It never ceases to amaze me what draws huge hits to “hugmamma’s mind, body, and soul.”
When I participated in the “365 photo challenge,” certain posts attracted hundreds and hundreds of viewers. I soon attributed my choice of words in the caption as to why all the hoopla. I think people expected to see naked bodies frolicking about, or something along those lines. Especially when one “hugmamma” is the blogger. You’d think it read “hot mama.” Makes me laugh, just reminiscing about my naivete in thinking I was being recognized as a…good writer…and better-than-average photographer.

Just recently my blog experienced a tremendous number of hits. One day alone saw almost 900 visitors. Now that my numbers are back to normal, I’ve determined that the fuss was about “Dilbert“ and his creator’s, Scott Adams, articles about taking risks.
I’ve no magic bullet to attracting viewers to “hugmamma’s mind, body, and soul.” I’m certain never to be a candidate for WordPress‘s “freshly pressed.” I’m almost certain I’m not their cup of tea…or coffee. Anyway, they’ve millions from which to choose. And there are bloggers who’ve got the know how to get chosen; while others just happen into…the right place…at the right time.

So as my readership floats back to earth, I just wanted to thank those of you who get me…as a writer…and person. I’m just one of you…up one day, down the next…but still happy…
…to be alive…and writing…
