2024 January “You Are Here”

The Mandala Lady,

Download and color the January 2024 Mandala of the Month

For 2024 I embark on “A Journey Into Joy”…you’re welcome to come along with me. Over the next 12 months I’ll be leading us through a modified version of the hero’s journey, as professed by Joseph Campbell.

My quest for this year is to work through all that is keeping me from my joy. I know it’s there and I intend to uncover it, one month at a time, once and for all.

First Step? Know where you are. Essentially this step encourages us to do an honest assessment—just the facts, without judging or criticizing—where we are right now in the different areas of our life (health, personal life, work life, retirement, home, leisure, play, education, family, community, etc). In order to move forward, we must know from where we are starting.

For instance, my body’s overall heath is being affected by my excess weight. I currently weigh 163.4 (I’m 5’1’). I’m not body shaming or judging myself…I’m just calling it as I see. That’s where I am right now.

THE PROCESS

I’ll be coloring this mandala once a week throughout the month, as a way to explore “where I am” in different areas of my life. I’ll be posting my colorings along with “my assessments” on the MandalaoftheWeek.com

AN INVITATION

I invite you to color along with me this year on “A Journey Into Joy” with all of my “Mandalas of the ___” (day, week, month, year). If you’re interested in a more self-exploration approach to coloring, check out my “Coloring Mandalas as Meditation”.

Feel free to share your colorings on social media with the hashtag #2024MotM. I’d love to see them.

You can also follow along on IG, Threads, and Facebook (@TheMandalaLady)

Blessings,

Maureen,

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?
