See Yourself Through a Softer Lens
If Butterflies could speak, what would they say to us?
I asked myself this question a few years ago and it lead me to start writing a book ... a book that's still in progress, a book about a concept I'm as passionate about now as the day I started writing it. Because the truth is, we can be our own harshest critics, when what we really need is kind words and a gentle hug. Who better to give that than a butterfly?
I believe a butterfly's whispered words might inspire you to:
Keep exploring, learning and growing.
Stay soft and sweet, sensitive soul.
I've never had the opportunity to speak to a butterfly, but I've daydreamed about this a lot ... and I think these are some of the things they'd tell us, if they could. I think they'd want us to be gentle, kind and compassionate to ourselves and others, filled with a sense of wonder, joyful in times of plenty, at peace during seasons of struggle.
Maybe this is a silly, whimsical idea, not something most people would think about; but it was intriguing enough to prompt me to start writing a book ... a book about HOPE, finding a way through tough seasons where the aim is simply to survive and carrying the lessons into a future where we thrive.
Consider this your invitation to see yourself through a softer lens. What do YOU think butterflies would say to you right now, if they could speak?
Love and kindness always,
