I sat in the park on this beautiful day. There was a butterfly that came by and it reminded me of a song by Denice Williams BlackButterfly As children many of us would open up our arms and flap them up and down like a bird or parallel like an airplane. We imagined ourselves soaring. Today I ran through the park with my arms wide open as a butterfly. I allowed myself as an adult to enjoy the open green space of nature.  It was so freeing as I recall the process from which I’ve overcome. To see the light in my own life coming from a period that appeared so dim is a blessing. I see with the eyes of my faith. I thank God I'm no longer in those unattractive days. I was challenged in single parenting, lack of income and dealing with depression.  Whenever you see someone complimenting someone for their beauty in some form just know they certainly have their own story of ugliness. These areas were all related to forces down grading my value.  I’m grateful to have the guts
