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 it’s 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…

Happy Monday!
