Learn Something New

This week we focus on the concept of having an “Open Mind”. Today’s MotD encourages us to learn something new. Of course what first comes to mind is to think of something outside of ourselves that we could learn: a new dance move, a new way to use the air fryer, or a new way to get to work, and so on. How about we focus on learning something new about ourselves.

This brings to mind the egg scene from Julia Roberts’ movie “Runaway Bride” where she makes eggs every which way she can so that she can discover for herself how she truly prefers her eggs. Up until then she always ordered her eggs the same as the guy she was going to marry. When she’s called out on it by Richard Gere’s character, she takes it to heart and begins her favorite eggs quest.

I’m going to take on this challenge today and allow myself to learn something new about myself that I didn’t know before or about something I’ve kept hidden from myself, deep in the basement of my psyche.

How about you? Are you open to learning something new about yourself today?

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?
