Hi -- glad you stopped by! Why bother blogging for just pennies? As I said before and I will say it again -- baby steps. This is a work in progress and I am just learning about blogging and maybe your learning something too.
Well I did try to blog -- on another blog -- called Wordpress.org and it wouldn't let me monetize. It refused Adsense right away. So, I felt like I had wasted my time on that. Maybe there is a good reason -- but on this blog -- it was accepted right away. Oh Adsense -- is the advertisements on the blog. I know some people might find the adds annoying but -- I was so happy it worked right away. I mean if I am only going to make a few dollars or maybe a few cents -- better to use a free add service. After all I told you the purpose of the blog is to try and make some revenue and maybe after a lot of work I will figure everything out. One problem is that -- if people don't poke around the adds - click on them - they are probably a slow and painful way to make money. Hey, I need followers too, that would boost my morale.
I read an article on blogging that was from a Christian blogging site and sure enough he talked about "hosting sites". Right now -- that all goes right over my head. But, sure enough on Wordpress.org there was a whole list of them and I take it that they help you with a lot of blog stuff -- but at this penniless stage -- I rather do it slow and figure more things out.
Because this blog is also Spiritual in nature I thought I would share a story with you. My daughter Lisa died at age 10 from Addison's disease. She was misdiagnosed. Yes, it was 25 years ago but my heart will be forever broken. I told a co-worker whose daughter was very sick -- about Lisa - the darkened pigment -- the vitiligo (white spots) -- the many flu's and viruses -- the doctors kept diagnosing as a skin disorder and flu's and viruses!!!! Sure Lisa had passed over a good ten years by this time -- but it was like yesterday to me. Anyway to make a long story short -- her 15 year old daughter did end up having Addison's --and -- got saved -- from Lisa's story! The odds of that happening were like 1 out of 1 trillion statistically. A true miracle! If you know anyone with these types of symptoms you should tell them about Addison's.
I'm practising my blogging as I tell you another amazing story. A former boss whose occupation I will not mention -- found out where I lived -- after he read what happened to Lisa in the newspaper. He told me that he had died a few times on the operating table -- and -- that he was taken to a place that he could only describe as being beautiful beyond human words -- and -- that he saw many of his loved ones and they were very real to him -- more real than in this life. He reassured me that I would be with my daughter -- and he had no doubts whatsoever about that.
One thing that struck me was that he had been taken to a beautiful room that was filled with books from every religion of the Universe. He told me that you don't speak -- you do -- but telepathically -- which really makes a lot of sense if you think about it. Everything will become crystal clear, beautiful beyond words, and most importantly the reason were all here is to learn and be full of "love". That was the big lesson: love! He even got to meet a beautiful being "God" who had a funny sense of humour. The warmth and love he felt made him not want to return to his body -- but he was told by a voice -- it was not his time. I was so grateful for that story!
I was really taken aback by this revelation but it has helped me cope with my daughter having passed over. Also, being spiritual in nature has helped me to appreciate life. And, I think like this -- I have to live life to the fullest for my daughter -- after all -- her genes are inside of me -- so every breath I take is for her.
Now back to my thoughts about blogging. I was wondering if anyone has had any good experiences with a donation button? I mean do they really work? You create it in your customize paypal account and paste the html stuff into your html box. So maybe someone who thinks heck -- I would like to give the gal a free latte for her story -- they can -- if they really want to. Just another way to possibly make revenue on your blog.
I will try to post one on the bottom of this story just for a lark. Down the road I will let you know how and if it all works out.
So, I created a blog, monetized it, and now I am going to try the Donation Button.
A very special message to my readers -- give feedback please. And, as always stay safe, love and live life to the fullest -- and share your stories on how you save money.
Today, I bought one iced tea instead of two. I told you -- baby steps.
Buy a gal a Latte?
