Survival Skills
Our focus this week — Oct 8-14: “Weathering the Storms”
Today’s MotD: Survival Skills. We’re encouraged to tap into our ”backpack of survival skills” when weathering our storms. Over the years we’ve survived many a storm and from them we’ve amassed some skills on how best to manage them.
What did we learn from our previous storms ? What helped us get through them ? Was it having a support team or person in our circle ? Was it our faith ? Was it our ability to focus ? Was it our tenacity ? Was it remembering that we are whole and complete just as we are ? Was it reminding ourselves that we can handle this because we’ve handled things like this before ?
Whatever it is that is in our “survival skills backpack”, we’re reminded to keep it handy so that weathering future storms (or even bypassing them) makes for a much easier hike.
How about you ? If you had a survival skills backpack for weather “storms”, what would be in it ? What have you learned from surviving previous “storms” that can help you with future ones ? Or better yet, what have you learned that can help you avoid them entirely ?
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.
