Though I am a strong believer in having a God-given partner, I never want my niece to feel as if she has to wait on others to look nice or even wait to use her career skills to buy great things. I am a beautifully, strong single woman and I want my niece to know she has the intelligence and skill to achieve what she wants, and more importantly, what she needs. As I wrote in 7 Women 7 Words, it’s important that my niece sees an example of a smart, career woman with the ability to purchase nice clothes and comfortable, dazzling shoes if she wants to. I want to be that example so she won’t have to look too far to find that example and examine if that’s the type of woman she wants to be.
