Month: March 2025

Happy Women’s Day to all the adult females in the world. All are energetically sisters whether we know it or not. From our first breath, women have done their best to care for us.

In my world, the day has always been a day of celebrating my twin girlfriends birthday. When women’s day became an international phenomenon, it seemed a gift to them for all they’ve done to champion women as they’ve broken the glass ceiling in corporate America and the military for others to follow. So here’s a shout out to all girlfriends, daughters, sisters, mothers, aunts, grandmothers who comfort, nurture, and serve, the One in All.

What women in your life would you like to celebrate? How can you best show your appreciation for all they’ve done for you? Ki to Happiness cherishes the women in the world and wishes you all a great day.

I started reading a new book. Immediately, I had the sense that it was the right read for me at this time. It brought together several dots I have been wanting to connect.

I had other plans, but listened to Guidance. The reward was immediate. We will bathe the cats another time, plant the flowers soon, and get supplies next, with the right read infusing those activities with dots connected.

Can you listen to Guidance when it tells you to change plans? Can you also listen when It says to honor your commitments? Ki to Happiness listens to Guidance, honors commitments and changes plans when not inconveniencing others.

For the next 40 days, much of the world observes Lent as others observe Ramadan. This coincidence means many peoples are fasting from usual habits in order to purify for spiritual purposes. Christian, Catholics, Muslims and Sufis are all united in these ways, giving a common bond toward renewal.

As some give up eating candy, drinking alcohol or smoking cigarettes, others abstain from eating during the daylight hours. All are welcome to join in releasing habits that no longer serve. I will give up each conscious fear.

What are you willing to give up in order for spiritual renewal? What habits would you like to break? Ki to Happiness gives up fear in order to deepen into the safety of the One in All.

In the world of synchronicities, we are shown that we are heading in the right direction. As signs of Divine Intervention, interpreting the message gives us encouragement to keep going on our path. When one of my clients shared her history of being from the same midwestern towns, I paid attention.

After many months of regular sessions and great progress, her need arose to revisit one of those towns. I’d mentioned that my mother had a guest room potentially for her lodging and we all set up a conference call to have them meet to see if it could be a good fit. As all worked out well, our next session likely will occur at a distance with her in the guest room as I remain here, in Seattle. 

What synchronicities have you been experiencing? How do you interpret those signs? Ki to Happiness follows the path Divine Guidance illuminates.

Today’s date of March 4 is also a command when spelled differently. I have enjoyed turning it into my own personal holiday. I celebrate courage and bravery today as I take action following Higher Guidance in the direction of those things that have been daunting, difficult or scary for me.

I am marching forth with new additions to my many lifestyle changes. In time, they may become new habits. I build upon my past successes of previously marching forth on 3/4 and celebrate my journey.

What does your Higher Self want you to march forth toward? What small steps can you take today? Ki to Happiness marches forth toward Supreme Happiness, robust health and miraculous healing.

One of our students returned yesterday after six months in her homeland of the Middle East instead of six weeks as planned. The joy at our reunion overflowed into both classes as she offered gifts and treats which everyone enjoyed. We are relieved that she was able to extract herself from the conflicts abroad and avoided the treacherous earthquakes in Turkey as well as the many hindrances that extended her trip.

Her participation in our yoga classes assist her as she fasts during this holy month of Ramadan. She returns with minimal resources, so we have offered her an exchange program until she gets back on her feet again in this expensive city. New and old students whether Christian, Jewish, Hindu, Muslim, earth based spiritualists, atheists, or Buddhists all greeted her in her traditional hijab with peaceful equanimity as we practiced the unifying path of Hatha Yoga.

How committed are you to peace? What practices support you? Ki to Happiness unifies within to find peace and extends that to all with Hatha Yoga Center and our practices.

After teaching two well attended classes and conducting a private session in my nook, I rested. I got up, but felt low energy and didn’t want to make dinner. I pulled out some tempeh for myself, already baked from last week, and nibbled on it as I saw the taco shells on the kitchen shelf.

Soon I was in a flurry of taco preparations, which led to also making artichokes with garlic ghee, cilantro cornbread, roasted tzatziki potatoes, and tofu curry. Bob enjoyed his vegan tacos among the smorgasbord of options. One small nibble of tempeh fueled me with enough inspiration to use what we had on hand and prepare to feast all week.

What do you have on hand? What inspires you to assemble it into new and different creations? Ki to Happiness starts with one bite, and ends up with a feast.

As we enter the month of March, we start to leave behind our winter coats. Clearing out the debris of the cold dark months, we begin again, anew. Discarding no longer useful items, reorganizing what remains, sweeping clean our spaces, we welcome the fresh energy available to us now.

These simple rituals connect us to nature. Opening the windows, we hear the bird songs. With lighter jackets, we march first into our future, having benefitted form our months of introspection and hibernation.

How will you welcome this new month? What simple rituals connect you to nature? Ki to Happiness marches into the future, grateful for all that has happened, bringing us to the present.
