☆ Height [illustration friday]


'She had big aspirations, but she realised she was afraid of heights.'

Deep in the secret room of my heart I am afraid. I am afraid of reaching and climbing to the next tree branch. I think it's time to leap from my perch and trust that there is a soft landing. I think it is time to stop fearing, and to climb higher, and to stop fearing the heights. I think I am nearly brave enough to do this... Nearly. 

Have you leapt recently? Maybe you could share your brave stories to inspire those of us who are fearful of the leap?




P.S Tomorrow's the last day to enter April's GIVEAWAY. Quick! Quick! Click here to enter.

  1. Wonderful illustration. I guess it is difficult for us to leap to the next tree because of the uncertainty of things but sometimes we have to otherwise we will never know!

  3. you asked for stories...
    we always dreamed about wandering the USA "some day"...but it was never the right time, and we needed to save up for it, and we needed to invest wisely, and we still had kids at home, and we needed to save for retirement, and what would others think, anyways?
    and then my husband got cancer with only a 20% survival rate after treatment (still cancer-free 5 yrs later-YAY!) followed by the unexpected death of one of our teen sons...
    We suddenly realized there might never be a "good" time to do this...and that "some day" might never happen...
    So we bought a big pick-up truck and a 32' fifth-wheel trailer and went on the road for 9 months with our 2 youngest children. It was a wonderful, life-affirming adventure that was worth every moment and every dollar!

    So...DON'T WAIT...MAKE THE LEAP! Let go of that death-grip on the tree branch and see where you land...

      But I am so inspired that you took the most awful of situations and had the most amazing experience, one of a lifetime, and you are so right. It is time to leap. Thank you for sharing your courage. x
