Let's find a way to bottle your secret formula....we'll make a fortune! I've had moments where that's happened to me too - I just realize how ridiculous my self-recriminations are and just laugh at myself. It's a great feeling. Awesome Foxie!

I agree with Steve, this post could be a segment of a book! I appreciate this post because it is hard for me not to compare myself to other bloggers. But there are ways to be competitive without cutting myself down. These tips are a great reminder of the steps I can take to feel good about myself and remember what is truly important in my life - what I have, not what I wish I had. My list includes: -a truly giving and understanding mother -a job that allows me to be creative and write -friends and family who are supportive and nice to me! -good health -passion for life I feel better already.
