: About Me

Most of my adult work life has revolved around sales and marketing at trade shows, home and garden shows, and fairs. I loved traveling every week, seeing new places, and meeting new people.

The relationship between buyer and seller has always fascinated me, so I have read much about the psychology of selling, and also the way we communicate with ourselves, and read much on Neuro-Linguistic Programming.

I no longer do shows for a living. Instead, I am turning to Internet Marketing as an educational tool focusing on cutting through marketing hype, simplifying our needs, and taking personal responsibility for our health, happiness and well-being.

Have we entered a full blown era of information overload? Are there more companies offering products of mediocre value, with no customer support? Or worse - are we sometimes sold a bill of goods that is actually detrimental to our health and wellbeing?

It is time we set limits on what is acceptable as consumers, and what is ethical business practice.

Many times I will discuss both sides of a controversial issue, in the hopes of inspiring readers to further investigation, not just accepting whatever promoters are spoon feeding us. (And that includes many health and medical issues.)

My passions are communication, personal empowerment, protecting our health and our brain function, and separating fact from fiction in identity theft.

Home & Garden > Houseplants Product reviews: AeroGrow's AeroGarden

1 of 6

My Mom, a spry 84 year old, kept mentioning the AeroGarden she saw on TV. I thought it sounded like a gimmick product, and didn't pay much attention. So she simply ordered one. If it hadn't been for her, I would have entirely missed out on one of the most innovative concepts I've seen in a long time. WHAT EXACTLY IS AN AEROGARDEN? It is a 7 container indoor garden that is basically foolproof for growing plants, whether it is flowers, veggies, or herbs. It is a unique, automated system that gives you the best of all worlds. It is soil less, based on hydroponics, but the grow containers are ...
