September News

Hello Everyone,

Paul here: This month Sheryl and I are putting out a vision, our vision. We're required to move from our home and home office very soon and have been seeking a new situation with a lot of the same good stuff but more and better, too.

We do firmly believe that when one door closes another one opens. Sometimes we squeal about it, sometimes not. As Sheryl and I have discussed numerous times, we'd like more face time with clients and potential clients. Anytime we bring it up, visions of a spiritual retreat center, with a gift shop, maybe a cafe come up. Or sometimes it's simply a spiritual bookstore with a private room for counseling and healing. Sometimes Sheryl and I envision a very similar space to what we have now: more residential in appearance, and maybe we do live in the back, or off to the side, but the front structure is definitely business: it's a storefront with proper signage and in a good location for doing business.

As many of you know we are engaged in multiple business interests. In addition to our joint healing and counseling practice, Sheryl is an artist, a non-fiction author, and sole owner /proprietor of Mama Love Products which is a line of healing body care products. She manufactures and sells the whole line herself to both wholesale and retail markets. Sheryl is also primary web-designer and marketer for much of what we do.

I am an author of fiction / creative non-fiction, and an accomplished photographer. It's not hard at all for us to imagine a single venue stocked with our art and photography (cards and prints) our books, articles and stories, body products and other gift items, a treatment room and even a small photographic portrait studio. Of course, there'd be a website too. Oh, and surprise! Sheryl sees a bed and breakfast as playing a possible part in all this.

Many parts of this are already a part of our lives—it would be easy to transfer many of these skills and abilities to a creative collaboration —but we have not yet found the physical space, the partners and financial backing, at least not yet.

Our fantasy is that someone on our list knows someone who needs our help in their metaphysical bookshop / bed & breakfast / retreat center or the equivalent. And that they’d love to have a special spiritual counseling and healing team join their staff. Since housing is also one of our primary concerns various possibilities in regards to compensation might be worked out.

If anyone fits this description on our list or thinks they may know someone who could use our help, please pass this newsletter on to those people and get in touch with us. Send a reply via email or call us (831) 325-4076.

Thank you.

WONDERFUL CAMERAS FOR SALE!

We recently upgraded our camera equipment and have 3 great digital cameras and one film camera and lens for sale. Need a great gift for someone's birthday, budding photography business or for Christmas? These cameras are great! And offered at what we think is a very reasonable price (we did the research and know what they're selling for online).


Baby Bear
The first camera is a Canon S3-IS -- an advanced 6 megapixel camera with a 12x zoom. About half the size and weight of an SLR but with excellent image quality and the image stabilization works incredibly well. It also has a macro function which is hard to find. Not quite a pocket camera, but very compact-- bought new on Paul's birthday and simply wasn't used except to shoot a few test shots and 4 or 5 short videos. Yes, it also works great as a digital video camera: shoots direct to SD card. Runs on 4 AA batteries
$200


Mama Bear
The Canon Digital Rebel, also known as the 300d, is a 6.3 megapixel SLR. Works great, Paul loves this camera and much of his portfolio was shot using it. We can include a 512mb CF card. The firmware has been upgraded and this camera can shoot at 3200iso. Includes many other "unlocked" features common to the Canon 10D. Only about 10,000 shutter activations so far-- this camera is good to go for a long time.. Silver Body only, no lens. Compatible with any Canon EOS lens. It comes with 2 genuine Canon batteries, battery charger and power cable, Canon neck strap. Paul thinks he still has the manual and some other stuff that came in the box as well.
$200


Papa Bear
Canon Digital Rebel XTi 10.1 megapixel camera. Paul says: I can't believe I'm selling this one already, feels like I just got it. Excellent image quality, ease of use and more features like bigger LCD, a self-cleaning sensor, and Canon's Picture Style technology. Slightly more compact than the 300D. Uses CF cards. Comes with a CF card, a card reader and extra battery. This camera is in excellent condition, bought new and treated well. It's the silver version, body only, no lens. Compatible with any Canon EOS lens. See this link: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000I3ZCWU/ref=noref?ie=UTF8&s=photo to learn all about this one--it's a really great camera!
$400.00

Old-Fashioned Bear
A lightly used 35mm Canon Rebel G SLR. This is a film camera.
$25

Lens
35-80mm EOS zoom lens. Works with all the Canon SLR's on this page.
