Once upon a time a shy little girl had a dream. She dreamt of a home, a real safe home.

A safe home for herself and all her loved ones ... her pets, ... her doll, her teddybear and the friends she should meet ... when she grew up.

She did not know where to find this place she would call home, but she decided to go on life’s journey in order to find it.

The journey was hard and unpleasant but she did not give up on her dream.

Sometimes it looked like she had given up, but she hadn’t really!

Sometimes she had to do as if she had given up on her dream in order to survive ... and it was tough ... but then again she had proven to be a tough cookie before.

The little girl grew up and became a woman ... and in fact she never gave up till today to realize her dream and create a safe place for all who travel with her on this life’s journey.

She became an adult, found the love of her life, got married, gave birth to her children, and ... created a place for all of them to live in.

But she as well still wanted a safe place for all the other people she met on her journey called LIFE. She decided she needed to built yet another HOME.

A home where ... Love and Hope ... lived, where Faith ... had her own little corner. A cozy sweet safe place to be at. She decided to use her colors called creativity ... the colors she was given by birth and had nurtured from that time on. She knew her colors of creativity where a variety of coloring thoughts, poems, words and music ... and she knew it was a good thing to create a
SAFE HAVEN OF LOVE.




My name is Gery Elisabeth, as known as Papillon (which means Butterfly in French) and I do welcome you into my dream ... HOME.

My wish for you is to feel safe and welcome here, for as long as you decide to stay.

And remember we do have a spare room for those who need a place ... to rest ... to sleep or dream the dreams of their own.
