I heard it but did not believe it could happen. Until I actually felt it. I was walking off the elevator and out the door when it hit me. I was leaving the building without a piece of my heart 💔. The moment is indescribable. It was surreal. But I was ready. I had been silently preparing myself for a little over 17 years. Plans for my baby girl to leave the nest started on my 22nd birthday. I wanted to do something radical. I wanted to treat myself. So in September 2001 I decided to get a tattoo. It was my present to myself. My best friend took me down South Street and the journey began. As I stood in the tattoo parlor, the very first image that caught my eye was a butterfly 🦋. Coincidence or not?! That was it! The seed was planted. A butterfly! The beautiful creation that goes through development phases before its’ beauty is realized. The creation that starts off as one thing but transitions into something different. The creation that is free to fly, soar, and bring peace
