It seems only fitting that today’s title be called “Quest”…I’m on a quest to create one large mandala, one puzzle piece at a time, one day at a time. A lot of prep work went into making this first day happen…now my plan is to play with painting each of these pieces, without knowing how it’s all going to turn out in the end.
We can also see today as the beginning of our own personal quest, whatever that may be…in my case it’s a spiritual quest in pursuit of inner peace…and healing whatever is in the way.
Similar to step one of the 12 Step program, I’m admitting to myself that up until now, while I’ve made great strides over the years, I find myself full of anxiety from unresolved fears and limiting beliefs. To help me on this quest, I’m using Melody Beattie’s book “52 Weeks of Conscious Contact” as inspiration for these daily paintings.
Today it’s just about taking the first step.
How about you? What quest are you pursuing in 2025?
BTW…Here’s the before…it’s the backside view of the puzzle piece and the pretty ceramic box that holds all my numbers from which I randomly choose each day’s puzzle piece number:
Peace & Blessings,

ABOUT THE 2025 Mandalas of the Day
Throughout the year, I’ll be building one large (48”x48”) Tibetan-styled Mandala one piece at a time…one puzzle piece at a time, that is. The mandala design and the reversed puzzle side were printed on artist-quality watercolor paper. The forward facing puzzle side was printed on a 48”x48” wood panel.
Each day, at random, I’ll be painting in watercolors one of the 365 watercolor puzzle pieces, that by the end of the year will become Archangel Mandala #4. Read more about the Archangel Series. The word/message for each piece will be inspired by Melody Beattie’s book “52 Weeks of Conscious Contact”.
Ultimately, the message of this mandala is about how we are all uniquely part of the one.
