If we are all as one, whether as children of God, energy sources or whatever your definition or belief may be, is it not possible to bring more peace to our environments by shining the peace and happiness of our spirit within?

One simple act of kindness has the potential to build into countless acts of kindness.  A smile, a warm greeting, saying please, thank you or your welcome, offering your place in line to someone who appears to have a sense of urgency, taking a few extra minutes to listen to a story or assist someone in need, reminding someone how special they are when they are not seeing it in themselves, say a silent prayer for someone whose spirits are low, and doing so with no expectation of getting something in return, not even a thank you. 

The positive energy we send out through random acts of kindness are like the pebble dropped in the pond, one ring reaches out until it touches another and then sets the new ring free to do the same, and so on and so on. What an amazing power we hold within us to touch lives. 

Now imagine the strength of the power that love and gratitude have when shared with those we love and ourselves!  Showing compassion and reverence, being accepting of our individuality instead of judging, offering and accepting forgiveness, giving of our time, simply listening, knowing when to comfort or encourage, give a hug or space, saying I love you not only with words, but with all that you do, when you choose happiness and embrace the wonder of nature, all others and yourself. 

What can YOU do to help?  Share three acts of kindness each day, one for you, one for another and one for our earth, and do so with gracious humility.

Is a campaign sponsored by HealthHomeAndHarmony.com that is a call to all who believe each and every one of us is accountable for the human dignity of children, women and men in their homes and in the world

Some say, “Home is where the heart is.” Others say, “There’s no place like home.” However, those who have suffered at the hand of violence, are threatened, intimidated or humiliated do not find home to be that safe haven. Instead, it is a place of abuse, secrets and fear, where they are forced into a life of painful silence and lies.  Whether their bruises are physical or emotional is not relevant, as it is nonetheless real.

By joining "voices" there is a greater chance that those who are hurting will find place to go where they may nurture their self-esteem, heal their hearts and hopefully find peace.  Sharing compassion and empathy, while encouraging growth and new beginnings is the primary focuses of this campaign.  Together we can make enduring change in the lives of those in communities. 

The mystique of the butterfly and its intuitive wisdom to trust the peace of the darkness as it aspires to grow, spread its wings and fly free in the light of a new day, is truly one of nature's wonderments.  They are seen as a symbol of hope, positive change and triumph over adversity as well.

These special butterflies and their angels share messages of support and love.... Faith and her angel within tell us...“You are never alone….”  Freedom the Butterfly and her angel tell us "My Wings are Your Wings.....should yours become weary"  Although their angels are hidden within, their presence is still very real.

Whether the Spirit of the Butterfly brings you a sense of peace or strength, is given to someone special who is in need of encouragement or you simply enjoy its beauty and message of inspiration, it is a gift from the heart.  The powerful energy of their "wing wake" is far outreaching and knowingly or unknowingly, as I have experienced first hand, has the potential to touch many lives.

Share this beautiful sterling silver pin or pendant with your mother, spouse, sister, daughter or friends. Give a gift from the heart and one that gives again and again.

Faith the Butterfly is the first in the Spirit of the Butterfly Series™, newly released in April '06. The pendant version of Faith was added to the series in mid-June.  Freedom the Butterfly, the second design in the series, is newly released....July '07!!!!  Spirit the Butterfly, third in the series, is scheduled for release mid-year 2008.

Through the joint talents of two gifted artists and a talented jeweler, the butterflies were brought to life.  The angel within the first butterfly was truly a gift from above, as she simply appeared and was not drawn with intention.  The mysterious evolution of these butterflies is clearly a reflection of the strength that can be found through faith, friendship and loving support.
