The Tears of the Caterpillars

Stop Being the Victim of What Others Say About You!


The story you are about to read represents two families that suffer word violence in many of these various ways. We will trace their individual journeys until they meet and influence one another in their journeys toward their individual and corporate destinies.


As you read their stories, you will learn how to get rid of the negative thoughts others may have inadvertently or purposely planted within your mind. You will also learn how to break free of the captivity imposed upon you through the words and actions of others. You will come to realize that the world is a mirror of your feelings, thoughts, desires, and interpretations. 


Every situation, relationship, and event is the mirror of something you have on the inside of you. You will come to see the connection between your inside and outside worlds and learn how to function as a victor instead of a victim, an overcomer instead of living in oppression, blessed instead of unfortunate, and powerful instead of powerless!
