Tired to see the world always gray? Wanting to do something to change your day and other’s too? Here’s a simple receipt: fold a piece of paper, write a beautiful phrase dictated by your heart and leave it no matter where. Hope somebody find and read it and be happy. You just came to change someone’s day, maybe life. And you did this also for you, you spread a bit of your inner feelings, a bit of the best of you…

The Butterfly Effect Project

The Butterfly Effect Project was born on a rainy day of November, flying from Paris to Rome. The mood on the plane was not so different from the rain outside. The pilot begun to speak in a smooth voice, saying simple but beautiful things to cheer up the passengers and the crew, trying to change the rain on a sunny early morning. And without knowing him he brought light to my heart and changed my day with simple messages of happiness and sense of humour.

How good it would be if we could meet always good messages (as the pilot’s ones) at the moments we most need to hear -or read- them! Simple messages capable of change the mood, the day, one’s life. And it was possible. I’ve just need to rip one page of the magazine on board, transform it in a butterfly and write a message. Then leave it inside the seat table in front of me and hope someone to find it. Just as simple as this!

Silent Revolution

The goal of this movement is not bring attention to anyone in particular but for everybody in general. Everybody is able to fold a piece of paper and write a message on it. If you can do butterflies then better! There’s no need of identification. Actually, the purpose of this action is to make someone’s life happier without any other intention. But, of course, this Blog is opened to anyone interested in exchange experiences. Maybe, without make great efforts, we can begin a silent revolution of good feelings in this world devastated by the shadows of sadness and hopeless.

And if just one butterfly in a hundred is read and found, there’s no problem. We can be sure that it was the right moment for the right person…
