EVERY WOMAN SHOULD HAVE...
...one old love she can imagine going
back
to... and one who reminds her how
far she has come...
...enough money within her control to
move out
and rent a place of her
own... even if she never wants to and
needs
to... ...something perfect to
wear if the employer or date of her
dreams
wants to see her in an hour...
...a youth she's content to leave
behind...
...a past juicy enough that she's
looking
forward to retelling it in her old
age...
...the realization that she is actually
going
to have an old age and some
money set aside to fund it...
...a set of screwdrivers, a cordless
drill,
and a black lace bra... ...one
friend who always makes her laugh... and
one
who lets her cry...
...a good piece of furniture not
previously
owned by anyone else in her
family...
...eight matching plates, wine glasses
with
stems, and a recipe for a meal
that will make her guests feel
honored...
...a resume that is not even
slightest bit padded...
...a feeling of control over her
destiny...
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...
...how to fall in love without losing
herself...
...how to quit a job, break up with a
lover,
and confront a friend without
ruining the friendship...
...when to try harder... and when to
walk
away...
...how to have a good time at a party
she'd
never choose to attend...
...how to ask for what she wants in a
way that
makes it most likely she'll
get it...
...that she can't change the length of
her
calves, the width of her hips, or
the nature of her parents...
...that her childhood may not have been
perfect... but its over...
...what she would and wouldn't do for
love or
more...
...how to live alone... even if she
doesn't
like it... ...whom she can
trust, whom she can't, and why she
shouldn't
take it personally...
..where to go... be it to her best
friend's
kitchen table... or a charming
inn in the woods... when her soul needs
soothing... ...what she can and
can't accomplish in a day... a month...
and a
year...
Pass this on to all women you know and love!
