Service With a Smile
Our focus this week — July 2–8: “Service”
Today’s MotD: Service With a Smile. We are encouraged, when serving others, to offer that service with a smile. This means that whatever service we offer we best be sure it’s right for us, that it’s something we’re able to do from the heart, that benefits others, and adds to others’ quality of life.
If we opt to do something that makes us miserable or resentful, then that defeats the whole purpose of being of service. For me, often times my service involves art or creativity in some way. Recently I helped with painting a community street mural. And for a local organization, I created a mandala design for kids to color as part of their family day event.
How about you ? What form of service can you offer that you can easily do with a smile ? Is there something you’ve been wanting to offer but some form of fear keeps you from trying ? Are you willing to stretch yourself to do something a bit beyond your comfort zone ?
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.
