I`m so low I have to pull my socks down to peek out...

Your positive energy will be sucked up like sunshine.

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

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE

...enough money within her
control to move out and
rent a place of her own
even if she never wants
to or needs to...

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE

..something perfect to wear if
the employer or date of her dreams
wants to see her in an hour...

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE

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

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE

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

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE

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

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE

..one friend who always makes
her laugh... and one who lets
her cry...

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE

...a good piece of furniture
not previously owned by anyone
else in her family...

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE

...eight matching plates, wine
glasses with stems, and a recipe
for a meal that will make her
guests feel honored..

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE

...a feeling of control over
her destiny...

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...

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

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...

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

...that she can't change the
length of her calves, the width
of her hips, or the nature of her
parents...

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...

...that her childhood may not
have been perfect...but its
over...

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...

..what she would and wouldn't
do for love or more...

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...

..how to live alone... even if
she doesn't like it...

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...

...whom she can trust,
whom she can't,
and why she shouldn't
take it personally...

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...

...where to go...
be it to her best friend's kitchen table...
or a charming inn in the woods...
when her soul needs soothing..

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...

..what she can and can't
accomplish in a day...
a month...and a year...

MARKETING

Several people have asked for an explanation of Marketing.
Perhaps the following analogies will help clear it up:

You see a handsome guy at a party.
You go up to him and say,"I'm fantastic in bed."

That's Direct Marketing.

You're at a party with a bunch of friends and see a handsome guy.
One of your friends goes up to him and pointing at you says,

"She's fantastic in bed."

That's Advertising.

You see a handsome guy at a party.
You go up to him and get his telephone number.
The next day you call and say, "Hi, I'm fantastic in bed."

That's Telemarketing.

You're at a party and see a handsome guy.
You get up and straighten your dress. You walk up to him and pour him a
drink. You say, "May I?" and reach up to straighten his tie brushing
your breast lightly against his arm, and then say, "By the way, I'm
fantastic in bed."

That's Public Relations.

You're at a party and see a handsome guy.
He walks up to you and says, "I hear you're fantastic in bed."

That's Brand Recognition.

You're at a party and see a handsome guy.
You talk him into going home with your friend.

That's a Sales Rep.

Your friend can't satisfy him so he calls you.

That's Tech Support.

You're on your way to a party when you realize that there
could be handsome men in all these houses you're passing. So you climb
onto the roof of one situated toward the centre and shout at the top of
your lungs, " I'm fantastic in bed!"

That's Spam.
