On my daily walk this morning, along one of my favorite Cape Cod nature trails, I noticed my first butterfly of the season crossing my path. It stayed with me for a few minutes, eventually landing on a yellow flower in a nearby meadow.
I began thinking about this butterfly – and the transformation it had taken to become one. It reminded me of a favorite quote by beloved poet Maya Angelou, “We delight in the beauty of the butterfly, but rarely admit the changes it has gone through to achieve that beauty.”
Every great transformation – whether personal, professional or creative – involves a process that isn’t always pleasant. There are many twists and turns, lots of creating and adjusting, and a necessary willingness to “see it all through.”
It’s a unique journey that can be described metaphorically, “from caterpillar to butterfly.”

Most of the messages coming our way this time of year are to “be someone else’s valentine.” But what if we took this opportunity to be our own valentine?
Valentine’s Day is a perfect opportunity to connect with the one who can truly bring love into your life – YOU!
Your well-being – emotionally, mentally, physically and spiritually – depends on you.
Since Valentine’s Day falls on a full moon this year, it marks an ideal time for honoring the Inner Goddess within you, celebrating your own wisdom and light. Imagine being able to make a heart-to-heart connection with yourself, one that’s filled with love and gratitude – and giving yourself permission to step into the highest version of YOU.

One of the most powerful films I’ve ever seen is Freedom Writers. It continues to be one of my favorites.
It shows the power of journal writing – and telling one’s story through a voice that is unique to the storyteller. And through the pages of sharing this story, a larger sense of purpose begins to unveil.
For a taste of what the film is about, visit this link and watch the trailer: Freedom Writers
So much could change in our lives and in our world, if we just stepped into the power of our life story – learning its lessons and bettering ourselves in the process.
