Be Open to the Answer
This week we focus on “Guidance”. Today’s MotD encourages us, that when we ask for guidance, that we be open about the answer we receive and how it comes to us. Knowing that our Higher Power (whatever name you want to give It/Them) has a broader perspective of our situation, They may give us an unexpected answer…in an unexpected way.
For me, once I let go of how the guidance should come to me, it started showing up in the most unexpected places: a line of dialogue from a movie or tv show, hearing a certain piece of music at certain perfect time, meeting someone new who just happens to know how to help me, getting an email or phone call out of the blue on the very topic of my question, and in my dreams.
How do I know it’s the guidance and not just my imagination? For me it’s the energy associated with it. Back in the 80s, while I was in therapy dealing with/ healing from childhood issues, I saw a lesser-known movie about three young brothers (I have three younger brothers) dealing with an abusive father/situation (ditto). At one point, one of the brother says something that just felt like it shot right out of the screen and into my heart and head. Unfortunately I can’t recall the name of the movie or the line that was said. Regardless, it gave me further insight into my family’s dynamic, leading to greater healing for me.
Even though I fail to recall the details, the important part of what I shared is how it affected me. That’s what we need to focus on, the energy associated with whatever comes. We just need to be open for when it comes.
How about you? Are you open to how you receive guidance? Do you expect it to only come to you in a certain way? Can you let go of the how and let it come to you in its own best way?
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.
