I’ve been following the good advice offered at 9rules as they build to Round 5 of submissions. And I’ve heeded a lot of it. I’ve cleaned and designed and streamlined and written. Recently I added the WP “Tags in the Head” plugin and set it up. My traffic doubled within days. Now it’s at a whopping 350 unique visitors a day. I know, big deal, but it is to me. As far as traffic, I don’t think I’m greedy, just a little needy, of attention. Being a performing artist, a clarinetist, I thrive on the public. I love interacting with people. So for me it’s not about money, just lots of love, or not. I enjoy attention of any kind.

Meredith over at Graceful Presence posted a poem by Rassouli called ‘Dancing with the Devine”. It sums up some of the ideas I wish to amplify here on a regular basis: connecting with the Self, the Great Spirit which resides inside and outside us, but which we need to nurture and cultivate. I like the idea of dancing with it, which implied play rather than work. Thank you, Meredith.
