Life Interruptions, Vol 1, a women’s anthology written by six African-American women from Atlanta, GA, is a reminiscent, insightful, thoughtful, and creative masterpiece that shares one of each woman’s most memorable life intermission that overshadowed her purpose, hampered her passion, and temporarily derailed her mission to press toward the prize for which God called her heavenward (Philippians 3:14). As women, we all have experienced the loss of a loved one, a shift in family dynamics, ending an intimate relationship, depreciation in self-confidence and self-love, slothful ambition, stagnation in productivity; we have made decisions to challenge social norms and may have experienced or witnessed some type of abuse. The writers challenge women from every walk of life, of every faith and religion, and of every ethnicity around the world to break social norms–courageously, cultivate loving and healthy relationships–faithfully, cope with tragic losses–gracefully, embrace self-love–confidently, improve family dynamics–spiritually, master single parenthood–dynamically, and fall in love with health and wellness–passionately.They wholeheartedly believe in the proverb iron sharpens iron, and that women should serve as a mirrored reflection to each other. Through the telling of such honest, soul-bearing, vulnerable, quirky, and unrelenting life accounts, the breadth of the writers’ experiences should implore readers to reflect on their own lives and remove people, frivolous things, and ideologies that do not serve their life’s purpose. Each of these women have persevered and overcome the lowest points of their valleys so that they can stand high on the peaks of their life’s mountaintops … Striving to operate in their full authenticity is the ultimate goal. God fearfully and wonderfully made them, and He fearfully and wonderfully made you, too … Your life is worth it, and you deserve to live it on a high as long as you shall live. Sister, you have compassed around this mountain long enough … Now, turn and take your journey (Deuteronomy 2:3).
