Life as a Prayer
This week we focus on the concept of prayer. Today’s MotD suggests that we explore the idea of living our lives as a prayer—that every moment is sacred, every moment is blessed one. We’re being reminded that not everyone gets to live on this planet, and those of us that do, there’s no guarantee of how long of a life we’ll get to live.
In our chaotic, hustle-bustle world, living life as a prayer seems like a big ask and yet living that way, at least as often as we can, transforms our lives to one of peace and ultimately joy.
So how do we do this? First off we need to practice being present because ONLY in the present can we take any action; and in this case the action can be as simple as deep breathing, saying “thank you” to what is, asking for help/guidance, reminding ourselves of our commitment to live life as a prayer, and so on. And we get to decide what that means for us.
How about you? Is living life as a prayer a possibility for you? What would it take to make that happen?
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.
