Living Without Drama

Our focus this week: “Serenity”.

We start this week with today’s MotD: Living Without Drama. Who wouldn’t want that! And yet, how often do we create or participate in our own drama or others’. Our challenge becomes recognizing when we’re in the drama and to immediately do whatever we can, in a positive way, to bring us back to peace…which is meant to be our natural state (believe it or not).

In the process of creating this post, my iPad froze up three times, which is unusual. So three times I had to re-enter this post information. By the third time it just became silly, and I had to laugh. I asked my Team was this a test based on today’s theme? Were You just playing with me to see how I would handle it? Yes, they said…with giggles. Ha…Ha.

I admit, I panicked, especially after the third time when my ipad completely froze up and I couldn’t even restart it. It wasn’t a major panic. I was calm enough to focus on how to remedy it. But in the back of my head I heard a lot of “Oh shit, Oh shite, Oh shit!”. Thankfully, I had my iphone and was able to find out how to fix it. And now I’m back. YaY!

I asked my Team: did I pass the test ? To which They replied: “better than usual”.

How about you ? Do you always seem to be in the middle of some drama ? Is it of your own making ? Or do you feel compelled to join into someone else’s drama ?

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.
