Transformation

The fiveplustwo theme this week is Ethereal. As a member of the Monarch Teacher Network,Monarch butterflies are very important to me.They are also my spiritual totem animal for personal transformation. A selfie is wayyyyy out of my comfort zone,but I am determined to try new things! Thank you everyone for the wonderful response to "My Dark Side" from yesterday.I can't believe it made it to the PP!This is such an amazingly safe place to try new things !You are such supportive friends!

I'm impressed! I hate selfies and am not that creative in thinking of different ways to do them, so this is an amazing shot to have created!

@cindyloo OMG! I LOVE bats! Don't even get me started on the horrible disease they are facing.One if my good friends is a bat rehabber.

[Cindy]

@mzzhope TOO FUNNY!! Ok - we were meant to be friends for sure! LOL I'm a bat fanatic. Hey---if you get a chance (if you don't already know about it) check out www.starrlightjewelry.com. She's out of Hawaii and makes jewelry to help support her animal rescue---but she does bat jewelry too and those proceeds go to Bat World. :) I need to find you on facebook!! LOL
