Don't FORGET the Tea!
Relax - Growing Together is Fun - The Afternoon Tea
Afternoon tea is a charming British tradition that originated in the early 19th century, credited to Anna, the Duchess of Bedford. At a time when dinner was served fashionably late, she introduced a light meal between lunch and supper to stave off hunger.
This ritual quickly evolved into a social event, complete with delicate finger sandwiches, warm scones with clotted cream and jam, and an array of pastries and cakes. Served with a pot of freshly brewed tea—often Earl Grey or Darjeeling—afternoon tea became a symbol of refinement and leisure, enjoyed in elegant drawing rooms or lush garden settings.
Today, afternoon tea continues to enchant people around the world, blending tradition with modern flair. Upscale hotels and quaint tearooms offer curated experiences, sometimes with themed menus or champagne pairings. Whether it's a quiet moment of indulgence or a festive gathering with friends, the ritual invites pause and connection.
From the clink of fine china to the sweet aroma of baked treats, afternoon tea is more than a meal—it’s a celebration of grace, hospitality, and the simple joy of slowing down.

How the Monarch butterfly got its name.
Named after royalty!
The Monarch Butterfly, with its regal orange and black wings, is aptly named after royalty. This stunning insect is believed to be named in honor of King William III of England, also known as William of Orange. The butterfly's vibrant colors and majestic presence evoke a sense of grandeur and monarchy. Just as the Monarch butterfly embarks on its remarkable journey, we empower women to transform their lives. Monarch butterflies (Danaus Plexippus) have an intricate life cycle that includes four stages: egg, larva (caterpillar), pupa (chrysalis), and adult. The egg-laying stage is particularly fascinating. Here’s an overview of each stage:
What's your remarkable process for your journey?
Let's look at Queen Esther for guidance.
Five Distinct Crowns Stages
Egg Stage (Preparation) (Pearl Earrings)
Esther: Orphaned and raised by her cousin Mordecai, Esther's early life was about preparation, nurturing, and growing in wisdom and faith.
Monarch Butterfly: The monarch lays its eggs on milkweed, preparing the next generation to transform and thrive.
Larva (Caterpillar) Stage (Growth and Challenge) (Pearl Bracelet)
Esther: When she was taken to the king's palace, she underwent a period of growth and beautification, facing the challenges of adapting to a new environment.
Monarch Butterfly: The caterpillar grows rapidly, shedding its skin several times, symbolizing the trials and growth before the transformation.
Pupa (Chrysalis) Stage (Transformation) (Monarch Pin)
Esther: She had to transform from a young girl into a queen, embracing her new role with courage and faith.
Monarch Butterfly: The caterpillar forms a chrysalis, undergoing a remarkable transformation into a butterfly.
Adult Butterfly Stage (Empowerment and Action) 🦋(Pearl Necklace)
Esther: As queen, Esther empowered herself to save her people, showing great bravery and wisdom in the face of danger.
Monarch Butterfly: The butterfly emerges, beautiful and empowered, ready to embark on its journey.
Crown of Glory (Legacy)
Esther: Her legacy is celebrated in the Jewish festival of Purim, symbolizing her lasting impact and the deliverance she brought to her people. (Purple Crown)
Monarch Butterfly: The Monarch’s journey and transformation are celebrated as symbols of beauty and resilience, inspiring many. Queen Esther’s story, much like the Monarch butterfly, showcases the power of transformation and the strength that comes from embracing one’s true potential. It's a fitting comparison for empowering women to transform their lives.
