Right Where You Need to Be
Our focus this week — Oct 1-7: “Faith”
Today’s MotD: Right Where You Need to Be. We’re encouraged to have faith that we are right where we need to be—even if it feels like we’re stuck or that it appears things are moving too slow.
When my husband and I first decided we wanted to move to Oregon from Florida, it took five years for that to happen. About 2.5 years into that five years I asked the powers that be via my dream state “why is it taking so long ?”
I woke up from a dream that let me know that things are not in place yet for us to make that move. It also said that when it’s time, it will happen quickly. Having that insight let me be present where I was and have faith that when the time is right we’ll be on our way. And that’s exactly how it played out…2.5 years later. We’ve been in Oregon now for 25 years.
When I do readings for people I’m often asked questions like “when will I meet my soul mate ?”, “when will I get that new job ?”, or “when will I be able to have a baby ?”, and so on. With each of these types of questions, instead of going with the actual questions, we look at why you are where you are right now with questions like “why are you single ?”, “what’s going on with your current job ?”, and “why are you childless at the moment “?
Invariably, the answers usually come back similar to mine about moving to Oregon. With being single, maybe more internal work needs to be done before finding the “one”. With the current job, maybe there’s something else that could be gleaned from it that would lend itself better to finding that new job. With being childless, maybe the child that’s wanting to come through needs more time to prep itself before opting to incarnate.
Essentially, sometimes we’re where we are because something needs to be addressed, learned, experienced, etc before moving forward; and it may take a bit of faith and trusting that we’re right where we need to be.
How about you ? Is there some part of your life that’s not going the way you’d like it to go ? Are you open to the idea that it’s quite possible that you are right where you need to be ? And if that is so, what would you venture the reason to be ?
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.
