About The Butterfly Diaries
Hello, my name is Denise, and I overuse exclamation points, smiley faces, and the word “awesome”.
I am generally a fairly optimistic person, but have always suffered from low self-esteem, social anxiety, and general laziness. During the last few years, I have noticed a worsening of these characteristics and a general lack of desire to “be all that I can be”. I now know it is time for a change.
That is what The Butterfly Diaries is all about – change and transformation.
The butterfly is a symbol for transformation, used in early Christianity as a symbol of the soul. In fact, “psyche” is a Greek word used for both soul and butterfly. Other cultures also use butterflies as a symbol of change, resurrection and celebration.
The cocoon is a symbol of potential leading to miraculous change. That is where I am right now – in my cocoon, preparing to emerge as a beautiful butterfly, bringing not only peace and happiness to myself, but spreading joy wherever I choose to fly.
I hope you will join me on this journey where I will tackle a wide range of self-improvement tasks – including physical, emotional, and spiritual. Blessings to all of you………
“May the wings of the butterfly kiss the sun
And find your shoulder to light on,
To bring you luck, happiness and riches
Today, tomorrow and beyond.”
