What I really love about this collection of quotations is how widely divergent their sources are. They range from traditional authors and views to those more unconventional and offer an eclectic mix of religious and spiritual traditions and new age concepts -- kudos to the editor. An excellent, well thought-out mix which opens the reader to all kinds of spiritual possibilities, while always focusing on the empowering idea of inner consciousness and the way it affects our lives and perceptions. As you read each day's quote, you realize over several days that a theme is emerging, and often one theme leads into the next in interesting, unexpected ways. I have a number of quotation collections and this one is by far the most diverse and well-arranged. I have found that there is real depth in the themes, and for me, an uncanny sense that each quote concerns some aspect of my spiritual growth on the day I read it. Another great aspect of this calendar is that each quote is footnoted so you can go to the source and read the text from which the quote was taken -- an invaluable resource, and one that very few quotation books or calendars employ. I also prefer the calendar form to that of a book because the calendar stays open. All you have to do is flip the page, not pull out a book and open it. In a perpetual calendar, no days of the week are associated with the dates, so when the year is over you start again. I highly recommend this inspiring calendar of quotations -- you won't be disappointed.

The quotes are from multitudinous, eclectic sources. It is nice to see so many teachers in agreement that we create our own reality.
