"Butterflies are like women. We may look pretty and delicate, but we can fly through a hurricane."

The butterfly symbolizes resurrection or rebirth. What starts out as a squirmy, wormy looking caterpillar, transforms through the process of metamorphosis, after emerging from a chrysalis where it spends time developing into a beautiful butterfly. My story is one of that process, and I spent many years inside my chrysalis, preparing for my transformation.

This is a story of resilience, faith and encouragement. It is my prayer that you can benefit from my experiences and gain encouragement to endure your own storms.
