Believe in Today
Our focus this week — Oct 1-7: “Faith”
Today’s MotD: Believe in Today. We’re encouraged to believe in today because, quite frankly, it’s the only day we truly have. Yes, we may be going through some challenges, we may be having a difficult time figuring out what the heck we’re doing, or maybe everything is fine and yet we’re worried about what tomorrow will bring.
We’re being reminded that today is the only day we can do something about any of those things. Today we could take a small step forward on a project, we could change something about ourselves or how we do things, we could take a day of much needed rest to just float. All viable options, that can only happen today.
Another way of looking at ”believe in today” is that today is just one day in a string of days. Think of it like running a marathon. We can be at the starting line thinking about all 26.2 miles ahead and feel overwhelmed OR we can focus on just getting through the first mile. And when we complete that first mile, then all we need focus on is getting through the next mile, and the next, and the next, and so on. Before we know it (and for me it was 5 hours and 37 minutes later), we’ve finished the race.
So we’re encouraged to believe in today being another day in a string of days along the way of many and it’s up to us how best we use and experience these 24 hours…because it’s our choice to make.
How about you ? Are you able to focus on what absolutely “needs” to “be” today ? Do you believe that today can be anything you choose it to be ? Can you just be present with today, feeling and doing exactly what best serves you to feel and do today ?
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.
