365 grateful. 30 days of grateful in video
In Jan/Feb this year I decided to try a video version of 365 grateful. Because sometimes a still shot just doesn’t quite do it!
This is the little video I created with the grateful moments over 30 days… Hope you enjoy! You can find the fun music here: The Bobby McGees.
My current 365 grateful project (shot on the iphone) is coming along well. I really enjoy doing this everyday and the iphone version is very easy, as I always have it handy!! You can check it out at our posterous site.
If you’re interested, I use the: Shake it photo app.
I was so thrilled at the pretty montage Andrew did for me that I asked him to make me one for the Polaroid version of 365 Grateful. You can see this below. So fun to see all these beautiful moments together. Really is amazing to think I have been going on this since 2008.
If you have done a grateful project I would LOVE to see links or hear your stories and adventures with this. It has made such an impression on me and hearing how others find it worthwhile would be lovely!
You and your family always seems to have so much fun.
Your work always puts a smile on my face.
Your videos always make me smile!
your world is so beautiful and fun
Full body tingles! The world is a better place with you in it Hailey. x
you are so awesome. these shots are terrific and i absolutely love the idea of being grateful for something every single day. keeps the positive energy running!
I can’t believe you’ve been at it since 08. Props to you for continuing on with it. You make it look so easy. I tried but gave up. I may just have to try again.
your work is so amazing, i wanna dive in and live in your world. you are an inspiration. thank you.

Your 365 video is just stunning. It makes my heart smile.

Thanks and keep inspiring us all!
This took my breath away! Absolutely amazing, and so inspiring! It’s a reminder that not only do we need to look for beautiful moments, but sometimes we need to go out and create them!
nice job ! did you also use the iphone for the video ?
Thanks for the lovely comments guys!
Tracy, I found it so amazing!! Sticking with the project was hard for the first 3mths but after that i could really see it effecting my life beautifully! I don’t want to stop now!
In April next year it will be 3yrs… I am so pleased to have all these moments to look over and remember!

Guillaume – the iphone i have doesn’t have video so I used my canon 5dm2 however would love to try and iphone one!
Thanks again for sweet comments and visiting my blog! cheers hailey
Crazy beautiful.
These videos are going to come to mean more and more to you and your family some day. I mean, what a gift for your girls to share with their children some day and for you to go back and look at when they’re grown. It’s so incredibly special.
The baby running on the beach, the footsteps in the sand, the girls dancing in their skirts – made me so happy! Thank you…
I found your website as your sister linked the video 30 days. I started 365 as a Facebook photo album this week (with a link to the Notebook article), posting a photo a day to the Newsfeed. Four of my friends then decided to do it too, and their friends are now responding to their posts with joy, tears, appreciation for something positive to read on facebook, and thoughts of doing it themselves. It’s nice seeing people express thoughts about things and people, that otherwise may go unexpressed. I get online, looking forward to seeing what my mates are grateful for that day, and feel part of a kindred growing community, that have chosen to position themselves to look through the eyes of gratitude. It’s only day five, so who knows where it will grow from here.
I just love the video – big smile on my face
oh hailey, you are so absolutely, positively, wonderfully, amazingly talented! what a darling video, thanks for sharing
Hey Hailey! I had a go, I did an August photo project as there’s no way I could commit to a whole year – 31 days was hard enough! But very enjoyable, definitely made me much more observant and aware of the good things around me every day. You can see here:

So I just stumbled across some of your stuff on flickr, and was drawn to the bright colors and happy faces so I checked out your website… I have to say that your pictures remind me of all the good things in the world and none of the bad. Thank you so much for taking these pictures and sharing them. I am very grateful, and am so so glad that I found them!
soooo lovely! Thanks so much for sharing these moments and for reminding us all to take time for gratitude.
