The Way to Serenity
This week we focus on the concept of “Easy Does It”. Today’s MotD encourages us to let go of our fears and anxieties by learning how to take a relaxing, easy does it, approach because THAT is the way to serenity.
Throughout this week’s focus I’ve been practicing paying attention to when I’m straining or trying too hard. And when I do, I then tell myself to stop, breathe, and say a mantra like: I align myself with peace or I align myself with stillness or I am at peace.
I have to admit, I finally found something that actually helps me. Most times I’m in a chronic state of hyper-vigilance…even when I’m doing my art which is contrary to its intended purpose. The key factor, though, is noticing when I’m not a peace…awareness is half the battle in most endeavors, the rest is just a course correction.
How about you? Are you open to learning (and practicing) the way to serenity? Pay attention…breathe…affirm your quest for inner harmony…repeat. It’s really quite easy.
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.
