I spotted a gorgeous butterfly in the garden today, but noticed it was struggling to fly. As I quietly and slowly moved closer, I noticed there was a piece of it’s wing missing. Regardless, this butterfly fluttered from food source to food source, harvesting what it needed, while helpfully pollinating.
This served as a beautiful reminder to me that, although we might feel broken in some way, from our past, our present, or childhood, we are still beautiful in our own unique way and have a meaningful purpose in this life.
We eagerly welcome pollinators in our garden by creating an environment in which they can thrive in. If you are struggling to thrive where you are in life, it’s important to change your environment or create an environment that lets you thrive.
