ORIGINAL: laborboleta Mine is Portuguese for butterfly. I have a "thing" for butterflies; love their beauty. I collect butterfly jewelry and the like. I also love the words that describe them in various languages (I'm a language geek). I tried using "butterfly" but obviously it was taken and I didn't want to be "butterfly10293848..." So then I tried Mariposa (Spanish) and Papillon (French); no go there either. So Portuguese was next on the list. It wasn't until I got to CM that it occurred to me that the symbolism of breaking out of the chrysalis into a new life was apropos. So, Duskypearls, what is the story behind your intriguing name? Beautiful! Butterflies are so powerful, ephemeral, and transformational. Do you know that in Homeopathic Medicine, there are Butterfly Remedies that speak solely to those with such constitutions? Fascinating stuff. The remarkable Homeopath, Patricia Le Roux (recently deceased), proved many butterflies remedies, as can be read in her gem of a book, "Butterflies." Uh oh, I was afraid somebody was going to ask me about mine. Do you really, really want to know?
