"Being Hepburn in a Hilton world"
That is actually a book title. As I was having lunch today with a dear friend, she told me that she discovered this book in Barnes and Noble while waiting for me to arrive. I instantly fell in love with the title alone and wanted her to explain more about the book. The author, who I can't remember, wrote an entire book about how femininity needs to be reclaimed. She wrote about how it is more stylish for a woman to have virtue, to let men pursue her and to be beautiful with who she is. This book is right up my ally and SO true!
How different the world's definition of classy is. How true the author was about how a woman is more honored for how many men she has slept with, than for the true hero of the devoted wife and mother. Deep down inside the heart of every woman there is a desire to be loved and to love. This desire has been destorted in so many ways in this culture, but it is there because The Lord placed it inside each one of our hearts! I want to help women reclaim this desire, to embrace it and strive passionatly for love of God, themselves and then others.
Audrey Hepburn is a classy woman. She is a model of beauty any woman can look up to. The only woman who has her beat is the Blessed Virgin. She is the most beautiful woman to have ever graced the earth. I may look up to Audrey and let her give me some fashion pointers, but it is the humble and faithful Mother of My Lord that I will look to for guidance and to shape my heart. She brings me closer to her son than anyone else.
"Being Hepburn in a Hilton world" is my new motto..I will change the culture for women one classy act at a time!
