Every woman should have... |
Every woman should know... |
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 the slightest bit padded... A feeling of control over her destiny…

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... -Author
