“the process of being mentally stimulated to do or feel something,
especially to do something creative”
Today’s MotD encourages us to pay attention to that which inspires to do something that makes our hearts sing. Granted the definition provided mentions “something creative”. I feel obliged to qualify that be adding: anything that inspires you to try something new and/or better is doing “something creative”. All we need do is allow ourselves to be inspired—and, follow through on that inspiration.
My journey into mandalas began about 25 years ago when I went to my friend’s metaphysical shop. I “happened” to see a series of three mandala coloring books and wondered, what’s a mandala. As soon as I opened the book and saw the designs, I was hooked. I bought the series. Weirdly enough, I became bored with coloring them…they weren’t interesting enough for me…and that’s when I started hearing my Inner Voice which said “create your own”.
I learned early on that for me anything could be an inspiration for a mandala design: flowers, anything in nature, geometric patterns, architecture, cultural symbols, animals, and so on.
How about you? What inspires you? Do you value inspiration?
btw…here’s what it looked like before:

About the 2024 Mandalas of the Day
Each day I will create and post a mandala inspired by one of 366 “value” words chosen randomly. The objective being to discover for myself which ones would best represent my core values…and by doing so, I hope it inspires you to determine your own.
