“The manner, deportment or language which renders a person appropriate and agreeable, suitable and elegant with appropriate dignity.” GRACE as defined in the Webster’s dictionary

Grace. Graceful. Gracious. I love these words. When I think of these powerful words they bring to mind fluidity of life, of movement, of being. My desire is to live a life that exemplifies grace. When others think of me, I want to be remembered as a person who extended grace in all situations. I would like to be thought of as one who communicates gracefulness, not only in movement, but also in the way I approach people with ease and poise. I want others to see graciousness in me, through my kindness, hospitality and warmth.Continue reading

The 6 F’s of Goal Setting

“Our goals can only be reached through a vehicle of a plan, in which we must fervently believe, and upon which we must vigorously act. There is no other route to success.” Pablo Picasso

Setting goals is not difficult, you simply need a step-by-step plan for how you will get from where you are to where you would like to be. There are short-term goals, like saving money for a vacation; and there are long-term goals, like saving money for a new home. Achieving any goal is not a race, but rather a journey towards a life you wish to live. Rarely is the journey without challenges and setbacks. Having a clear vision of what you desire will help you remain focused and enable you to revise your plan as needed.Continue reading

More Than Lipstick

3 December 2013 By 2 Comments

Have you ever noticed how a little girl exudes joy and confidence as she shamelessly dances and poses for anyone with a camera? She freely celebrates her beauty.

John Adams, the second president of the United States, said: “From all that I had read of history and government of human life and manners, I had drawn this conclusion, that the manners of women were the most infallible barometer to ascertain the degree of morality and virtue of a nation.” —Dee Jepsen, Women Beyond Equal Rights (Waco: Word, 1984), quoted in James Robinson, Attack on the Family (Wheaton, IL: Tyndale House Publishers, 1981), 33.

The role of women in society cannot be filled by any other. Women uniquely influence the family and the community. Typically, they still manage the home, provide the meals, select the clothing, chauffeur the children, volunteer at school, church, clubs—the list is almost endless. Over ninety percent of women also work a part- or full-time job.Continue reading
