Month: May 2020

Today, we conclude our time of “staying home and staying healthy.”. Tomorrow begins the next new program which our governor is calling “stay safe”. And yet last night, protesters and police clashed to such an extent that evacuation was ordered from downtown Seattle and our whole city was put on curfew.

I am safe. My lifestyle protects me in many ways. I haven’t been downtown for months. And I am aware that many of the protesters were not from here. They were on a mission to create upset. Setting fire to a car was very effective. That results in tighter controls. It looks as if the powers that be have been losing control, and so all efforts are being made to try to regain that.

What controls you? Can you experience your freedom to choose which vibration you will track on? Ki to Happiness controls personal freedom with which to choose wisely.

As our state concludes our “staying home and staying healthy”, we will shift into “safe start”. Our challenges are great, so it’s very helpful for us to turn to the help and support of those who have demonstrated their greatness before us.

John of Arc is celebrated on this day. There is no saint more popular, familiar, or inspirational. As an un educated, impoverished, simple 13-year-old, she began seeing visions. She acted on them, with no military training, bringing victory to the French army. For such, she was burned at the stake, considered a witch at age 19. 500 years later her sainthood was declared, officially.

What inspiration are you in need of? Who has gone before you, showing you the way? Ki to Happiness is inspired by all the saints, prophets and mystics.

As we continue staying home and staying healthy, we all have an opportunity to reflect on the many challenges in our world. I was raised in St. Louis. There was a lot of racial and cultural diversity. I was able to ride the metropolitan bus as a youngster, surrounded by people of all walks of life. I paid for my ride like they did. I got off at my right stop.

Later, when we moved into a small village, I was alarmed at the homogeneity of it. I became aware that I was colorblind and that my eyes now were experiencing a monochromatic world. Whenever I would encounter someone representing a different race, or different culture, I would nod to them like we used to on the bus.

What was your early experience of diversity? Can you open up to others who represent difference? Ki to Happiness sees the common thread uniting us all.

As we come to the end of our states mandate to stay home and stay healthy, I start to reflect on other great challenges in my life. I’m aware that times in which I have had to stay back, be in solitude, keep my own counsel, have resulted in tremendous strength in my confidence to survive.

Thriving often comes later, once the healing has become integrated and the crisis has passed. Making use of the many super powers that remain gives value to the experience.

What superpowers have you developed? How can you best use them to serve? Ki to Happiness values each experience.

As we continue staying home and staying healthy a while longer, there are signs of progress. Retail stores are beginning to have lights on inside. Deliveries of new inventories are arriving. Soon some will be stocking the shelves. Signs are being posted in accordance with our state’s guidelines.

In photographing and posting one of the signs, doing so as an act of encouragement, the wording was immediately challenged. Disputes over corrections have emerged.

Do you see signs of progress? Can you stay balanced as you interact with others who would like to criticize? Ki to Happiness sees the glass and its contents.. not half full, not half empty. Half a glass.

Today marks another personal anniversary. My husband and I married socially on this day 18 years ago here in Seattle, Washington. Last month I blogged about the accidental wedding ceremony we had in Bali. The ceremony on May 26, 2002 was not an accident.

We consciously chose to enter into an agreement publicly “for as long as possible “. This conclusory statement of our vows brought tremendous laughter from our friends and families who had gathered. With the help and support of many, it is still possible.

How are your commitments holding up during this planetary situation? What assistance has made that possible? Ki to Happiness thanks our entire community for somehow continuing with us.

Wishing you all a happy and safe Memorial Day. It will be like no other. As we stay home and stay healthy, we may elect to create a small altar, in tribute to those who have fallen while serving. Especially, as we may be unable to safely go to the cemetery to put flowers and pay our respects.

In Bali, we have learned to also assemble on an altar favorite foods, drinks and objects that were desired by the one who has left us. In doing so, we are able to express our gratitude, and our remembrance, even if we are at a great distance.

Ki to Happiness honors all who’ve made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of service as Lightworkers and Peacekeepers.

Along the way, staying home and healthy this spring may have used up your resources, your patience, and your ability to choose from your highest guidance. Circumstances may tempt wrong actions.

In recognizing one’s limitations, and being willing to own up to one’s errors, strategies can be put in place to safeguard repeated errors. Making it right, forgiving oneself, and growing from the experience means changing one’s behavior to avoid repeated lessons.

What limitations have you become aware of? What errors have you made? Ki to Happiness humbly acknowledges human limitations, and corrects errors, forgiving and evolving.

Wishing you all a happy Memorial Day weekend. As we stay home and stay healthy a while longer, this will be one to remember. Generally considered the threshold into summer activities, gatherings outdoors, and festive times, this year will be on a much smaller scale.

Nationally, this is a day of remembrance of those who have fallen while serving in the military. Many have likened this pandemic to a global war. Those who have fallen, may be among those we memorialize this weekend. Perhaps then will be celebrating those who have survived later when it’s Veterans Day.

Who will you memorialize this weekend? How best can we uphold the memory of those who have fallen? Ki to Happiness re-members us all to The One.

Today, we have our last new moon during our stay home and stay healthy time. This is a great opportunity for us to set clear intention is for how it is we would like to participate in the re-opening, safely and sanely.

During our time of dealing with this global circumstance, much personal information has come forward. Finishing up projects that we have started, so we can set the stage for the shift that’s coming is advised.

What project can you finish today? How would you like to manifest that which has been valuable from this unusual time as we move forward into the next lunar cycle?Ki to Happiness finishes what she started.
