For Janet, Mandala 03-27-15

My mandalas are usually about letting go and not making things happen...but in this case, the one conscious decision I made was to have a symbol of strength incorporated in the design. I think that was achieved with the geometric element of the "braided circle". There are hearts in the four corners, and a double row of them within the mandala itself, symbolic naturally of love; curls, which are usually found in my designs representing life anew; and flowers radiating from the beginning central point and everywhere to remember beauty. 
I am so sorry for your loss, and your losses.  Perhaps the soothing nature of coloring may bring peace to your soul and some insights to console you. Please feel free to slide this design onto your desktop and print it, so you can add your colors. May God's love surround you and bring you to where you need to go on this journey.
