Women and Girls are like butterflies in a cocoon. We often feel trapped, unheard and unworthy. We struggle to break free from our cocoon and become angry at ourselves when we cannot. The truth is that it takes time and patience to ease our way out of the cocoon that has been forming us. But, if we push gently yet persistently eventually we will see that we were actually beautiful the entire time. We just didn't recognize our beauty within the darkness of our cocoon. Once we saw light we were able to take flight and spread our wings.
