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.
How to kiss in a way that communicates perfectly what she would and wouldn't like to happen next.
How to have a good time at a party she'd never choose to attend.
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.
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.
Why they say life begins at 30

Every Woman Should Have...

One old boyfriend you can imagine going back to and one who reminds you of how far you've come.
Enough money within your control to move out and rent a place on your own, even if you never want or need to.
Something perfect to wear if the employer or man of your dreams wants to see you in an hour.
A purse, a suitcase and an umbrella you're not ashamed to be seen carrying.
A youth you're content to move beyond.
A past juicy enough that you're looking forward to retelling it in your old age.
The realization that you are actually going to have an old age and some money set aside to help fund it
A set of screwdrivers, a cordless drill and a black lace bra.
One friend who always makes you laugh and one who lets you cry.
A good piece of furniture not previously owned by anyone else in your family.
Eight matching plates, wineglasses with stems and a recipe for a meal that will make your guests feel honored.
A resume that is not even the slightest bit padded.
A feeling of control over your 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,and all those other facets of life that do get better.
