A beautiful and cute butterfly hanging decor from
Aza
Last June 17, 2010, a lady named Nur Azariah Abu Bakar or simply “AZA” from SPMY (Fab 3) came to Administration and handed me a cute and meaningful gift … A Butterfly !!! It was so sweet of her to give me something to cherish. All the things that my friends gave me whether it be big or small are things I treasure in my life. It tells me one thing…they value the friendship and that counts the most. For me, I show my appreciation by writing something for my friend because it is in writing that I can pour my heart out and show them how valuable they are and they are worth keeping in my memories.

Aza, thank you for the lovely butterfly hanging decor. It syncs with the flowers around me in my cubicle. Butterflies are flowers with wings . Do you know that a butterfly signifies many things :
A butterfly has many meanings and symbolism
1. Butterflies are carriers of our secret wish
From a native American legend, they say that if you have a secret wish, capture a butterfly and whispher your wish to it. Your secret is forever safe in butterflies as they do not speak. Release the butterfly and it will carry your secret to the Great Spirit who knows the thoughts of the butterfly. The act of setting the butterfly free restores the balance of nature and the Great Spirit will grant your wish. Well, I hope my SECRET WISH WILL COME TRUE !… :o)
2. Butterflies symbolize color and joy
The beautiful captivating colors and patterns on the wings of the butterflies are undeniably beautiful. It is beauty and grace.
Butterflies are link to fairy folklore. When they fly they appear to be dancing and sending a reminder not to take things seriously. They have a sense of lightness and joy. It is a reminder for us to get up and move. If you can move, you can dance and dancing brings joy to our hearts. I LOVE TO DANCE AND SING AS WELL ! :o)
A butterfly goes through a process of metamorphosis. It goes through different stages. From egg to larva (caterpillar) to pupae (cocoon) and emerges into a beautiful butterfly. Spiritually, it is a rebirth into a better more beautiful life. This reminds us that we must make some changes when opportunity knocks in our lives and make ourselves a better person…. Beautiful like the butterflies ! BEAUTIFUL INSIDE AND OUT ! :o)
4. Butterflies are associated with human soul
In Greek myth, Psyche (which literally translates to mean “soul”) is represented in the form of a butterfly. Befittingly, Psyche is forever linked with love as she and Eros (the Greek god of love,also known in Roman myth as Cupid) shared an endlessly passionate bond together – both hopelessly in love with the other. Isn’t it GREAT TO FALL IN LOVE WITH THE RIGHT PERSON ! :o)
According to the Greek culture, a butterfly symbolizes the journey of a soul. The soul takes birth, travels through the journey of life, dies and is reborn. It was even believed that the butterfly takes the human soul from earth to the heaven. Thus, every butterfly around, carries a human soul with it.
In connection with soul, we are all on a long journey of our soul. On this journey we encounter endless turns, shifts, and conditions that cause us to morph into ever-finer beings. At our soul-journey’s end we are inevitably changed – not at all the same as when we started on the path.
Many people believe that as the butterfly freely soars in the sky, it signifies freedom and independence. We all desire to fly with the freedom and beauty of the butterfly.
6. To see a butterfly among flowers and green grasses indicates prosperity and fair attainments.
Butterflies can also represent abundance. The Hopi, Zumi, Navaho, Pomo, Piute, Apache, tribes in Mexico and even prehistoric tribes used butterflies to represent the harvest of summer. The Hopi Butterfly Clan allegedly conducted a ceremonial dance called "Bulitikibi," Butterfly Dance, as a plea to the gods for a good harvest. A PROSPEROUS LIFE is what everyone is longing for !
Displaying classic qualities of beauty and grace, the butterfly represents male and female sensuality and femininity. Artists sometimes include butterflies to add a feminine touch to artwork. I LOVE BEAUTY IN NATURE AND ARTS !
8. Butterflies are symbol of love
In Chinese culture two butterflies flying together are a symbol of LOVE
To see them flying denotes a happy love culminating in a life union for a woman. LOVE IS GOD !
9. Butterflies are good luck
Some people say that when a butterfly lands on you, it means good luck. They say the big blue butterflies are too much lucky. MAY WE HAVE GOOD LUCK IN OUR LIVES ! :o)
