Happy birthday to me! Discounts for you + donations to Feeding America!

Just like everyone else ever I try to be a good person.
I'll courtesy wave if you let me merge.
I tip well.
I compost.
I give my cat pep talks when he feels self conscious about his droopy, non-six pack.

But (just like everyone else ever) I fall off the Good Human Wagon from time to time.
Sometimes, when you're telling your funny story I'm just waiting for you to finish so I can tell you mine. (Which I'm probably convinced is funnier.)
I ignore the fact that you 'poked' me on Facebook.
If I sleep over at your house, I'm toooootally going to use your shampoo and body wash. YES, EVEN IF IT'S THE FANCY STUFF.

So, this year, in an effort to rebalance my karma I'm trying something new.
For each new person who signs up for my newsletters, I'll donate $1 to Feeding America, a charity that helps stock the shelves of struggling families.

You can sign up for the Yes and Yes newsletter here and my small business newsletter here. And you even get free ebooks when you sign up for them!

People say incredibly sweet things about the newsletters. Just last week a sweet reader named Amanda emailed me:

I was looking through my inbox this morning and had about 20 email newsletters from various blogs/brands. I deleted them all immediately except yours. I always read yours and I'm always happy that I did!

Also! From right now (6 am CST 8.28 - 6 am CST 8.29 tomorrow) I'm offering 20% discounts on ev.ery.thing I sell here on Yes and Yes. Ebooks. Ecources. Ad space. I've already adjusted the prices so you don't even need a discount code! Just click the 'Buy Now' button and you'll get the reduced price!

Whew! And if you know someone who might like my newsletter, someone who want to support Feeding America, or someone who's been meaning to buy one of these ebooks - feel free to forward this post to them!

P.S. I'll have to top off my donation at $500 because I've got to, like, eat and pay rent and such.
