I just wanted to post a quick weather report.

I have not been posting much lately because my wife (Donyo) has just given birth to our 3rd son, about 6 weeks ago, and things have been very hectic (to say the least!). He is a beautiful little guy and we have been so happy to welcome him into our little family.

So, I wanted to say sorry for letting the posts slow down alot for the last month and a bit. I am setting myself a goal of a minimum of one post per week for the next few months. There is so much great stuff to write about and share.. so hopefully, I can get some sleep! and write some more in the coming weeks and months..
Advertising
I have for as long as we have been blogging here on Reiki Blogger been in two minds about whether I like having ads on the site? Advertising has never really been the point for having Reiki Blogger but sometimes I think that there are some good sites out there, and it is really hard to find them.. and by letting people put an ad on our site, maybe people might find something that is otherwise really difficult to stumble upon.

So, I have decided to just keep the links across the top, which are ads by google. And I will continue to accept donations that some people have sent through to list their link in the blogroll. (So far I think we have just about paid for the hosting costs.. which is actually really cool..)

But, please do not take this in any way, shape or form as encouraging anyone to send me money. Keep it. Spend it on your reiki room. And if something I wrote makes sense and helped you. Take the credit yourself. If you were not open to receive the gift, it would remain just empty words!
Feedback
And I also wanted to say thanks to those people that have been sending emails and feedback. It is great to get an email from you guys. And I really appreciate all your thoughts and feedback. It helps me know what to write about.. and it is nice to connect with other reiki people.
Comments
We continue to be unable to activate comments on this blog. So I have given up trying. They will work for a day or two and then when someone submits a comment it does not get sent and the person gets a blank white screen.

I have experimented with re-installing our templates and hosting software (wordpress), but it does not seem to fix the problem. So, please send me an email if you have a comment or thought about something, I check them at least once a week, and will try and reply as quickly as I can.
Forum
While we are on housekeeping things.. We have had 15 people vote so far on whether they would like a forum to grow out of Reiki Blogger.. which at this stage I think, although the majority did think it was a good idea.. that is not really enough people to start one up. We have quite a few more people subscribed to Reiki Blogger.. so the community is here.. but, some people feel more comfortable not taking an active role.. which a forum would be.

The original inspiration for the forum was mainly because the comments were not working.. and I did not want the blog to just be all about me. I wanted people to have a chance to share their wisdom and learnings about reiki too.

But, it is early days. Maybe in the second half of the year?
Be well
Keep up your daily practise.. and be well. TC
