EVERY WOMAN SHOULD HAVE
1. One old boyfriend you
can imagine going back to
and one who reminds you of
how far you've come.
2. Enough money in your control to
move out and rent a place
on your own, even if you never want
or need to.
3. Something perfect to wear if your
employer or man of your
dreams wants to see you in an hour.
4. A purse, a suitcase, and
an umbrella you're not ashamed to
be seen carrying.
5. A youth you're content
to move beyond.
6. A past juicy enough that
you're looking forward to retelling it
in your old age.
7. The realization that you are 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 you laugh and one who lets you cry.
10. A good piece of furniture not
previously owned by anyone else in
your family.
11. Matching plates, wineglasses with
stems, and a recipe for a
meal that will make your guests
feel honored.
12. A resume that is not even the
slightest bit padded.
13. A feeling of control over your
destiny.
14. A skin care regime, an exercise
routine and a plan for dealing
with those few other facets
of life that don't get better after 30.
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 yourself.
2. How you feel about having kids.
3. How to quit a job, break up with a man and
confront a friend without ruining the friendship.
4. When to try harder and when to walk away.
5. How to kiss a man in a way that communicates
perfectly what you would and wouldn't like to happen next.
6. How to have a good time at a party you'd never choose
to attend.
7. How to ask for what you want in a way that makes it
most likely you'll get it.
8. That you can't change the length of your calves, the
width of your hips or the nature of your parents.
9. That your childhood may not have been perfect, but it's
over.
10. What you would and wouldn't do for love or more.
11. How to live alone, even if you don't like it.
12. Who you can trust, who you can't, and why you
shouldn't take it personally.
13. Where to go - be it your best friend's kitchen table
or a charming inn hidden in the woods - when your soul
needs soothing.
14. Why they say life begins at 40
