Generosity is an Attitude

Our focus this week — Nov 12-Nov 18: “Generosity”

Today’s MotD: Generosity is an Attitude. Generosity is an attitude and a behavior. It’s how we interact with others. Melody says “It includes smiling, listening, giving compliments, forgiving, being compassionate, being kind, laughing, approving, mentoring, encouraging—being generous with all the good stuff in life.”

We’re encouraged to change the course of the world today by being generous in some way. It’s doesn’t need to be some grand, sweeping gesture. It could be a simple act of kindness like holding a door open for the next person or waving to a neighbor while on a walk or calling a friend who’s not feeling well.

We could also extend this generosity to ourselves by being kind with the words we tell ourselves or listening to music that uplifts us or allowing ourselves to take a much needed nap. Again, no need for grand gestures. Just simple ones that can build over time. All with the intention of expanding our self-worth, confidence, and growth…thus allowing us to become even more generous.

How about you ? What’s one way you can be generous today ? Sharing a smile ? Giving a Compliment ? Listening to a friend who is struggling right now ? Letting someone go ahead of you in line ? Holding a door open for someone ? It’s the little things, that when added up they become transformative.

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?
