The Power of Honesty
This week we focus on the concept of “The Dark Side”. Today’s MotD reminds us how powerful honesty can be—not only for us, but for others. It takes courage to be honest and when we allow ourselves to be courageous it also enables and empowers others to be courageous as well—especially when it comes to traversing our “dark side”.
Melody shares a prayer in her book that I feel is worth repeating here:
“Give me the courage to be honest about myself. Keep me from causing harm to myself or others. Help me learn about the tremendous power and healing of honestly sharing who I really am.”
How about you? Can you allow yourself to be courageous as you journey into and through the “dark side”? Are you willing to be and share who you really are?
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.
