Military Jets, Updates and Things to Come

Jets -

          It has been a very busy couple months and we wanted to get up to date with our current endeavors. We currently live near Nellis, AFB in Las Vegas, Nevada and the jets fly so close overhead that if we flew a kite it might get caught in their engines. We have been taking lots and lots of pictures, F-15's, F-16's, F-22's, B-1's and a variety of C-130's. Many of which are finding their way onto our line of custom design products at zazzle in our G.I jets storefront. -  http://www.zazzle.com/gijets*/

Things to come -

          In the near future we also have plans to return to our Personal Growth and Development articles with a focus on our theory, "Self Perpetuating Evolution". This concept states that individuals can evolve in mind, body and spirit through their personal efforts to develop beyond the human condition and the limits of mankind.

A Brief Intermission

It has been a while since our last blog post. Over the past several weeks we have been focused on our stores at Zazzle, our articles on Squidoo and generally considering the overall direction for the future. We have also spent some time working on our main web site at RGebbiePhoto.com. The look and style have been redesigned and much of the content was updated.

It has been an interesting year so far, many changes, both in our personal lives and for the world. Stability and security seem to be top priorities for most people now, and we are fortunate to have reached that goal ourselves. So, with old goals achieved, we are starting to map out our future goals, and seeing what the rest of the year has in store for us! The re-vamping of the websites is one of our first projects, and we are hoping that brings more traffic to our commerce sites as well. We plan on working more on the personal growth writing, and hope to start a lecture and discussion group soon. We are also looking at opening a gallery site here in Las Vegas, the prospect gets closer and closer for us.

We invite you to view our updated websites at RGebbiePhoto, and to visit our Zazzle stores. Feel free to leave comments and let us know what you think!

I-5 Computers Revisited, Fast and Reliable!

Robert and I had finally felt the stress of working non-stop on our business and various projects, and knew we needed a break. Our relationship had always been a close one, but lately we realized we had stopped dealing with each other on a personal level. It was always about the company.

It was a Friday night, and a phone call spurred on a lively conversation, one which Robert and I continued well into the night. By 4am, we were on our fourth pot of coffee, and the conversation was still quite animated. This began our incredible vacation from work and the world. Formerly logging 22 hours a day online between the 2 of us, we only accessed email once a day, spending twenty minutes hastily browsing the subject lines, only opening the most urgent in need of reply.

We spoke, and shared, and loved, and touched. Not requiring food or sleep, we stayed up for days straight, sharing and growing together, telling the stories you don't dare repeat even to yourself. We grew a lot in those three weeks, solidifying our commitment to each other and ourselves.

It was at the end of the 2nd week that our computer went down. But we weren't ready to get back to work just yet. We were still on our vacation. Without a computer, we put pencil to paper, and outlined dozens of new projects and ideas and goals. And Robert began to draw again.
Well, now at the end of our vacation, we feel the pull to get back into the swing of things. But our computer was still down! I asked a friend for some help, but after 2 no-call, no-show appointments, Robert checked around and found an old co-worker of his is now running a computer business here in Vancouver.

i-5 Computers, located just west of i-5 on Mill Plain is run by Darren and James. Motivated more by ethics and quality than greed, they diagnose computer systems for free, offer very reasonable repair rates, and do Home and Business Networking and Data Recovery. Definitely aware of our economic times, they strive to make affordable systems and offer quality products for everyone. And if they can't fix it, there is no charge for the diagnosis, ever.

Honor, Integrity, Ethics. These are the things that separate a good company from a great one.

The Fall of Technology

Recently, we had our computer systems crash on us, and have been keeping up with things from a friend's computer. We would like to thank everyone for their continued suport and best wishes as we resolve our technical dificulties.

Lori and I have been working on several ideas for new directions and projects. We will announce and present these when we resolve our computer issues and return to a normal work schedule.

Thanks again to everyone and we hope to be back to full operations soon.

The Past Few Weeks at RGP

What an interesting few weeks it’s been! Just when you think you know what you are doing, and which direction you are headed, life gives you a fork in the road. Robert likes to weigh it all out, check facts, and measure options. Not me, I prefer to make quick decisions and drag whoever I’m with along for the ride. Hindsight has always been a crucial part of my life. When I look back on where I’ve been, I can always pin point it to the fork in the road. Sometimes those choices were hard to make, sometimes they were blind leaps of faith. Either way, once I made the decision to go toward that new goal, the path became clear.

This last bump took us a bit away from photography and more into writing. We self-published our first book, “I, Creator” and due to the great public response, we are now applying for our ISBN numbers, and are set to do a proper book launch by the end of the month. You may have noticed some of our posts being added to E-How and Associated Content, and we are being asked for more and more.

We have had a long hard year, and have learned quite a bit about our business and our relationship. Robert and I have grown stronger in both, a united front to face this world. Through the learning process, we had to do quite a bit of self-evaluation. We learned that even though you live and work 24/7 with someone, you still need to talk TO them and interact WITH them. We learned that good friends are worth their weight in gold. We learned that you CAN change the way you think, and that sometimes you just have to BELIEVE.

We’re real grateful to be able to share our journey with you, and hope that you learn a little bit. Or at least think a bit. Each day is a new adventure to be experienced with your eyes wide open.
