The Modern Renaissance Woman
by Melissa Hamilton

 

Welcome to my column "The Modern Renaissance Woman."

I'm very excited about being a part of a new movement for today's woman. Together, we are going to enter upon a journey of self-discovery and excellence as we explore the modern Renaissance woman! We will be discussing topics that can spark your imagination and stimulate your mental, and spiritual well-being.

As we begin this journey together, please contact me if there are issues/topics you would like to have presented.  I'm looking forward to our time together!

The Topic:  Favorite Romantic Movies
Nothing is more enjoyable than relaxing with a favorite romantic movie. I was curious to know what you favored when it came to romantic movies.  Also, did you think that what happens in romantic movies can be experienced in real life.  The results were both interesting and enlightening.

Books & Literature

Develop Your Personal Quotation Library
The power of the written word can never be underestimated.  I can not count the times I have reached for a book of quotations from my bookshelf.  I find quotations, proverbs, and interesting sayings a marvelous balm no matter my mood.

Know Thy Literature
To be familiar with many of the fine works in literature absolutely enhances your life experience. The Modern Renaissance Woman knows that building your knowledge of literature will not only make you more interesting to others, but give you endless fodder for conversation.

Time Savers: Books on Tape
The Modern Renaissance Woman takes advantage of technology to enhance her quality of life. When it comes to continuing education or simple pleasure, Books on Tape is the way to go.

Motivation

Prepare to Persevere
There is one truth that women must embrace. You have to persevere if you want to shape your destiny. Two strategies you can use are learning from others and "thinking outside the box."

Physical & Intellectual Beauty

Finding Your Fashion
The challenge for today's Modern Renaissance Woman is differentiating herself from the pack.  It takes a dash of creativity and modicum of determination to create your own unique image.  Apply the 7-Steps to Finding your Own Fashion to create a new you!

The Beauty Within
The Modern Renaissance Woman recognizes that we are much more than our external image. We have all heard the adage, "it’s what’s inside that counts." This statement is absolutely true. In a society that promotes youth, health, and surface beauty, it is easy to forget to recognize the value of the beauty within.

The Lunchtime Walk
Whether working a desk job, driving here and there in sales, or dashing off with the children on errands, we all eventually hit a wall.   A lunchtime walk is just the thing to get you running!

Perfume: Your Scent as a Woman
Perfume is one of those wonderful gifts of nature that women can truly enjoy. There are so many scents and unique bottle shapes. Learn about the history of perfume to enhance your experience of wearing fine fragrance. 

Special Occasions

The Holidays & Traditions
No matter your culture and the celebrations you embrace, the holidays are about tradition. Candy Canes, lighting the Christmas Tree at the White House in Washington DC, and your favorite movies.  All traditions have their beginning.   

Speaking Savvy!

The Modern Renaissance Woman knows that possessing savvy speaking skills is what gives her the confidence to approach any situation with assurance.  These series of articles in the Speaking Savvy category will absolutely take you over the edge!   

Speaking Savvy!
Introduction to the Speaking Savvy article series.

Comfortable Conversation
Carrying on a comfortable conversation with someone you know is a snap. The challenge comes when you are speaking with a stranger. There are three "Truths" when it comes to conversing comfortably with another individual (or group for that matter). I share those secrets with you!
