I dream of being invited to elegant parties, where I get to dress
up and meet really good, quality people.
I dream of having a Women's ministry, where I can serve women of
God and be an ambassador for my wonderful Lord and Saviour Jesus.

many different ways, up or down but being able to wear my hair elegant all the
time.

resulting in perfect posture all the time, when sleeping, eating,
walking, talking.

ones and wears good pyjamas to bed. She wears elegant dresses in the day and
elegant gowns for evening events.

She remains humble in limelight. While she may rise to public profile, she is
careful to not come across pretensious and remain down to earth.

that does not mean she is out of date, she just is faithful to the classics
with the occasional trend thrown into the mix.
She takes care of her body by sleeping well and eating well.

be quick to dispel it. She understands the importance of focusing on happy
things, what makes her happy, thus she always has a spirit of gratitude.
She is epitome of elegance and good taste.
