THE CHALLENGE:

In 2012 we challenged you to write 12 letters of Gratitude to people that influenced your life. Many of you did this and wrote amazing stories of the experience.
This year 2013 we are focusing on BEING PRESENT. This is your life. Each day is a gift. You can't turn in yesterday for more time. So make the most of each day and continue to be grateful and embrace life! Be Present! We are changing the world...ONE DAY AT A TIME!

Dancing butterflies...

They find me everywhere I go...Dancing butterflies.

I recently googled "The Butterfly Project" to see what I would find.  I didn't 'coin a phrase' evidently because there were all kinds of projects called the butterfly project.  However, as I am sure it is for each of them...for me this project is so personal.  This week I am finally (after four+ years) trying to go through all the papers, and file folders left after my mother's passing.  On her death bed she promised to send me butterflies and she has.  She has sent literal butterflies and figurative butterflies.  She has sent me love, friends, hope, strength, comfort, memories and joy.  This project name seemed fitting because it is the way I am embracing and sharing all the love she gave to me.  How often we scurry through this life quickly and so unaware of everyone around us.  This is a chance to breathe in and absorb all the good of those we love, admire and get our greatest strength from.  I am so very grateful for my parents and the feeling they instilled in me...That I could FLY!

Changing the world...ONE letter at a time!
