All great achievements require time.

Break free of your cocoon and give yourself the freedom to fly.

Try to be a rainbow in someone’s cloud.

Don’t conform to the world. Be like the butterfly and transform.

I’m not a writer who teaches. I’m a teacher who writes.

Perhaps the butterfly is proof that you can go through a great deal of darkness yet still become something beautiful.

There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.

I created myself. I have taught myself so much.

Music was my refuge. I could crawl into the space between the notes and curl my back to loneliness.

I learned a long time ago the wisest thing I can do is be on my own side, be an advocate for myself and others

I am grateful to be a woman. I must have done something great in another life.

A season of loneliness and isolation is when the caterpillar gets its wings. Remember that next time you feel alone.

Butterflies know the beauty of change.

Just when you think your life is done, you transform into a butterfly.

Just when the caterpillar thought the world was over, it became a butterfly.

Metamorphosis takes time. But the change you get is worth the wait.
