FW 5.10 Your Heavenly Voice
Wow, I cover a lot of ground in this video, with a plethora of stories!
I'm going to share some quotes from Roger Vadim's biography called Bardot, Deneuve, Fonda, My Life with the Three Most Beautiful Women in the World, which is ironic, because the quotes I share are about his less famous wife, Annette. It's not a book I would recommend, and I've only read the chapter on Bardot. I guess he was a well-known film producer in France, but in my opinion he had a very sad life because he and his wives had open marriages and they kept leaving him for up and coming film stars.
At one point I said, "He eventually married her" (Annette) because I was reading a page prior to his description of her on the beach when she was pregnant - he married her long before she was pregnant with his child.
Note that Annette was more than just eye-catching. She was mind-catching.
I discuss how dressing inappropriately and showing too much skin causes people, men especially, to ignore you, unless they are looking for a one-night stand.
Wearing crop tops, low-slung jeans, and baring your midriff often causes women to cover their stomachs because they feel ill at ease knowing they are under-dressed, whereas women modestly dressed in appropriate attire come across as being joyful and open, since they are not crossing their arms in front of them.
I read from Chapter X of Pamphlet 5 "What the Voice Should Do" and bring up the fact that women with too high or too low voices that make themselves feel self-conscious would benefit by working with a voice coach for a few weeks or months - just like all great actors and singers do! It's nothing to be embarrassed about. Sometimes we need a little help and direction. I mention how reading aloud, and recording yourself, can also benefit you.
I then discuss what is more important than how soft your voice is.
And delve into why you shouldn't say "Why?"
What does "Why? Why? Why?" subtly imply? That the person you are talking to is _ _ _ _ _ _.
I tell stories about being "little girl" mad instead of raging at your husband.
And how to apologize when you've been disrespectful.
I tell you about a sleek, purring Mercedes and a broken down Cadillac. Sometimes we have a hard time giving up our jalopy-like attitudes and dressing styles.
I end with the question, "When does chivalry die?"
May God bless you as you cultivate a soft spirit and a quiet voice, and step into your God-given feminine attributes.

If only I had found this sooner...
ReplyDeleteI wasn't far off....but I vacillated... and now I am a recent widow and deep in grief....for SO many reasons. Your instruction is priceless. May many women realize this. 💙
Thank you, Dianne. Your comment humbles me. Know that I too have struggled (and had 1 failed marriage) which is why I went looking for answers and I'm sharing what others who found success in marriage shared with me. May the Holy Spirit comfort you with the good memories, dear Dianne.
