Our website design and hosting business is still thriving, thanks to our many loyal clients. We have added a few new directories to our sites as additional ways to help them advertise. We have done some restaurant and other reviews locally, and will also be starting to do more in a few months, so if you are interested in a review of your business or product......let us know! April, 2007:

Cindy will be attending the American Quilt Society's 23rd Annual Quilt Show & Contest in Paducah, Kentucky in April, so watch for a report on that!

November, 2006 through March, 2007:

On November 4, 2006, Mike created and promoted the World Massage Festival and the Massage Therapy Hall of Fame. The event for 2007 will be held October 20-21, 2007 at the Hadji Shriner's Temple in Pensacola.

The Pensacola Massage Center is still going strong....we did over 3000 massages in 2006!

October, 2005 through October, 2006:

During this time, Mike was asked to serve on the Advisory Board at the Pensacola School of Massage Therapy and Health Careers and also began a one year stint as the Editor for the Florida Journal, the newsletter publication by the Florida Chapter of the American Massage Therapy Association.

In October, 2005, we finally realized that we had outgrown our 3 therapy rooms....so we leased a unit in the same shopping center that more than doubled our space! The Pensacola Massage Center now has 7 themed therapy rooms, a steam sauna, an infra-red sauna and many new modalities available to clients. We now offer not only Swedish/relaxation massage and deep tissue massage, but Lomi Lomi, Ashiatsu Oriental Bar Therapy, Thai-Yoga Massage, body treatments and much more! Check out our website and take a look at our relaxing, escape-into-another world Center!

August, 2004 through August, 2005:

We opened the Pensacola Massage Therapy Center in a 1200 square foot building in a shopping center here in Pensacola.

The Center had 3 therapy rooms and about 10 therapists met their clients here for therapy. We opened just 2 weeks before Hurricane Ivan hit the Gulf Coast! We had no damage to our building after the hurricane, but were without power for 2 weeks. The Army Corps of Engineers moved in rapidly after the hurricane to put up the "blue roof" coverings to tide folks over until they could make arrangements with contractors to repair and replace roofs. The aftermath of the hurricane brought about 20,000 additional workers to the area.....many of whom needed massage therapy after working so hard all day.

During this time, Mike was featured on several radio programs discussing the benefits of massage therapy and we handed out hundreds of "free massage" cards to folks in the area, offering them a free one-hour full-body massage. Our therapists are so good, that once they get someone on their table....they get them back!

The Pensacola area was hard hit by Hurricane Ivan, with the loss of thousands of housing units and a HUGE amount of yard work to be done by residents. We stayed open evenings and on weekends so that we could be there to help these folks with their sore muscles, and thus were able to build a loyal clientele. January through July, 2004:

We arrived in Pensacola, Florida on January 23, and on February 4, Mike started school at the Pensacola School of Massage Therapy and Health Careers. While he attended school, Cindy kept up with the website work. Mike graduated in July and began his massage practice then.

January, 2002 through December, 2004:

We spent these two years in south Texas, trying out "retirement" and dealing with some family issues. Cindy lost her brother, Barry Earl, to pancreatic cancer and her Mom's advanced Alzheimers came into play during this time. But, in the end, we decided that retirement in Texas was not for us.....so we headed out to Florida!
