I don’t think you would be attracted to Princess Sassy Pants if you weren’t being prepared to enter the chrysalis, in the chrysalis, or at some stage of butterfly.
If you’re coming into the chrysalis or are in it, you are probably experiencing a whole lot of life challenges; our life seems to fall apart at this stage, and it becomes clear we will never be able to glue the tiny shards back together. Our old caterpillar world has to fall apart so that we can rise higher. This can be very confusing and challenging because we don’t necessarily know that this is what is happening.
But alas, at some point, we begin to emerge from the chrysalis. We now have these strange wings, still wet and crinkled; we aren’t sure exactly how to use them.
The new life we are entering can feel strange, and yet we feel a deep stirring that this is what our hearts longed for all along. The goals we had and the things we thought were important as a caterpillar no longer make sense. We can’t go back to being a caterpillar, and until we begin to find other butterflies, we can feel like we now speak a language and see from a perspective that others don’t understand.
There’s a period of learning in this new butterfly life. We often think we’ve come much farther than we have at this point, but with deep humility, we will begin to discover that the heights we are now destined to fly are incomprehensibly vast and beyond our wildest imagination.
We become a shining example for all those still clinging to branches that it’s okay to let go…to fly home.

I am a widow of almost 14 months. I lost the love of my life to COPD last year. Today I was making pancakes. As I flipped it over to put it on the plate, I noticed there was an actual smile on the pancake…a very distinct eyes and mouth made by the “bubbles” in the now cooked batter. I laughed, knowing it was a “gift” from my husband, then I burst into tears. I miss him so much!
