I couldn't decide on a title for this book. There was a day last summer that I saw four Monarch butterflies within a couple hours of each other in different cities. I couldn't sleep that night as I was thinking about the butterflies and how special it was to see four of them and then I started thinking about what they represent. Spiritually butterflies are a symbol of hope, strength, endurance, change, new direction and transformation, it was all similar to what I've been feeling in my own life. That I needed to find my wings again. This book title comes from all the love, loss and healing I've been going through in my life. The rain for me represents sadness but also healing, as the old is being washed away and cleansed with the rain. On that sleepless night last summer, I knew what the title of this book would be. This book not only talks about my own story of love, loss and healing but it's for anyone that might be going through loss and heartache in their own life. Just know that you will heal through the rain and you too will find your wings and transform into a butterfly like you were before. A book of beautiful poetry, quotes, and other thoughts for anyone that needs some hope, comfort, inspiration, and healing.
