Thank you for taking the risk!
The following quote from an
interview I once read seems relevant:
Quote:
What is great content? In my opinion the best content you can create is the deepest truth you find within yourself.
What do I mean by that? Most people write about what they’re certain of. You’re certain about your knowledge. You’re fairly certain about your opinions too. But when you write about these things, you aren’t sharing a deep enough truth, so it isn’t going to resonate with people except in a superficial way. You’re simply creating disposable content, competing with a zillion other sites doing the same.
On the other hand, if you explore your uncertainty, you’ll be going much deeper. What are you unsure of, fearful of, or resistant to? What ideas bother you, but you can’t figure out why? What is your heart telling you that your mind can’t yet accept? These are the key topics to explore in your writing. When you dig deep within yourself, find new insights at the edge of your uncertainty, and share them, your writing will really resonate with people. And that will generate all the traffic you could ever want.

Most of your posts from August 13th on have been of a higher caliber than even the great content we're used to getting from you. There seems to be something at play beyond the content itself. A different energy, for lack of a better word.
Have you been doing anything new (meditation, visualization, I-M, etc.) that you care to share?
