Naw, I just think these are REALLY good things that can help a woman feel empowered and self sufficient. I have a few favorites of course-

a set of screwdrivers,
> > cordless drill, and a black
> > lace bra...

a youth she's content
> > to leave behind...

.a past juicy enough that
> > she's looking forward to
> > retelling it in her old age....

Thanks, JAM. I had a devil of a week, too. I think that I would add...

EVERY WOMAN NEEDS
a favorite saying to respond to others during their tirades, "Bless your heart."
the dignity to handle supreme rejection, even when it come from those closest to her.
to know that it is okay to cry.

Y'all, that was great!

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE
one old love
she can imagine
going back to...
and one who reminds
her how far she has come

Yes to the last thought, but NO to the first! At least in my experience I say NO to imagining going back to any of my exes!
