10 Things Every Woman Should Know

Everyone has rolls when they bend over When someone tells you you're beautiful believe them, they aren't lying Sometimes we all wake up with breath that could kill a goat For every woman glum about stretch marks another wishes she had them. You should have more confidence, if you saw yourself the way others do, you would Don't look for a man to save you, be ready to save yourself It's okay to not love every part of your body, but you should. We all have 1 friend who seems to have it together. The one with the perfect life, well, you might be that woman to someone else; You should be a priority not an option, a last resort or a backup plan You are a woman, that alone makes you pretty damn remarkable !

Gosh, after reading this I don't feel so wrinkly, my tummy rolls seem smaller, and maybe I should remember that my "goat breath" (funny) can easily be gone with a mouthwash swish. If you look deeper you'll find that people with what we perceive is perfect life do not. Your poem filled with reality and empathy is wonderful. I am going to print off a copy and tape it next to my bathroom mirror to read each morning

What's amazing to me here is how much of this list focuses on the physical. I guess beauty really is skin-deep -- or at least it often seems so! :) gw

This is amazing, love all of it but especially 'we all wake up with breath that could kill a goat' - yes we do! And so what? This is something every woman (and most men) should read!

Trump, Putin, and many CEOs don't seem to realise that without women, there are no men . . .Aloha!
