I believe you reach for the stars – keep reaching my friend. I was on my computer. I always use chrome and read post on my computer. I bet it was stunning. I even cut my VPN off. I think it is wonderful what you are doing. No one can ever take those experiences away from you. Blessings to you my friend. ❤️🤗

Absolutely, the Himalayas are truly a sight to behold, and paragliding over them was an experience of a lifetime. I’m really sorry about the pictures! Maybe try opening it in the browser. (But FYR, I was having one heck of a time in those pictures, you can see snow-capped mountains behind me 😅😅) I’m glad you agree about taking chances and stepping outside your comfort zone. It’s definitely something I’m passionate about.

The scenery at that height and in that area must have been so incredibly breathtaking. I admire that you took the leap, I was disappointed I could not view the center pictures for some reason. I tried a couple of things but I can imagine just how beautiful it was. You were very brave to go for it and I am sure you will remember it for the rest of your life. I agree we have to go for things that we are often afraid of and one big reason to do so is to not have regrets that we did not try new things. Many blessings 🥰

Love your spirit, Cindy ❤️ Fear is definitely a big, fat liar. New things keep us young. So keep pushing those boundaries.

Trying new things is always the paramount for keep open and fresh. I’ve found my body saying no more noticing certain limitations… but I’m working on it! 🩷

Next month I’m actually trying highlining near the French Alps! Ever heard of it? It’s basically slacklining between mountains…at crazy heights. Wish me luck! 😃

Wow, that sounds intense! Jumping off a 100 feet is no joke 😲. Glad you made it back safe and sound. Here’s to many more ‘safe’ adventures.

I never did this, but I jumped off a 100 foot bridge. It was scary because unlike jumping into a pool I was in the air a bit too long, then once underwater, it took forever to come up. THEN I had to fight a current swimming back. I was going nowhere and someone came out to rescue me.
