Personal Space

A woman needs a personal space. Personal space is a hideaway that is not far and unreachable. It is about peace and serenity. It is a place you can go to and feel peace with yourself and with the world. A place that will always make your heart feel warm. A place you can go to always feel special about yourself.

A woman should have an old love she can imagine going back to, and one who reminds her how far she has come.
Something perfect to wear if the date of her dreams wants to see her in an hour.
One friend who always makes her laugh and one who lets her cry,
She has also a list of the things she believes every woman should know like:
How to quit a job, break up with a lover, and confront a friend without ruining the friendship. That she can't change the length of her calves, the width of her hips, or the nature of her parents.
Whom she can trust, who she can't and why she shouldn't take it personally.

Reflection

A man stood to speak at the funeral of a friend. He referred to the dates on her tombstone, from beginning to the end. He noted that first, came the date of birth and the second, was the date of demise. He spoke of the latter with tears. But he said what mattered most was the "dash" between those years: 1946-2006.
It made me think. Have I been living my life well? Am I doing enough? It will make you think of what is truly important. Not your riches or your material possessions but how you lived your life.

When it is time for us to meet our Creator, when family and friends go to our wake, what will they say about our "dash"? How did we spend that little line? Did that little line left a mark to the people you have encountered?
