Madame Butterfly

The New York Times published a great article on Camilla Ella Williams. An opera star who played Madame Butterfly in 1946 at City Center in Manhatten, she became a star of a beautiful color.
A quote from the article, “The lack of recognition for my accomplishments used to bother me, but you cannot cry over those things,” Miss Williams said in a 1995 interview with the opera scholar Elizabeth Nash. “There is no place for bitterness in singing. It works on the cords and ruins the voice. In his own good time, God brings everything right.”

That is a very rare butterfly indeed, one who knows how she must live her life to the benefit of herself, her work and her God.

So, we celebrate this beauty and pledge to take ownership of this special way of thinking that really does lead to successful living...
and to women, like Camilla, whose life is beautiful, on or off the stage.
