Dave Bishop, the founder of Pathways to Independence Foundation. Since the program started in the s, more than young women have found the path to lead them to success. Butterfly Tears was once a dream, that has become a reality for Bishop. It allows a handful of women to tell their success stories. Some of these women were beaten and abused, others were their own abusers, falling to the demons within. Some just had one bad decision that led them down the rabbit hole. But all of these women have something in common: They came out on top.
Butterfly Tears is an absolute must read for women!
You may not have grown up in an abusive family, or gotten involved with drugs or a bad boyfriend, but you may have been close, or had a best gal pal that did. Everyone in a terrible situation needs an angel on their shoulder.
David Bishop has been that angel for hundreds. Each of these women have faced such heartbreak and have stories that make you cringe, make your skin crawl, and will most likely piss you off knowing that someone has to live like they did.
I want to profile one story for you. And that is Kimberly. Her story was a little different than the others. She became a teen mom. All odds were against her, but she had a dream of being a lawyer and Pathways set her on the right path. Of all the ones I read, hers was the one that had me in tears at the end.
I am proud to know her story and I am empowered by her courage and her will. She wanted to give up, most of us do. And the angel on her shoulder, he may have introduced her to every person along the way who helped her out. But she was the one who got herself where she is today.

Friday, June 7, Butterfly Tears: Today I'm taking part in a blog tour for Butterfly Tears: Stories of Entrapment to Empowerment.
It's a very special book, and I'm glad I could take part in the tour. Here is a little bit about the book courtesy of JKS Communications These are the histories of the young women in the inspiring book Butterfly Tears. Some found themselves in gangs. Some remained trapped in the confines of an abusive family or a painful addiction.
Society had given up on many of them. These women were ready to take a different path. And Pathways to Independence was there to guide them. These are the bywords of this ground-breaking organization founded and led by Dave Bishop—a man who first had to conquer his own internal demons.
