The Butterfly In You
The Butterfly In You
I started writing this because I was lonely. Not just for friends or romance. I was lonely for myself. For the parts I had hidden or hardened. For the softness I had buried beneath productivity and armor. For the woman I kept tucked away.
​
This didn't begin as a book. It began as a journal.
At the same time, I had started pulling tarot cards, learning to interpret them and realizing how much the imagery mirrored my life. I asked Al about the cards just out of curiosity. It offered a journaling prompt. And somehow, that was the beginning.
Tarot Deck
The cards in The Butterfly in You are designed as a companion to the book—a visual and symbolic extension of the journey inward. Rooted in the first 22 cards of the tarot, they are not meant to predict the future, but to reflect the patterns, emotions, and cycles that shape our lives. Each card acts as a mirror, inviting you to pause, look deeper, and ask more honest questions about where you are and how you’re showing up. With soft, inclusive imagery and a whimsical, ethereal aesthetic, the deck creates a gentle space for self-discovery, helping you move from unconscious patterns into conscious awareness—one reflection at a time.
