Beauty Also Wears Clothes - ..... Becoming What Others LOOK FOR in Life, Not Just What They LOOK AT (2006)
"Beauty Also Wears Clothes - 101 Reflections On Becoming What Others LOOK FOR in Life and Relationships, Not Just What They LOOK AT"

My wife and I consistently ask our little girl where she is beautiful. Our little daughter always points at her heart and her tongue saying in her heart and in her words. I know this is not the common perception embraced in society, but could having the same view about beauty as stated by our little girl make a difference in our world?

What do you ascribe to as beauty?

It may very well be one of the most important questions of our time. After all, the quest for beauty has captivated the attention of people throughout history.

There are many who spend countless hours, days and even years trying to be externally classified as beautiful, but comparatively, little time ascribing to real beauty that truly reflects the person they are.

They strive to capture attention by being someone others LOOK AT, but fail to really focus on becoming the person others LOOK FOR in life and relationships. Find out how to build into life and relationships beauty marks that make one irresistible in life and love from the inside out.

How To Be Wanted For a Lifetime of Nights and Not Just a Night of a Lifetime (0)
Chasing desire seems to be a common theme in the world today. Music videos, the Internet, TV shows, movies, magazines and books often have one common theme, the feeding of desire. Our society has indeed become preoccupied with sex, and more and more are getting caught in the web of deception that chasing desire creates.

Yes, you are DESIGNED FOR DESIRE, but you also DESIRE FOR DESIGN. There is something, a cry, a craving, a longing within the human heart for permanence in relationships.

In a world where limited shelf life and expiration date relationships seem to be the order of the day, this desire for design still holds true. It still holds true that relationships are more about LEG-A-CY than about how much LEG-I-SEE.

About Stanley J. Leffew
I am a firm believer that what we ELEVATE becomes what we CELEBRATE. Because of this, I am passionate about elevating home and family life.

I am the loving husband of my wonderful wife Jessica, the proud father of two (soon to be three) very special little wonders, Zachary, Selah, and coming in 2008, Alexander.

A few years back I became concerned about the voices crying out to be heard in our world. Knowing that my own children will have to listen to the voices crying out the loudest as they grow, I decided to be proactive and add my own voice to the mix.

I became concerned that the message being elevated in our world made relationships more about the nighttime than the lifetime. To proactively engage these voices, I wrote and launched the e-book, "How To Be Wanted For a Lifetime of Nights and Not Just a Night of a Lifetime."

ABOUT THE E-BOOK
This e-book is not just a celebration of marriage and family life, it is an antidote for the lead-with-the-body focus so many grapple with today. It, like any other book, is not the holy grail of relationship books that renders any other book unnecessary. By design, it doesn't cover things like conflict resolution, anger management, personality differences or finances. Volumes of books have been written on these subjects.

What it is designed to do is ELEVATE and CELEBRATE lifetime relationships by showcasing the beauty of LEGACY and the value of a PROMISE. It is designed to be a voice against the night of a lifetime messages and lead-with-the-body influences of our world.

ABOUT MY MISSION
As stated, a passion was birthed in me a few years back to add my own voice to the mix of voices my children (and others) will have to give an ear to in society. I have raised my voice ever since through my website, e-books and newsletter.

My mission is threefold in its purpose.

1: Elevate the Ideal - What we elevate becomes what we celebrate. Culturally, we celebrate the URGE more than the MERGE. Wherever our treasure is, that's were our hearts are also.

2: Eliminate the Imitation - Cheap imitations abound, and I am eliminating those imitations by comparisons. A night of a lifetime doesn't even come close to being wanted for a lifetime, and relationships established on the "tune in" rather than the "turn on" approach have the proper foundation for life and relational enrichment.

3: Embrace the Identifiable: When it comes to life, love and relationships, we are designed for desire, but we also desire for design. The human heart longs to connect. This is what God, the Creator of relationships, designed the heart to identify with. The identification of our nature is ultimately only realized as we embrace God's design for relationships.

My wife and I consistently ask our little girl where she is beautiful. She always responds, "In my heart and in my words." Knowing that external beauty is elevated all around the world, I wrote my second e-book, "Beauty Also Wears Clothes - 101 Reflections On Becoming What Others LOOK FOR in Life and Relationships, Not Just What They LOOK AT." This e-book helps build into life and relationships beauty marks that make one irresistible in life and love from the inside out.
