Month: January 2023

Hello dear readers. I’m reaching out to let you know that at 7:32 this morning my Facebook account was been suspended. That means that these blogs will no longer be shared to Facebook until they reinstate my account. It also means that I cannot live stream my classes on my device.

I will continue to live stream my classes on another device using another account. I submitted all information necessary to reinstate my account. I am to wait for 24 hours or more… While I breathe.

What’s your relationship with Facebook? Have you been suspended before? Ki to Happiness breathes and keeps up Hatha Yoga practices with or without Facebook.

Each breath enters as a gift. It empowers us to grow and evolve. Each exhalation allows us to offer something to the world of our growth and evolution until our last.

At times of loss or sudden change, there’s a tendency to hold the breath as if that would help. It doesn’t. Yoga teaches us to keep breathing so we can stay present to the guidance which continues to grow and evolve us into the love we already always have been so we can contribute that to the changing circumstances.

How is your breath? Can you take a slow deep breath right now? Ki to Happiness breathes through change.

Now that my birthday has passed, I see what has been left unattended. There are many things that I can do nothing about. I am able to take stock of my freezer and do my laundry, however.

In having the courage to change the things I can, I prepare for whatever lies ahead. I am grateful to have grown in wisdom to accept my limitations to change things beyond my wheelhouse. With serenity fortified, my freezer stocked full of vegan meals, and laundry drying I start my week.

What will fortify your serenity?Is there something left unattended that needs to be done? Ki to Happiness wait serenely with her freezer reorganized and clothes on the line.

One of my morning practices includes the Sufi meditation called Dhikr. Practicing it daily, keeps this tool fresh so I can turn to it in a moment’s need. Anytime the outer reality is disappointing, it reminds us to look within.

Inside our hearts, we have a connection to the great One who Rumi says brought us here and will have to take us Home. The practice deepens our awareness within the heart so we may readily align with it’s true Home at will. There is no God but The One is it’s briefest translation.

Where you turn to when the outer reality disappoints? Can you look within your heart and find the connection to that which never disappoints? Ki to Happiness practices this way.

It’s great to be 62 and to have loved many all these years. I felt like all that I put out there came back to me yesterday. Balloons from mom and dad, cards from near and far, flowers from Bob and a dear girl friend, gifts from a client and former neighbor, packages and calls from old friends, and good news from my brother and assistant, as well as hundreds of FB wishes all avalanched onto me.

In my meditations I received visions of our son and his homies, and my dad’s right hand. The astral plane reached out toward me with energetic wishes. I share all that love with you now, in gratitude.

Can you imagine all the love you’ve been putting out returning to you? Could you withstand the love avalanche? Ki to Happiness stretches her heart wide open to receive.

62 used to be retirement age. I’m not tired so I can’t be re-tired. Instead, I am energized, peaceful, and committed to continue serving as an agent of the One who brought me here.

In preparation of honoring this birthday, I had a choice to take time off which held no appeal. I will work and contribute in the ways I was born to: conducting private sessions, practicing and teaching yoga, revising my manuscript. Birthday balloons, flowers, treats, and gifts, surround me, which I will share with my world.

Are you tired? Are you retired? Ki to Happiness never tires of connecting her free will to The One.

I was born in 1961 so this year of being 61 and I’ve thought of as platinum. Beyond the golden birthday of turning 27 since I was born in the 27th of January, I made up that it would be spectacular year.

Truly, I have witnessed many spectacles in the year. How I choose to see them is up to me. My practices encourage me to let miracles replace all of the spectacular grievances and so it is!

What grievances are you dealing with? Can you let miracles replace them? Ki to Happiness sees progress, healing and forgiveness where once there was hindrance, injury and loss.

One of our community members is facing relocation. Having just gone through it ourselves, I remember the process well. More than anything the desire is for the issue to be settled.

As my birthday arrives on Friday, friends and family have asked me what I’d like. Since we have settled here, I feel my desires have been met. I have what I want, and I want what I have.

What needs to be settled in your life? Can you celebrate what you have already settled? Ki to Happiness settles in to gratitude for all that has brought her present.

When we moved in here six months ago, the previous owners left behind a new toilet. It took up space in our storage area until yesterday. The new owners had property management arrange for a vendor to come out and install it, replacing the one that was damaged and broken.

Now that it is in place, the storage area is more functional and re-organized. Energetically, the shift concludes our transition to this location. We are evermore here.

What do you need to remove from storage? As you use what you have, can you feel the energetic shift? Ki to Happiness celebrates being here, now.

Our 30 year old has just returned from Mexico. He had a great time at his friend’s wedding, but picked up a belly bug. I got his DM informing us.

I’m sure he will be fine. In his reaching out I feel the love that connects us all. I send love to him in a way that overflows here, in case you need some permission to reach out.

When you need something, can you reach out or do you feel that you are a burden? Are you aware that expressing your need is another method of opening to love? Ki to Happiness loves those who reach out and reaches out to those who love.
