    When life gets in the way

    Alison Bert on September 20th, 2008 | Filed under Life Maintenance, Spirituality, Writing, Philosophy

    I’ve taken a bit of a break from this blog due to life circumstances. But the visit of a “stranger” here yesterday inspired me to continue. I remembered how important it is to keep writing about the stuff that gets in the way of life, which is really life itself. I’m going to think about how much I want to share. And remind myself that the prose doesn’t have to be perfect in order to post.
