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.

As we welcome the fresh new energy of this lunar new year, I adapt my yoga practices. Having swept away the bad luck of the past, the clean space invites good luck to fill the void. Gentle Hare posture and Cat replace Tiger.

While teaching, the fog and rain turned into huge snowflakes. A sense of peace replaced the deluge. Long absent students returned to join us now that the intensity of the tiger has passed.

What practices do you need to adjust? How can you best release the traumas and intensities of the past? Ki to Happiness walks in the snow or rain, practices Tiger or Hare, (always Cat) and deeply rests.

Today we welcome the lucky, fertile and friendly rabbit/ cat year. Setting intentions for a fuzzy and frisky year is auspicious on this winter’s day. Counting our blessings so they multiply is a good way to start.

My blessings include a miraculous beginning to the day as a long standing physical issue resolved itself in the night. Four years ago, I distended my right hip’s illiopsoas bursa. This morning I discovered my innate healing potential took care of it.

What blessings would you like to see multiplied? Can you take the time to express your gratitude for them today? Ki to Happiness is grateful for all that has occurred bringing me to the awareness of miracles everywhere.

Today is the last day of the year of the Tiger. We all know what happens if you catch a tiger by its tail. Instead of grabbing it and upsetting the beast, let’s use the energy today to conclude any of the epic dramas of the last year.

I propose we thank the Tiger for all of the challenges, recognizing that we have survived and grown in strength and perseverance. All cats, big, and little like tuna. I will offer big tuna to my cats as a symbolic gesture of appreciation for the Tiger in them, as well as a welcome for the Year of the Cat/Rabbit ahead.

What have you survived in the last year? How have you grown through your ordeals?Ki to Happiness recognizes growth comes through the opportunities challenges present.



When we moved here, our new landlord sent me an article from NewsBreak. Since that time, I noticed myself scrolling through its app with a negative result. So I removed the app from my phone and am fasting from it.

Instead of scrolling, I called a friend. I noticed the positive result of truly connecting with a real person. The news we shared of each other’s lives deepens our bonds.

How do you take your news? When you notice it’s having a negative effect on you, can you change your source? Ki to Happiness is well enough informed to choose real relating over doom scrolling.

Today, the planet mercury appears to move forward in its pattern. With it, communication, and transportation is more likely to also move forward. After the frustrations and challenges of the last three weeks, this is welcome.

Having made good use of the time for reflection, there is potential for great healing. Perhaps there can be a feeling of clearing and freshness. I have honored the shift with fresh dishes, whomping up vegan Saag as well as Mac and Cheez.

What would you like to say? Where do you wanna go? Ki to Happiness says thank you for the time to reflect as I go about my business.
