Can we stop this?

This piece written by Elizabeth Gilbert, author of the hugely successful book-soon-to-be-blockbuster movie Eat, Pray, Love really got me thinking.

Especially this part:

" My sister, Catherine, told me recently about a conversation she'd had with a sweet neighbor who—after watching Catherine spend an afternoon organizing a scavenger hunt for all the local kids—said sadly, "You're such a better mother than I will ever be." At which point, my sister grabbed her friend's hands and said, "Please. Let's not do this to each other, okay?"
No, seriously—please. Let's not. "


Why do women discredit themselves so much? This article made me think that we need to A) stop discrediting ourselves and B) stop doing it to the women around us, which probably will happen when we start being kinder to ourselves.

I hereby take a wow to follow Elizabeth's advice and lighten up and enjoy failing :-)

love,
