Welcome to this week’s Mandala Inspiration called “The Magic of Possibility”.
This week I decided again to start drawing a mandala without a clear plan for this week’s theme. This is what emerged. It’s far from perfect – lopsided really :-), but I’m still happy with it overall. It expresses an inner core that is in the process of moving and expanding outwards.

Welcome to this week’s Mandala Inspiration about “Comfort”.
This week’s mandala theme of comfort was inspired by knowing people around me who have recently lost loved ones. It is also in recognition of any time that we may be in need of a little comfort, no matter the cause of our distress or suffering.
