You might be asking yourself, what is Galentine’s day?
Well in short, it’s Amy Poehlers creation from the show Parks & Recreation. Check out this clip here for more info.
Galentine’s has really become a day of women celebrating women
Both the Boston Globe and Washington Post have captured the history and excitement in these articles here:
At Up+Go, our tradition is to write Galentine’s for other girls and women, not just on Galentine’s Day but throughout the year.
Sharing positive feedback boosts our confidence, shows people you value them and their opinions and it is incredibly encouraging. Too often we are quick to point out weaknesses and not strengths. Through Galentine’s, we get to practice giving encouragement and they are magical to give and to receive. The receiver of the Galentine can take a moment to reflect on the impact of things they’ve done and said and gain more confidence and courage as a result. The giver can see the positive impact. It is so powerful.
What women have positively impacted you? Let them know by sharing a Galentine! It could be a card, an email, or a phone call! Do it today and any day you want to celebrate the women and girls making a difference in your life and in the lives of others.
Happy Galentine’s Day from Up+Go!
