My dear friends ~
“Aponi, the Butterfly” is a very personal story… one about my spiritual journey and one I am compelled to share as I experience it so as many people can benefit as possible. As with all of life, I walk this journey one season at a time, with the story unfolding in more detail as my life does. So stay tuned for periodic updates.

During my 24 years in Honeoye Falls NY, I had the opportunity to experience small town living at its best…literally. As part of the wealthiest town in Monroe County (that of Mendon), many of its residents (myself included) did not truly appreciate or take advantage of all its rich offerings. During the past two years, I've lived in Holley NY - a village 25 miles west of Rochester NY. As an outsider looking in, I've had the wonderful opportunity to view Holley with a fresh set of eyes. From this vantage point I've gained a new appreciation for small town living. Approximately the same size of Honeoye Falls both in area size and population, Holley is a small bedroom community located in the most depressed county in the nine-county metropolitan area of Rochester New York; that of Orleans County. It is through this experience I've learned first hand of their strengths and their weaknesses; have become keenly aware of potential threats (whether real or perceived); and have seen areas of great opportunity. Like Honeoye Falls, Holley has so much untapped potential. Both possess many “hidden treasures”, with their greatest treasures being their people, their scenic landscape, and their rich history. Honeoye Falls as a Seneca Indian village and Holley as part of its Erie Canal Heritage. Both are “diamonds in the rough”.
