What a woman should have ..... what every woman should know.....

What a woman should have ....
An 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 make her laugh ... and one who lends her a shoulder to cry on ...
A feeling of control over her destiny...

What 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 relationship ...
When to try harder, or 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 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 should not take it personally ...
Where to go .... what to do.. in times when her soul needs soothing ...
What she can and can't accomplish in a day .... a month .... a year...

"Love wasn't put in your heart to stay, love isn't love until you give it away"
