Description from Lynn Eileen Chicky LE: This pick illustrates my feelings at this time through symbols -- It is truly made with love! I feel the key to my feeling better is to keep as busy as a bee -- soon I won't feel like a turtle anymore, but will be soaring like a butterfly again!!! I imagine, wish, and believe that time will heal the pain of losing my mother. Most of all, I believe that the love and support of my Very Special Chicks will help get me through this time. I always feel at home here in the Nest -- and, of course, with AquaKitty!!!

I saw her blog post on the daily blog about special stories on our connections in the world. Thanks!
