Why Butterflies?

The butterfly represents change and the beauty of becoming the best nature intended.

It doesn’t fear change, nor does it fear the darkness of it’s metamorphic tomb.  It trusts the process set for it and proceeds with an understanding of it’s role in nature. When you think of butterflies, what comes to mind? Beauty, peace, freedom, joy, love and fragility.

As humans, we are constantly changing, although we may be unaware of it. Annually, every cell in our body is replaced. Sometimes due to circumstances beyond our control, change happens to us, as in the case of an auto accident, injury or trauma.   These changes are difficult to adjust to since they happened abruptly.   This leaves us distraught, angry, sad and depressed and often times in alot of pain. Unlike the butterfly, we have the ability to choose our path of change and its outcome.

However, we choose to fear change and resist it to our detriment when we can have the courage of the butterfly and accept our changes as something natural as well as a progressive step towards an improved individual. When we do, we will prosper physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually!
