Beloved,
I love butterflies, do you? They have been a powerful symbol for me as I can relate to being in a cocoon, unable to move or express my true self. To become a butterfly, metamorphosis has to occur and to me that meant so many challenges I had to face and then release on my way to being completely free like a butterfly. Enjoy this take by Brenda Hoffman.

A friend sent me this link. It has made many people have tears at the remembrances of growing older and just what is most important in life. I hope you enjoy it.
How do I forgive myself for not being present by Eckhart Tolle? If you wish to forgive others you need to forgive yourself first. Listen to this talk and you will understand the true meaning of these words.

I am now realizing that words (which I value highly, being an author) are the least of the powerful expressions you and I can use. After reading this article, I will now focus more on feeling, emotions and actions. Well said: it takes courage to trust your Silence to be creative, it takes courage to trust your Patience to be powerful and it takes courage to trust your Heart Expression to be received and then manifest.
I wish to leave you with a puzzle and also a smile. Do you know what a Bagasaurus is? Watch this and find out.
Love and Light
