Breathe
This week we focus on the concept of The Basics. Today’s MotD reminds us that when all else fails, just breathe. Taking conscious deep breaths is the quickest easiest way to become grounded, present, calmer, and focused.
Breathe with awareness of the breath coming in and going out. And honestly, why wait until things become worse to remember to consciously breathe. Let’s do it regularly throughout the day.
How about you? Stop what you’re doing right now and take three conscious deep breaths.
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.
