I pray that you will know His peace and His rest. Much Love . . .

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD HAVE

...one old love she can imagine going back to...and one who

reminds her how far she`s come...

...enough money within her control to move out and rent a

place of her own...even if she never wants 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 makes her laugh...and one who lets her cry...

...a good piece of furniture not owned previously by anyone

else in the family...

...eight matching plates, wine glasses with stems, and a recipe

for a meal that will make her guests feel honored...

...aresume that is not even the slightest bit padded...

...a feelingof control over her destiny...

...a skin care regime, an exercise routine, and a plan for

dealing with those few other facets of life that don`t get

better after 30...

...a solid start on a satisfying career, a satisfying

relationship, and all those other facets of life that do get

better after 30...





EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...



...how to fall in love without losing herself...

...how she feels about having kids...

...how to quit a job, break up with a lover, and comfort a

friend without ruining the friendship...

...when to try harder...and when to walk away...

...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 it`s

over...

...what she would and wouldn`t do for love or money...

...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 accomplish in a day...a month... and a year...

A strong woman works out every day to keep her body in shape ...



but a woman of strength kneels in prayer to keep her soul in shape...



A strong woman isn`t afraid of anything ...



but a woman of strength shows courage in the midst of her fear...



A strong woman won`t let anyone get the bestof her ...



but a woman of strengthgives the best of her to everyone...



A strong woman makes mistakes and avoids the same in the future...



a woman of strength realizes life`s mistakes can also be God`s blessings and capitalizes on them...



A strong woman walks sure footedly ...



but a woman of strength knows God will catch her when she falls...



A strong woman wears the look of confidence on her face ...



but a woman of strength wears grace...



A strong woman has faith that she is strong enough for the journey ...



but a woman of strength has faith that it is in the journey that she will become strong...
