Why Your Blog Traffic Might Be Declining And What to Do About It [PLUS Find Your Spark]

Hi Reader,

Yesterday I turned 50!

While the temptation was there to spend the day celebrating or perhaps even bemoaning how old I feel, I decided to spend some time today reflecting upon how I want the year ahead to be.

This year is a year I intend to get unstuck.

As part of that, I'm sharing a weekly 'prompt' via an email to those who want to join me on the journey that I hope will give us all a little push to contemplate ways where we might find that missing spark in our lives.
