Pilgrimage of Healing and Consciousness

For 2025, we’re embarking on a 52-week pilgrimage of inward healing, growth, and self-discovery…and ultimately, peace…regardless of whether the healing is related to addiction, grief, or any other challenge we seek to overcome.

The seventh “mile” of our pilgrimage encourages us to embrace an attitude of gratitude—and not just for the positive things and situations we experience. Being thankful for the negative as well, which seems counterintuitive, actually gives us the opportunity to gain a different perspective on the person, thing, and/or situation. Begging the question: yeah, why would I be thankful this? Then pay attention to the answer(s) show up.

Also, the more we express gratitude, the more positive things and situations come our way. It’s like the example of thinking about red cars, for instance. Next thing we know, all we’re seeing are red cars. The more we’re grateful for the blessings in our lives, the more those blessings increase.

In other words, when we allow ourselves to be in grateful state, our Light shines more brightly which in turn helps others to increase their Light.

How about you? What are you grateful for today?

Creating Mandalas 🔆 Awakening Inner Harmony

About the 2025 Mandalas of the Week

Each week I will create a new mandala design to color, along with my coloring of it, and a weekly message and prompt for us to continue on our quest throughout the year. All of which is inspired by Melody Beattie’s book entitled “52 Weeks of Consciousness Contact”.

I will be breaking down each week’s topic into daily insights and images (inspired by Melody’s book) on my blog site: MandalaoftheDay.com where I’ll be creating/building one giant mandala (48”x48”), one puzzle piece of it each day.

May Peace Prevail on Earth and in our Hearts
