Zen Dope is Beautiful!?

This morning I received an e-mail from a Zen Dope follower by the name of Terry. Terry took the time to write a very kind note to say that the Zen Dope Website is "BEAUTIFUL" (in all caps) Earlier this month I received an e-mail from a long time follower "Anthony" who also said that Zen Dope grows more beautiful with age. As I am preparing to close the office studio for ten days to go on vacation to visit my mother, it was a very nice thing to hear. Of course I thanked them both and although I am not discounting all the others who have given Robin Banks and myself such delightful compliments, this last e-mail seemed timely.

ZEN DOPE is a lot of work! It has been a lot of work over the years as it still is today. Now, as I leave the studio for my vacation I realize that I am ready for a break, as I always am when I close the studio, and I get yet another e-mail telling me how much our work is appreciated and how beautiful the site is. I am going on vacation next week feeling quite satisfied and pleased. Robin and myself, Swan, send a huge thank you to all our followers and customers! And to those few who have asked over the years, "Is Robin Banks my daughter?, I proudly answer, "Yes, she is." She is very busy at her job and with her own little girl but has been there to work or support Zen Dope since 2002.

A quick update for everyone on how things are going behind the scenes at the front desk, we are having a great year.

THE DISTURBING POWER OF PINK essay, in the unusual papers section of the Bookstore is the top favorite so far. Our essays are not your usual sort of research papers, they are written on gorgeous topic themed stationary loaded with colorful pictures. They run 20 to 28 pages long and are ALL true "out-of-the-box" researched stories.  Freestyle non-fiction is a breath of fresh air and it is great to be different and free! "ABSINTHE - THE TRUTH" comes in at a close second with "THE BIZZARE SECRETS OF THE VENETIAN MASK" competing for second place.

As you might have guessed, with the very public request by Congress to the Pentagon to open files and reveal information regarding UFO's and UAP's, our Documentaries are seeing a resurgence of interest! So, we updated the purchase pages and made three times certain that OUR customers could download these Documentaries and share them with others for free after watching them stream on Gumroad. People are still nervous about Aliens and UFO's but now the word is out. Who knew?!  ;-)

A big shout-out to Will Duit, Shirly Knott, and of course, the girl with the golden voice, Gayle Force! We can't thank our volunteers and small staff enough for all their grueling hours put into these documentaries. Now, we can say," see?" "Your day has come".  Each documentary took over nine months to produce, Was it worth it? Oh sure! NOW IT IS! Hahahaha!

From our UNUSUAL BOOKSTORE, the favored e-books are first "MIND VIRUS- MEMEPLEXED" and coming up now is out latest release "HACK MY AGE". Yes, there will be another released in 2021, so heads up!

So, as I close up shop, put away the files, close down the art programs and shut off all the equipment that is my life every day, I say thank you for making us feel "Beautiful" and we will be back in a couple weeks. BUT, while I am gone, why not check out my personal favorite of 2021 . . . rotfl!

                See you in August!
