“The Butterfly Doesn’t Know” — Why We Need Reminders of Our Own Beauty
Reading this post on Instagram made me wonder how often we’re just like that butterfly. We move through life carrying colors, talents, kindness, and quiet strengths we don’t even realize we have.

Wrong Soil, Right Lesson
We’ve all been there—pouring time, energy, and heart into something that just doesn’t grow. A relationship, a job, a dream, a partnership, a project.

Mistakes happen. Some small, some seismic. But here’s the truth no one says enough: your next move matters more than your last mistake. It’s easy to get stuck in the loop of regret—replaying what went wrong, what could’ve been, or what you should have done. But growth doesn’t live there.
