

The conversations with myself have become a fairly common occurrence.  Those times when I run through all of the friends I've lost touch with over the years because of a failure to communicate, a failure to reach out and connect with the people who have impacted my life and in some way contributed to the person I am now.  It frustrates me that I've let so many people slip through the cracks of my life.

I know that there are people who come into our lives for short seasons.  I've met so many incredible people in the past 6 years and have learned so much from all of them.  In this world of social networking and constant contact, it sometimes seems as though I'm incredibly disconnected from some of the people who have mattered the most in my life.

How do you know when it's time to let someone go? When is it too late to reach out and reconnect?

It seems to me that it should never be too late.  Particularly in a world that enables us to see and talk to people on the other side of the world with the touch of a button.

People are important...and its not every day that someone comes along who makes a lasting impact...those who do are to be cherished...

It's time to listen to my own posting and stop waiting...time to write some letters!
