Magic
We continue this week focused on practicing an attitude of gratitude. For our final day of this week, we look at the magic of gratitude. Actually we create the magic when we say “thank you”. Ever notice how people tend to light up when we thank them…especially if it’s said from a place of sincerity…and extra-especially if we’re looking directly into the eyes of the person we’re thanking.
And because of that, because we’ve helped them light up, our light shines even brighter as well. It’s the gift that keeps on giving. So why wouldn’t we do it all the time? I get it—“stuff” happens that we let dim our light.
Which is why and all the more reason for us to be ever diligent, ever mindful of our “light”, our state of mind. When we catch ourselves in those low light moments, that’s when we bring gratitude out of our tool box of energy enhancers. What could use our thanks right now—even if we have to fake?
Let’s find five things around us that we can thank right now. Then let the magic of gratitude turn up the volume of our energy, our vibration, our light.
How about you? Have you noticed how the energy of yourself and others lift when you express gratitude? If not, start noticing…the magic is there to be discovered.
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.
