Every Woman Should Have..

...a feeling of control over her destiny...

...one old love she can imagine
going back to... and one who reminds
her how far she has come...
.
..one friend who always makes
her laugh... and one who lets her cry...


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...
