The following is a list of titles that we know have influenced us in some way, and/or have been directly quoted from on this site. Direct quotes and references will be footnoted and numbered within the individual articles. Clicking on a colored footnote will bring you to this page where you can scroll down to find the footnote number and reference. 

 Over the years it becomes difficult to be sure of just where a certain idea originated; be it through reading, conversation, or personal contemplation. Much of the material on this site is based on years of personal observation and the correlation of information across a wide range of fields of study. Hopefully you too will be able to explore some of these titles and find your own blessings within.
