~ 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...

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

~ what she can and can't accomplish in a day... a month...and a year...
~ when to be strong and stand alone… when to be soft and allow comforts from others…
~ how to budget on a shoe string… and stick to it…
~ how to entertain on a mini budget… and how to make it look like it was catered…
