  5. First off I would like to say great blog! I had a quick question that I’d like to ask if you don’t mind.

    I was interested to know how you center yourself and clear your mind before writing.
    I have had difficulty clearing my thoughts in getting my thoughts out
    there. I do take pleasure in writing however it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes tend to be lost simply just trying
    to figure out how to begin. Any recommendations
    or tips? Thank you!

  7. Hi! I realize this is sort of off-topic however I needed to ask.
    Does running a well-established blog like yours take a lot of work?
    I am brand new to blogging however I do write in my diary
    daily. I’d like to start a blog so I can share my experience
    and views online. Please let me know if you have any kind of suggestions or
    tips for new aspiring bloggers. Appreciate it!
