 The Perpetual Calendar of Inspiration - Vera Nazaria - A Short Summary & Review

A Rite of Fancy Book Recommendation and Review

A daily dose of something to think about.

A short summary:

The Perpetual Calendar of Inspiration by Vera Nazarian is designed as a daily companion, offering brief reflections, quotations, and prompts meant to invite pause and thoughtful consideration throughout the year.

Rather than being tied to specific dates or seasons, the calendar format allows readers to engage at their own pace. Each entry presents a small but resonant idea, something to turn over in the mind, return to later, or use as a lens for the day ahead.

The book emphasizes attentiveness, patience, and intentional reflection, reminding readers that perspective often shifts not through grand revelations, but through steady, daily engagement with meaningful ideas.

My favorite quote from the book:

"Patience is not a virtue. It is an accomplishment."

-Vera Nazaria, The Perpetual Calendar of Inspiration

Questions to ponder while reading:

Do you try to solve every problem?

Do you ask why? Why not?

My review:

This is a lovely little “daily dose” book, quiet, thoughtful, and grounding.

The strength of this calendar lies in its simplicity. Each entry offers just enough to spark reflection without demanding emotional or intellectual heavy lifting. The ideas are varied but cohesive, making it easy to dip in for a moment of clarity or inspiration.

Over time, the cumulative effect becomes noticeable. Revisiting short insights day after day subtly reshapes perspective, encouraging patience and mindfulness rather than urgency or overwhelm.

This is not a book to rush or finish—it’s one to live with. Perfect for a bedside table or desk, the Perpetual Calendar of Inspiration rewards consistency and quiet attention.
