Wow- July is upon us! I am always amazed how fast time goes (as you can tell because I mention it every time I write one of these things). I wonder - is time really going anywhere? Ah well, that's another tangent!!!

Anyway- so much is happening I can't wait to share it all with you.

You may have heard that Bleepstore.com was in the midst of redecorating – well, it was more like major reconstruction. When we started Bleepstore.com way back in 2005 we did so because we thought it would be nice if people could buy the BLEEP DVD direct from us. Since then it's turned into a full-fledged store. At the same time we had an outrageous response to The Bleeping Herald. So we decided to combine the two experiences and created a place where people could shop, explore, share, and learn. Now the new Bleep Store, with inspiring, enlightening, intriguing (ok how many adjectives can I fit in here?) books, music, videos and more is on line! Plus it has the kind of great informational content you've come to expect from the Herald. (Don't worry, you'll still get your Herald every month too.)

For this new creation we've partnered with WIE (What Is Enlightentment magazine) for additional content, as well as turned to our long-term associate, the Institute of Noetic Sciences (IONS), whose science lead is Dr. Dean Radin. "We are delighted that What the BLEEP is turning interest in their movies into long-term transformation with an enhanced suite of products designed to help people take the next step on their journey," says Ions Marketing Director, Stephen Dinan. "We're proud to offer our own work in this expanded way."

There will also be articles from The Bleeping Herald, as well as our editor Cate's awesome The Global Intelligencer. These articles explore everything from Science and Spirituality, to Green Living and sustainability, Social Evolution, Healthy Living and Parenting, to movie and book reviews. There are also great videos and get this: soon we'll be asking you to submit your own!!! Yes, soon there will be a special place for you to submit videos for inclusion on the Bleepstore site.

If there's anything we've learned during this journey, it's that change is all about community – and if you haven't already, please check out our new online community partner, ZAADZ.com. Zaadz, is the leading social networking site for spiritually, socially, and environmentally conscious people. It's an online community of individuals whose "favorite books" list could be pulled from The Bleep Store catalog — from Pema Chrodron and Joseph Chilton Pearce, to Eckhart Tolle and Dan Millman. "The synergy between the two companies is obvious," says David Pearson, Zaadz COO/VP of Business Development. "We're sure our community will be as happy to discover new resources through Bleepstore as your many fans will be to connect to others who share a passion for the same authors and topics."

Our new site is live today! Now you can post comments, talk to other like-minded people, and share ideas -- all right there right from Bleepstore.com. It's a community within a community! As you can see from all the exclamation points, I'm very excited about all of this!
