Week 1 has just concluded and already we are in our Week 2 of this new year. I don’t know about you but last week has been a hellish week already. It gave way to a whole level of anxiety like no other.
To unwind all the panic, I watched Instagram reels and to my surprise, my feed was flooded with a lot of girls and their Stanley cups. I am obsessed with cups of all kinds and trust me, I will buy them, so my family keeps me in check. Last month, I kept hinting at a Stanley. Do I need it? Definitely not but it’s all the rage right now, especially, the new pink and red ones that were sold exclusively at Target. I must be out of touch but it’s almost like Black Friday all over again – why?
I started reading about how Stanleys morphed into a must-have and boils down to INFLUENCE and 3 women. If you are interested in reading more, click this NY Times article for more info. This 100-year institution finally listened to women and thanks to the sisterhood of stanley, they are now reaping the benefits of their unprecedented sale since early 2020s.
I picked this topic today as a reminder to all the women out there, who like me, are dreamers. You will be heard. Your opinions matter. Your voice matters. Persevere. Pursue. Keep on going. I am.
It is never too late to start again once you have set your mind to a goal. Sometimes it does feel like you are behind the 8-ball, but it is ok. The most important part is that you are starting (or starting over again). Trust me, I know. My blog has been an on and off start, but I keep picking this up because it is important to me.
Today can be your start. Let us create this online sisterhood of support. Sometimes I don’t know what I am doing but I keep going.
