In honor of today being International Women’s Day, I am about to share the secret behind those diamond bumblebees. You may have seen me wearing them, but don’t understand why, or what they mean. A diamond bumblebee is something that is only awarded to top performers in Mary Kay.
In 1968, Mary Kay Ash chose that award first of all because she felt that a diamond appeals to every female. Not only that, but diamonds hold their value, last forever and their beauty and sparkle make them desirable. But why a bumblebee?
You see, a bumblebee is a special symbol that Mary Kay chose based on her intuition. She thought that it would be a perfect symbol for women who have flown to the top. Here’s why- According to scientists, bumblebees should not be able to fly! Their wing span is not nearly big enough to support their bodies. However, bumblebees don’t know this, so they go against aerodynamic principles and fly anyway!
Mary Kay said that women are like that, too. She was told that her business would never work! Women are told they can’t do certain jobs and especially couldn’t run their own business. Women don’t know that, they just do it anyway! Just like the bumblebee!
That diamond bumblebee is among my most cherished possessions. They are more than a handsome piece of jewelry, it’s also a merit badge! My Queen bee has 21 diamonds and weighs 1.75 carats, and my runner up bees are only 1.10 carats and have 19 diamonds. Those are some merit badges, wouldn’t you say?
How does that apply to you as a woman? Don’t listen to negativity coming from within or without. (the bumblebee didn’t listen to the scientific study that said it couldn’t fly, did she?) Surround yourself with positive people. Follow your dreams. Bee-lieve that you can do whatever it is that you set out to do, whether it’s as an entrepreneur, or another calling within your life. You can do it!
