September is always a month of change for me. As a child, I adored going back to school (nerd alert). I grew up in the Midwest where we experienced four seasons a year and fall was my favorite. And my birthday is in September. To me, it’s always been the month I make real resolutions of movement and growth (versus January).
On this September eve, I thought I would share some fun changes!
- Dave and I have been working hard all summer on a big project – a 175-page project!
That’s right. We have opted to make our real world vegan meal planning a comprehensive tool that you can purchase at one time – 3 months of meal plans (that’s 12 weeks!) with 88 recipes (includes pressure cooking instructions!), 158 meal ideas and lots of tips to help make vegan eating easy for you! The meal plan goes on sale tomorrow – September 1 – and if you subscribe to my newsletter TODAY, you will receive a coupon code via email tomorrow for a total savings of 25% if you purchase in September; subscribe here.
2. I needed a place to sell our new, robust meal plan, as well as signed copies of my books and my coaching services. So I opened a store! I’m feeling like a very grown up website owner. (And I should feel grown up. did I mention I’m turning 50 Thursday?!)
3. Back to that coupon code and my newsletter…
I decided to make life less complicated. I’ve been managing two newsletters for a while now and that’s just silly! My monthly JL goes Vegan newsletter and my weekly Real World Vegan Meals newsletter are now combined into one (which explains why some of you got a free 3-day meal plan in you inbox this weekend! ?). I’ll be sharing recipes, news, tips for making vegan easy, and upcoming events in one newsletter (oh, and did I mention that if you subscribe TODAY you’ll get a total savings of 25% off The 3-month FALL/WINTER Real World Vegan Meal Plan?).
4. The radio show will go on!
During the month of August, I debuted a radio show, Easy Vegan, on KCMJ here in Colorado Springs.
Though produced and hosted locally, my guests and audience are local, regional, national and international, as the show is streamed online at KCMJ.org and on the free TuneIn app. The show has been incredibly well-received (there’s even talk of syndication – pinch me!) so, it’s official! My show is on the regular KCMJ schedule: live Mondays at 12pm MST, replayed Saturdays at 9am MST, and you can listen to, or download, show archives on SoundCloud anytime. (Be sure to listen in today at 12pm MST: author Kathy Hester joins me to talk about The Easy Vegan Cookbook; you can enter to win a copy of her latest cookbook here.)
Not a bad way to start a “new year” at the age of 50, huh?
I’m forever grateful that nearly six years ago I went vegan and changed my relationship with animals, the environment, and other human beings. I’m doubly grateful for finding a way to get creative with my volunteer time and professional life and carve a way to help others consider or go vegan. I’m triply grateful for all of you reading – many of you have been with me from the very beginning of this website and have watched it grow and evolve over the years, just as my veganism has. Thank you.
