NEW BEGINNINGS

When we catch a glimpse of a butterfly fluttering past us, we find ourselves in awe and admiring its beauty simply for how it is.

Our eyes absorb the color bursting from its wings. We find serenity when it softly lands onto a flower. We admire the way their wings courageously brings itself higher up into the sky.

We cherish a butterfly simply for how it is, without the necessity to fault it for the flaws it may have or for not being enough as it already is. We find inspiration in the journey it has taken to transform from a vulnerable caterpillar to an elegant butterfly.

It is time that we start thinking about ourselves this way as well.

It is time that we appreciate the person that we were when we began our journey. It is time that we value the changes we have endured which brought life to the person that we are today.

We must find faith in the unknown that exists beyond the realm of the present, even in times where we fear this may be all there is left. The journey is only preparing us for more to come.

It is time to embrace a new season of growth and transformation with open arms.
