Let It Be What It Is

Our focus this week — Aug 6-12: “Wait and See”

Today’s MotD: Let It Be What It Is. Sometimes when we focus too hard on something (a person or situation), trying to figure out what to do about it, how to fix it, or change it, or control it to be the way we want it, we cloud our minds, judgment, and common sense with worry and what ifs.

We’re encouraged, in these types of situations, to just let the situation be what it is…to just sit with the facts of the situation. By taking a wait and see approach, we may come to realize that there’s nothing to be done or it may not be the time to do anything or that it’s not ours to deal with in the first place.

We don’t necessarily have to let go of it, but with letting it be for a moment, we might just gain some clarity and insight on how best to move forward then we would by letting our anxious thoughts take over.

How about you ? How are you with letting things be as they are ? What situations are easier than others to let go ? Are you open to letting a current situation just be what it is for a bit ?

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:

Creating Mandalas 🔆 Awakening Inner Harmony

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.

My Mission: connecting with our Inner Light in delightful, inspiring ways For me, creating mandalas is more than just coloring pretty patterns in a circle. I do it because my spiritual evolution and creativity require it of me. My mandala designs come about within an active meditative state, connected with my higher self, my spiritual guides and nature spirits. Together, we bring into form, mandala art the allows me to re-connect with my own inner peace and joy, letting me explore and expand my own creative spirit to however far and in whatever direction I want to take it. As part of my own spiritual journey, I encourage, and hopefully inspire, others to explore their own creativity, to help them re-connect with their own inner peace and joy. As a means to that end, I make all of my mandalas available for people to color. Why should I have all the fun?
