As a blogger you can't always predict when your whole site goes viral

I had an experience like this during the last 24 hours where suddenly my readership went up 4 or 5 times in numbers.

If you don't understand what viral actually means, it means people recommend an article or your whole site to friends and they to friends and they to friends.

So, when you have a world wide site like mine things can go viral and just go and go and go when enough people become interested in any given article or the whole site.

And I find it is difficult to impossible to predict these things or knowing what is going to set people off and just go and go and go worldwide.

But, if you are a blogger and check your stats like I have since about 2010 or 2011 I find I can share more of what people seem to be interested in as long as I'm interested in it too. So, blogging usually is not as much about you as the blogger as it is what people are going to be interested in around the world.

However, I guess it also depends upon what your motivation is for blogging.

I started blogging (before it was even called that) in 1999 in the summer after I realized I wasn't going to die like Doctors had thought I would for 8 months time from about September 1998 until May of 1999.

I had had a heart virus which at the time was something most people died from then here in California (at least the ones that I knew of).

So, blogging was a promise I made to God to write about what amazing things God had always brought into my life if I survived an operation where they did an angiogram and electric heart stimulation at the time. Actually, the worst part is I begged them not to drug me anymore but the nurse said, "We can't have your body jumping off the guerney when we do electric heart stimulation to test to see what we can fix."

So, that was the scariest part. My angiogram in comparison was just interesting because I could watch them snake a scope up my femoral artery up my leg into my heart. But electrical heart stimulation was terrifying because of the intense meds they forced me to take.

So, 6 months after that when they told me I might live a normal lifespan (I was 50 then and almost 70 now) I started writing about how God has made my life so amazing in gratitude for each new moment of life now.

I see my life as Grace ever since then. My middle Aged Crazy died and now I just take each and every moment as a blessing and a grace of God. So, each moment is Grace.

In my own mind I died that year so in my mind I was forced to retire and I live in  a heaven state ever since, Sort of like in Shambala Heaven with the King of Shambala. Like  visiting Ling Ripoche in Dharamshala was a harbinger and a foreteller of.

By God's Grace

I think the most viral article I ever had was this one somehow:
