English: This picture shows lawnmower wheel which broke because it was deliberately made of plastic instead of steel. Since when do they make lawnmower wheels out of plastic? This wheel is an example of bad workmanship done to make a profit. (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

Love Those E-mail Newsletters!

I have to admit I’m a sucker for an e-mail newsletter. Promise me a few coupons or recipes and I’m asking “Where do I sign up?” Well it’s not quite that bad, I do have standards. Don’t get spammy on me cause I can unsubscribe as quick as I subscribed. Won’t let me unsubscribe? Then future e-mails go in my spam folder. From time to time I also go through and cull out the ones I never seem to get around to reading. Some people have another e-mail account just for advertising, newsletters and the like.

These are two of my favorite daily inspirational e-mails to which I am currently subscribed.

Daily Meditation from the Henri Nouwen Society.  Go to the website and click on the resources tab to sign up.

Guideposts Magazine has a selection of positive newsletters available.  Go to the website to sign up.
