Open to Opening

This week we focus on “An Open Heart”. Today’s MotD encourages to be open to the idea of opening our hearts…especially if our hearts have been closed for a while due to hurts, disillusionments, and/or cynicism. Just know that “un-jading” ourselves is a choice.

Yes, We can choose to stay closed but know this…closing our hearts to potential hurt is also closing our hearts to potential joy. If we are suffering, we can choose to stay in the suffering, or we can turn the other way and look for the door that leads to opening our hearts. Just that one shift, can start changing things for the better.

A mantra that might help with this is: I allow myself to being open to opening my heart.

How about you ? Are you open to opening your heart ? Are you open to taking that step forward ? Are you open to the potential of experiencing joy ?

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:

Creating Mandalas 🔆 Awakening Inner Harmony

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.

My Mission: connecting with our Inner Light in delightful, inspiring ways For me, creating mandalas is more than just coloring pretty patterns in a circle. I do it because my spiritual evolution and creativity require it of me. My mandala designs come about within an active meditative state, connected with my higher self, my spiritual guides and nature spirits. Together, we bring into form, mandala art the allows me to re-connect with my own inner peace and joy, letting me explore and expand my own creative spirit to however far and in whatever direction I want to take it. As part of my own spiritual journey, I encourage, and hopefully inspire, others to explore their own creativity, to help them re-connect with their own inner peace and joy. As a means to that end, I make all of my mandalas available for people to color. Why should I have all the fun?
