Royal Light Mandala

It takes a lot of courage to release the familiar and seemingly secure, to embrace the new. But there is no real security in what is no longer meaningful. There is more security in the adventurous and exciting, for in movement there is life, and in change there is power  ~ Alan Cohen

It takes courage to be who we are, to live from the love that resides in our hearts and to act from the strength that resides at our core. Every moment presents us with an opportunity to love and accept ourselves just as we are.

I created this mandala more than two weeks ago. When I realized the message it contained was about courage, I admit that I froze and could not write. Last night I received another prompting from my guidance telling me that it was time to finish writing this blog post and to let the mandala be seen.

So here it is.

I am offering up this mandala with its golden circle of tiny flowers for all of us today. Imagine, if you will, that all the stories that may have served us in the past are what is contained in the background of the circle, now  fading away.

Be lion-hearted. Be strong. Be of great courage!

The combination of yellows and textures are truly resonant for this past few weeks. Thank you Sue.

Hi, Sue.
I just happened to come upon your beautiful site. The quote from Alan Cohen and your subsequent notes mean more to me today than you could ever know. Many thanks for the beauty you're sharing with the world.
