We watched three caterpillars transform over a few weeks into butterflies. This transformation is remarkable! If a caterpillar can have such spectacular change then just a small change like reading 10 minutes in the morning can surely be achievable. Here is to you and whatever transformation you commit to! 🙂🎉🦋

I like to literally open new doors like the doors above as well as exploring new towns, churches, libraries, restaurants and stores.
