Stepping Up

The focus for this week is about the challenges in our lives, the ones that are coming at us externally and the ones we created ourselves (intentionally or unintentionally). Yesterday we looked at the priorities of the challenges and to practice discerning which ones are distractions and which ones are legitimate challenges we want/need to take on.

Today we take it a “step” further. Understanding our priorities, are we ready, willing, and able to “step up” to the plate to accept these challenges in order to move forward on our pilgrimage?

In the case of those of us who seek inner harmony, are we ready, willing, and able to step up to the fear(s) and/or limiting belief(s) that challenge our peace?

How about you? Are you ready to step up to the plate and accept your true challenge(s)?

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:

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.
