101 Ways To Get & Keep His Attention - 16. MOVEMENT

While he was still talking with them, Rachel came with her father's sheep, for she was a shepherdess. When Jacob saw Rachel daughter of Laban, his mother's brother, and Laban's sheep, he went over and rolled the stone away from the mouth of the well and watered his uncle sheep. Then Jacob kissed Rahel and began to weep aloud. (Genesis 29: 9-11)

16. MOVEMENT

I wonder if Rachel had a special sway when she walked that could have interrupted a man's conversation. Remember the girl from Ipanema? An entire song was sung in tribute to her walk and the way it affected those who saw her...my, my, my. I wonder if she went to finishing school.

Whatever happened to finishing schools? Where you learned to walk, sit, and hold your hands a certain way? Where you learned to be a lady? Now it's every woman for herself! And today's shoes aren't doing anybody any favors. Small wonders some women are mincing around while others are clumping as if trying to crush grapes in wine season. Amazing. Men design those fabulous mules and then expect us to walk gracefully. There is a way to walk and then there is a way to walk.

Men observe how women walk and draw conclusions based on what they see. I once overheard a man who was watching a woman cross the streets say, "She walks as if she is enjoying herself." Sure enough, I followed the direction of his eyes, and there was this woman taking her time, her hips swaying gently as if she was waling to music none of us could hear. She was like a poem, moving in slow motion through the rest of the crowd as they made their way from point A to B. It brought to mind the song, "She walks in beauty..."

What does your walk say? That you are on a mission? Or that all is well with your soul and you are enjoying the day? Better walk lightly, someone might be watching.

And it's not just your walk; it's all your movements- the way you do the things you do. How you bend over to pick something up, the little way you flick your hair over your shoulder or innocently stretch without thinking. Men take nnote of all these things.

Perhaps a turn of the head or a movement of the arm remiinds them of something pleasant buried in their spirit. It connects and surfaces longings they believe we can answer. It this something you can totally control? Probably not. But just remember that ou inner workings will be manifested in your body language. So make sure all is well with your soul and reflect it in all you do.
