Every single one of you women have worth – some of you are just more aware and accepting of it than others.  Knowing where to look to find your authentic self is the key.  It is within you, if you would only take the courage to look.

When a woman is aware of her worth and she is confident about who she is, something wonderful occurs:  her partner, her children and all those who surround her or come into contact with her, benefit in the most incredible ways.

I have met many women of worth, and I continue to meet them.  Those who left the deepest impression upon me were those whom I had the honour of meeting in Italy.  What impressed me most is that despite whatever was going on around them at any given time, they were grounded, sure of themselves, gifted with a lovely sense of humour and blessed with an ancient wisdom that “even if the old bastard is having an affair, it is okay because one day, he will come home to Mama.”  This from a beautiful Signora in her early fifties who had money, a gorgeous villa in Rome, apartments in Monaco, Ibiza and Mustique and an intriguing hubbie in his late sixties who just couldn’t keep “il pisello” in his pants.  She shared with me that if she had not been educated in the ways of a woman of worth, that she would have succumbed to depression and despondancy.  But because she knew her own worth, she was able to live a full, splendid life with many rewards.  And yes, she loved her hubby with all of her heart.  She doted on him, entertained his friends and most of all, she put up with his “flirtations”. “Sono solo sciocchezze” – “it’s only silliness” she would say and sip her Amoretto.

Moral of the story, Ladies:  there is hope, and it comes in many forms, shapes and sizes, to coin a phrase.
