A Promise, a Book, and a Smile

We walked to Galveston Central Church with a care package of freeze-dried fruit for the staff. Outside, we met a man named Michael, waiting for lunch. He asked what was inside, and we handed him a bag of freeze-dried watermelon.

He lit up. ‘This tastes like cotton candy!’ he said, surprised. ‘And no sugar added?’

We spoke for a while—his hope was shining through hard times. Before we left, he asked, ‘Can you recommend a book to help me grow?’

We promised to return Thursday with two of our favorites: Quietude and The Four Agreements. When we handed them to him, he smiled big.

It only takes a moment to change someone’s day for the better. Love was here, pass it on.”—SB2

HOW TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE

Without spending any money

Hold a door for someone

Hold the door open—it’s a simple act that says, “I see you,” and reminds us we’re all connected.

Pick a flower

Offer a handpicked flower—it’s a quiet, beautiful gesture that speaks love, presence, and connection without saying a word.

Give a compliment

Brighten someone’s day with a sincere compliment—it costs nothing, but can lift a heart and awaken a smile.

Pick up litter

Restore beauty to your surroundings—picking up litter shows care for the Earth and inspires others to do the same.

🦋 TESTIMONALS 🦋

Thank you so very much. 

What a wonderful surprise this morning. I am excited to receive and wear the bracelet, as an extra reminder of what a little kindness can do for others. 

I absolutely love the mission of Blue Butterfly. "

“To whomever taped a $20 bill to my car window with a Secret Blue Butterfly attached, you gave me hope that there are still beautiful people in the world. Heartfelt thanks for sprinkling kindness in my corner of the world."

Amanda V.

"What a great morning! I woke up for my morning coffee and when I went to pay the barista told me my coffee was already paid for—with a Secret Blue Butterfly left behind. Whoever you are… thank you for making my day a little bit brighter."

Secret Blue Butterfly FAQs

Your Questions Answered

When and how did this initiative begin?

In 2014 a dad was on a bike ride with his two young children. They came upon a chalk drawing on a sidewalk that read, "If you have the power to make someone happy, DO IT, the world needs more of that.." It inspired them to begin doing kind acts and leaving something to let the recipient know they were loved by the Universe. An initiative was born! One act turned into Secret Blue Butterfly being shared in more than 100 countries around the world. Visit the about page to learn more!

How can I get started and join the mission?

We make this as simple as possible. Download your free butterfly printout (free butterflies here), perform a kind act and leave a butterfly and if you'd like, take a picture for the world to see (submit photo here). Illustrate to everyone how one kind act can change the world!

Do I have to take a picture of my kind act?

No, if you'd like to remain completely anonymous that is in the spirit of this initiative. We only began posting pictures to bring awareness to the initiative and in fact only post a picture about 20% of the time.

Wonder if I don't have much to give?

That's okay! Kindness doesn't have to cost a penny. Hold a door for someone; pick a flower and give it to a stranger or leave it on their car; pick up litter; give a compliment. All these things can change someone's life and it doesn't take money. And always remember, our attention is our most valuable commodity and when we give it to others we can change the world with love.
