Welcome to the “Butterfly Blessings” page.

What are Butterfly Blessings? They are little acts of kindness that blesses someones life done for the simple joy of brightening up someones day.
How can I participate? It’s easy, and doesn’t have to cost you anything. We are asking you to within the next 38 days bless someone once (or as many times as you wish) with a “Butterfly Blessing” in memory of Michelle by doing a random act of kindness to someone (even someone you don’t know and something you don’t normally do) to help them out, cheering them up, offering a gift…or anything else that somebody wouldn’t expect…then share what you did and how it made you feel with us so we can share it with others to hopefully make the kindness contagious. Just hand out a *certificate (if applicable) telling them they have just been kissed by a “Butterfly Blessing” and if they choose to, they can too pass it on and bless someone else. * Butterfly Certificates (PDF) print and make copies of. *Card stock works best.
Why the 38 days? 38 days was the period starting June 14 through July 21st when Michelle struggled with her disease of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL)…similar to the time a caterpillar struggles in the cocoon then finally emerges into a magnificent butterfly. An average time in the cocoon is anywhere from 2 weeks to 6 weeks. (Michelle was in ICU and in a cocoon like bed for 2 weeks and fighting her disease for almost 6 weeks). This period is usually very dark and depressing for us and our hope is that hearing all about the kindness being spread all over the world our hearts will be filled with nothing but happy times.

Why Butterflies? We picked butterflies because they only come out on sunny days and usually bring happiness to those that are touched by seeing one. Our blessings are intended to brighten up someones day just as a butterfly sighting does.
