Fleeting Moments
What would you do if you had just one moment to live? Would you try to make the most of it or would you succumb to the despair of the truth?
There are things in life that are just Fleeting Moments, just like the image above, where you can see just a left over of the bus and cars that passed by, and even though that moment has come and gone, the camera was able to capture but just a tiny bit of what it was and with it capture the beauty of the moment.
What if you never knew happiness and you were left with the option to have a fleeting moment of happiness with no promise to ever feel it again. What would you do with the rest of your life, knowing that that amazing moment may never come back. How would you ensure to extend the joy you felt? How do you make the most of it? Would you cry on your knees as you thank God for that moment? Would you cry with a grateful heart, yet cry and cry and cry? What if it was something even harder to deal with? What if you always wanted a child and they tell you you will have one, but he will die within a year. What would you do? Would you even choose to have it? What if he never dies? What if he does? What if the chances of him living are 10%? 5%? 1%? But 1% is still a chance!!!!
How do you see the future?
All my life I have struggled with not knowing what the future holds, and at the same time not wanting to know the future if it's not going to be what I want. Yet since I came into Christ I have had something a bit different happen. I have this Blind Faith in God. He knows what's best for me. So, that means that if something good happens to me now is because I deserve it. God loves us, and he would never want anything bad to happen to us. So when my thoughts start going south and down a spiral of negativeness then I have to stop myself and say: God wants what's best for me. I will be happy with what God gives me.
So why am I sad? I am sad because I am here January 1st completely alone in my house, and I sulk!!
What if I look back at my life and notice that every single thing that has happened in my life has been a result of other things that have happened. I can trace back things that have happened to me that without them today would not be true. God is supposed to be in charge, if we let him. And I let him.
There are many things that go through my head that I don't feel in the liberty to share here, like my questions on why God gives us what he gives us. My conflict stems from seeing some things and hearing other things that are in direct opposition of what you are hearing, but this time it's the opposite of what people are used to seeing. There's the saying that says: Actions speak louder than words! and it's usually used when a person says things (I love you, trust in me, etc etc) yet acts in direct opposition to those words. But what if it was the opposite? What if a person says they can never love you, yet they treat you as if they did? Does that make sense??? Who do you listen to? The words or the actions? We tend to listen to the negative in either situation, but it makes no sense...But it doesn't matter. We can't tell what is real and what is not real.
But whatever the reason, I don't have to be sad. Tomorrow my girls come back and I won't be alone anymore. We will be able to cuddle together in the couch and do things together!
Wish me safe travels getting my girls back.
Do you ever struggle with crazy negative feelings when you are alone? Do you ever wonder what your life brings? How do you deal with it?

New Structure for Cocoons 2 Butterflies
When I created Cocoons 2 Butterflies, I did it because I was trying to find myself. I knew I had difficulty being true to myself and I figured that writing would help me get there. But that was not my only reason.
I made this page because in my quest to find my passion in life I encountered many other people who like me had lost their spark, and I wanted to be able to help others who where in the Journey to Self Discovery. People who go through life just wondering who they are, living day to day just surviving. I want to be able to help through my writing those people who also find themselves lost.
My third reason for making this blog was because once I became a parent I realized how important the role of a parent is. Our children depend on us to show them to way, to inspire them, to help them identify at a early age what their strengths are so they can develop them. We need to help our children find their true identities, or inner butterflies at a young age so that they can make the most out of every day of their lives.
Finding the best way to achieve this has been difficult, as there is so much information out there, so many things that I am learning day to day. It makes me wonder what is the best way to share all this knowledge with the world.
I am really grateful that since I started writing many events have occurred that have taken me from not knowing at all who I am to being certain of who I am and learning new things every day. Things that I can't wait to share with all of you.
My main obstacle right now is How to organize all this information.
At this moment I am studying several things:
Instant Influence
How to Focus and get the right things Done
Social Media Marketing
Secrets of Good Marriages
How to be more grateful
And I have planned for the future the following topics:
How to discover your children's best qualities and help develop them
How to raise confident children
Principles of the Law of Attraction
Dream Interpretation
As you may see these are too many topics, but they are topics that are constantly in my brain. I am reading, and studying and learning as much as I can about these topics that interest me so much.
I am also involved in the arts and graphic design and wish to learn how to make websites and be a better graphic designer, and also am interested in learning about Life Coaching.
However, I cannot do all this at the same time. I need some structure so I want to get your input.
Which ones of these topics interest you the most?
And what would you find more productive?
To concentrate on a single topic a month? Or have a different topic for each day of the week?
I have made a poll on my Facebook Page and I encourage you all to go there an vote. Your information will help me greatly.
Also if there's any other topic that you would be interested in me exploring, please share it here as well. Thanks to all of you for being so great and helping me out on my quest.
