Why Molting?

I feel like some people may be wondering why I chose "molting" as the blog title.  The definition of "molt" is: to shed old feathers, hair, or skin, or an old shell, to make way for a new growth.  I think the whole, "look at me, I'm in a transformation like a pretty little butterfly" is a little cliche.  I mean, while it is a great analogy, I'm not into gushy stuff like that.  My preferred analogy is a snake molting.  Or unzipping my old skin and stepping out!
