As kids, we all learned on the playground to take our losses with good sportsmanship. Congratulating the victor, learning what we need to so that in the future we may win at another time, all are part of our American way.

Sore losers demonstrate their insecurity. A lack of grace to concede and walk away. And sometimes attempts to cheat, lie, and steal the victory. “Poor sport.” No one wants to be called that. Especially at this time as businesses are slowly re-opening, and greater concerns regarding the health of the nation are upon us.

Who showed you how to take your losses?How graceful are you regardless of the outcome of the game? Ki to Happiness is a good sport.

After flying above our great nation yesterday, I’ve returned to my home in Seattle. The skies were crowded, and tense. Everyone followed the restrictions silently. Despite several delays, I made my tight connection and landed on time.

Patiently praying for peace upon our land, I await with you the results of the election. Having done all I can do on that level, I serenely choose to except what I cannot change. My practices have been the same throughout many different administrations. They will continue no matter the result.

What will continue for you regardless of the outcome of this election? Will you join me in praying for peace as our patience is tested? Ki to Happiness practices peace.

The day has finally arrived for us to choose again. Exercising our right to vote is a civic activity and duty. Whether we have mailed in our vote early, or will be standing in a very long line today, I appreciate each effort to express our choice correctly.

While I lived abroad and I was unable to vote, I had a keen appreciation for this important process I was missing. I’m happy to be an American woman. I voted already. And now I take to the skies to fly back to my home in the Pacific Northwest to continue slowly reopening the Hatha Yoga Center.

Have you voted already? What do you need so that you can vote? Ki to Happiness votes for peace, love and light.

The tension of the full moon begins to subside on this All Souls Day. Many souls have left the earth during the past year. May “the Grace that brought them safe in their lives lead them Home.”

“Through many dangers, toils and snares” they have gone. We who remain on the Earth continue through them still. Grace will lead us on and on. Through this day, the election, the pandemic, the caste conflicts, the slow reopening of businesses. Amazing!

What souls have left for Home in your world? When’s the last time you looked at the lyrics from the song Amazing Grace? Ki to Happiness sings it now for us all.

Halloween passes and reveals its true nature today. This day dawns with an invitation to celebrate all of those who have gone before us, miraculously displaying their sanctity. While they are no longer physically present on the planet, their energy which was never created also was never destroyed. It exists to help, guide and protect us.

I have my favorites. I am blessed to have been informed of many from all the different paths. At this time of tremendous challenge, I especially appreciate the assistance from Beyond in order to navigate this present world.

Have you asked for help from Beyond? Can you acknowledge all such Helpers today? Ki to Happiness is ever grateful.

Happy Halloween on this full moon in Scorpio. Not since 1944 have we had this occurrence. Unconscious energies are expressing themselves fully today.

Election tension, the rise of Covid cases and slow reopening of businesses continues. Yoga helps me stay safe and sane at this time of great upheaval.

How are you doing in this environment?What helps you stay safe and sane? Ki to Happiness balances her energy with yoga.

In the spectacular autumn colors, we took a ride yesterday. Teddy Roosevelt called Grandview Drive the most spectacular in the US. Soaking in the beauty of nature uplifted us all. Then Nature called me in another way.

We wanted a cookie. Stopping for a Halloween treat, I found a restroom. Perfect timing, perfect location. The simple pleasure of getting needs met is what I’m highlighting here. The treat was also delicious.

Are you getting your needs met? How about your wants? Ki to Happiness needs little and wants to express gratitude for simple pleasures.

Grocery shopping yesterday, our masks were in place. Unable to hear clearly, and without the ability to read lips, communication was challenged. Acknowledging this, we realized the issue is not personal.

Viewing some news, another kind of mask was removed yesterday. Anonymous author of the New York Times opinion page article revealed his identity. Good to have that mystery solved.

What mask needs to be worn? Is there one for you to remove? Ki to Happiness communicates nonmysteriously with or without a mask.

My traveling has brought me safely to my parent’s home. It’s wonderful to be here as the trees are ablaze in their autumnal hues. Dad sang a little of his favorite song, ‘tis autumn. It’s as if time has stood still out here, with nature the primary clock.

There are no businesses to be slowly re-opening out here, or re-closing. No broken windows from vandals. No protests on the road. Instead, there is the sunrising, trees glowing golden, and birdsongs beginning to fill the air.

Have you been spending enough time in nature? Are you maintaining your balance? Ki to Happiness is home free.

The writing class I have been attending finished last night. One by one all of the students received comments on their final homework. Each one of us benefited from the others’ efforts. Our masterful teacher enhanced the best of each of us with firm constructive criticism.

The improvements were tremendous. I danced a little joyful dance at the successful completion. Now the energy that was required to enroll, participate, to follow through to the end is available. It will go with me into my next efforts.

Do you complete what you start? Have you felt that lift of energy catapulting you forward? Ki to Happiness finishes what she starts.
