Lucky me

I never thought I would be one of those women who chooses career over mmmmm...pretty much everything else. And well, I'm not that woman, but sometimes I feel the pull. I'm a natural competitor, and it becomes very tempting to see what I can accomplish in the corporate world. But in the grand scheme of things, it's not what I want for my life. I want to be able to give to others though. I would like to be able to give monetarily, but also give of myself- and I'm stuck in the rut of believing that you need money to free up your time and open doors for you. This bothers me.
