    Is It Worth It?: Ladies, if you wear heels every day then it's time to change up your sexy chick routine with a pair of comfy flats. The Body Central Knot Front ballet flats drop to just $7 when you use coupon code "SPRINGFREE", so you might want to pick up a pair in each of the 11 colors available. These Editors' Choice ballet flats have "good girl" written all over them, from their easygoing slip-on style to the dainty knot detail at the toe. They're available in sizes 6 to 11, but not in all size/color combinations.

    Body Central is determined to prove that "good girl" flats don't have to be boring, offering these comfy slip-ons in a wide variety of patterns and styles. Better yet, the coupon code above cuts 25% off each pair, bringing some styles as low as $7. Better yet, the same coupon bags free shipping on your order, making this the best deal we've seen on flats from Body Central. Note that sizes are super limited for some styles.

What is the Monitor difference? Tackling the tough headlines – with humanity. Listening to sources – with respect. Seeing the story that others are missing by reporting what so often gets overlooked: the values that connect us. That’s Monitor reporting – news that changes how you see the world.

Dear Reader,

About a year ago, I happened upon this statement about the Monitor in the Harvard Business Review – under the charming heading of “do things that don’t interest you”:

“Many things that end up” being meaningful, writes social scientist Joseph Grenny, “have come from conference workshops, articles, or online videos that began as a chore and ended with an insight. My work in Kenya, for example, was heavily influenced by a Christian Science Monitor article I had forced myself to read 10 years earlier. Sometimes, we call things ‘boring’ simply because they lie outside the box we are currently in.”

If you were to come up with a punchline to a joke about the Monitor, that would probably be it. We’re seen as being global, fair, insightful, and perhaps a bit too earnest. We’re the bran muffin of journalism.

But you know what? We change lives. And I’m going to argue that we change lives precisely because we force open that too-small box that most human beings think they live in.

The Monitor is a peculiar little publication that’s hard for the world to figure out. We’re run by a church, but we’re not only for church members and we’re not about converting people. We’re known as being fair even as the world becomes as polarized as at any time since the newspaper’s founding in 1908.

We have a mission beyond circulation, we want to bridge divides. We’re about kicking down the door of thought everywhere and saying, “You are bigger and more capable than you realize. And we can prove it.”

If you’re looking for bran muffin journalism, you can subscribe to the Monitor for $15. You’ll get the Monitor Weekly magazine, the Monitor Daily email, and unlimited access to CSMonitor.com.
