Giving Back

“to provide help to others in appreciation of one’s own success or good fortune”

Part of our being here on Earth is to help others in whatever way we’re able to do so. Some are able to do it financially, others through their actions and deeds, up front or incognito. As we learn and grow on our life’s journey, we can share the knowledge we’ve gained to help others.

On a lighter note. I tend to be skilled at helping people to navigate in places that may even be new to me: in stores, amusement parks, new-to-me towns/cities, etc. Even in a foreign country where I may only have been there for one day, people seem to know that I can help point the way.

At first this “skill” used to annoy me because if I took the trouble to figure it out on my own, why can’t others figure it out…why do I have to be the one to help them? (I know…it’s so petty on my part). I’ve since learned to enjoy my role as navigator. It’s almost comical the way it seems to happen that now I get a kick out of it…it becomes a win-win situation.

That’s what we’re encouraged to do: learn to enjoy our role as helpers…however that looks for us.

How about you? Is giving back a core value for you?

BTW…here’s what it looked like to begin with …

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.

My Mission: connecting with our Inner Light in delightful, inspiring ways For me, creating mandalas is more than just coloring pretty patterns in a circle. I do it because my spiritual evolution and creativity require it of me. My mandala designs come about within an active meditative state, connected with my higher self, my spiritual guides and nature spirits. Together, we bring into form, mandala art the allows me to re-connect with my own inner peace and joy, letting me explore and expand my own creative spirit to however far and in whatever direction I want to take it. As part of my own spiritual journey, I encourage, and hopefully inspire, others to explore their own creativity, to help them re-connect with their own inner peace and joy. As a means to that end, I make all of my mandalas available for people to color. Why should I have all the fun?
