I've seen this around Care2 for some time now.... the more I read it; the more I believe that there is a truth here that bears repeating:

Be the Butterfly! The flap of a butterfly's wings in Brazil could set off a storm in Texas. Isn't that an amazing statement? The "Butterfly Effect" theory suggests that the power released by a butterfly's wings can amplify over time to eventually affect weather patterns thousands of miles away. Now imagine the impact of 4 million butterflies.

Some of my favorites from my "Flora" album...

About Me I was born and raised in San Francisco. U.C.S.B. grad. I've lived in the Bay Area most of my life. I spent about 30 years in R. & D. I spent the last 6 years of the 20th Century in NJ -- disasterous except finding a LOVE of the classroom and New England Falls. I'm now living in Campbell, CA.
It's been a wonderful life... now I've got a new lease on it... going to live it to it's fullest.

May  peace break into your house and may thieves come to steal your  debts. May the pockets of your jeans become a magnet for $100 bills.  May love stick to your face like Vaseline and may laughter assault  your lips! May your clothes smell of success like smoking tires and  may happiness slap you across the face and may your tears be that of  joy. May the problems you had forget your home address! In simple  words . . . May 2009 be the best year of your  life!!!
