Mandala Messages began in 2009 when I began pairing my writing and mandalas, and was encouraged by friends to share them.  The thoughts came from my daily journaling practices. The mandalas came from my photography. I would scroll through my photo files to find something that matched my thoughts, my feelings, my emotions.  Then I would create a mandala and send out a new Mandala Message every week. I did this for almost 12 years.
