What’s Next ?

Our focus this week — July 16–22: “Stepping Into the Unknown”

Today’s MotD: What’s Next ? We start a new week with a new focus: Stepping Into the Unknown. Life happens. Circumstances change. People leave. These are all some of the things that create uncertainty in our lives. When that happens, we’re usually left wondering “what’s next” ?

One of the most advantageous places we can be in life is in a place called “I don’t know”. From this place, we actually have a 360º vantage point. Where before, in our comfort zone, we had a narrower view point…that which was our usual, the same thing, day in day out. With a 360º view, we open ourselves up to a whole world of possibilities and directions we can follow.

We are thus encouraged to embrace this place of “what’s next” (the “I don’t know”)…it’s a place that allows ourselves to be creative with our lives and open up to new possibilities.

How about you ? When it comes to change, do you prefer to stay in your comfort zone or go with the flow of it ? Can you allow yourself to be positively present with uncertainty and “I don’t know” ? Are you open to broadening your view of possibilities ?

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.
