Not only do you get all the excellent tools, but all the training too, and super helpful community of other users.

Christmas in the Air All the Time

Filed under: Tips & Solutions — Ruth @ 11:46 am

If you are one who also loves Christmas music and revels in it at this time, you will identify with my joy in an internet radio station that plays Christmas music 24 hours a day, 7 days a week all through the month of December. This allows me to live in a Christmasy atmosphere all day long. I don’t have to wait for a certain date, or certain decorations and foods to be in place. I’m celebrating Christ’s birth and life and all His gifts as an undercurrent, or kitchen scents all the time.

I will cook a turkey meal and take it to my brother Tom’s apartment on Christmas Day, (first going to church in the morning), but that’s just a small climax to a whole month of Christmas in my heart.

If you would also like to have Christmas music and thoughts and dramas fill your mind and and the background of your place, let me recommend to you BBN. www.bbnradio.org/WCM4/Default.aspx?alias=www.bbnradio.org takes you to their English programs. They produce their excellent programs in 8 other languages as well. Go to www.bbnradio.org and pick the one you would prefer best below the world map.

How to Get a Free Aloe Vera Starter

Filed under: Tips & Solutions — Ruth @ 11:01 am

Yesterday I solved the problem of the subscribe form on the aloe vera site, but I haven’t got that fixed on all the pages yet. However, I have announced on the site, which should be good news to those who have been asking if I sell aloe vera plants, that I have set aside 20 of my baby or very young aloe vera plants as rewards to those who sign up for the monthly ezine, “Aloe Vera Tips & Solutions” which is to start publication in January.

I need subscribers there, of course. I also need to find out what kind of problems I might run into with shipping aloe vera, and thought I might try doing it in padded envelopes by mail. But there’s no point in charging if that doesn’t work well enough. So by offering them to the first 20 people who subscribe to the coming ezine, and asking people to report to me in what condition the plant arrived, I get to do a small text or experiment in shipping. If it turns out to work smoothly, then I may consider offering them for sale in the new year.

If it turns out they have to be shipped by courier, I will have to factor that in when I set prices for my baby aloe vera plants.

The first ones to subscribe, naturally, will get the best looking, most healthy of the plants I have available. I hate to egg people on falsely, but that may be something to keep in mind while you are debating whether to sign up or not. Oh, and you are not obligated to stay subscribed – though hey, I sure would like that! To find out if this is up your alley, go see,

Rushing into Christmas Preparations

Filed under: Tips & Solutions — Ruth @ 11:35 am

First of all, I want to wish all my dear American friends a very Happy and Grateful Thanksgiving for day after tomorrow. I understand that the next day triggers a stampede to shop and get ready for Christmas.

I’ve been slipping in time to make some tabletop Christmas trees for decor. It is fun of course, but I tell myself I have a very good, practical reason. We need a Christmas craft to put on the Kids Korner of the WTM site. So last week Wednesday, my trainee/helper and I made up a batch from my embossed wall papers sample book. I dressed them up a bit more over lunch hour bits of time, and now have oh – 15 that i can see if I spin around in my chair. We took photos of the steps, and I hope I can soon get the craft page with step-by-step instructions and photos of my models ready to upload. (A lot depends on how tomorrow goes).

Meantime it occurred to me this morning that I should be telling all my friends and readers about the Christmas helps I have on my newest website for you.

www.online-shopping-guides.com is all about showing you how simple and safe it can be to do your shopping online.

If you have never tried it before you might want to start with the easiest 7 steps; how to shop online

But there are a number of helpful pages for you to review on that site.

Also, if you are in charge of getting out the company Christmas cards for your business or employer, I’ve got some great tips on this unique page; Business Christmas Cards.

My Novel as a Gift Idea

Filed under: Tips & Solutions — Ruth @ 1:15 pm

Over lunch on Saturday some visitors who came to present special music were asking about my business, and I mentioned my novel. I ended up running upstairs to fetch the two copies I keep on hand for such situations. Do you know – as soon as they and another woman had the book in their hands, they wanted to buy it? Yes, and not only that, but they overpaid and told me to keep the change!

Right now is a good time to order a book, get it read yourself, and then give it as a gift to someone else. (Of course, it’s okay to do that! Lots of us do it all the time).

cover of Ruthe's Secret Roses - by Ruth Marlene Friesen
My stash of real, paperback copies of the novel is dwindling. I may have to order some more real soon. But if you are not living close to me you might be far wiser to go order it directly online from my publisher. Booklocker promises that any book you order will be on it’s way to you in 48 hours. In the USA that is by UPS, so delivery is quick from Booklocker

I have to charge people $25 to cover my shipping costs, but the price online at Booklocker is just $19.95 plus shipping, so you might get it for less if money is tight for you.

Now, if I was you, I’d want to read more about the book first of all and see if it is what I’d want. So go here, to read up on Ruthe’s Secret Roses

Oh, and I sell the e-book edition on my site for less than Booklocker.
See, I’m helping you to get the BEST deal on this. Only the reading of the book should take you some time, as it is 647 pages. :)

How to Get an Energy Punch to Pick You Up

Filed under: Tips & Solutions — Ruth @ 11:19 am

Just week before last I told you about these healthy coffees, teas, and hot chocolate that I have signed up to sell. Well, my basic order arrived, and I meant to save the packets for when I might have a chance to sell by offering a sample, or perhaps as Christmas gifts. But on Saturday my physical work around the house made me so crippled with pain that I was hobbling around, stooped like an old woman.

After a light supper snack, I sat down to read for a while in an herbal remedies book, and I saw them suggest supplements that I was sure I was already taking. Then it hit me – no, I ran out about a week ago, and I haven’t been taking them this week.

I had a bottle of the joint health capsules in a backup box, so I got it out and took two, knowing that it often takes two weeks for these to kick in and give you the full benefit.

Then I remembered the SereniGy drink packets. Ah-ha, I could allow myself a hot chocolate! I mixed it up in a tall mug, which holds about 2 cups worth. And in half an hour my pain was gone! My achy lower back and knot in my left hip – all gone.

I was able to go downstairs and clean up my laundry, and then put in a full evening for the client in Uganda on the computer. I felt great all day Sunday too. And allowed myself a nice healing nap as well.

It’s safe to say I have a new respect for this SereniGy stuff! That Ganoderma herb in there really does pack a strong energy punch! Did you have a look at it yet? www.SereniGy.com/Bouquet

You might just want that in your daily coffee or tea! There’s even drops to add to your plain water, if you’d rather do that.

People do a 180 on this Video

Filed under: Tips & Solutions — Ruth @ 10:55 am

You can also see it at the original site, http://HeartChanger.com. It’s 33 minutes long and it is fascinating to watch the interviewer, Ray Comfort, talk to people on the street, and bring some of them to a complete 180 degree turn in their thinking, starting with questions about the Holocaust, and then applying those principles to abortion and life issues.

Coffee, Tea and Hot Chocolate That’s Good for You

Filed under: Tips & Solutions — Ruth @ 1:38 pm

I’m not a coffee-drinker, but my friend Kathy gave me a packet of the hot chocolate from this company she has joined. I am partial to hot chocolate; it tasted quite good, and did give extra energy as she said. It has taken me a while to get around to researching this company, but finally, today I did.

SereniGy puts a mushroom/herb into their products that is known all over Asia for its energy-giving and healing properties. It’s most common name is Ganoderma. My third party (outside of this company) research shows that some people seem to have an allergy to this ingredient, however, the vast majority who try it rave about the benefits they enjoy from drinking this SereniGy coffee/tea/chocolate.

So I’ve ordered some samples that I can give away (hey, Christmas is only two months away as of today!), and I can refer people to my replicated website and – well, I’ll just see whether this can also be an income stream for me. www.SereniGy.com/Bouquet

I don’t want to tell you what you must do, but it looks like a good idea, and you should check it out for yourself. I think I made my final decision when I saw the

video about the orphanage in Kenya this company supports.

What do you pay if you buy fine coffee in a restaurant or Starbucks? Remember, I don’t drink coffee, so I don’t know. I think I’ve heard $5/cup – is that true? Well, it seems these work out to under $1 or $2 a packet or cup.

So if it should happen that you like the flavour, and have no reaction to the Ganoderma, it might be smart to switch, right?

If you don’t want to be a distributor, you can just sign up as preferred customer. (I’m just not sure it is available outside of North America). www.SereniGy.com/Bouquet
