Experienced Life
Our focus this week — July 9–15: “Goals, Hopes, and Dreams”
Today’s MotD: Experienced life. We start a new week with the focus on goals, hopes, and dreams. Today we’re encouraged to experience the life we want to create for ourselves so that in the end, we can honestly say we experienced life to the fullest.
Our challenge becomes figuring out whether we want to live a life of fear or live a life of experiences. It’s not that we don’t have any fears, it’s that we move forward and experience life and all it has to offer us in SPITE of our fears.
To quote Susan Jeffers book title: “Feel the fear and do it anyway”. In other words, we don’t have to deny or ignore the fear(s), just acknowledge it/them and decide to move forward anyway. As if to say: “Even though it scares me to ________________, I’m going to do it anyway. I may fail, it may backfire on me, or it may be a huge success, regardless, I know I can handle whatever happens.”
How about you ? Do you want to live your life in a constant state of fear ? Or do you want to go after your goals, hopes, and dreams ? What’s one fear you have right now that you could acknowledge (ie: you could face) as a step forward towards making one of your goals, hopes, and dreams a reality ?
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.
