25-007 Practice

MotD 25-007 Practice — After. Puzzle Piece No. 85. painted with colors of blue/green and yellow/brown/green

While on this pilgrimage, we’re encouraged to practice the new value(s) we’ve chosen to adopt. One that I’m working on right now is mindfulness. I’m practicing it by remembering to pause throughout the day so as to allow myself to be fully present in that moment and to take a deep breath.

At this point, I’m remembering about 3 times a day. My plan is to up that number by at least one each day. Even if I only pause once in a day, I’m still ahead from when I didn’t it at all.

How about you? Is there a new value you’ve adopted? What is it? How are you practicing it?

BTW…Here’s the before…the back and front 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:

🏵️ Creating Mandalas — Awakening Inner Harmony

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.

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?
