Lovella is the great-great-grandmother to the Townes family generations. It was during the 1800s that Lovella survived a vicious attack by a ferocious feline that wandered from a forest in Asia. This attack occurred during Lovella's third pregnancy of the first male child born into this family. This attack occurred in the backyard of her home while she was roasting pig, a cat ran toward her from the woods and knocked her down to the ground. Her screams were heard, and a pack of wolf dogs chased the feline away. The attack was so vicious it left permanent physical and mental scars on Lovella. The birth of the child was full-term although questioned by the doctor as to why the baby was born hissing like a cat and born with teeth and the "eyes of a tiger." Each time the baby boy named Timothy hungered for milk and food, his cry sounded like a "cat's meow." As the years went by, the child grew to speak well. He would experience temper tantrums all continued past the age of two. The family kept him close to home and never revealed to any family members or friends of the attack that Lovella experienced during her pregnancy. His favorite play area was in the backyard, as he was often seen scratching the bark on every tree in the yard. To this day, his name "Timothy" is embarked in a tree that still stands. There would be nights when Timothy would awaken and go to the kitchen pulling fruits from the refrigerator leaving large bite marks in unpeeled fruits and vegetables. Evaluations and testing from therapists, psychologist, and psychiatrist all revealed that little Timothy was born with a gene that carried a trait in the DNA that all males born into this family in future generations would carry this gene can never be removed.

One moment, one thought can change your day. Less is morewe all have our own interpretation of this phrase, but I liked this one I heard the other day: Less is more: the less you know, the more you learn, and the more you learn, the better youll be. Be happy knowing less, as it gives you the opportunity to learn more. The less you know, the more you learn. In response to requests from both my sales team and audiences, I created a unique phone recording of an inspiring message each day for a year. The project proved so popular (with some calling in multiple times to hear the same message), I decided to publish. This inspirational book is the result. Packed with powerful advice, stories, and messages that I have collected from my own experiences as well as from clients, friends, and family, Butterfly Whispers will encourage you to take a moment out of your life each day just to be. It also includes space for you to write your own musings. Dip in and out throughout the year, and learn to appreciate the small things in life, to feel a sense of gratitude for the things you have, and to see the world from a new perspective. Read it, make notes, and share it with everyone you care about. Butterfly Whispers is a powerful collection of inspiration that will change your day and beyond.
