The Contents

It has a short section called, Taking Care of Myself, where I share something that I've learned about taking responsibility for my own health and care. Usually it will be about what I have learned to do with natural remedies.

There is another section called A Practical Tip/Solution. It will offer another easy to apply tip regarding the use of aloe vera, or other handy herbs for common ailments.

In the third spot, I Recommend - I'll give you a link to some product or web page that has more help for you.

Since a number of visitors to this site have been asking about getting small aloe vera plants to grow at home, I've checked through my offsets recently and found I have 20 to spare, (and not enough containers or room in my house to keep them). I want to discover how much it will cost and what are the best ways of shipping these plants. So as part of this preparation period, I'm going to mail one of these small offset aloe vera plants to the next 20 people who subscribe to this ezine. I'll remove this offer when that number has been reached.

To that end, I will email those who subscribe in time to ask for your mailing address, and to confirm that you would accept this gift, and then I'll see if I can get one safe and alive to you. In return I'll ask that you notify me of the condition it arrives in so that I will know how well my shipping efforts go. If this turns out well, I may be offering aloe vera plants for sale in the future from this site.

January 16, 2012 Update:
This experiment is not going well. First a very low response from subscribers to whom I've written with this offer. Secondly of the first mailing of four young aloe vera plants, the first one arrived safely in Ireland, another arrived okay in the lower USA, but another was frozen. The fourth person in Pakistan says it has not arrived there yet in two weeks. I really wonder if it will and whether it will not also be dead.

One recipient pointed out that winter is not a good time to make this experiment - and I agree. So, although I may be persuaded to try again in the spring or summer time, I think I will add some restrictions if I do. Now now there is not a lot of enthusiasm for this plan. There is no point in wasting postage money on something this is not a very good or timely idea.

If you are really keen on having your first aloe vera plant and you are willing to pay the postage as part of your risk-taking, then I'll cooperate and send you one, but I would like to know what the aloe vera plant is like when you receive it.

February 13, 2012 Update:
The results of my initial mailing were reported in my newsletter/ezine, Aloe Vera Tips & Solutions last week. Now I've put up the photos that one of the participants sent when his plant arrived in Pakistan. You can see them here, Aloe vera plants by mail
