diddy, so glad you had a great visit with Daddy. I didn’t remember that he was going to be there in Pennsylvania until you commented earlier in the week on red Ravine. How wonderful that he’s visited all week!

And you all colored mandalas. I just love that! And doing the same template between all of you, I bet that was really fun. I loved when Liz and I did that — to see all the different colors that we used and how different the same template looked when each of us did it.

I’m glad you printed some out for E. Elise, too, to take home and color. I’m thrilled that you are all doing that.

Liz’s graduation last night was fantastic. She has family here from Brooklyn, New York, Ohio & Tennessee, and Cody, Wyoming. We went to dinner downtown, then walked over to the convention center. Three friends joined us, too, Teri, Susan, and Gail. I was so proud of her! She looked stunning, too. We were pretty exhausted when we got home last night, but we felt so full of family, friendship, love. A great accomplishment.

I’ll tell Liz’s Mom hello from you when I see her today. She talks about you and the friendship that was born from your meeting on red Ravine. Connections across the country, personal, and around writing. What a great thing! More later. It’s a big family week here.

Heather, thank you for your kinds words, about the mandalas and about Liz. We do have fun creating together. I think you are right, we inspire each other, the way ybonesy and I do for the blog. It makes a big difference to have that kind of support. I’ll tell Liz to check out your comment.

ybonesy, thanks. I sure missed you when you were away. Yes, I will tell Liz congrats for you, too. We are all so proud of her. With the mandalas, you know something I’ve noticed is that I tend to draw in the empty centers on the templates, fill them with line and color. It’s good to do a practice like this once a month, because, over time, I can see patterns, and the ways I am supported by doing these posts. I hope to paint some mandalas in the studio once I finish getting settled there. I can’t wait.

QM, I just looked at that first mandala, the hand-drawn one that started with a dot in the middle. It’s striking. It reminds me of rivers, different flowing rivers. The colors are wonderful, too. I love the earthy yellow against the sky blue and the red.

The mandalas are wonderful, QM and Liz. I agree with Heather — the collaboration is great! Way to inspire — one another and us.

Congratulations, Liz. I told QM today in an email that I hope we hear more about your journey and this huge milestone.

On the mandalas, they’re all wonderful, and I especially am drawn to the heart chakra one. The design is so striking, and I think even more than that, or maybe on top of that, those colors are wonderful. And the free-hand labyrinths are so amazing. I can get lost in that big one.

diddy, cool that you also are doing mandalas with your family. What a great idea. (Like group ear-candling ). Seriously, though, it sounds like a great way to spend time together doing something that makes everyone feel at peace.

First of all I want to shout out a big “Congratuluations Graduate!” to Liz!!!!!! I hope you are enjoying the company of her family members. A big hug please to Liz’s Mother from me!
I so enjoy the mandala posts! Loved them all! My favorite is the 3rd one, the heart chakra. And of the the ones done by Liz, I agree with anuvuestudio on the “free spirit” one with the yellow squiggles.
Today I printed about 30 mandala designs for Daddy, his friend J, & E. Elise, & us to color. We all colored the same design & then compared the differences in our creativity. What fun (& relaxation) for all! E. Elise took the rest of the copies home with her & plans on coloring them with gel pens, cutting them out, & gluing them to her homemade Christmas cards.
My company is now gone. It was wonderful to see Daddy again. D

It’s wonderful to see the collaboration between you. It’s no wonder you make a wonderful pair. You can bounce off each other’s creativity and have fun while doing it. Liz, my favorite is the free spirit of the yellow squiggles with the red centered speckles. It reminds me of a wild flower. I’m guessing you’ve a spirit to match H
