Simple, Easy Things
Our focus this week — July 16–22: “Stepping Into the Unknown”
Today’s MotD: Simple, Easy Things. When it comes to stepping into the unknown, we are encouraged to keep things simple, do easy things, and embrace self-care. Whether a big or small change, it behooves us to stay mindful of moving forward in baby steps…at least at first. Focus mainly on things that absolutely need to be done now, putting off other things for a later date.
Essentially are attention is best focused on the here and now versus the big picture…again, at least for now. Once we’re in flow with the unknown, we can broaden our sights.
I find this especially true with my projects. While I’ll make strides (usually in baby steps) on my projects, the ones that get my immediate attention are ones with upcoming deadlines. Even then, I break those down into daily, easy/simple-to-do tasks, usually written out in a spreadsheet. What this does for me is ease any sense of overwhelm and keeps my head clear of what can get done today.
How about you ? When dealing with the unknown, are you open to keeping things simple and/or easy to do ? Is there one simple/easy task you can take care of today ? What simple/easy task can you set up for tomorrow, and the next day, and so on ?
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.
