Want to hear from us only once a week? Click here to get the Sunday only send.
Happy Sunday, dearest members! The team and I (Jarred) hope this morning finds you all well and perked up for yet another wonderful day. We're in a great mood, and I suspect it’s got a lot to do with the Tillies. To see them play their hearts out on home soil is such a surreal experience. We are incredibly proud of them! But Matilda fever aside, let’s move along to our Sunday quote, shared by member @Bullwinkle:
‘Life is like a coin. You can spend it any way you wish, but only you can spend it once.’
How beautiful. In essence, this metaphor encourages us to approach life with intention, awareness, and a sense of responsibility. It reminds us that our time is finite, and we have the power to shape our experiences and leave a meaningful impact on ourselves and others.
On the topic of fulfilling things—this week, our SDC Rewards members got involved in our third ever weekly competition, played a new game AND got a brand new, fancy forum badge. Want to catch up? Here’s the week that was: SDC Rewards edition. 😉

Today’s blast from the past is a snap of a Woolies in Canberra in 1966. Look at the people, the storefront, the cars… It really is so different from today. On that note, how much do you think the Aussie shopping experience changed since this photo was taken? Would you say things are better now, or was the setup in the past—one with no frills and thingamajigs—much easier? Tell us your thoughts here! If you have images or musings of your own about days long past, feel free to post on our Yesterday’s Australia forum!
