Nature's Tiny Magical Teacher's

A few months ago, I took my kids to the Cambridge Butterfly Conservatory. They ran through the place in about five minutes flat, meanwhile, I could’ve stayed for hours just watching these beautiful little flutter bugs do their thing.

Here’s another fun fact: I’ve always loved butterflies. Back in my first year of college, someone asked me in a job interview, "If you could be any animal, what would you be?” Without missing a beat, I said, “A butterfly.”

They told me that wasn’t an animal. I said, “I don’t care, that’s what I’d be."…never got a call back from them. But that just shows everything happens for a reason. I'd rather be curious, light, evolving, wild & free (like a butterfly) than fit neatly into a box.
