For those of you who have been getting this calendar for years, you will find some changes in the color and format. The photos are still back to back but they seem to be so vivid in color. My favorite photos were winter and fall but overall, I did not think the photos were as spectacular as years past. The date and photo pages are now cream colored instead of whitish. The days of the week are black but the day numbers are darker beige so they are not as quickly visible. That is a feature I do not like. Three full months are in a column instead of two like 2013. That may be why the spacing to write in each day is smaller. The font for the month at the top of the page is different and in a beige color. It is a pleasing font to me but again harder to read. The quotes from Paramahansa Yogananda are still inspiring. Hope this helps because I do look to the reviews to help me when purchasing items.
"If it ain't broke, don't fix it." I have been buying Inner Reflections calendars every year since 2000 and I am extremely disappointed in the 2014 edition. There's lots of empty, wasted space at the top of the page which means the amount of room available to make daily notations has decreased. And if this wasn't bad enough, they placed three monthly insets between the spine and days area which even further dramatically reduced the space to make daily notes. With all the empty space at the top, they could have put the insets up there. I will think twice before I buy their 2015 calendar. I gave it 2 stars because the pictures are beautiful as always.
This calendar has graced my life for more than twenty years, with unparalleled beauty and usefulness. It serves both as reminder/tickler and personal log. I've managed this by putting the temporary reminders on sticky notes, and removing them as obviated. Then the inviting space becomes my logbook. With the profligate waste of page space in the 2014 edition, this is almost impossible. Why oh why have you done this??? And this year I actually bought 14 copies, to share my treasure with sympatico friends and family. Aaugh! Please repent of this madness and reinstate what was so elegant and lovely. (I am also a little jarred by the color intensities in recent editions; and the 2014 photographs are all bleeds, either vertically or horizontally. Somehow this disturbs me a bit too, because the former framing lent (for me) an appropriate air of formality. But that is the least of my miffs.)
I agree with the critical comments concerning poor formatting and over saturation of photos. I was also surprised to see the new formatting of photos which no longer has a framed appearance. Vertical photos go to the top of the page and landscape ones go from one side of the page to the other with many of the photos continuing through the spiraled binding. All of these factors contribute to taking away from the simple harmony of these previously balanced calendars.Yoganandaji's quotes are, of course, as inspiring as ever and the heart and soul of these calendars.
Wonderful calendar that I have purchased for the last 7 years. Would be lost without it to keep on track. Beautiful photos and inspirational writings that we always look forward to. Highly recommend!
I started getting the Inner Reflections Engagement Calendar in 2008 and have purchased one every year since. I don't even look at other engagement calendars, because this is the one for me. I love the great photography, the thought-provoking quotes from Paramahansa Yogananda, having holidays listed on the weekly pages, and having pages that cover a week, pages that cover a whole month, and pages with yearly calendars. Like many other reviewers, I noticed immediately that the calendar had changed this year, the difference being that, while I loved the old format, I like the new one even better! I love the new colors of paper, the new colors of type, the more saturated photos. While some of the points made by reviewers who gave the calendar a poor review are true, I think the calendar is even more beautiful, and I will have no problem in making small - if any - adjustments to the new format in terms of how I actually use the engagement calendar. Life is change, and every new year brings some change into life. This year's calendar is only reflecting that.
I love this calendar and I gift a number of friends with it each year at Christmas (as well as keep one for myself). It's lovely, every year, and the 'sayings' work for any adult audience, but if you have spiritual friends - this is a must buy!
I have been a dedicated purchaser of this engagement calendar for over a dozen years. This years however, was a big let down. Two things, first the paper quality was immediately apparent as the book arrived wavey and the edges were roughly cut. Secondly the printing is clearly a cheap one as the colors are Gaulish and rather awful as compared to what I am used to enjoying from this company. The care of image choice and words fall flat in the absence of excellence in print and paper quality. This will be the last year I will purchase this particular calendar.
