I’ve spent the day living with the statement Sensuous Adventure, making a mood board on Polyvore, and thinking about what those two words mean to me: I have to tell you that I have made more forward progress in my life today than I have in many years.

Adding the word ‘Adventure’ really did give me wings (and yes, I practically beg other people to live their life as an adventure without being bold enought to do so myself!). I’ve even decided to return to school and study jewellery, as well as the paint colours for my living room wall, what items I should be adding to my closet, going natural on my hair colour and letting it grow (sensuously) long again. Etc. It’s exciting. Adventurous even.

Thank you again.

Found the Style Statement book through an act of serendipity a couple of days ago. I am getting so much out of it, but still only half-way through the questions. At the moment I have an inkling my style statement might be Sensuous Adventure, (the sensuous is a surprise, btw – I had thought of Sensuous Whimsy, but it didn’t feel exciting until I read Adventure up in the previous comments and coveted it for my own second word) but I will keep hammering away and see if anything else comes up after I have completed the exercises.

Thank you for putting this work out into the world, it is such a beautiful way of looking at who we are and why we are here.

I just finished going through the book and finding my style statement-simply classic! Really? I feel like I’m on my way to figuring myself out…

Thank you both for the encouragement. I’m pretty sure I’m Constructed Play, but I’m trying it on for size before I decide.

Maybe “Visionary”, “Futuristic”, or “Connected” will get you in the ball park on your foundation word. It took me about a year before I found the foundation word and creative edge word that would fit right, so hang in there.

Itching me like a cheap sweater, love that Sade. May you discover cashmere to
embrace yourself in.

Oddly, my second word was easiest for me: play! It’s my first word that troubles me. I suppose it’s that I can’t find a word that merges mystical/zen with modern/constructed…a word that means equally connected to the past and the future, and the potentials of both. The duality of what is and what will be.

It’s been itching at me like a cheap wool sweater. And I feel as though I ought to have that word, being a logophile, a lover of words.

I suppose it will come to me, eventually. ^_^

Often we’re our second word for others but not for ourselves. May I suggest, giving yourself the gift of determination and courage in one area of your life, move towards a desire.
