Personal Power: It Didn’t Hit Me Until It Did
I used to think personal power meant ambition.
Drive. Hustle. That head-down, push-forward energy
we’re taught to believe is strength.
And then one day, it shifted.
It wasn’t a bolt of lightning or an inspirational quote.
It was a quiet, uncomfortable moment that changed everything.
My Dad called with the news, mom has stage 4 cancer,
that didn't seem real, but you know when reality hits,
that word Cancer.
I didn’t know what to say. And I realized: personal power
isn’t loud. It’s not in the grind. It’s in how we show up—when
the world goes quiet, when life gets real.
When It Becomes Personal
Not long after that call, more news came.
A family member one slowly forgetting names, faces—Alzheimer’s.
A Son who now battling Crohn’s, smiling through the day.
A then the biggest hit and still today Dementia and a sad heart
my Dad had gone. 21 months later still don't accept it..
Each diagnosis hit like a wave.
And each time, I saw something raw and real.
Power wasn’t perfection. It was presence.
How People Deal — and Don’t
We all cope differently. Some fight loud. Others go silent. Some research, some pray, some numb out. And some do all three in one day.
The Fighters power through treatments and side effects, determined to smile one more day.
The Quiet Ones carry the weight so silently, you’d never know—until they fall apart in the grocery store parking lot.
The Avoiders shift the conversation, hide behind “I’m fine,” because facing it hurts more than pretending.
And none of it is wrong.
Because personal power isn’t about how you deal.
It’s about continuing—even when you don’t want to.
It’s about holding space for pain without letting it erase who you are.
It’s about showing up with love, even when you have no answers.
This Is Why We Created
Teka Originals, we don’t just design products.
We design for moments—for survivors, supporters, and those silently battling.
We create for the coffee drinker who just sat through their third doctor’s appointment this week.
For the daughter who bought her mom a plaque that says “Hope. Love. Cure.”
For the friend who uses sarcasm as survival and humor as armor.
Our designs are personal power in print.
They’re reminders that even when your world shifts—you still have your voice, your heart, your fight.
You’re Not Alone
If you’re navigating cancer, Alzheimer’s, Crohn’s, or Dementia—directly or through someone you love—this is your reminder:
You don’t need to have it all figured out.
You’re allowed to fall apart and still be strong.
Your way of coping is valid.
You are not alone.
Let’s Keep Talking
Drop a comment. Share your story. Tag a friend who needs a little light today.
This is what personal power really looks like: love in action.
Stay real. Stay soft. Stay strong.

In today’s world, individual wellness is no longer a luxury—it's a necessity. At Teka Originals, we believe your inner world deserves the same care, attention, and creativity as your outer one. That’s why we’re proud to introduce our new collection centered on personal growth, emotional strength, and self-awareness.
From humorous affirmations to deeply reflective messages, our designs aim to create more than just smiles—they’re made to uplift, empower, and connect.
We’ve all seen it: the headlines, the exhaustion, the silent struggles. Whether it’s burnout from daily life, emotional fatigue, social isolation, or the pressure to constantly “keep up,” the weight of the world has grown heavier for many.
Social media may be filled with curated smiles, but what often lies beneath is a rising tide of stress, anxiety, and disconnection. Even though more resources exist today than ever before—apps, podcasts, therapy, support groups—the noise can be overwhelming.
So we asked ourselves, what could we do that’s different?
The answer: Create daily reminders of strength, with humor and heart—small symbols that support the emotional journey while blending with everyday life.
This isn’t just about apparel or décor—it’s about creating a culture of inner kindness, self-worth, and light-hearted honesty. We believe that wearing a message like "Today I Choose Calm Over Chaos" or sipping from a mug that reads "Rest Is A Right, Not A Reward" has the power to shift someone’s mindset—even for just a moment.
Because sometimes that’s all it takes:
One phrase.
One nudge.
One chuckle that says, “You’re not alone.”
This collection is for the:
Overthinkers who need a reset
Dreamers chasing quiet
Caregivers pouring from empty cups
Friends who don’t always say how they’re really doing
Yes, there are resources. Mindfulness apps, coaching, yoga, community spaces—they’re incredible. But tools only work when we remember to use them.
That’s why our products double as wellness anchors.
A tote bag becomes a declaration of boundaries.
A mug becomes morning motivation.
A wall plaque becomes a visual cue to pause.
Think of them as everyday armor—a wearable or displayable form of encouragement that quietly says:
“You’ve got this.”
We intentionally avoid labels that feel clinical or stigmatized. Instead, we speak through relatable language and gentle humor. The kind that makes you laugh because it’s true, not because it ignores the truth.
Some phrases are reflective:
“Healing isn’t linear, but every step counts.”
Others are bold and cheeky:
“I Whisper WTF 20 Times a Day.”
That’s the magic of the Teka Originals voice: bold, raw, and real.
At our core, Teka Originals is more than a shop—it’s a conversation. A space for real stories, real laughs, and real support.
Every piece in this new collection is designed with:
Accessibility – Approachable designs and inclusive language
Intentionality – Words that spark conversation and change
Quality – Products you actually want to use every day
This is our way of helping you or someone you love feel just a little more seen, heard, and supported.
We invite you to explore our newest drop—designed with heart, humor, and healing in mind. Perfect for gifting, self-care, or just adding a little soul to your surroundings.

Stay brave, stay kind, and as always…
Wear What Matters.
Building an online store might look easy — after all, there’s no rent to pay in a busy mall or signs to hang above a brick-and-mortar shop. But here’s the truth: launching and running an online store takes time, energy, hard work, and money — just like a traditional storefront (and sometimes more!).
At Teka Originals, our journey from sketches and slogans to an online store has been nothing short of a wild ride, and we want to pull back the curtain on what it really takes to go digital in today’s hyper-connected, ever-changing eCommerce world.
Running an online store isn’t just “post a product and wait for sales.” The same principles of a successful mall store still apply:
Location = SEO
Just like choosing the right location for a mall shop, your “online location” (how people find you on Google) depends on Search Engine Optimization. Without it? You’re basically tucked behind the food court with no signs.
Display = Web Design
Eye-catching product displays have become high-converting landing pages, mobile-optimized images, and lightning-fast load times. It's not just aesthetics — it's strategic.
Foot Traffic = Digital Marketing
Social media, content marketing, email campaigns, and blog SEO have replaced mall crowds. It’s not just if they visit — it’s how they get there, how long they stay, and what they do next.
Setting up a site like TekaOriginals.com involves:
Product design & testing
Photography & mockups
Web development & platform fees
Payment systems & security
Search engine optimization
Customer service & automation
Marketing across Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest & more
It’s a lot. And while there’s no cashier counting physical bills, we’re counting:
Hours spent designing and writing
Late-night edits and system crashes
Advertising dollars and analytics reviews
Inventory, fulfillment, and packaging costs
And that’s before a single product hits your cart!
Thanks to online stores, brands like Teka Originals can:
Reach global customers without the rent price tag
Test products faster with real-time feedback
Share stories, humor, and purpose with a wider audience
Stay flexible, creative, and connected 24/7
What once took a mall, a storefront, and a hefty lease — now happens with a laptop, a bold vision, and a daily dose of hustle.
When you shop from an online store like ours, you're not just buying a product — you're supporting a mission, a maker, a movement. You're helping small businesses show up in a digital world that’s crowded, competitive, and constantly evolving.
So thank you — for every click, share, and checkout.
You're part of the Teka Originals story, and we’re just getting started.
Over the past decade, social media has completely reshaped the way businesses market themselves. Platforms like Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest, and TikTok have gone from casual content-sharing hubs to full-blown advertising ecosystems. And for small brands like Teka Originals, the opportunities—and challenges—have been massive.
There’s no denying the upsides:
A small business can now connect with millions of people—without ever printing a flyer or buying a billboard.
Businesses can share their voice, their mission, and their products through videos, memes, carousels, and more—building community and trust along the way.
Thanks to advanced targeting tools, brands can market directly to their ideal customers based on age, interests, behaviors, and more.
Posting is free. Reels are free. Engagement? Also free. For startups and solopreneurs, this felt like a dream in the beginning.
But with all that potential comes a new kind of pressure—and price tag:
Organic reach is shrinking. If you’re not putting ad dollars behind your posts, it’s increasingly hard to be seen. What started as a "free marketing tool" is now a pay-to-play system.
The demand to create more—posts, videos, stories, emails, reels—is constant. That requires time, skills, and often a budget for designers, tools, or freelancers.
Platforms change their rules constantly. One week a Reel hits 10K views; the next it barely gets 500. Staying on top of trends is a full-time job.
Small business owners juggle it all—running the business and becoming content creators. It’s overwhelming, especially when results don’t match effort.
At Teka Originals, we’ve felt the highs and the lows.
Social media has helped us reach new audiences, share our story, and bring life to our designs—from sarcastic T-shirts to heartfelt mugs. But behind every post is hours of thought, testing, writing, editing, and planning.
We’ve learned that marketing isn't just about selling—it’s about connection, creativity, and consistency. That’s where the real cost lies—not just in dollars, but in energy.
If you're a small business owner, creative brand, or solo entrepreneur, here are a few tips we’ve learned:
Pick 1–2 platforms and do them well
Don’t stretch yourself across every social media site—focus on where your people are.
Batch your content
Planning content ahead saves time and reduces stress.
Use storytelling
People connect with people. Show the real behind-the-scenes.
Set a realistic ad budget
Even $5–10/day can go a long way with the right targeting.
Know your brand voice
Be consistent in how you talk, what you share, and how you show up online.
The last 10 years have proven that social media can build empires—but only if you’re prepared to invest time, energy, and smart strategies. At Teka Originals, we’re not just posting—we’re building relationships, telling stories, and expressing our brand through every caption, comment, and product design.
Marketing has changed. And so have we.
