I just morphed into it and those friendships. The learning is wonderful too - about how people are healthwise, and how they hear of people coping with their past lives, and present ones ... then the educative content I enjoy - but importantly all the knowledge bases for authors etc ... <br /><br />Cheers and thanks so much for being here - hope the weekend isn't too frantic for you - HilaryHilary Melton-Butcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17596532480645510678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8681132888977525688.post-45707150303558426542015-11-06T22:51:47.006-06:002015-11-06T22:51:47.006-06:00Weekends are harder for me as I work solo both day...Weekends are harder for me as I work solo both days and am on first call, too.

However some of my posts are constantly getting pageviews (one about a legend Siegfried and Brunhildr, and many of my Paris posts and A to Z posts. Those still keep bringing in readers.I gave my blog link to the owner of the company that rents apartments in Paris (where we rented from) and he gave it to his staff so they could send travellers to read the posts. Of course I reviewed his company first. I have lots of material under my tabs at the top to make it easy to find old posts. It means work updating it, but it makes it easier for the reader.D.G.
