Meghan, I'm in love with Jack too. I think we all are. However, I think we all want to slap him or scream at him as well. :)

Jae, I'm afraid that out of the three, Harry is the only author I haven't read. Only because I do like some sex in my stories. Not a lot, but I definitely want it there. :) Still, I know he is a legend in the field, so the compliment is not wasted.

Hi Lilo, thanks for accepting the friend req. and congrats on the great review there! A Harry Dresden comparison would indeed make the heart sing :)

I absolutely agree with George. If we focus on making this earth as good of a place as we can, then those that believe in the afterlife should be well prepared and all people, regardless of their beliefs, will be better for it on this earth.

So many wonderful reasons to like butterflies...

I agree about change and the hope that it gives us. I think society is fortunate to have a cheerleader in you and that we need passionate people to push for societal change in this world.

We all come with different perspectives and ideas about what needs to happen during our time on this earth and there are many gifts to be found in accepting and sometimes even embracing these differences as we unite towards what I feel should be common goals re: being caretakers of this planet.

I'd say I'm more of an Agnostic. I believe in something greater even as I don't have all the answers and don't subscribe to one particular faith though I grew up in one. The spiritual/human journey is such a personal one and it is not for me to tell others what to believe but to benefit from the beauty and grow from the lessons that come with each individual.

Anyways, you're welcome for the tips and glad to help! I've been meaning to get back to you on all this but life's been a rollercoaster as of late. I found this quote from George Clooney online and thought you would appreciate it so here it is:

That is exactly why I like butterflies! (Apart from loving the memories of chasing Monarchs as a young child.) Change is all around us and it gives me hope. I find myself cheering on change in society and in people all the time. I'm a liberal egalitarian and I push for societal change on that front all the time. I hope for the evolution of our species and for improvement of the way we care for the earth. As an Atheist, I even look forward to the eventual change that death will bring me with ease.

Yes, I'm definitely pro change and pro butterflies. :)

Thanks for the tips on images!

Whenever I'm looking for an animated clip, I just type GIF alongside the term I'm searching for.

For example, if you type 'book butterfly GIF' into the Google search box, it will call up a page of butterfly gifs and images. If you scroll partway down the page, you should find the butterfly GIF that I posted on your page. It's just an image on the initial page (with all the other butterflies) but once you click on it, it will be in actual motion.

Please note that not everything you search for as a GIF will be animated and sometimes you may find yourself spending a bit of time searching for what you're looking for. If there is a better way of going about this, I've not learned about it yet! :)

I did a quick search for "live butterfly GIF" and different images and animated clips came up. I found this image though it is not animated - it's still rather pretty.

How neat is that, that you have a thing for butterflies and this image found its way to you from me? When I had no clue? Coincidence? Maybe. Sometimes you have to marvel at how things work in this life...

As for me, I see butterflies as symbols of transformation and they often turn up in my life in various forms like winged signs when I most appreciate the message...

Take care!

Do you have to put in special search terms to come up with animated gifs.

I do have a thing for butterflies actually, so that was perfect.

I search for GIF images via Google with specific ideas in mind. I look for things that I think are beautiful, striking, funny or appropriate in terms of what I want to convey. I usually get a feeling about an image or GIF once I see it, a sense of "Ah yes, this is the one!"

There is some truly incredible stuff out there...

You're welcome. I've been using goodreads for quite a while, but have just started using it to network and make friends. I really didn't know it had so much to offer. I'm glad to meet you!
