I couldn’t agree more with famous writer Gorky when he said “books are the ladder of human progress.”  Books are our greatest friends, they give us the opportunity to travel through time, to take a glimpse at various perspectives and discover new things.  Ignorance and mediocrity are something which can be eradicated; one doesn’t need to be wealthy in order to expand one’s mind, all that is required is the absolute conviction to want to learn new things and to develop a little bit more each and every day.

Books make great gifts because they have whole worlds inside of them. And it’s much cheaper to buy somebody a book than it is to buy them the whole world!
Neil Gaiman

I wrote Reflections of a Mad Butterfly for those whom despite the pain, fears and many of life’s challenges, still burn with passion. It is for those who have made to feel ashamed for exposing the rawness of their soul. This book contains my reflections on life, inviting you to have a glimpse of my mind and soul; hoping you find the comfort and strength you need to ignite your own fire, your rebellion, your beauty.
As you will find in the reviews within this book, Reflections of a Mad Butterfly is simple and unapologetic– like most beautiful things are; showcasing the perfectly imperfect human soul–it is meant to help you remember your divine humanity and reclaim your power. 

I also would like to share with you, a list of a few books which I personally recommend to anyone seriously interested on a well-rounded journey of Self Discovery and Self Development.  I wish you all the best as you dive beneath the layers of false conditioning.
