Take Responsibility

This week we focus on the concept of The Basics. Today’s MotD encourages us to stop waiting for others to rescue us or even change their ways. If we want things to be different in our lives, then it’s up to us to take responsibility for our lives.

Just this morning, I wanted to blame our scale for my weight number going up…because everyone knows that they can go out of calibration…right??? Instead of being upset with the scale, I stopped myself and did a quick inventory of my eating habits over the last couple of days. And lo and behold…oh yeah, I forgot about some of the binging I did the other day. Oops. If I want the number to go down, I have to take responsibility for what I put into my body.

Essentially, we’re being asked to own up to are part in how our lives are going right now. If something’s not going the way we want it to, how much effort have we put into making it the way we want it? The blame game isn’t going to cut it anymore. Stuff happens…now what are we going to do about it?

How about you? What in your life could use a bit more of you taking responsibility for it?

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:

Creating Mandalas 🔆 Awakening Inner Harmony

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.

My Mission: connecting with our Inner Light in delightful, inspiring ways For me, creating mandalas is more than just coloring pretty patterns in a circle. I do it because my spiritual evolution and creativity require it of me. My mandala designs come about within an active meditative state, connected with my higher self, my spiritual guides and nature spirits. Together, we bring into form, mandala art the allows me to re-connect with my own inner peace and joy, letting me explore and expand my own creative spirit to however far and in whatever direction I want to take it. As part of my own spiritual journey, I encourage, and hopefully inspire, others to explore their own creativity, to help them re-connect with their own inner peace and joy. As a means to that end, I make all of my mandalas available for people to color. Why should I have all the fun?
