I own a few copies and have purchased and given away a few to friends and family. The book has had a significant impact on my life. It is a daily meditation, with one short, concise insight for each day of the year, followed by a summarizing, highly memorable single line which might otherwise be a quote for the day.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I sometimes regard the relevancy of a given day&#8217;s content as nothing short of Almighty Coincidence &#8211; it is uncanny how frequently what is going on in my life on a given day is more easily understood, more easily tolerated, and regarded more readily as a blessing than how I might have otherwise perceived things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">I present all the pages from the book here, but only one per day, corresponding<\/span> to the current date. Like the rest of this site, this is for my own ready reference,<span style=\"font-size: 16px;\"> but I encourage others to &#8220;keep coming back&#8221; and hopefully purchase a copy of the book for their own.
