APRIL Charleston, SC
Escape the ordinary
Don’t tell us you’re not a superwoman! You’re at your best in a crisis. It’s April. The downpours come, but you’ve been around town long enough to know how to get around the streets that flood. Your hurricane pantry is fully stocked. You know how to change a tire, check your oil, and use your AAA card. You can fix what’s broken with super glue, duct tape, or a quick phone call. You can heal what hurts with time, a Band-Aid, a kiss and a hug. You’re always the one with the safety pin, the stain remover pen, the hemming tape, the airline miles to fly you and a friend whose heart needs mending to a faraway island where they put paper umbrellas in your drinks. You give away your super secrets because they might make someone else’s life easier.You’re the friend who holds your friends’ hands through their crises, and you don’t do it because you expect anything in return. You’re the rescuer—you stopped waiting for Prince Charming to come along on a white horse a long time ago (and if he did you probably rescued him).You and you alone are the heroine of your life story.And it can be as amazing as your imagination can make it.
