It’s time again to play “WHAT ARE THEY READING?”  Instead of writing a book, I decided to make my “notes” available through the Internet to anybody.  And instead of marketing, I have used word of mouth to spread them.  I have posted over 175 articles here in the three years since March 2005.  During last month (July 2008), each day an average of 270 different visitors read 1395 articles, and downloaded 109 megabytes worth of my articles and pictures.  That’s a monthly total of over 7843 visitors downloading over 40.446 articles.  I salute my readers. 

 

The top read articles seem to be becoming a fairly steady set.  The very “top of the top” is that article on what to do when he/she leaves.  I imagine 772 hurting people came here last month.

 

Sprinkled throughout are a series of MP3 downloadable audio files that you can buy, drop onto your Ipod or a CD and listen in your car.  Also you can find me on Facebook and I do consult with people by phone.  

 

You can donate to my site if you wish. For you computer types, think of it as shareware.

 

This includes a link to a book being written by a friend based on his journey through my website.  He’s even offering a draft copy.  Enjoy.

There are several helpful online communities that seem to be places to share your thoughts and struggles about relationships.  I congratulate them all.  Also, I encourage those of you who are really grasping what I write, to consider sharing what you have learned and to work with others. 


  

The following is the ranking of my top 25 articles from June. Thanks to all of you for reading, learning something, for sharing it with others, and for referring people here.  I hope what I have shared is helpful to you. If it has been, you might let me know.  If you want me to focus new writing on some area, please let me know.  I have a list. Also I may use your priorities to re-write or expand some of my more popular articles. Drop me an email at al@turtlecounseling.com.
