  Well, it takes more than a day or so to end up in the various searches. (PS – consider adding your blog to your profile.)

  Also ad it to your website. Sorry if I insulted you in the first reply. I actually like it.

  I can’t find ‘myself’, either! I’ve used tags such as ‘spirituality’, ‘religion’, ‘life’ and others. When I search for my site I can’t find it. What gives? I am very new to blogging, too! Sorry!
