Summary

Pamela Oglesby has chosen a butterfly charm to represent herself, symbolizing transformation, spiritual messages, and fertility, as part of a writing challenge prompted by Lynn L. Alexander, and she reflects on the connection with her deceased parents.

Abstract

In response to a writing challenge posed by Lynn L. Alexander, Pamela Oglesby selects the butterfly as her personal charm, drawing from a list of charms and their meanings. The butterfly represents the ability to receive messages from loved ones in spirit, as well as transformation and the fertility of the earth. Oglesby shares a personal connection to this symbol, feeling that it allows her to remain in touch with her parents who have passed away, especially her mother, whose presence she has sensed since her passing four years ago. She expresses her belief in her mother's continued guidance and support. Oglesby also encourages readers to engage with "The Challenged," a platform featuring daily writing challenges throughout December, and acknowledges a list of fellow writers whose stories she recommends. She invites readers to become Medium members to receive notifications of her new stories or to support her by buying her a cup of coffee through Ko-fi.

Today’s prompt by Lynn L. Alexander is: “If you had to choose a charm to represent yourself, what would you choose?”

My Charm Is A Butterfly

I found a list of charms and their meaning, so I chose a Butterfly. This charm can receive a message from a loved one in spirit, transformation, fertility of the earth. I have always loved butterflies, so this is the perfect choice for me. I do not know what Lynn had in mind for this prompt, but I am comfortable with my choice.

I believe this means as a butterfly I can receive a message from my mother or father as they have both passed away. I have always felt the presence of my mother since she passed away four years ago. I miss her and I think she might still try to guide me.

Read The Challenged where the prompts from our writing challenges are beautifully expressed. There is a daily challenge for each day of December.
