RD helps you Make Your Mark

Posted By: JMom  //  Category: Charity, Living

You hear it all the time, the apathetic, “What can I do? I am only one person”. It’s a cop out, excuse me. I believe if someone really wants to do something significant in life, there is always a way to do it no matter how insurmountable it seems. I’m not being overly optimistic, all you have to do is look at the RD.com - Make Your Mark section of the Reader’s Digest website.

If you need inspiration, all you have to do is read about all the good things other people like you have accomplished. Everyone can make a mark, and ‘marks’ don’t have to be huge, they can be little spatters. When you look at the big picture, and see lots of little spatters you’ll soon realize that together they make one gigantic mark.

Need help getting started? Try participating in the weekly challenge instead of coming up with a project of your own. If you really want to do something and make a difference this is a good place to take that baby step.

I have been a long time subscriber of Reader’s Digest and I always find something inspiring in the magazine. If you aren’t familiar with RD, check out the Reader’s Digest Homepage and see the different sections that they cover. I’m sure you’ll find something that will interest you.

Borders Reward Card

Posted By: JMom  //  Category: Books, shopping

BordersWe were on our weekly trip to the bookstore the other day, and as usual, the girls increased my credit card balance again with their purchases. I have a Borders Rewards card, so when I was checking out, the cashier asked if I had my discount coupon with me. I of course, said no because I always forget to print them out and bring them with me; and when I do print it out, it usually stays at the bottom of my purse until it expires. Great way to waste paper. Anyway, the cashier was smart enough to have the discount coupon printed out and had it right by the register. So I got my 30% discount on one of the books!

I wish they would just have the discounts automated to reward card members. They know all members get sent these coupons anyway, why not just automatically apply the discounts? It sure would make my life easier.
