This all started on July 30th, 2007 when I met for coffee with a outrageous young lady.  When I first saw this woman’s picture, something inside me said I had to meet her.  Don’t get me wrong, it wasn’t anything romantic.  Rather, it was something more of a spiritual nature.  I just knew that it was time to and I was meant to meet her. 

Well, we met over coffee and my intuition was right.  We were destined to meet.  During our chat, I was touched and inspired by her life story and the strength of her convictions that allowed her to conquer her childhold illness and limitations.  This was a woman I could relate to.  You will see why in a moment.  In short, my tuition to meet her was bang on, so much so that by the end of our 2 hour coffee we had verbally agreed to co-produce a film based on her song, Butterfly which was inspired by her life struggle.

I have now co-produced this short 4 minute movie in collaboration with Cindy Ashton.   The Butterfly Movie is a pictorial journey into Cindy Ashton’s ‘Butterfly’ song inspired by her personal life story.

Cindy Ashton was born with a 20% chance of survival… She survived 3 heart surgeries.

The doctors told her not to push herself or strain her heart… She became a professional dancer anyway.

Her childhood illness left her with a damaged lung…She became a singer anyway

You’ll hear Cindy Ashton sing…the song, Butterfly in the Movie.

Today as an adult, Cindy is off medication, in minimal pain, dancing freely, singing like an angel and truly enjoying life in the spirit of the butterfly.

The ‘Butterfly’ song reflects the spirit which carried Cindy through her turbulent journey. It is a theraputic story full of hope and healing meant to be shared with others and spread throughout the world.

You can view the Movie at http://www.thebutterflymovie.com (click on ‘Watch the Movie’ at the top right of the website).

Please do watch this inspirational movie and share it with your family and friends.
