I am sharing this photo after the powerful women’s call this week where this was the topic of discussion. It felt too meaningful not to share. Most of us know that the caterpillar turns into a butterfly. There is an important part of the process that often gets overlooked. Before becoming a butterfly, the caterpillar enters the pupa stage and forms a chrysalis. Inside the chrysalis its body completely breaks down and reorganizes itself into something new. This phase is often referred to as the goo stage. That’s where I feel I am right now. Life has been asking me to reorganize. To let go of old versions of myself, old patterns, old ways of being and to trust what is forming beneath the surface. It’s messy. It’s uncomfortable, but it’s necessary. What’s interesting is that the pupa stage can last weeks, months, or even years depending on the species and environment. In harsh conditions, some butterflies take up to three years before they emerge. I truly believe that’s been my journey. Because of the challenges I have faced, my process has taken longer, but I can feel it now. My wings are taking shape and I believe this is the year my butterfly emerges. So if life feels messy right now remember this is only a stage. Some of us transform sooner than others, and that’s okay. We are all unique. We all have different journeys. Even if the world can’t see your transformation yet, it is happening on the inside. Give yourself time. Trust the process. Your wings are forming. 🦋 #livewellwithshelia #epicyourlife #nevergiveup #ibelieveinyou

I was talking to my friend and mentioned that people are telling me that my children and I have come a long ways and they are impressed by the changes! Our therapist say the same! She told me yes the noises in the background when we talked is much quieter and she can hear that the children are much more relaxed.. Plugging into this course as much as I can has helped me through a difficult journey.. Father (Papa God) is good! All of us are in therapy ,(8 children) and EMDR from trauma and I am looking forward to another year and review back the results!!
