Location Dallas, Texas, United States
Introduction I'm a nationally renowned etiquette and lifestyle expert that has a passion for polishing the world. I take to heart Col. 3:23 (Whatever you do, do it with all your heart as working for the Lord and not for men ...) I believe deep down every person wants to do things right, unfortunately in our culture few have been taught right from wrong ~ so my question is: How do you know what you don't know? If we are deprived from learning basic manners how are we suppose to be comfortable, and confident in any situation, much less successful. I am also a firm believer that it is not where you start, but where you finish that counts! My etiquette book Socially Savvy is highly endorsed by the great Zig ZIglar. My clients are businesses, churches and women's organizations. I love my life with my beautiful husband and the amazing cast of characters called friends we've been blessed with over the years. xojoy
Interests I'm motivated by all things refined and all things Christ-centered, ~ speakers, books, music, media. Don't expect me to sit down when Sweet Home Alabama plays - I'll be on my feet dancing, and don't expect me to stay sitting at my big Baptist Church when our choir sings. I'll be standing with arms lifted - yes - I'm Baptist and we actually lift our arms in worship now! Times are changing ... I am passionate about the rules of etiquette, good manners, and exceptional customer service. I don't like it a bit when I say thank you to someone and they reply back ... 'No Problem, " like there was a problem? hmmm... Anyway I adore pearls and have an entire stand-up chest of all shapes, colors, and lengths. I dream in handbags and will always remember you by your handbag! I speak tablescapes, entertaining, cooking, traveling, shopping, and skiing.
