my mom sent me this via e-mail. it is surprisingly empowering for a dumb chain e-mail.

A 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 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 makes

her laugh... and one who lets

her cry...

...a good piece of furniture

not previously owned by anyone

else in her family...

..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...

...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...
