Your Daily Rock: A Daybook of Touchstones for Busy Lives

Author Patti Digh wants to help you to experience life in the best, highest, deepest way possible, and offers ideas for each day of the year that will help you live more mindfully, joyfully, and fully. Each day begins with a ‘rock’ – a simple saying or thought for your attention that day. The book recommends reading it upon waking, then revisiting it at bedtime. Each thought is followed by an appropriate quotation and some words of expansion, explanation, and encouragement for how to implement this idea and why it might be important. The whole process doesn’t take more than a few minutes, but can certainly change your mental and emotional engagement in your life as you try to practice the idea. The ideas are not new, but this is a unique presentation; by breaking great themes such as Service or Health or Peace into very small steps such as ‘Give Comfort’, ‘Drink More Water’, or ‘Quiet Your Mind’ (among many others), each small idea being the focus of the day, great changes can come into your life. These little ideas will lead to increased connection, to yourself and to others. It is a thoughtful, quiet book for reflection and growth.
