Don't Seek Inspiration Through a Calendar

At the start of 2009 I decided to spruce up my office space with a little day-to-day inspirational quote calendar. You know, something to greet me in the morning other than my yellowish green bamboo plant that's struggling to survive. Out of the 104 days that I've experienced with 365 Meditations and Reflections for Women Who Do Too Much, I can count the number of times on one hand where I have been moved.

For instance today's thought is:

To deal with "shopoholic" tendencies or to curb excessive shopping, author April Bensen recommends that we set a budget for shopping trips.

Well if that wasn't the dullest "A-HA!" moment ever, please enlighten me and share what is. Nothing against author April Bensen - I'm sure this idea was pulled from a book of hers perhaps focusing on budgeting and that it was taken out of context for this pocket calendar. Needless to say this tidbit actually made me feel worse considering my budget for shopping is now $0.
