December 2009 – Perspective

Einstein defined insanity as doing the same thing over and over again, expecting different results. Regardless of how many times we beat our heads up against the wall, it’s still going to hurt. So here’s my advice: STOP IT!

November 2009 – Grateful

Before and during my recent travels to and from South Carolina, I found myself using the “H” (hate) word a lot.

October 2009 – Ray Dance

Late one afternoon, about 9 years ago my husband and I drove to Mary’s Peak (Oregon) even though the road to the top was still closed due to snow.

September 2009 – Vibrations

Some of you may be old enough to know the Beach Boys song, “Good Vibrations”. That’s what we’re striving for this month…good vibrations. We are all energy…you, me, the computer keyboard I’m typing on right now, the chair I’m sitting, and so on. Energy has a vibration, a frequency.

August 2009 – Up Close & Personal

This is one of those mandalas where the look of it changes as you rotate it around. Each turn gives you a new perspective. Last month we were to work on being still, this month its about going inward, from every possible perspective, to take a good look at ourselves.

June 2009 – Persistence

Last month’s MOTM was about finding balance and being gentle on ourselves. Regardless of setbacks, keep moving forward. Apparently, this month we expand on this them to add persistence to the mix.

May 2009 – Delicate Balance

This was a two day process. Yesterday while meditating I saw the 3-pointed celtic-like image. The rest came today while sketching out the entire mandala.

April 2009 – Pretty, Please

The words, “Pretty, Please” came to mind while I was doing something else and I happened to ask myself, ‘what is the word or phrase for this mandala?’

March 2009 – Eureka!

Our goal this month is to take the time to find our nuggets of gold buried deep within; our talents, skills, joys, laughter, etc. Focus on that, let that be our quest. As the negative speak comes to the surface, acknowledge it, thank it for share, and then let it go. Continue onward and upward.

February 2009 – Calmness

This mandala is about creating calmness in our lives regardless of what’s going on around us…In general, coloring, and especially coloring mandalas, is a fun way to meditate allowing you to achieve calmness.
