The 411…: Why did you decide to start a blog?

Life Is Love: Anything I like, I usually write down so you can imagine the number of notebooks I have, surely there had to be a simpler way to do it?

Life Is Love: It might not get raving reviews or hundreds of likes but as long as your message edifies – It’s good.

The 411…: What would you prioritize? Content? S.E.O.? Traffic? Readers?
