As working moms, it's easy to fall prey to feeling guilty for devoting time to our careers.  But, after reading your responses to our recent survey, we are happy to hear that so many of you continue to feel proud about your role as a working mom.

It seems our Working Moms Only readers are an amazing group of women who take pride in their career and their family lives and continuously strive to be the best they can be.  This is why we want to share your responses to our recent survey with you here today.

This is your input and input from other working moms just like you. And, the most powerful way we can support each other as a community is to share our own experiences and information with each other.  Because, even though at times it may feel like we are all alone, the truth is, there are thousands of women out there going through the same things we are experiencing in our lives as well.

This is what community is all about.  And, with Mother's Day right around the corner, now is the perfect time to acknowledge ourselves and our accomplishments.  It is also the perfect opportunity to take a break and appreciate ourselves for everything we do.

We hope you gain as much value from these responses as we have gained here at Working Moms Only.com.
