K. Rowling July/Adventure: "Life itself is the proper binge." --Julia Child August/Freedom: "Freedom is from within." --Frank Lloyd Wright September/Purpose: "The right word may be effective, but no word was ever as effective as a rightly timed pause." --Mark Twain October/Fulfillment: "Ah! There's nothing like staying home for real comfort." --Jane Austen November/Wisdom: "Sleep is the best meditation." --The Dalai Lama December/Faith: "Peace is always beautiful." --Walt Whitman
