Spiritual and personal growth is a process--it happens one day at a time. Each day we must carve out a few minutes of quiet time in order to remove ourselves from the pressures and anxieties of everyday life, to calm down and tune in to the deeper pulse of living--to know our souls.

Author Tian Dayton leads you on a daily journey to soul discovery, opening each month with an inspirational poem and providing soul-revealing affirmations and enlightening quotations with the days that follow. You will soon find that soul is present all the time--it is we who waver from it. Your yearning to connect with soul every day of the year has been answered.

Today I will see miracles in ordinary living. I will train my eye and my inner vision to notice the wondrous and mystical world that surrounds me. Why do I need proof of eternity and the essential creative power of the universe — canÆt I perceive it by holding, in my hand, just one flower; or by watching the sun disappear behind the horizon, or rising to the song of birds? Living itself is a miracle. When I learn to see the miraculous that is a part of the world I live in, I will find it easier to allow soul to be alive within me. Noting less than this would be in tune with this alive universe in which I live.
