It’s Not Until You Fall That You Fly

What do we want for our children? That they not only dream it possible, but also make it possible.

We mustn’t make everything easy for them by giving them all the answers. They must find the answers and fall to pick themselves up again. They must be encouraged to try, try again. If it’s too easy they’ll never learn. Let them experiment for themselves. Give them space to grow.

This said, there’s a song that inspires me so. Every time I listen to it, I feel I can do anything. Let me tell you, I’ve come a long way. I’ve had my trials and errors in my life, and I know that I was the sole person that could change her own life and destiny.

The song? Dream it Possible, on YouTube. Check it out here. So inspiring!

I’m a grandparent, and this video really touched my heart. Don’t we all want them to succeed?

I’m a nature-loving adventurer and children’s book author/illustrator whose life has been an exhilarating journey. Originally hailing from Ottawa, Canada, I developed a deep fascination for wildlife while chasing after wild animals in the swamps. Although I initially aspired to become a veterinarian, my path took an unexpected turn when I relocated to Italy. In Italy, I pursued my passion for nature by earning a BS in Environmental Sciences and Territorial Management. This educational experience further ignited my love of writing about the natural world and its diverse wildlife. I’m an active member of several professional organizations, including SCBWI, 12x12PB Challenge, ICWA, and the Children’s Book Academy. Constantly seeking growth and connection within the industry, I engage with fellow writers and storytellers. Despite my affinity for all creatures, I humorously admit that my nine cats can be the most challenging animals to handle. When I’m not wrangling my feline friends, I spend my time writing, doodling, playing with clay, gardening, and exploring the enchanting Italian countryside with my husband. I also love preparing homemade pasta, showcasing my culinary skills. View all posts by eleanorannpeterson
