Shutter Sisters

taking flight

By

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!

  3. standing on the cusp of possibility for the the first time… in a long time….
    what a beautiful necklace 🙂

  6. Beautiful necklace, wise words – I can’t remember ever regretting taking that jump, which I try to keep in mind when the butterflies in my stomach threaten to eat me up.

  7. oh it’s so lovely – i’ve been wanting to do something graphic inspired by my images for ages and this has definitely got me thinking about it again – gorgeous jewellery!

  9. you have truly taken flight mere! this is beautiful. and as always you are amazing!

  10. This is just beautiful.
    Everyday I come to SS and read these amazing posts and I am truly inspired and lifted up each day.
    Thank you for this!

  12. i adore the necklace. my older sister is handicapped, and our code word with each other is "soar." she must have that necklace to show the world that she really is free.

  27. It is so very beautiful! Love your words. Congratulations on such a beautiful creation – can’t wait to see it in person!

  28. my wings are stretched as far as i can get them, flying over in hopes of winning this necklace…..

    now i need to gather them back in, so i can cross my fingers tightly…..oh how i want this necklace, i need this necklace.

  33. This is a beautiful necklace. Congratulations on the obviously successful collaboration! I’d be so very pleased to wear it.

  34. i love the necklace. simple and full of meaning.

    so nice to know there are others who are cyclical in their journey. "dream~jump~fly" i have to keep starting over, because sometimes i don’t jump high enough, or sometimes, my little wings have not matured enough to go where i was hoping to. i love that this post, this necklace, is a reminder that that is okay… maybe even how it’s supposed to be.

    here is my flight photo. one of my favorites.

  37. Dreams coming true… what would that feel like? … Do I even dare to dream any more? … Is ANYTHING really possible?

  45. So wonderful for you!! It’s so inspiring. I’m working on my own dream right now and so many times I feel so scared I’m going to fail, but I kept taking small steps anyway. What a gorgeous reminder it would be to wear that necklace and give me strength!

  46. Meredith – I love these SO much! They turned out beautifully! Two of my favorite pictures of yours – oh man, I want them around my neck and hanging on my wall. = )

  49. Lovely and inspiring. Some beautiful friends celebrated an accomplishment and an opportunity to "take flight" with me last night . . . looking forward to what comes next!

    toward my dreams. I am going to have
    to get one of your necklaces to
    accompany me on my path!

  60. I love that,taking flight,following passion,,lovely necklace 🙂 Congrats on it!

  64. …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
    [antony and the johnson]
