Sportsgirl Butterfly Foundation cards! |
| Sportsgirl asked me to design a card that they could sell to raise funds for their favourite charity the Butterfly Foundation!They have sold out quicker than i could put up this blog!But thats great news!So thanks to everyone that bought one!(and my mum who bought ten) x x xIn 2006, Sportsgirl staff from across the country nominated negative body image and eating disorders as the issue that is most important to them and their friends.Sportsgirl is proud to announce a partnership with non profit organisation, The Butterfly Foundation, to promote and address prevention and early intervention of eating disorders and issues related to body image.Check out the websites The Butterfly Foundation WebsiteWhy Butterfly?A man found a cocoon of a butterfly.One day a small opening appeared.He watched the butterfly for several hours as it struggles to force its body through that little hole.Then it seemed to stop making any progress.It appeared as if it had gotten as far as it could and it could go no further.So the man decided to help the butterfly, he took a pair of scissors and snipped off the remaining bit of the cocoon.The butterfly then emerged easily.But it had a swollen body and small shrivelled wings.The man expected that, at any moment, the wings would enlarge and expand to be able to support the body, which would contract in time.Neither happened!The butterfly spent the rest of its life crawling around with a swollen body and shrivelled wings.It never was able to fly.What the man in his kindness and haste did not understand was that the struggle required for the butterfly to get through the tiny opening was God?s way of forcing fluid from the body of the butterfly into its wings so that it would be ready for flight once it achieved its freedom from the cocoon.Sometimes struggles are exactly what we need in our life.If we went through our life without any obstacles, it would cripple us.We would not be as strong as what we could have been.We could never fly. |
