A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE … enough money within her control to move out and rent a place of her own, even if she never wants to or needs to…
A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE … something perfect to wear if the employer, or date of her dreams wants to see her in an hour…
A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE … a youth she’s content to leave behind….
A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE … a past juicy enough that she’s looking forward to retelling it in her old age….
A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE …. a set of screwdrivers, a cordless drill, and a black lace bra…
A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE … one friend who always makes her laugh… and one who lets her cry…
A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE … a good piece of furniture not previously owned by anyone else in her family…
A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE … eight matching plates, wine glasses with stems, and a recipe for a meal, that will make her guests feel honored…
A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE … a feeling of control over her destiny.
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW … how to fall in love without losing herself.
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW … how to quit a job, break up with a lover, and confront a friend without; ruining the friendship…
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW … when to try harder… and WHEN TO WALK AWAY…
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW … that she can’t change the length of her calves, the width of her hips, or the nature of her parents..
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW … that her childhood may not have been perfect…but its over…
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW … what she would and wouldn’t do for love or more…
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW … how to live alone… even if she doesn’t like it…
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW … whom she can trust, whom she can’t, and why she shouldn’t take it personally…
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW … where to go… be it to her best friend’s kitchen table… or a charming inn in the woods… when her soul needs soothing…
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW … what she can and can’t accomplish in a day… a month…and a year…
