I like to interpret butterflies in the stomach as excitement, anticipation, my body knowing that something really WONDERFUL is coming that I don't know about!

And I appreciate your insight that because the bodily feeling is similar, we interpret this as fear. Shows me how valuable it is to mention these feelings out loud once in a while! Joelle I can't remember where this thread started... but when it come to Butterflies -- just remember they are natural and welcome guests in Open Space. When you feel them, it means you are already flying.
