This morning, we decided to surprise all the women at the school drop off. The morning was windy, but it was all worth it.
The cupcakes were a sentiment from all of us at LSQ to remind all the incredible women around us of their unwavering strength, boundless courage, and infinite worth.
The cupcakes had different messages, randomly given to each one of our amazing women, the idea was that each message would brighten up your day.
The messages where:
"Together We Can," these words echoed not just as a phrase, but as a resounding testament to the power of unity and solidarity among women. Hand in hand, heart to heart, we stand stronger when we stand together. We hope each cupcake served as a whisper of encouragement for us, as women to hold hands and lift one another, forging a path paved with determination and camaraderie.
"She believed she could, so she did." Words that speak of dreams woven into reality, of challenges conquered, and aspirations realized. A taste of the sweetness that comes from believing in oneself and embracing the journey with unwavering faith. The story of every woman is one of determination, courage, and the relentless pursuit of their passions.
"Never Dull Your Shine." How often do we dim our own brilliance to fit into molds that society creates? Those words were a declaration that each woman is a radiant star, meant to shine brilliantly in her own unique way. With every cupcake shared, a reminder that– your light is luminous and deserves to illuminate the world.
"Women Support Women" – a mantra that underscores the essence of sisterhood. These cupcakes celebrated the incredible power that emerges when women uplift and inspire one another. In a world that sometimes seeks to pit us against each other, these cupcakes are a symbol of solidarity, of hands extended to catch, to hold, and to guide.
"You are Fierce, bold and daring!" Sweet and short yet full of meaning. A reminder of the indomitable spirit of women who fearlessly navigate the complex tapestry of life. These words aren’t just sugary notes; an anthem of the audaciousness that resides within every woman's heart.
Our cupcakes, sweet treats weren't just desserts. They were a representation and a reminder of self-love, reminders of the immeasurable value that each woman brings to this world. A call to be kind to oneself, to recognize the worth woven into the fabric of one's being.
To the women who raise grandchildren, nieces, and nephews with boundless love; who manage households and careers with grace; who conquer mountains, both big and small, with tenacity – we salute you. Your efforts, the elegance of your resilience, and the power of your love don't go unnoticed.
We hope the sentiment behind the cupcakes were more than just sweetness – they were a sweet reminder for every woman to remember to believe in yourself, a reminder about the unity of women supporting women, and a reminder of the beauty of life celebrated.
When the day sets today, we hope and pray that the sentiment of our sweet reminder will echo through your year. Celebrate life, embrace each breath, and remember, we are strong, valued, and cherished.
Here's to you, remarkable women. You inspire, you conquer, and you shine.
