Give it Away to Keep It
Our focus this week — July 2–8: “Service”
Today’s MotD: Give it Away to Keep It. We are reminded that when we’re being of service to others, it serves us as well.
For instance when we do something as simple as holding the door open for someone, especially if we’re doing it from a place of joy (ie: happy to help someone), our hearts are uplifted and we feel even more joy. The beauty of it is that joy grows from within and spreads outwards.
Our challenge becomes letting go of any expectation of our service being received with joy…that’s on the other person. Our joy comes from within regardless of external forces.
So if we want more joy, we’re encouraged to spread more joy.
How about you ? Are you open to being of service from a place of joy ? Can you be of service from a place of joy regardless of how it is received ? Are you open to experiencing more heart-uplifting 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:
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.
