Let It Unfold

This week we focus on the concept of “Easy Does It”. Today’s MotD reminds us to pay attention to when we feel ourselves straining to make something happen. And when we do, follow Melody Beattie’s suggested 4 steps (as often as needed throughout the day or situation ):

  • Stop
  • Restrain yourself
  • Relax
  • Now, try again—gently

Essentially we’re reminded that sometimes, less is really more.

How about you? Do you ever notice yourself straining to make something happen and how it just seems to be making things worse? Next time, follow these four steps and notice the difference.

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.
