The Butterfly Effect?
The idea originates from the flapping of butterfly’s wings being the catalyst and starting condition of a much larger event. Our lives are actually an ongoing demonstration of this theory. Understanding the interconnection of everything is key. A present action would have been caused by a previous circumstance. And this same action will be the cause of a future one. The smallest step taken can change the course of life completely. An act of kindness allows for another, linking all of us in unimaginable ways. Small turns of empathy are a fundamental concept of feeling the suffering of others, entailing harmony and shared feelings of compassion.
As one of over two-dozen contributing authors, I personally immersed myself in the radical honesty and candor shared within the “linked” collection of sacred stories of transformation found within this book. Along the way, the magical words of Dr. Brené Brown came to mind;
Owning our story can be hard but not nearly as difficult as spending our lives running from it. Embracing our vulnerabilities is risky but not nearly as dangerous as giving up on love and belonging and joy—the experiences that make us the most vulnerable. Only when we are brave enough to explore the darkness will we discover the infinite power of our light.
Not only have each of the amazing authors “linked together” within this collection of stories embraced their vulnerability, but they have indeed taken that life-changing step of moving from chaos to clarity – by both exploring their encounter with darkness, and then bravely sharing the infinite power of their light with the world. As relevant as they are relatable, their words will touch you, the stories will change you, and you’ll tap into a strength you didn’t know you had.
With the holiday season now upon us, give the gift that can help friends and family discover renewed hope for the future.

CHAOS TO CLARITY – SACRED STORIES OF TRANSFORMATIONAL CHANGE
I agree that this is a ‘linked’ collection of stories, Dennis. I was invited to contribute only 2 weeks from the deadline, when the title hadn’t yet been chosen and I had no idea what other authors had contributed. So, when I saw the book cover and read the other mentions of the butterfly metaphor, including in the intro by Bernie Siegel, I guess I shouldn’t have been surprised at the synchronicity with my chapter (Growing Wings). I love imagining how all of these stories are wings lifting people through their own challenging transitions. Thanks for being such a champion for all the writers! Sora Garrett
