If any person could be considered to have reached near perfection besides my wife, it is the individual who's always welcome here.
While growing up, society pressures us to be perfect. We keep trying until it's perfect. Finally, the page tears but perfection doesn't come because perfection is non-existent.
Her name is not Grace, but she has plenty, of self-confidence. It is not about being the center of attention or overpowering others. it’s about being comfortable in her own skin and knowing her worth.
It might be surprising for some, but a woman who is truly classy is not always the one wearing the most expensive clothes or the loudest makeup—she simply exudes the class that separates her from the rest. In other words, a class act doesn’t need to shout to be heard or wear flashy things to be seen.
She has visited our home a couple of times and embodied class like no one else. She was optimistic and listened when someone was speaking, with thoughtful and genuine responses. She values other people’s opinions, and even when she disagrees, she makes sure to do so respectfully.
She considers others’ feelings before her own. She thinks twice before saying something that could potentially hurt someone else, and she has this knack for turning negatives into positives.
It is acts of kindness and consideration that made her truly classy—and a genuine role model for her younger siblings and little cousin.
Her authenticity is another hallmark that she is real and genuine. Unlike most folks, she doesn’t pretend to be someone she isn’t just to fit in with or impress others. She values her individuality and lets her true self shine.
She isn’t afraid to express her opinions, even if they go against the grain. She stands up for what she believes in but does so with respect and tact.
She’s poetry in motion, comfortable with her flaws, and embraces them as part of who she is. After all, nobody’s perfect, and a classy woman knows that it’s our imperfections that make us unique.
Her good manners are a universal language of respect. They are not about putting on airs or trying to appear superior, but rather about showing consideration and respect Interestingly, good manners dates back to the Renaissance.
These codified behaviors were designed to highlight the nobility, which evolved into a universal code of conduct that transcends social class. This code of conduct is something a classy woman knows by heart.
She says “please” and “thank you”, respects personal space, doesn’t interrupt when others are speaking, and is punctual. She treats everyone uniquely and equally.
She oozes outer sophistication but also possesses a deep sense of empathy and compassion. It’s the ability to understand and share the feelings of others, to put herself in someone else’s shoes.
