A 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 or 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... |
| ... |
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 |
| ... |
matching plates, wine glasses with stems,
and a recipe for a meal that will make
her guests feel honored... |
| ... |
a feeling of control over her destiny... |
|
| |
Every Woman Should Know...
|
| ... |
herself... |
| ... |
how to Quit a job, break up with a lover, and confront a friend without ruining the friendship... |
| ... |
when to walk away... |
| ... |
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... |
