What is your blog about?

Ascending Butterfly – Not just a blog, not just a destination, but an upwards journey! We are a blog on a mission ‘to seek out and share the best sources of inspiration both on and off the web.’

What motivated you to do this blog?

I was having trouble finding sources of inspiration online that extended beyond a ‘quote of the day’. It was either quote of the day or purely religious and while I respect both formats, my needs fell somewhere in between the two. I wanted a place that would apply positive inspirations to my daily living, that would factor in that I am insanely busy and may not have time for a one hour journey into my subconscious mind, and because I couldn’t find it, I created it. I chose butterflies because they have always been a symbol of luck and change for me and my family. They have often appeared to me regardless of the weather or season to let me know change is coming or just before a stroke of good luck. The full meaning behind my site is as follows:

Ascending: rising or increasing to higher levels, values, or degrees

Butterflies: The change from caterpillar though to the chrysalis and emergence as a butterfly is the greatest change in the animal world. It symbolizes significant change in the course of one’s life, personality, or way of thinking.

Together: Putting them together brings us on an upwards journey of change and transformation, isn’t that what we all strive for?

What do you offer the visitors to your blog?

We offer daily inspirations that use focused breathing to bring positive affirmations into your daily living in a way that fits into your schedule. In a way that allows you to live, breathe and visualize your way into the life you both want to live and most certainly should be living. Along the way I share my journey, as a writer, a daughter, friend, a latina, a single girl in a big city, and an aspiring jewelry designer and author; and most importantly, a spiritual being on a mission to empower myself and those around me. We offer a monthly book club, with an opportunity to win the book and share our ideas. We offer weekly moments of gratitude where we share what we are grateful for and ask that readers do the same. We offer honest product reviews. We offer a ‘Today’s Butterfly’ Featured site of the day. We offer ‘Win-It’ and giveaway opportunities. We will soon be offering a ‘Butterfly in the spotlight’ where we feature someone who we feel is a source of inspiration in the way they live their lives.

Someone tell Oprah and Ellen DeGeneres that Ascending Butterfly is the blog that everyone should spend five minutes of their day with everyday! Hmm…isn’t it about time we had a Latina in the day time talk show space? How about a Latina Butterfly?

Gracias!
