I do not have the statistics for my blog on my home page because of certain reasons.

I think when you look at a blog and you look at the statistics on the side bar and see the hits being in the high numbers you automatically assume that it is a good blog. I don’t want the value of my blog to be analyzed by numbers, I want it to be analyzed by the effect it has on my audience.

Second, when I have looked at blogs which have very high numbers I have felt my own worth deflated. If my blog attracts other bloggers which are just starting out and struggling to gain traffic I do not want to deflate their hope when they see my numbers.

Third, I have no knowledge base as to how to get google ranked nor do I care about such things. I have gained traffic because I try to write good content and the increase in traffic is due to God, not me.

It is Him who has caused my numbers to go so high. I just merely write what is on my heart.

Saying this I am pleased to announce that as of today I have crossed the mark of exceeding 800,000 hits and my blog is just a baby, less than a year old.

My blog has also traveled into 75-80 different countries on a regular basis, far beyond what I could ever have imagined.

I want to welcome each and every person from every country and culture around the world. I simply adore people from other countries and nothing excites me more than to learn about your cultures and customs.

I want to especially give a shout out to Australia. You people are amazing! I have more people in Australia than I have in America who are reading me and I am hoping one day to be able to visit your enchanting country.

No matter how well written a blog is, it is worthless if it does not have an audience. My success is inexplicably linked to each and every one of you who take time out of your day to read my writings. I am humbled by the many who have subscribed and the large number who have read my work.

I appreciate and value each one of you and send you hugs and love from the bottom of my heart.

Glory to God and thankfulness to all of you for the success I have achieved.
