Accentuating the Positive

“If one is a greyhound, why try to look like a Pekingese?”

Dame Edith Louisa Sitwell DBE (British Poet and Critic; September 7th, 1887 ~ December 9th, 1964)

“Each of us has at least one special feature that can set us apart. Do you accentuate your assets?

“I have often wished I had time to cultivate modesty. But I am too busy thinking about myself.”

Dame Edith Louisa Sitwell DBE (British Poet and Critic; September 7th, 1887 ~ December 9th, 1964)

“Most of us don’t spend nearly enough time thinking good things about ourselves. …Discover, flaunt, and celebrate your authentic assets.”

“Before my story began…” (Heather Houston 3-17-26)

“I need to be more intentional on accentuating my assets. I need to be a partner with myself in feeling good about myself.” (Heather Houston 3-17-22)

“I am getting in touch with myself culturally and feel I will start to unfold my style as an extension of my self expression. I am curious to attend the NICWA conference in Oklahoma to see what others in my culture wear on a day to day basis as strong beautiful indigenous women.”
