The Pinstripe Tent
Share
We are professionals, artists, mothers, friends and sisters from every race, creed and color. If someone told you about us, you're probably supposed to be here!
Welcome to a modern alternative to The Red Tent where according to ancient law, women took refuge while menstruating or giving birth, and in which they found mutual support and encouragement from their mothers, sisters and aunts. While our roles have changed since biblical times, our need for mutual support has not. Whether you need a hairdresser, a mentor, child-rearing advice or confirmation that someone hears you, this is the place to come!
I never do the chain FB thing but this was too good!
Rules For My Daughter:
1. Don’t knock it ’til you try it.
2. Send Thank You cards for every act of hospitality — except another Thank You card.
3. Travel light through life. Keep only what you need.
4. Put cream (or Kahlua when you're 21) in your coffee, and twice as much when you miss me.
5. It’s okay to cry when you’re hurt. It’s also okay to smash things; but, wash your face, clean your mess, and get up off the floor when you’re done. You don’t belong down there.
6. If you’re going to curse, be clever. If you’re going to curse in public, know your audience.
7. Seek out the people and places that resonate with your soul.
8. Just because you can doesn’t mean you should.
9. 5-second rule. It’s just dirt. There are worse things in a fast food cheeseburger.
10. Happiness is not a permanent state. Wholeness is. Don’t confuse these.
11. If you’re staying more than one night, unpack your bag.
12. Never walk through an alley.
13. Be less sugar, more spice, and only as nice as you’re able to without compromising yourself.
14. Can’t is a cop-out. Don’t want to is perfectly acceptable.
15. Hold your heroes to a high standard. Be your own hero.
16. If you can’t smile with your eyes, don’t smile. Insincerity is nothing to aspire to.
17. Never lie to yourself.
18. Your body, your rules.
19. If you have an opinion, you better know why.
20. Study your curiosities and practice your passions.
21. Ask for what you want.
22. Wish on stars and dandelions, then get to work.
23. Don’t skimp on good sheets.
24. Fall in love often. Particularly with ideas, art, music, literature, food and far-off places.
25. Fall hard and forever in love with nothing but yourself.
26. Say Please, Thank You, and Pardon Me, whenever the situation warrants it.
27. Reserve I’m sorry for when you truly are.
28. Naps are for grown-ups, too.
29. Question everything except your own intuition.
30. You have enough. You are enough.
31. You are amazing! Don't let anyone ever make you feel you are not. If someone does....walk away. You deserve better.
32. Learn to recognize success and failure for the imposters they both are.
Copy and paste with a picture of your daughter(s). All our daughters should know this.

Thank you Olga Khazan! This is a powerful read full of disturbing research. Thankfully each of us, men and women, can change this now. Success and happiness ARE NOT zero sum games. Let's show the world how to change it up and have fun driving the trends in positive new directions!
