Month: April 2025

After a thorough spring cleaning, I put some unwanted pillows on the curb for free. Neighbors driving by on their way to get their groceries took them all away before the rain returned. Having done so, I turned my attention to our urban garden, weeded and planted seeds.

Like every breath we take, as we let go of things that are unwanted, unneeded, or spent there’s room for new inspiration and freshness. As this mercury retrograde comes to conclusion tomorrow, we are ready to move forward without restriction. Rain gently blessed our efforts this morning, watering the seeds of our intention.

What are you ready to let go of? What seeds would you like to plant in place of what you release? Ki to Happiness lets go of all the weeds and replaces them with marigolds and 4 o’clocks.

My schedule wobbled around with emergency client needs, important phone calls and building inspection trading places. Without controlling any of it, all occurred in perfect timing. This deepens my faith and rewards my surrendering to the Higher Power. 

 At the end of the day, I celebrated with our burrito date and a phone call with a good friend. Sleep came gently to restore my energy field. I awaken with renewed commitment to all that has gotten me Here Now.

What deepens your faith? Can you surrender to Divine timing? Ki to Happiness sees Divine Intervention at work with perfect timing.

Today’s date indicates a day of manifestation, concluding the recent solar eclipse energy. It’s important to see past the stressors that have challenged us and recognize the growth that has occurred in facing those issues so that we may clearly manifest what we intend. The spiritual practice of gratitude helps this process.

Instead of focusing on the stressors or retelling the stories about them, focusing on progress without pushing one’s agenda is advised. Staying grounded and grateful attracts more to be thankful for as we count our many blessings. For instance, I’m grateful that I know this, for yoga stabilizing this awareness and for this opportunity to “walk my talk”.

What progress have you made lately with your issues? What is the best outcome you intend to manifest from that progress? Ki to Happiness is grateful for the baby steps toward healing, harmony and the Higher Power.

I made a poor choice yesterday. I received a phone call that an important meeting needs to be delayed without a specific time to reschedule. Then I tracked my reactive frustration and disappointment into challenging computer efforts with the result of further frustration and delay.

The rest of my responsibilities of the day insisted that I contain those issues to stop tracking that negativity farther.  Today I remember “we all step in it”, the stinky doo doo of life’s challenges. With that awareness, my more graceful choice would be to clean up my messy reaction before taking another step.

What have you “stepped in” lately? How gracefully can you clean it up to avoid making more of a mess? Ki to Happiness cleans up her messes.

One of our students yesterday reported great healing from our work. It inspires me to keep going. These practices and efforts do not result in instant gratification but slow steady progress.

Listening to guidance does not result in a direct path to perfect happiness, health or holiness. The path is long and winding, zigzagging, and a marathon throughout the lifespan. Each bit of progress is a victory, resulting in further inspiration to keep going, keep growing, keep listening, keep swimming.

What inspires you? How capable are you of delayed gratification? Ki to Happiness is inspired by your progress.

Welcome to April. This new month brings with it astrological energy as described previously with Neptune now in Aries. As I reflect on the last 14 years of Neptune in Pisces, I’m aware of deep revisions to some of my most cherished beliefs, no fooling.

Being a lifetime learner, I’ve gotten my report card from the Universe with high marks. I’m encouraged to continue with my spiritual practices as they have sustained me through many great lessons. Perhaps if I have truly learned, these lessons will not have to be repeated.

Are you fooling around this April Fool’s Day?  What beliefs have you revised in the last 14 years? Ki to Happiness releases past foolishness and embraces the lessons’ blessings.
