This book brings to life the remarkable legacy of a woman, Anna Rose Paas, who through her determination, courage, and joy of life, touched people’s hearts and enabled them to find inner peace and love. Her purpose was to make a difference to this world, and she did. The stories woven into Universal Life Lessons from My Brilliant Blue Bohemian Butterfly give the hope to everyone that, from birth through to death, their wishes for quality of life can be honoured, regardless of their circumstances. It is the gift of these valuable universal life lessons that Anna left for all to see and embrace. Anna had a very rare condition, Ring 22 Chromosome Abnormality, which meant she was a child in her cognitive development; however, in her emotional and spiritual development, she was a saint. Anna passed away on 16 April 2015 at the age of twenty-nine. She defied the odds and lived far beyond her life expectancy with her condition. What she brought to the world in her short life was profound. It is my honour and privilege as her mother to share her amazing story with you. My heart is filled with pride and peace to know that Anna, now as my guardian angel, can still make a difference to others. If Universal Life Lessons from My Brilliant Blue Bohemian Butterfly changes one’s person’s life, then this book has served its higher purpose.
