Uncertainty
This week we focus on the value of “Patience”. Today’s MotD reminds us of the challenge of waiting patiently for “things” to happen. The uncertainty of it can be frustrating and maddening. How long do we wait? Should we try something else? A different approach? That’s when it behooves us to go within to honestly assess the situation. Sometimes being so singularly focused on a particular outcome, we close our minds to opting for another way.
Maybe instead of using the word “uncertainty”, we’d be better served using the phase “I don’t know”. When we come from a place of “I don’t know”, all possible options (360º worth) become available to us. If we approach “things” with an IDK mindset and an open mind, we can better discern our next step.
For instance, when we first moved to Oregon, I struggled with finding a job. My background was in software engineering and website development. Finding a job seemed like it would be an easy task. I went on multiple job interviews…nothing. I had to step back and reevaluate my situation. That’s when I opted to start my own small consulting business. And around that same time I began my art career which eventually took over full time.
How about you? How do you cope with uncertainty? How long do you wait before you step back and look for something else? Can you adopt an “IDK” mindset to help with figuring out the “something else”?
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.
