Open My Heart
Our focus this week — Dec 24-31: “The Puzzle of Love”
Today’s MotD: Open My Heart. On this penultimate day of 2025, we’re encouraged to ask the Powers That Be to help us open our hearts, to allow ourselves to receive love, to welcome it, and then to share it.
We, as a society, have this false notion that we have to make people love us, like us, be with us, be kind to us, hear us, etc..through manipulation, trickery, guilt, force, or another other way BUT from a place of love. Yes, it sounds a bit Pollyanna-ish, and yet, if we all came from this place of love, we wouldn’t feel the need to “make” it happen. It would already be there—for all of us.
As a matter of fact, love IS already there within us, we’ve just covered it up with our fears, hurts, and limiting beliefs. As we approach the new year, maybe our resolution for 2026 could be reciting a daily mantra: each day I open my heart just a little bit more.
How about you ? What does love feel like to you ? What does love look like to you ? In what ways do you express love to yourself and others ?
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.
