taking flight

We've all stood at the cusp of possibility, have we not? It's windy there and oh so beautiful {in that butterflies~in~your~stomach sort of way.} With our toes to the edge of anything is possible we stand for a moment, take a deep breath before spreading our wings as we leap into a dream.

You know what? Dreams become reality.

This is taking flight. I now understand that there is endless strength in this. Because this journey of flight results in the overcoming of fears and embracing strength of Self.

And you know what else?
The view is breathtaking: it's life being lived to its fullest.

 

I am honored to introduce my Taking Flight necklace for Bel Kai Designs: The Shutter Sister Capture Collection, now available for purchase. While looking for images, I came to recognize what felt most right. And in looking back over the past two years, I knew I wanted this necklace to join me on my crooked path leading me forward. It's the only path I know {the cyclical dream~jump~fly way i have about me.} This is my journey teaching me that anything is possible. And this necklace couldn't be a better representation of all that I love. Simplicity, beauty, and endless possibility.

I am very proud of this collaboration. And now you can take flight with me with a necklace of your very own! Today, share an image that shows us all that anything is possible. To help celebrate, Bel Kai and I will be giving away 1 Taking Flight necklace.  All you need to do is leave your comment here by 12 midnight PST to be entered in a random drawing for a necklace of your very own!

 Enjoy the view as you take flight!

thank you for all the comments and love! your words have warmed my heart! and congratulations to Beth, the lucky winner of the Taking Flight necklace! yay!

...reminds me of my most favourite song *Cheers* to another bird girl. xx

I am a bird girl now
I've got my heart
Here in my hands now
I've been searching
For my wings some time
I'm gonna be born
Into soon the sky
'Cause I'm a bird girl
And the bird girls go to heaven
I'm a bird girl
And the bird girls can fly
Bird girls can fly

This is a very literal interpretation, but an image that I have been looking at over and over as the rainy NW weather threatens to send me over the edge. I took this image at an Oregon beach recently as the sun broke through the clouds for just a few moments. It was like it was reminding me that it was still there and that blue skies are just around the corner. http://nicoleishida.wordpress.com/2010/06/02/dreaming-of-blue-skies/

[Kathy Jo Camamcho]

That is so beautiful! And the necklace is too.
