i want to devote today to thanking all of you who stop by. it's the last day of july, and i was thrilled to see that this month the site had just under 5,500 hits. it's not a number anywhere near that approaching a "major" site, but seems plenty for a little personal site like this one.

such success in only the third month -- with all archive, server, and search engine problems we've had -- makes me so happy. i'm glad that you all enjoy this site, staying an average of more than 4 minutes, and returning on average 3 times in a month. i want to thank you all again.

i do look at the server logs to see the number of hits each day, in an attempt to understand whether you'd like more yoga, more pizza, more chocolate. . .more ???? and i really can't figure it out! of course it seems random -- some people are regular visitors, who drop by as they have time; others come once after seeing the site on a search engine or blog update page.

whether regular, intrigued first-timer, or bored surfer, i welcome you all. especially i encourage you to keep on writing so i can improve the blog and communicate with you more effectively. it's amazing what an email can do!

for example, a very nice person interested in integral yoga wrote me the other day; we got to chatting via email only to discover that she been interested for a while in the teacher i was taking private lessons from, nancy lanasa! so i could help her make that connection, giving her nancy's URL at emerald coast yoga and the email address!

whatever your interest is -- coffee? chocolate? -- i hope to be able to do the same for you. show you something you'd like to know, if you'd only heard about it.

likewise, if you know something, i'd like to know, drop me the URL. and thanks again! we'll all start august tomorrow together. those truly hot august days that are coming tell me we will need to focus more on cool coffee and chocolate desserts. . .
