My daughter, Jeremia, and her partner, John, have long dreamed of opening an “eco-smart, family-friendly” watering hole. As the first big step towards making this dream a reality, they’re re-opening (and re-naming) a restaurant-bar in Camp Verde that used to be called the “Salt Mine Cellars”. I just finished putting up a website for them and they also have a page up on Facebook. They took the place for a test drive a few weekends ago (to rave reviews) and are gearing up to reopen again over the July 4th weekend. Come check it out…

Now here’s something I’m pretty excited about: I just finished putting up my first two IANDS group websites. These websites have been designed to give local IANDS groups a place where they can post information about their local meetings and special events — and introduce new people to the fascinating, possibly life-changing world of near-death experiences. Each website has the same basic functionality and content. For a small set-up fee, I create a personalized version of this website for a local group, then host it at reduced cost, making it super affordable for them while, at the same time, giving them a professional face to the world. Once their website is up and they have learned how to add basic posts, it’s theirs. They can change the preselected content I have built into it, change the color scheme, even drop on a completely different WordPress template on, if they want to. The first two sites to go live are Sedona IANDS and LA IANDS. San Diego IANDS is next.

If you’ve been following my work closely, you probably noticed that I am getting increasingly involved in all facets of the near-death experience movement. First I created the NHNE Near-Death Resource Center & Social Network (which currently has 63 members). After that, I created a network on Facebook and Twitter, which I use primarily as news feeds. Next came a network to support IANDS Group Leaders, who are the people on the front lines, hosting groups in their local communities. While only IANDS-affiliated group leaders are able to join this network, the home page is public and offers some great resources to the general public, including a side bar that lists IANDS Groups around the U.S..

Set up a blog for Sher Stultz and her daughter, Astra, to serve as home base for their traveling adventure. Also consulted on setting up a Facebook Fan Page and picking the right video camera for the job. Sher decided on a Kodac Zi8 Pocket Video Camera which captures up to 1080p HD, uses SD cards, has an external microphone jack and shoots 5-megapixel still images. The cost, if you can believe it, $157.00!

Just finished adding a few new photos to my photo website. Come take a look.

Turns out that Susannah Martin’s mother, Rebecca, had a near-death experience when she was 39 years old. While visiting her daughter in early June, Rebecca agreed to sit down with me for a few minutes so I could make a quick video of her describing her experience. Now 72, Rebecca Martin, PhD, is an author, educator, counselor, and certified hypnotherapist. She has spent 30 years teaching and facilitating seminars, workshops, retreats, and international “Sacred Sites” pilgrimages for academic, business, and medical professionals, as well as the general public. Dr. Martin has numerous audio programs for healing and growth, and is an instructor and practitioner of T’ai Chi. She authored and developed the psycho-physiological training and certification program known as REGENESIS. Dr. Martin’s philosophy is based on the principles of mindfulness, compassion, and self-mastery. Her website is located here: http://atmaram.org/ For more information about near-death experiences (and related topics), visit NHNE’s Near-Death Experience Network: http://nhneneardeath.ning.com/

A new and improved website to showcase my photography — mostly weddings and portraits — is now alive and kicking. The website sports several great features: a list of the most popular wedding locations in Sedona, a page with some of the excessively flattering comments I have received from my wedding and portrait clients, a page full of local wedding planners, officiates, and local venues, a couple pages describing who we are and what we do, and, finally, tons of great photos from all over Sedona.

I’ve been getting a little Facebook & Twitter crazy lately. Along with my personal page on Facebook, I also have separate pages created for NHNE, Integral Rising, Jesus Rising, and NHNE-NDE. And along with my primary feed on Twitter, I also have feeds for Integral Rising, Jesus Rising, and NHNE-NDE. Will probably also add a couple Facebook/Twitter pages for dreams and relationships down the road. Come take a look…
