Woman Power

I got this forwarded to me and thought I would share.

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE:
enough money within her control to move out and rent a place of her own, even if she never needs or wants 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:
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 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...

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 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
