Who’s In Charge
As we go about our day, we’re encouraged to pause and take note of which part of ourselves is in charge in that moment. Are we acting from a place that’s hurting, agitated, fearful, or angry, or are we acting from a place that’s energized, uplifted, open, or calm?
In other words, who are we putting in charge of us: our ego self or our higher self. One keeps us stuck in whatever mire we’ve placed ourselves in, the other one helps us move forward. Being tense with shallow breathing and a fear-based mindset in the past or in the future keeps us in ego mode. Taking just two or three deep, conscious, relaxing breaths brings us into the present moment and helps open a proper connection with our higher self.
It begs the question: which state of being do we value more?
How about you? Do you ever stop to consider which part of yourself is in charge? Who’s taking all the action? Lower self or higher self? Or someplace in between?
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:

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.
