    I was curious if you ever thought of changing the layout of your website?
    Its very well written; I love what youve got to say.
    But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better.

    Youve got an awful lot of text for only having one or 2 pictures.
    Maybe you could space it out better?

    Hi! I realize this is kind of off-topic but I
    needed to ask. Does building a well-established website like yours take a lot of
    work? I’m completely new to operating a blog but I do write in my journal daily.
    I’d like to start a blog so I can easily share my own experience and feelings online.

    Please let me know if you have any kind of recommendations or tips for new
    aspiring bloggers. Appreciate it!
