WHAT EVERY WOMAN SHOULD
HAVE:
1)
One old love she can imagine going back to - and one
who
reminds her how far she has come.
2)
Enough money within her control to move out and rent a place on her own,
even if she never wants or needs to.
3)
Something perfect to wear if the employer or date of her dreams wants to
see her in an hour.
4)
A purse, a suitcase, and an umbrella she's not ashamed to be seen carrying.
5)
A youth she's content to move beyond.
6)
A past juicy enough that she's looking forward to retelling it in her old
age.
7)
The realization that she is actually going to have an old age and some
money set aside to help fund it.
8)
A set of screwdrivers, a cordless drill, and a black lace bra.
9)
One friend who always makes her laugh and one who lets her cry.
10)
A good piece of furniture not previously owned by
anyone
else in her family.
11)
Eight matching plates, wine glasses with stems, and a recipe for a meal
that will make her guests feel honored.
12)
A resume that is not even the slightest bit padded.
13)
A feeling of control over her destiny.
14)
A skin care regime, an exercise routine, and a plan for deal-
ing
with those 'wrinkles of time' that sometimes appear after
age
30. But don't be ashamed OF your age!! Beauty is 'ageless'.
15)
A solid start on a satisfying career, a satisfying
relationship,
and all those other facets of life that do get better.

EVERY
WOMAN SHOULD KNOW:
1)
How to fall in love without losing herself.
2)
How she feels about having kids.
3)
How to quit a job, break up with a lover, and confront a
friend
without ruining the friendship.
4)
When to try harder and when to walk away.
5)
How to kiss in a way that communicates perfectly what
she
would and wouldn't like to happen next.
6)
How to have a good time at a party she'd never choose
to
attend.
7)
How to ask for what she wants in a way that makes it
most
likely she'll get it.
8)
That she can't change the length of her calves, the width of her hips,
or the nature of her parents.
9)
That her childhood may not have been perfect, but
it's
over.
10)
What she would and wouldn't do for love or money.
11)
How to live alone, even if she doesn't like it.
12)
Whom she can trust, whom she can't, and why she
shouldn't
take it personally.
13)
Where to go - be it her best friend's kitchen table or a charming inn hidden
in the woods - when her soul needs
soothing.
14)
What she can and can't accomplish in a day, a month,
and
a year.
15)
Why they say life begins at 30.
Whatever you think
you can do or believe you can do,
begin it.
Action has
magic, grace and power in it...
