Read my final meditation today. I was consistent throughout the year. Reading a daily dose of prayers, blessings, meditations and affirmations. All stated in an easy way to help you get your day started and out the door. It has been a good year, and these meditations helped me survive the turbulence of the last 365 days. I’m grateful for Ms. Ehime Ora!

I used this book as my journal throughout the year and it was such a transformative experience; not sure if that was because daily journaling is a good practice or because of the actual words within the book. 80% of the meditations really applied to my day sometimes almost eerily specifically. Although sometimes repetitive or sometimes too vague to actually speak to anyone directly with meditations like "the universe has so much in store for you" it was still such a worthwhile read. I will say that it did bring a lot of peace into my life and I am not someone who particularly believes in ancestral worship or spirituality. I highly recommend and I am sad that Ora is not writing another one for next year.

Started it late (Feb 14) and ended it early (Dec 4) because I knew the month would be too busy to actually try to do the daily readings.

This one was recommended to me by a friend who knew I was going through some crap this year, and thought it might help me out. I’d say about 40-50% of the passages spoke to me (and maybe 5% of those REALLY meant something to me), which to me, is really good for a book of this nature! Daily passages tend to not do much for me, but this one was an exception.

I tried using this book day by day, and found it works supremely better bibliomanced (!). I would love for this book to be a deck of cards. For now, I open randomly, and more often than not, it does feel like someone who knows me is guiding me.
