The caterpillar stays in its cocoon imprisoned without food for weeks. Sometimes the caterpillar remains in the cocoon for a month. Inside the cocoon, its body is broken and completely reshaped. Maintaining just a little of its original form. Caterpillars go through many stages of transformations: egg, larva, pupa, and adult. The wings start to emerge, and when it finally breaks the walls of its prison, a beautiful butterfly arises. That ugly insect will never crawl again because now it has wings, and it is going to fly. Jesus resembles the shape of a butterfly, after going through the pain on the cross.There is a caterpillar in each one of us. With each day of our lives we are faced with many challenges and temptations. It took me 29 years to find myself. Each day that God blesses me to see, I continue to evolve as a stronger and wiser man. Great men throughout history were like butterflies. They transmitted their wisdom from person to person helping them blossom. I know who I am today and that's the greatest feeling of all. Once upon a time I was an imprisoned caterpillar, and today I am a shackle free butterfly flying high.
No more "checking for feet." This illuminating guide gets people to tell the truth at the meeting--not in the bathroom afterwards.Almost everybody lies. In one recent survey, 93% of people admitted to lying regularly at work! Why? Because it's safer than telling the truth. Sadly, organizations cannot succeed in this poisonous world of half-truths, strategic omissions, and doctored information.A Safe Place for Dangerous Truths shows how the formal process of "dialogue" can create a safe place to tell the truth.In a lively discussion, author Annette Simmons shows managers how to use this technique to:encourage truth-telling by reducing fearprompting self-examination, and opening mindsbuild trust where suspicion and cynicism held swayinspire individuals to think and learn as a grouphelp groups talk through tough issues and move to collaborative actionTo function optimally, businesses must create an environment where people feel free to tell the truth, no matter how disturbing. Only then can organizations unleash the responsiveness, creativity, and enthusiasm necessary to achieve their goals.
Travel, blood, and transgression are the materials that art shapes in these poems. Carole Simmons Oles’s work moves among physical, spiritual, and metaphorical frontiers where East meets West, where relationships are forged and broken, and where a woman can now process and reflect on the experiences that have shaped her life.

Kevin Rabas, author of Songs for My Father "Tracy Million Simmons shows clearly the moving parts of relationships. Her stories reveal the irreversible ties of family. She shows the push-and-pull between spouses, between parent and child, between dear friends, and we see how we're all recklessly and joyfully bound one to another."
