I truly appreciate the beauty of nature, and I enjoy your eye for capturing beautiful images. You don’t have to post every week; posting every second week or even monthly would be perfectly fine. With so many options to choose from, it takes time to fully appreciate each picture. There are 21 choices to go through, and I can select the images I want to save. The words "love," "compassion," and "community" resonate deeply with me, as they convey a sense of connection and empathy. I really enjoy this aspect of the network. Thanks for being awesome!

🦋 There Is More Than What You See 🌸
This image was taken years ago, yet it continues to speak—quietly, patiently, honestly.
The Monarch butterfly, with its deep oranges and bold black lines, reminds us of resilience and transformation. It doesn’t rush. It trusts the process. Every stage matters. Every pause has purpose.
The pink petals hold softness, compassion, and care—gentle reminders that health and wellness are not built through force, but through kindness toward ourselves. At the center, the yellow and red glow with energy and nourishment, symbols of life, vitality, and the simple acts that sustain us day by day.
And then there’s the detail that’s easy to miss at first glance: the shadow.
You can see only the butterfly’s head and proboscis reflected on the petals—a quiet echo of presence. A reminder that even when we don’t see the whole of ourselves clearly, our actions still reach, still nourish, still matter.
Health and wellness work the same way. Much of it happens beneath the surface—
🌱 the habits no one applauds
🌱 the daily choices made in silence
🌱 the steady reaching for what sustains us
Years later, the reflection is clearer: wellness isn’t about perfection or visibility. It’s about showing up, gently and consistently, and trusting that even the smallest actions leave an imprint.
🦋 Feed what nourishes you 🌸 Rest where you are held
🌞 Allow light, even when you feel unseen
There is more than what you see— and there is more within you than you may realize.
You Are Loved. LIFE — Love Is For Everyone
