Stop Rejecting Ourselves
This week we focus on “Love-ability”. Today’s MotD encourages us to be grateful when someone shows love or kindness to us. One of our greatest fears is the fear of rejection. It’s bad enough when someone else does it to us, but why would we want to do that to ourselves? We are all worthy and deserving of love…especially to ourselves.
Learning how to love ourselves is probably our greatest challenge especially if our childhood environment was less than loving. For me growing up, I was always on the alert for potential rejection from either or both of the ‘rents. Worse than them yelling at me for doing something “wrong”, was their looks of disappointing when I didn’t do something that they felt was good enough…which I seemed to experience on a daily basis. I always felt that nothing I did was good enough for them. I realize now that that was them sharing their way of expressing their self rejection and lack of self worth. It’s heartbreaking all around.
Thanks to therapy and the self—help work I’ve been/am doing for myself, each day I’m feeling so much better about myself and what I do. I still catch myself worrying about being a disappointment to others…and when I do, I ask my Team of Guides and Angels to help me see this differently. They always come through for me.
How about you? Are you grateful when someone shows you kindness or love? Or do you reject it? Do you allow yourself to feel worthy of acts of kindness from others?
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:

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.
