My love of butterflies goes way back to when I was a child. My love butterflies opened the door for my creative juices to flow and instilled dreams for me in such things as the desire to learn to fly, to be a poet, and to be an artist.My friends and family call me the butterfly lady because I have all kinds of butterfly-related items everywhere. I wear butterfly T-shirts, jewelry and anytime I see a piece of clothing with butterflies, I just must buy it. They laugh at me and keep asking, "Aren't you sick of those butterflies yet?" I always answer, "Never!"Ever since I was a little girl growing up in the countryside outside of the Twin Cities in Minnesota, I've been in love with butterflies. I would run after them as they fluttered away showing off their beautiful wings and I would wonder why I couldn't have wings like that. Being a very shy and sickly, child I felt like having wings would give me confidence and power. I wanted to be a pilot so I could be up in the sky with the butterflies. If that wasn't possible, I wanted to be a writer or artist as I loved to write poems about them and draw them.After growing up I met a man who was a flight instructor and he taught me how to fly. Somewhere between the take-offs and landings, we fell in love, got married and had 3 kids. My dream of learning how to fly came true, but I didn't pursue it as a career because my ears are too sensitive to the air pressure and flying caused me a lot of pain. So, I continued working as a typist and then as administrative assistant, which eventually led to me learning computers. After a career of over 30 years of typing, setting at a desk all day, and dealing with stressful deadlines, I developed back problems. I retired early and fulfilled another dream of starting my own business called the Butterfly Connection. I was eventually able to fulfill two other dreams-being a writer and a monarch advocate.Being a monarch advocate doesn't mean you have to have a degree. My knowledge comes from years of reading, studying and watching monarchs as well as being passionate about them. I have taken online courses on the monarch and received a certificate from the Monarch Lab at University of Minnesota.These are other books I have written that are on Amazon:Be Like a Butterfly-10 Steps to Help You Make Changes in Your Life (a self-help book)One Last Flight Lesson (Memoir)My Book of Poetry-46 Poems on Love, Life, and Butterflies (Poems)The Dolphin and the Butterfly-A Lesson in Kindness (Children's book)Love Over Power-A Medieval Mystery (my first novel)This Course Will Teach…Main reasons why monarchs are specialWhy they cause a "Butterfly Effect?"Why we and the ecosystem need them?Why they have economic value?What science uses them for?Their magical metamorphosisTheir magnificent migrationThe monarchs are disappearingMany ways you can helpMake a pesticide free zoneParticipate in local/national events coming upSend plants instead of flowers for special occasionsPlan an event such as a fundraiser or garden party to educate othersWrite to government officials asking for their participationPlant a butterfly garden/register it as a Monarch WaystationGet educated-take free online courses on monarchsRaise monarchs in your own home/become a monarch farmerEncourage careers that will help the monarchsDonate funds different ways/placesMake nominations with monarchs in mindTeach children the power of dirt & the fun of gardeningBecome a monarch advocateVolunteer for monarch programsBecome a Citizen ScientistNow that you know what this course is about, all you need to do is click the link below.Get the video course started so you can learn how to TAKE ACTION for the sake of the monarch butterflies and you.
