I got a bunch of free and discounted books Monday (Cyber Monday). Oh, the rapture of that!<\/p>\n

About 900 people took advantage of my free kindle downloads, too. Cool. So, so cool.<\/p>\n

I’ve wondered if people will pay-it-forward, and give because they were given to. Will any of them write a review as a way to say “thank you”? I didn’t give things for free to get something…so I not going to sweat it. But, that sure would be nice.<\/p>\n

Much more importantly, I’ve been thinking….Will I<\/span> be more generous because I was given to?
\nYes, I’ll try to be. I’ll purpose to do that. Plus….<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Today, is Giving Tuesday<\/span>. Yes, it’s a real thing.<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Non profits, schools, and charities\u2013many hundreds of them\u2013are banding together to say “please remember us” on this Tuesday 11\/27\/12. The truth is that a lot of these organizations are all but forgotten as we make our purchases, usually with retailers. The economy has crippled some of them. Places that do much good in our world and not for the purpose of making money shouldn’t be overlooked, right?<\/p>\n

Please, consider a donation of any size today to one of the many worthy places hoping you’ll remember them.<\/p>\n
