Every Woman
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 but 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...
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 it's 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.
