I didn't write this and I take no credit for it, but Fiona really liked it
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD HAVE...
...one 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 and 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 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 its 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...
It is said that if you...
SEND THIS TO 3 WOMEN... you will have good luck for an entire day...
SEND THIS TO 6 WOMEN... you will have good luck for a whole year...
Failure is never fatal and success is never final.
