Do You Have An Elegant Speech?

I was having lunch today with my in-laws and I noticed a father and his daughter sitting next to each other, having a very pleasant conversation.

They stood out in the midst of the rushing lunch crowd because of their smiles, gentleness and poise.

My father-in-law noticed them too. A few moments ago, he was within earshot while queuing. He told me he was very impressed by the way the little girl spoke.

She spoke very well, using correct grammar and tenses, asking and answering in complete sentences.

I would be impressed by her father, who held his own to speak to his daughter that way, I suppose starting her in good habits and spurring her on to develop these abilities. (Elegant Motherhood mental note!)

Like in all moments of elegant inspirations, I did a self-check and found myself to be far from where I would like to be. As far as speech is concerned at this point. I vowed to make changes...

An elegant speech is one quality of an elegant person. It is a mark of a refined person.

I've decided that I want to archive letters from precious friends across the globe. These letters serve more than encouragement and affirmation to me - they are special hugs from Heaven.

P.s. I won't reveal their full names in case they want their privacy.

Here is an email from Daniela from Mexico.

I just wanted to thank you. I have been reading your web site since last year and it's always a nice inspiration. It has helped me to reaffirm the idea that even if money comes and goes nourishing our art of conversation, poise, decorating with taste wherever we live is something we can take in our life journey. It has helped me with my kids education, at work, with my family and friends through good times and bad times. Thank you

Hello everyone!

Just a quick note that I'm unable to reply to emails for the next couple of weeks because I'll be overseeing some projects. I'll reply as soon as I can after.

I've added several new pages and sections, there'll be lots to read till I get back!

Take care,
