This page was originally supposed to be a Tam assignment for Life Book 2014. Representing ourselves as an animal that represents growth and strength. But I didn’t feel like drawing any animals.
At the time, I was taking several big leaps of courage and I was thinking a lot about being brave so I decided I wanted to draw this girl leaping from one side of a cliff to another. I wanted her to be doing it gracefully, fearlessly, joyfully. Alas, my drawing skills aren’t that advanced. I tried and tried and this was the best I could end up with. I don’t love it but I also don’t hate it.
It says: the courage is in choosing to leap, not in the outcome, so celebrate the leap.
I wanted to remind myself that bravery is not about not being afraid. But it’s also not about the outcome. It’s about trying. Being willing to try. To jump without knowing what’s on the other side. To have faith.
This is a good one for me to remember as I go on my journey of being brave this year.
Note to Self is a project for 2015. You can read more about it here.
The Quote is good…the drawing is good….can you Share what you will Post in the “you Choose section” on the right…Or ist this where the Carved stamps go?
I love your Blog…yours is the only one left from the Scrapbooking world, that I read. I love how you always actively seek growth and personal development….you are my inspiration. I am happy to have shared core desired feelings with you 🙂 – a small thing I was able to return -although not my invention – I love how you implement the concept.
Thank you for your kind words, you’re so so kind 🙂
and thank you for noticing that “you choose” link was broken! I fixed it now. It is supposed to go to the collage pages in my “you choose” book 🙂

I think the quote says it all.
Oh, I love your page ! The sentiment, the movement, the colors, it really looks like she’s taking a leap, and she does it so gracefully !
I’m aspiring to celebrate the leap as well 🙂
