What does your Style Statement mean to you?

My 1st word is Cultivated because I enjoy seeing things grow. I am passionate about helping women reach their full potential and realize their dreams. Similarly, I am constantly looking to grow as a person and reach the next level of understanding and authenticity.

My 2nd word is Graceful because I practice kindness and thoughtfulness in my every day interactions. I give graciously without expecting anything in return. I always see the best in people.

Suzanne Marques is a Reporter for Good Day LA who loves all things Hollywood, great design, and…Style Statement.

She recently had a Style Statement session. “I spoke to Danielle - who has the most soothing voice ever. She asked me a number of questions that made me look inside myself to retrieve the most deliciously decadent answers and sometimes I felt exposed and vulnerable. It was exhilarating.

One question that rocked my world was, ‘What do you love and why do you love it?’”

Dear Defining Your Creative Edge in Georgia,

Firstly, congratulations on creating your Style Statement - and with your sisters! As you know, we refer to your second Style Statement word as your “Creative Edge” word. It’s the 20% that makes all the difference. A little bit goes a long way.

Once you find your second word, here’s how you can develop it’s actual definition.

STEP 1: Look up the definitions and synonyms for your word and the root of your word, as well as the most relevant synonyms. i.e. Colorful, color, vivid, vibrant, dynamic…
STEP 2: Personify it. Create a draft. Think of your second word as a personality…as, well, you. Let loose on this. Be poetic and grand - you can rein it in when you polish the definition.

Let’s work with your second word, Colorful, for example… Read the rest of this entry »

Jamie Ridler, one of our shiniest Style Statement clients and a Nia Technique instructor, says, “Sometimes you have to “roll around in your Style Statement until it feels right.” Indeed. We were back ‘n forthing about her first word (your first word is your “foundation word.”) When it comes to your Style Statement words, it is definitely worth splitting hairs. Meaningfulness loves precision. You must look behind the words. Feel and smell them. Stretch them over your body. You are, after all, doing research for your soul.

Sensuous or Sensual?

Jamie unraveled some delicious a-ha’s that relate to all of us:
