Giving away some Amazon gift cards.

[donnafreedman]

Actually, a site called Dollar Dig is sponsoring the giveaway on my site, through Sept. 12. One $50 card and four $25 cards will be given away.

Holidays are coming fast. Think of this as a head start.

Donna!
How are you?

Is there an update on what you're up to on your site?

Hope all is well.

Hello! Still writing on my personal website (witness the above link). In the past year I've also:

Created an online writing course
Begun to offer writing coaching
Published a book (about two weeks ago!) called "Your Playbook For Tough Times: Living Large On Small Change, For The Short Term Or The Long Haul."

Clark Howard, Liz Weston, J.D. Roth and other personal finance people have given the book rave reviews. At some point I think I will do a giveaway over here.

Right now, though, I'm going to bed. Tomorrow night I leave for the Financial Blogger Conference in San Diego, by way of Phoenix -- will be driving to SD with my daughter, whom some of you may know as the brains behind IPickUpPennies.net.

Note: If anybody within the sound of my voice lives in the San Diego area, we're planning a couple of meetups. One is Wednesday evening, at the conference itself -- free drinks and snacks and a chance to say "hi" to other personal finance writers as well as to me and my daughter. (Article up about that on my website.) The other one will be breakfast somewhere on Sunday, before Abby and I leave to drive back to Phoenix. If interested, check my website next week because right now I don't know where we'll be eating.
