Lenses and Articles From Me To You
This is a small peek into me and what I'm about. I hope you enjoy the show!
One Of My Favorite Topics...
Organic Gardening

This link will lead you to a lens called "All You Need To Know About Organic Gardening."
Now, I've done enough gardening to know that I don't really know "all" there is to know about the subject! I did, however, find a product that I got really excited about that CAN tell you all you need to know about starting and maintaining a beautiful, bountiful organic garden. I am so excited about this that not only do I want to tell everyone else about it, but as soon as I get my own place, I WILL be ordering this product for myself.
Anyway, my lens will tell you about some of the things that are in this product, "freebies," etc. I can't wait to get into my own place so I can start an organic garden for myself. I'll be sure to add to my lens and let you all know how it goes. Hopefully I'll be in my own place around October so keep checking back!
Be An Organic Gardener
Much More Gardening Ideas
And Lots Of Pictures
My next lens also promotes my favorite gardening product but I put much more of the information about ways you can use your garden and its produce.
I wrote about how you can make your garden into a really great family fun time and put in a link to the article that I will be writing about in the next module. I also told about mixing flowers with veggies to make the garden prettier, but also be able to EAT the flowers! I also told where to find a terrific article about "Edible Flowers."
There is also more information and some pretty cool ideas about container gardening for those who don't have a lot of room but still love gardens.
I also included more pictures and a slide show so folks can get a better idea of the things I'm writing about. Also included are 4 products that I found on Amazon.com that I thought were well priced and a little unique.
Gardening Isn't Just For Green Thumbs
Gardening Can Be So Much Fun...
If You Use Your Imagination (or mine!)
I really put a lot of thought into this one. I wanted to find a way for families to all enjoy gardening together because, most of us, don't find enough time to be together and I really miss that.
This lens is geared a little more towards families with school age kids, but I'm sure, with some more imagination, it could be adapted to kids a little older.
I wrote about three different "adventures" and ways to center them around a garden. My grand kids think the ideas are "really cool," and my grown kids think they're pretty good too! I gave "adventure starters" so people would have someplace to start.
I really had fun with this one and I hope everyone else does too.
Adventure Gardening
Grow! Grow! Grow!
Yes, I love gardening!

This link will take you to "Grow Healthy Vegetables and Fresh Flowers," another article with no photos of its' own so I borrowed one from my organic gardening lens.
This article talks about growing veggies, etc. Where you can grow them and how to use what you grow. I included a partial list of edible flowers from a really great article I found while doing research. I tell who wrote the article and the title so you can find it if you're interested. I think you should check it out, you might be surprised at what you can eat!
I also include a link to my favorite organic gardening product and tell you why I think it's so great.
As you can tell, I am really enthusiastic about the subject of organic gardening!

Article Marketing
And The People Who Are Helping Me

First, I'd like to say "Thank You" to all those who read my lenses and articles. Without you, they would just be so many words floating around the internet. Please leave a comment--I'd really love to hear from you.
This next link leads to a lens that is very special to me. I joined an affiliate marketing group and, there I met two gentlemen who took me under their wings. I was having problems and they gave me answers that were so easy to understand! I took their advice because they have both been very successful in this business. When they created their own course on article marketing, I was more than anxious to become one of their affiliates AND one of their CUSTOMERS!
My lens tells more about these two gentlemen, my experience with them and their product. If you're thinking about becoming an affiliate marketer, I really hope that you'll read this lens and check out my friends' product. I don't think I've ever had more fun in any job I've done (and I've done A LOT!) and I don't think I've learned so much doing another job either.
Learn AM Easy
Others cell phones mean cash for you.
Billions of people use their cell phones 10, 20 or even 30 times every day! How would you like to learn how to earn money from all those people using their cell phones ? Well, Mack Michaels, founder of Maverick Money Makers, has created a brand new product that teaches you how to do just that. I believe that this is going to be one of the hottest products on the market very, very quickly, and anyone who doesn't jump on this right away is going to be left dragging their tails in the sand!

Losin' weight aint easy,
but here are some tips to help boost your success
Losing weight is probably one of the hardest things people do. They struggle with diet, they groan when they have to do their workout, they sigh when they see their friend eating that luscious piece of pie! Well, it may not be "easy as pie" but these 15 tips can sure help to make it less stressful and much more fun. Some are a little crazy, maybe even a little silly, but they all WORK (I've used them all so I can vouch for them.) This lens will also lead you to a product called "The Truth About Abs" by Mike Geary who is not only a professional personal trainer, but a certified nutritionist as well. He really does tell you the truth like why sit-ups are NOT good for flattening your tummy, why energy bars are pretty much all garbage, why so called diet drinks only make you fatter, and so much more. Then he tells you exactly what really WILL work to help you lose inches (which is actually more important than pounds) and get fit and healthy and STAY that way without killing yourself at the gym! Don't forget to sign up for his free emails too, he sends all kinds of tips, information, even recipes like "The Worlds' Healthiest Cheese steak." His emails are all very interesting, not dry and boring like a lot of others. So have fun, get fit and check out my 15 Tips. No Starvation Necessary
But determination helps!

This will be a link to an article called "Starve a Cold-Not Yourself! Lose Weight the Easy Way!" There are no photos with it so I borrowed one from my lens about low carb diets. No, that lovely lady is not me but I'm working on having success like that!
In this article I wrote about things that could help people have more success with any diet they're on such as, drinking lots of water, making use of a "buddy" system or an online weight loss forum, and making exercise FUN so you keep wanting to do it.
I tell of a couple of "pit-falls" to watch out for and also some of the things that are working for me. I also included a link to a product that is so much more than just a diet program and I tell a little about that too.
Here's wishing anyone who deals with a weight problem the kind of success that the young lady in the photo has had!

Some Little Known Things
About Low Carb Diets

I wrote the lens "The '411' On Low Carb Diets" because I have had weight problems nearly all my life. I started researching different diets, diet products, exercises, etc. and learned quite a few things that even doctors had never told me. I put a bunch of them in my lens along with some ideas for unusual exercises and such, and a link to another product that I think is worth every penny you would pay for it.
I know how frustrated I've been with my weight woes and I would like to save others from that if I can. I really hope this helps someone.

- There never seems to be enough time to get all the gardening done that I want too. I need a longer season with less mosquitoes. LOL

- Thanks for visiting my lens, and I agree--longer season please! The apartment I'm in right now doesn't allow anything on our patio except patio furniture (so very dull!) but I'm trying real hard to get my own house and then I'll finally be able to get back to gardening!
