It’s Worth the Effort

Our focus this week — Aug 27-Sep 2: “Forgiveness”

Today’s MotD: It’s Worth the Effort. We are encouraged to be willing to ask for forgiveness when warranted and safe to do so. We’re also encouraged to forgive others who come to us asking for their forgiveness. Either way, if we don’t, whatever the issue is, it will eat away at us and/or lead to resentment which robs us of our peace and well-being-ness.

While it’s truly a humbling experience and a big challenge for many of us, it’s so worth the effort to offer and/or receive forgiveness. Know that it may seem awkward at first but it does get easier over time.

How about you ? Do you think of asking for or being asked for forgiveness as something that’s difficult to do ? Would you like to free yourself of your guilt and be a peace ? Or would you rather hold onto it ?

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.
