"When I think of the monarch butterfly, I am reminded of courage and strength in the face of adversity.

"A magical metamorphosis...from tiny egg to hungry caterpillar to brilliant chrysalis spotted with gold, the butterfly finally emerges a dazzling beauty. Delicate and fragile, yet determined and resilient, it forges its way for hundreds of miles along a migration route of obstacles and erratic weather patterns, compelled to complete its miraculous journey.

"I see the monarch butterfly as a true metaphor;  for the desire in each of us to be our best, to live resiliently, to thrive, to make a positive difference in the world."
