What’s Important to You ?
Our focus this week — July 9–15: “Goals, Hopes, and Dreams”
Today’s MotD: What’s Important to You ? We are encouraged to take a moment to establish for ourselves: what’s important to us. Are we creating circumstances that are moving us away from our goals, hopes, and dreams (GHD), or are we being true to ourselves by following a path that leads us towards our GHD ?
Knowing what’s important to us enables us to better determine what are GHDs are. For instance, if spending quality time with our family is important to us, does our GHD reflect that in some way ? If starting our own business is important to us, is it part of our GHD ? If being part of a community is important to us, is that a major component of our GHD ?
For me, of late, I’ve been catching myself saying to myself and others: I just want to play with all my art supplies…free of any pressure to have to market them, show them, or sell them. I want to experiment with them, be creative with them, and see how they can all work together somehow. In the process I hope to be able to share my experiments—the good, the bad, and the weird—with the intention of hopefully inspiring creativity in others.
It occurs to me, in this moment, that if I were to make my GHD reflect just that, I would then be in total alignment with my two core values: play and curiosity.
How about you ? What’s important to YOU ? Do you make that part of your goals, hopes, and dreams ? What would your goals, hopes, and dreams be if you were to truly honor what’s important to you ?
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.
