Pls Check Out My Website :)

[Bliss Sage]

I am just getting my website started. I haven't got it all organized yet, as I have a lot of poems to add to it, but the blog part is functional and I have posted some pictures in the photo gallery.

I have good intentions with my website and I hope it will become a means to helping people, ultimately, to helping people who don't have access to the kind of PD and therapies that we have, but who are in far more need of these services than we are (we in the Western cultures).

I'll welcome any feedback, but please present negative feedback in a nice way

Nice pics!

I like the design and colours of your blog. I think the colours really suit the theme of your blog.

Hi, Bliss Sage! Congratulations on your Internet presence! I like the colors and layout very much, and your pictures, too. My first impression, from the word "heavenly" along with the cloud photo, is that you are religious (like, "personal interventionist god) and I don't think you are, are you? Do you reckon that may affect your traffic, one way or the other? (attracting religious folks, repelling non-religious folks). Does it matter to you?

I also especially like the blog post that you end by asking questions, which I think will invite people to participate with you.

Best wishes with your site!

Fabulous site, I say.

I like the Therapy in Writing section the most. I enjoy reading things from people who can be completely open and honest.

That's great news, because I took a WordPress theme and changed as much of it as I could--I didn't want it to be that tan/brown shade, but it did match the picture and site theme, I just couldn't change the browns. There is still some blue stuck in there.

Hmmm...not such a good thing. I was thinking more of angels and all the good they stand for with the word "celestial". And that "Heaven Starts with You" meaning that heaven is inside you, or it begins inside of you. Because ultimately, I think heaven and hell are experiences you make inside yourself, so heaven starts with you.

It does. I'm not really looking to attract really religious people. Most wouldn't like what I write, maybe some of what I write, but not much. I don't write about religion or things with opinions that would appeal to them. I do write about angels, but between my poetic license, vivid imagination and reality, who's to say if "my angels" are religious? I don't want religion to have a monopoly on poetry and goodness, so I hope those things won't affect the kind of traffic I get...and whether I or others believe in God or not isn't relevant to my website or what I write on it, I can only hope that will come through.

That's what I'm hoping. I get more questions than answers when I come to Steve's site...

That's great, because most of what I have written is for that category. I changed the category name from "Poetic Healing" because I realized not all I have to put there is poetic. It's basically just writings that have helped me process stuff.

And thank you all for the encouraging feedback
