I say that half if not most of the things people brag about is a lie. So I don't believe it and therefore just do what I got to do. Sometimes I do feel that I am competing but then I remind myself to just do my own thing.

No, I don't feel like I am competition from other women. I have confidence in my own abilities to achieve success. I own my own business and I am my own biggest competitor and challenge. I drive myself very hard and sometimes forget to stop and play. I value the other women in my life who offer their friendship and have helped mentor me along the way. There are a lot of great mentors out there and we all need them. I think I have learned to pick my friends carefully and to stay away from women who don't support other women.

Sometimes when I hang out with my friends that are what I call "super homemakers" I start feeling down on myself. I don't know how they can possibly get done what they do in a week. My husband can usually tell when this happens because I'm trying to bake a batch of cookies, while working on the computer and carrying our daughter around the house, while kicking a laundry basket down the hall. So yeah, I feel the need to keep up a lot.
