Welcome!

It has been my desire for quite some time to bring some elegance into my life, for life, and as such, have made the decision to venture on the path of becoming an Elegant Woman, Wife, and Mother. During this time, I will also be working with my children in how to become proper gentlemen and young lady. I do not suspect that this will be easy, in fact, I do expect for there to be many learning experiences to be had, and am looking forward to chronicling these adventures.

The idea of elegance, however, can vary from individual to individual. According to Dictionary.com's definitions, Elegance is defined as "dignified grace, appearance, and behaviour, good taste in design, style, arrangement, etc." I believe that elegance is also in the way we speak and write.

Dignified grace I perceive as a noble quality of beauty. Not necessarily only outward physical beauty, but rather the way in which we hold ourselves. This moves into the "appearance and behaviour" portion of the definition. Keeping oneself neat and tidy, hair, nails, attire are all to be clean and without looking out of place or a muss. Keeping our posture straight and tall, even if sitting, avoiding slouching of any kind. Not only will focusing hard on keeping our postures tight give the air of confidence in oneself and situation, but it will also strengthen our core which will help with so many physical health areas including encouragement (or perhaps even the prevention) of weight loss.

One could be poor and still be just as elegant as someone who is better off financially. It is all in the way in which we hold ourselves, as well as the way that we speak to and about one another and others.

I believe that it's difficult to just do a lifestyle change all at once and so therefore intend on starting small and working my way up as soon as I am accomplished in one area or another. As such, one of my first tasks was to remember that I did pass English and had no difficulties in it, therefore, why should I speak any way other than properly?
