What’s it About?

tbs, the butterfly silhouette,

The Butterfly Silhouette is about following your soul so that you’ll be who you’re meant to be.

The book begins with an allegory about a heroine caterpillar who doesn’t believe she can be a butterfly. With the aid of a mentor butterfly, she finds the courage to crawl through 12 Principles of Metamorphosis to the life that’s waiting for her. 

The first half of the book is a lyrical ride in Seussian rhyme. The book’s second half teaches the 12 Principles for following your soul.

Where This Book Came From

In my 30’s I was happily married, starting a family, and working as a computer sales rep for IBM.  However, I was bored at my job and spiritually hungry, like many women approaching 40.

I read hundreds of self-help books, walked on coals with Tony Robbins, and searched within my Jewish roots for a deeper sense of myself and where I fit into this world. 

Then, in my mid 40’s, my husband passed away.  We had two sons, ages 11 and 17. Six months later, in the middle of the night, I “spontaneously” wrote an autobiographical tale about a caterpillar who doesn’t believe she can be a butterfly.

This book came to me because I’m the perfect person to give a voice to how deep our longing goes to know and fully experience the life that’s meant for us. 

I represent many others who are healing, seeking, and wonder if the universe has a spark of intelligence. If this is you, let this book guide you to your soul’s fullest expression.

Praise for the 1st edition

  • I will read it countless times

    “My emotions took me on a roller coaster ride. I got goose bumps, cried, teared up, butterflies in my tummy and many other emotions I find hard to describe. A “parable in verse” is descriptive in a way that is so exquisitely written that all you want to do is soak up every word, every detail, every poetic verse and savor the moment of feeling whatever that may be for each individual reading The Butterfly Silhouette. When I met the author, in some magical way, she made me want to be a better, richer, fuller more robust human being. Some people refer to it as ethos, to me, she has an enormous gift.”
    ~ Eileen K.

  • It was a profoundly visceral experience

    “When I read the book the first time I felt such an intellectual understanding of change, loss, and grief. Then I read the book out loud and it was a profound visceral experience. She has a gift of putting words together in a unique and compelling way to describe life’s journey. Loved it and look forward to her next publication.”
    ~ Kel

  • Beautiful and inspiring

    The Butterfly Silhouette took me on a journey of imagination and tranquil perspective. The metamorphosis connects us to our own personal experiences and challenges as we go through life and decide the path we take. Dr. Seuss would be smiling along with the rest of us as the author connects this beautifully written parable with wonderful ryhme and reflection. I loved every sentence of this book and appreciated the 12 principles of metamorphosis she shares with us at the end of the book for personal reflection. c
