Need Ideas for Your Story?

Theme: Echo

Although thinking of the future is important, This Girls Story is encouraging people to take a moment to remember the past. There are many echoes in winter, like the echoing acoustics of ice skating rinks, or the catchy sounds of a holiday tune. During the winter months, trees become the echo of a memory. Without their leaves, trees lose their former beauty. It is critical to remember the past, especially if there is a lasting impact. There are many echoes throughout a person’s life, like a recurring dream, or a habitual routine that is done over and over again. We want to provide an opportunity for people to reflect on the echoes in their life, and think about the ways these echoes impact them.
