How to Be Lovely

When I was a little girl my parents enrolled me in an etiquette class. My teacher was Ms. Paige and she was an exquisite lady; very poised and graceful. Because of this lady I learned how to be a lady full of poise and grace.

Since I started so early, the habits of loveliness I have now are ingrained in my mind. I simply cannot be any other way.

Today I came across this list on The Elegant Woman blog and wanted to share it with you. Not only did it bring back all my lessons from long ago but it also brought me back to my center and the recognition that I am truly a lovely lady.

She who is altogether lovely...

#is generous with her smile
#is kind
#is on time, if not a little early.
#believes others come first.
#is disciplined in her mind and heart.
#is impeccable in appearance.
#has a good work ethic.
#has a balanced life with her values intact
#loves.
#never lets herself believe that anybody is different from anybody.
#is gracious.
#is authentic and never puts on pretenses.
#is a giver.
