Late posting of a Mardi Gras photo. This is Stephanie from Atlanta.

The Lotus Blossom; "I have my Lotus flower, because it actually represents my life. The beginning of the life of the Lotus flower is down deep in the MUCK and the MUD of water and it actually grows up and OUT of the muck, mud and water and becomes a BEAUTIFUL creation of life. That's why I have mine, life for me did not start out so great but I fought my way through the crap of it all and succeeded."

Butterfly

This one was submitted By Betty who lives in in Pompano Beach, FL.

She said she got this butterfly 2 years ago. The butterfly reminds her that beauty can come from ugly things (caterpillars).
