Great article. This nicely sums up how I've been feeling lately. I especially love to witness the talents of my sisters and I feel so blessed to have my children surrounded by such strong, amazing women--it will help shape their view of what womanhood is. I like seeing other women succeed, it reinforces what I believe about our gender--that we are strong, capable and have something unique to offer.
There have been times when I have been caught in the comparison snare and have felt down on myself for being [insert whatever age] and feeling like I have accomplished so little. As I approach the big 35, I am happy to say that I truly feel comfortable in my own skin, and feel content with the talents I've been given (and I'm proud of those of you who have figured this out already.) That said, I believe there are still dormant talents in each of us waiting to be discovered and developed, and that idea makes me very excited for the future.

I love this, thank you for sharing Liz! We are all so different and unique and when we can start appreciating the differences in others we can begin to see them and love them for who they are and not for who we wish they were. I need to be better at not having a little box of what a perfect mother/woman should fit in, and allowing myself and others to be their best selves. I think we're all on a continual path to discover what "our best self" looks like and how we want to develop ourselves in to that. I'm excited to see where this takes us as adults and mothers. Thank you to all my sisters for being so confident and grounded in the gospel. I think those two attributes are vital in allowing us to appreciate ourselves and the differences in others. I am better for getting to rub shoulders with you all on a regular basis! Love you all!
