Consistency

Adopting new values requires a consistency in practicing them…as in every day. It’s like habits, it’s not about stopping the old habit, it’s about creating new ones that override the old ones. Practicing our new values will help take us out of victim mode and into empowerment mode—putting the responsibility back on ourselves…where it belongs.

I struggle with practicing “play”…even when I’m playing. I tend to take a serious approach with everything…including play. In transitioning to turning what I do from a hobby to a business, I’ve resisted (or rather panicked) about taking care of the business side…I mean—it’s serious business, right?

Today someone reminded me that taking care of the business side of things can be fun if I choose to make it so. I’ll have to ponder that one and see how I can make that work…I mean, play.

How about you? Are you adopting any new values? Are you consistently practicing them?

BTW…Here’s the before…the front and back view of today’s 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?
