The Butterfly Effect

"Every single thing you do matters. You have been created as one of a kind. You have been created in order to make a difference. You have within you the power to change the world."

Andy Andrews
The Butterfly Effect

The Butterfly Effect is both an exciting and frightening concept. Scary to think how one little action could impact someone across the world, but exciting to think about the positive change and impact we can make in other people's lives. 

I like to think that Emma will inspire me to do something that makes a difference, something that will make sure she is always honored and remembered. I know for sure that I want to donate items to local hospitals to be given to other parents who will face the tragedy of stillbirth. Books or keepsakes in Emma's name to help them in their journey and let them know they are not alone. 

As I finish this post the positive motivational words are quickly fading and I am getting mad. Yes this is a wonderful idea and can help so many other people, blah blah blah. Emma should be making a difference by spreading her light and love through the life she should have. I guess this is the new war I have to fight...the battle between finding positivity and wallowing in reality.

  1. Sarah, I love that you have this outlet for your feelings. I love your motivation of doing even more good in the world (which you always have done, but now there is an even stronger reason behind it). I also love the truth in your words. Yes, you should also feel that anger that it should be Emma. She is so lucky to have a mother so honest as you: torn between these conflicting emotions but brave enough to feel them nonetheless.

  4. Life has no script - and love has no boundaries! Every word you say (or scream) or feeling you have is necessary and needed . . .

  5. That is a tough, and daily, battle. But through this I know that you're already touching others in such a positive way! Love you Sarah!
