Location is actually San Simeon, CA. Coin 27vt-7xz. I couldn't correct it.
I forgot to mention that I was honored to know Mareyna's godmother. She was one of the loveliest, kindest, sweetest, most spiritual and compassionate angels you could ever know. A great loss for those of us left behind.

This coin has not traveled far. It is in the same small town of Cambria, CA. I received it nearly two years ago from my sweet friend and "Fairy Goddaughter" Reyna after my dear, devoted father, Robert Louis Mayer, died. I happen to know the sweet man who started this coin rolling, her "birth-brother" and it is exactly like him to constantly reach out. Both of them are huge-hearted humans.
My father died alone on January 15, 2021. In a quarantined Kaiser hospital in Panorama City, Southern California, of Pneumonia, Congestive Heart failure, Renal failure and Covid-19.
---- Days before he died, and days after, my mom had some episodes of irrational behavior. Her memory loss, suddenly much worse, was found to be Alzheimers disease months later. She needed a memory-care facility. My sister and dear sister-in-law found a great facility near their homes, 6 to 7 hours away from me. We had to move mom. It was devastating. I felt like a traitor abandoning my dear, giving, exceptional and saintly mother. I am not kidding, look up her obituary I wrote on Legacy.com Margaret Regina (McGowan) Mayer. We also had to let go of the family home of 60 years. It took my sister and I five months before our siblings helped us. Every month we sorted through mountains of things, tens of thousands of papers, photos, etcetera. Donating countless things. I visited mom as often as I could, called every day, wrote every few days. It was very hard. Covid-19 kept her friends from visiting. My siblings gave her frequent phonecalls and visits, packages of goodies, shopping sprees, lunches out whenever possible. When she was sad or frustrated, it was devastating for my sister and I especially. She died on St. Patrick's day this year, 14 months after our father. I am still picking up the pieces, as I ignored my own life for three years helping my/our parents. I cry more easily now, but have caring family and dear friends/extended family. I know that I did everything I could to help and comfort my parents. And, obviously, dear souls in my life have comforted me. I am blessed and grateful.
Love each other, embrace your family, friends, and even strangers if you can. One smile, hug, handshake, and/or kind word and gesture can brighten someone's day or save a life. Their value is beyond measurement and they are healing to the spirit and the soul.
LOVE, LOVE. LOVE.

My co-worker gave me this coin when met, in person due to Covid and regional restrictions, for the first time at a work conference. On that particular day I'd had a rough start with my printer and getting to work equipped and on time. I slipped in for the start of a working lunch session, late and a bit ashamed, and she said here I have something for you. I was surprised and the timing of the gesture was really nice. Working with the military made me immediately identify the beautiful coining as a kind gesture even though I wasn't sure what it was. I actually think I teared up a bit.
I kind of forgot about this for a while and recently my family's moved through a half dozen temporary housing situations this fall trying to save to buy a house again so we don't have to keep uprooting our family in this unstable rental market. It's been really rough and somehow in the midst of living out of suitcases for the last five months this coin has resurface right after our whole 5 person family stayed with my cousin for two weeks when a pipe broke in the RV we were staying in.
We're in an apt now for the winter and I'm putting together Christmas gifts. I wanted to give my cousin a special gift this year after her graciousness to us. She so freely offered for us to crowd the hell out of her with little notice. She just so happens to love butterflies too so I'm tucking this into her gift basket.
This coin was “set free” in March 2022. It was gifted to Allison H. At Covenant Presbyterian Church. Allison got a new Taylor Guitar, & I surprised her with a mother of pearl Truss cover for it. She is such a blessing to so many people & she simply glows when she’s playing her guitar.
I gave her the butterfly coin & asked her to pay it forward.
Be blessed!!
I am passing this coin to a wonderful woman, Emily Hawkins. Emily's program Market Me, along with Emily's guidance, leveled me up in my career. She gave me the tools, motivation, and the confidence to apply for a position that was more of a dream position. I nailed it. I am helping more people and making more money than I ever have, and I am so grateful to her. Thank you, Emily. You have changed my life. One day, when I make it to Georgia, I am coming to see you to hug you in person! Thank you for all you do! <3
Love,
Merri Lou Franzella

This coin is traveling from Baltimore to Pittsburg to honor JoAnne; a “sister friend” and “kindred spirit.” JoAnne’s gift of friendship and love has never waivered. She has been by my side through everything in life and her generosity knows no bounds. The bond of friendship continues through our daughters.
This coin belonged to a dear friend who just recently "found her wings" and passed on, so I am going to give this coin new life by passing it along to another dear friend. We recently went to the wonderful Butterfly Rainforest at the Gainesville, Florida Museum of Natural History and saw a butterfly similar to the one pictured on the coin. Wishing this sweet butterfly many happy adventures and travels - fly on, little wing!
Hello Sweet Girl!
We started our vacation a couple days ago, it's my first time at Wisconsin Dells.
Everything has been a new adventure each day, its so liberating to take away the mundane same day routine.
Among the many adventures, your cousins Anthony and Prestin have been living it up with Damario and Danny, running around as big boys do making their own memories to cherish.
Savanha has taken to the pool like a real life mermaid and making new friends wherever she goes. She is so sweet, fierce and independent.
My favorite part of our trip is all the time we are spending together, no matter what we do or where we go, its the company we keep that makes everything so special and I am thrilled to share our time with you. We know you are watching from above and that your spirit is with us.
Love you baby girl 🥰🥰🥰
Hi Scarlett,
Your mom & I were out on the patio the other day and 2 white butterflies came so close to me, i could have reached out and touched them. White butterflies are not common and i knew in my heart it was you, giving your mom a sign that you are there. We all miss & love you so much. There isn't a day that goes by that we aren't missing you. Keep giving us signs baby girl.
Love you infinity.
-Nick, Nicole, Anthony, Prestin & Savanha
I was given this very special coin from my kind and
thoughtful friend and neighbor, Nancy Miyares. She taught me all about her love and passion for the monarch butterflies, gave me an inspirational reference book on the Monarch (Saving Our Most-Loved Butterfly) by Kylee Baumle and inspires everyone she knows. I love the art of helping them survive. It is my honor to pass this coin on to a dear friend who is inspired by nature and gardening, Jeannie K. who is also a member of the Wildflower Garden Club. Jeannie has raised the Monarchs with love and passion, understanding the need to take care of these beauties.
I received this coin as a reminder of the love Nicole shared with so many. I miss her everyday and am always looking for ways to live more like her, to be good like her. I am honored to feel her presence through time spent with her most precious ones, Jack and Carter. There is no better reminder that her legacy of love and kindness caries on through them. When I think of Nicole's goodness, I am moved to build relationships with people who share similar qualities. Amber serves others with grace and love as a mother, teacher and friend. She is raising her own wonderful children, spreads kindness to her students and makes them feel so loved, and has helped me as I have navigated the loss of our friend. For those reasons and more, I will pass this coin on to you, Amber. Love, Lesley
I received this coin from my precious daughter-in-law’s mother in memory of my daughter-in-law on her first birthday in heaven. Nicole was simply the kindest person I have ever known. I miss her deeply and always will. I am grateful God gave me 20 years with her even though I wanted more. In honor of her, and with great love for her, I am passing this coin to Nicole’s dear friend, Lesley, who has done so much to help my son and grandsons navigate this first year without Nicole. She has put her love into action with almost daily efforts to help them. She reminds me of Nicole, and I am so deeply grateful to her for her unselfish kindness. Lesley, please know you have touched my heart by honoring Nicole so lovingly.
Whatever our hands touch - we leave fingerprints! On walls, on furniture, doorknobs, dishes, books - there's no escape! As we touch, we leave our identity.
Our mother’s deepest desire was to be of service as she ministered to the needs of others. She left her “heartprint” of compassion, kindness, genuine understanding, and love wherever she went. With every act of kindness, she sought to change the world.
Mother lived one week shy of her 90th birthday on June 20, 2021, and we began circulating 90 butterfly coins, as a memorial to her life.
If you received one of these coins, please share your story to help us carry on her legacy of loving service to others.

I received this coin from my sister-in-law’s mother in honor of her daughter, Nikki, who passed away. Today, June 4th is her first heavily birthday. Her presence was missed dearly today as all days. Nikki was the most kind, generous, beautiful, gracious, and loving person I have ever met. May this coin spread the kindness that Nikki spread so naturally and effortlessly.
I will give this coin to a friend who has been supportive during this difficult year without Nikki. She is a wonderful friend and has a big heart. You have shown nothing but kindness to me and my family! Thank you, Jess!
This coin, along with eight other coins, will start its journey of kindness on June 4, 2022. This is the birthday of our beautiful daughter who passed away this past year. This coin has been given to her mother-in-law, whom she loved so much. Everyone who knew Nicole would tell you she was the kindest person they knew. She was happiest when doing for others. Nicole was a living example of the butterfly effect. She was one person and her kindness impacted so many people. So, on her birthday the greatest gift we can give Nicole is to carry on that spirit of kindness and generosity to others. Nicole truly wanted to make the world a better place for all and this act of spreading kindness will carry on that legacy. Please add your act of kindness to the story line and pass the coin on. Let's keep spreading the kind of love Nicole spread to so many. Happy Birthday Nicole. We all love you and miss you so much! Love, Mom

I don't know what happened to bring this coin to me. I found it among the belongings of a beloved older woman in my life. She loved butterflies and I'm sure she wanted to pass this coin along but never had the chance. But she was a lifetime helper as a nurse and adoptive mother. I'm putting this in my pocket to hopefully pass along.
This coin was found in Eureka Springs at Wateroo Lodge and Gravel Bar in the bathroom on the mirror. There was a very touching note in memory of Margaret, the dearly departed mother of the person who left the coin. Included was a touching inspirational note, a gift card and a beautiful bracelet with inspirational words. I assume the bracket belonged to Margaret. As my first act of kindness I gifted the braclet to the beautiful mother-in-law of the owner of Wateroo. To say I was touched is an understatement.
I got this coin from a good friend who gave it to me and another missionary while we were helping them figure out their relationship with God. I ended up taking it with me and moving home where I jumped around some jobs I hated but am giving this coin today to a friend and coworker who reminded me a lot of the friend I got this coin from. She helped me with a really difficult work environment and made going to work a lot easier, and gave a lot of really good life advice. Now that I'm getting married and she's moving to a new state I figured it was time to let the coin move on and collect new stories too!
I am honored to pay forward our Chamberlain University Irwindale, CA Butterfly Coin to Kathy Cecchin, our Administrative Coordinator. Kathy has continued to role model flexibility and an eagerness to learn and be innovative in supplying our department and classrooms. On an exceptional note, on Kathy's way home from work, she witnessed a trailer detach from a truck on the freeway and she wondered why the truck did not stop to retrieve the trailer. She immediately called the police to report the detached trailer on the freeway. She came to find out from her neighbor that their trailer was stolen and again Kathy notified the police. Kathy's neighbors were elated when their trailer was returned to them. This goes on to demonstrate Kathy's kindness and integrity even when no one is looking. She goes above and beyond to do the right thing always and we are extremely blessed to have her as part of our Irwindale, CA campus team. We love & appreciate you, Kathy, for always being an extraordinary colleague! :) - Vina Ocampo, Dean of Academic Affairs, Chamberlain University, Irwindale, CA
