Cause & Effect

A basic rule to this game of life here on earth: actions and/or inactions have consequences. What we do or don’t do has an effect on what happens next. Today, it’s not so much about changing anything but to open up to noticing the causes and effects we’re creating for ourselves.

If we (I) keep eating pints of ice cream every day, it will have an effect on our (my) weight and overall health. If we (I) walk for two miles multiple days a week, that too will have an effect on our (my) weight and overall health. If we (I) keep putting off doing something we (I) love to do or truly want to do, eventually it will affect our (my) mood and overall well being.

Today’s MotD encourages to pay attention to our actions and inactions…what are the resulting effects? positive? negative? Just notice. As in anything, awareness is half the battle.

How about you? What’s something you’re doing (or not doing) that is causing a negative effect? What value(s) would help alter the effect to a positive one?

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?
