About Us

     Hi!  My name is Randi, (the little cutie pictured is my daughter).  Sparkle with Authority LLC officially launched in July 2021, but as with most things, there's more to the story.  The idea for Sparkle with Authority came about a couple of years ago when I was attending a conference for educators, (I've worked in education for over 15 years - first as a classroom teacher, then a counselor, and now an administrator).  A colleague and I were discussing how tough things are for new teachers.  They have to have so much energy to keep kids engaged; they have to sparkle.  And I said, "Yes, but sparkle with authority."  (In other words, be energetic but have confidence and don't let the students walk all over you!).  And my coworker said something to the effect of, "Sparkle with authority!  That's great!  You have to put that on a t-shirt."  So I did.  :)  I started selling on sites like Amazon before creating my own online store you're visiting now.

     Although the original idea was aimed at new teachers, it resonates with me as a message for young girls and women everywhere.  I look at my daughter, and I see how amazing, how sweet, and how bright and alive she is.  I hope she never loses that.  But I also hope that I can help her to see her value, to have confidence and believe in herself, and to never lose all the wonderful things that make her unique, the things that make her shine.  Maybe along the way, in some small way, we can pass that message along to others as well.  And if nothing else, Sparkle with Authority has given us the opportunity to create together, to spend more time with each other, and hopefully add a little more joy to this world.

     Peace, love, and blessings to all of you.  Thanks for stopping by!
