Every Woman Should Know....

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW....
How to fall in love
without losing yourself

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW....
How to quit a job,
break-up with a man
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....
How to kiss a man
in a way that communicates perfectly
what you would and wouldn't like to happen next

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW....
How to have a good time at a party
you'd never choose to attend

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW....
That you can't change
the length of your calves,
the width of your hips
or the nature of your parents.

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW....
That you childhood
may not have been perfect,
but it's over.

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW....
What you would
and wouldn't do
for love or more.

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW....
How to live alone,
even if you don't like it.

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW....
Who you can trust,
who you can't, and
why you shouldn't take it personally.

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW....
Where to go -
be it your best friend's kitchen table
or a charming inn hidden in the woods -
when your soul needs soothing.

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW....
What you can and can't accomplish
in a day,
a month,
and a year.
