    Growing up on the South Side of Houston, Texas Loretha had a lot of time to day dream. Often she would have dreams that would sometimes take her all day to recite to her audience of one, a very patient younger sister who would listen eagerly. After awakening on a cool winter morning in 2010 she had this wonderful dream she grabbed her lap top and started typing. Before she knew it, she had “Butterflies” and the first person she told was her younger sister, she eagerly listened.
