Canada Day Edition
Posted by Gail | Filed under Thinking Out Loud
Happy Canada Day! No doubt y’all have wonderful plans to celebrate with family and friends, and I hope you have a terrific day.
If you haven’t been to the Globe & Mail “vote for your favorite blogger” event, you should go and see the suggestions for great places to find out more about money. While some moron has tried to hi-jack the voting, that should not detract from the fact that some very good sites have been suggested.
I don’t include a blog-roll on my site because I just can’t keep up with what goes off the air. Very often I click on a blogger’s recommended sites only to find the site is older than Methuselah or defunct, and I hate that! But I do have some fav sites, and I’ve added my two cents’ worth to the Globe. So pop over and see what other people are reading. And if you have a favorite site that hasn’t been mentioned, you should add it to the list using “comments” and spread your cheer.
I was at my publishers on Monday to go over plans for my new book, which will be coming out in January 2010. Debt Free Forever: Taking Control of Your Money & Your Life takes you through the process I’ve been using with families on Til Debt Do U$ Part so that you –– or someone you know — can go from delusional to In Control! I’ll tell you more as we get closer to the publication date.
While I was at Harper Collins, I picked up four copies of SquawkFox’s book 397 Ways to Save Money and am offering them in a random draw to four people who send me their Success Stories by Friday July 2nd at midnight. Squawkfox also happens to be one of the blogger’s in the Globe & Mail’s blogger event, so it all dove-tails quite nicely, dontcha think?
One of the biggest boo-hoos I get from folks on my website is that I only deal with couples. Well, we’re heading into production on the new show called Princess this fall. Head over to the Princess Facebook page or to Slice’s Casting Call page for more information. (Have you all joined the Til Debt Facebook Group? Since I don’t accept people I don’t know on my Facebook personal page, this is the way to go.) If you know someone who fits the Princess profile, maybe you’ll want to nominate her (or him) for the show. Since there’s “no partner required” for this show, singles can now get in on the action. But I’m warning you, the process – like Til Debt – will not be a cake-walk.
And, finally, I’m wondering how these blogs are working for y’all. Most blogger’s write shorter daily pieces and I’m wondering if my more verbose style is working for you or if you’d like shorter pieces… sometimes less is more, after all. If I’m being too long-winded let me know and I’ll shorten up a bit. You’ll notice I’ve added links for StumbleUpon, Delicious and Digg to the end of the blogs. I’d appreciate it if you’d vote for any blogs you really like since this opens the site up to more potential readers.
Have a terrific Canada Day!
