I might be just a little biased, but I find this site very soothing. It’s my literal home on the web—built humbly in 2009 with more enthusiasm than expertise and the shoddy wiring (read: early missteps) to prove it.
But it’s not just the grounding tree on top, the calming Buddha logo, or the bright illustrations that fill me with peace. It’s this community. The honest stories. The aha moments. The shared humanity that brings with it a sense that it’s okay—and maybe even beautiful—to be imperfect.
If you too find comfort in this little oasis and appreciate the daily insights and inspiration, I have a feeling you’ll enjoy this year’s day-to-day calendar—my sixth since the first launched in 2022.
Each day’s quote offers guidance, support, or encouragement from me, a site contributor, or an author whose work I’ve found helpful.
With colorful patterned pages, it’s a joyful little addition to your counter or desk, designed to offer a grounding thought to start or guide your day.
More importantly, the quotes speak to the universal struggles we all face—related to happiness, relationships, change, meaning, letting go, and more. So you might find, as many social media followers often note, that the messages feel written just for you.
Or, as one Amazon reviewer wrote, “The messages set the tone for the day. Make it a great one!”
If this sort of thing resonates with you, the Tiny Buddha calendar has been the #1 bestseller in the mind-body-spirit category in both 2024 and 2025—and this year, it seems to be just as popular.
If you’d like to infuse your life with more Tiny Buddha warmth and wisdom, you can grab your copy here.
I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed creating it!

Though I run this site, it is not mine. It's ours. It's not about me. It's about us. Your stories and your wisdom are just as meaningful as mine.
