I wanted you to know that I really like your blog, and I think you are an excellent writer and that you evoke a lot of different feelings in what you write.<br /><br />I have not been reading or blogging a lot these last months, because, frankly, I have been very depressed about my own circumstances and life, and so not real motivated to read or write. <br /><br />One of the ways I gained readership was by finding blogs that were open-minded enough to read my blog after an invitation to do so; and, then I asked--based on their response--to include me in their list of frequented blogs. Joining blogrolls or blogrings with a certain bent, also helped because it sorts the blogs and then people can use it as an index for their interests. Maybe you might consider joining some Episcopal or Lutheran blogrolls to get you started because readership will grow from these humble beginnings.<br /><br />I know I would like to know what you think about the new Presiding Bishop and the Church itself. If that's too personal, I understand.<br /><br />I care about interrelationships too. I am a quality vs quantity person when it comes to frienships or personal romantic relationships as well. I discern you are too.<br />At this point in my life I have more friends on the east coast than I do on the west so the virtual emailing and telephone calls are what keep us together [as well as sharing pictures].<br /><br />I think a lot of your opinion and so that is whay I list your blog on my list of favorite blogs :-).<br /><br />Feel free to publish this or not, dear, but know you are a good writer and that people simply need to be given direction on how to find your work.<br /><br />Blessings,<br /><br />Catherine+ in OregonCatherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04267544451078638468noreply@blogger.com
