"Dear Flylady"- Butterflies



From the Flylady list:

Dear Flylady,

I'm familiar with the concept of butterflies as I'm deaf. The symbol
of deafness is a butterfly, because butterflies are deaf. It means we
don't have to listen to everyone else's criticisms, we are beautiful
as we are, and God made us all beautiful and unique. When we (deaf
people) are growing up, we feel like caterpillars, shunned and
unwanted, but when we discover our identity and accept ourselves for
who we are, we become like beautiful butterflies, admired and loved.

Thank you for sharing another perspective on butterflies - we can turn
our homes from cocoons of clutter into a beautiful garden of paradise!

We are all on a journey, and this blog's reason for existence is to be a place to put mine. From humble suburbian begnnings just north of Dallas to a Catholic unschooler with a passion for faith, lifelong learning, my family and dogs, here I stand before you. Welcome to my world!
Authenticity. That would have to be my theme at present. To enjoy my family, be true to ourselves and our faith and be authentic and enthusiastic about life!

"What children need is not new and better curricula but access to more and more of the real world; plenty of time and space to think over their experiences, and to use fantasy and play to make meaning out of them; and advice, road maps, guidebooks, to make it easier for them to get where they want to go (not where we think they ought to go), and to find out what they want to find out."
