I just read a few of my friends blogs and I feel so inspeired and also privileged to be let into a little of their lives. For a while I have been thinking about why I blog and whether it is rather self involved. But I do think it is so important to hear and read about other people's life journeys. I know I lose perspective so easily and need to be reminded of the common struggles we all face as we learn to live. I especially am inspired by other women who share their wisdom via their blogs. So despite all the flack that personal blogs attract, I love them. They are democrasy in action and help to alleviate the lonliness and isolation of 21st century living.
