Honestly, sometimes it is so hard to escape the 'Judgement World.' You know the 'darned if you do, darned if you don't' ( don't you just love my version with 'mormon words?') As a mother, wife, WOMAN, it seems so hard at times to feel comfortable in your skin and confident in your decisions.' How am I as a mother? Well lets look at so and so.' ' How am I as a wife? Well I am definitely not like "her".' After awhile the 'keeping up with the Jones's' seems impossible. Well, who are the Jones's and really what makes them so different from us? I'm sure not much if anything at all. I love being a woman, I love being a wife and mother. We are who we are and that is exactly how we were made to be on this earth. Rejoice in it, love it, embrace it. We have so much to offer and so much planned for us. I need to be me at all costs, and guess what? I love me and I love my life. So stop looking at the person next to you and wishing you were more like that. You are you and that's who you are, and it's wonderful.

One of my fave quotes by some general authority (I'd have to look it up to see who, some 70) is: "Don't compare yourself with others. It will either end up in you feeling bad about yourself, or in you thinking you are better than others." I like to keep that in mind. We are who we are and we just need to love each other.
