The full moon lingers after the eclipse has passed. All the energies that were stirred up in building towards the eclipse have now resolved themselves. We awaken in a new dawn, a new day, with renewed awe at the power of nature.

Locally we had wind gusting, tossing plants and thoughts about. Unsettled issues and feelings stirred old patterns. Having faced all that, a calm reordering of personal habits and care for the heart and its home is recommended.

 How do you feel today after the eclipse? Does it help you put into perspective the energies of the last couple of weeks? Ki to Happiness feels full of awe and renewed faith in Nature.

Tonight‘s lunar eclipse will finalize the energy that’s been brewing for the last couple of weeks. Much has been revealed which once had been obscured. In the light of the discoveries, new courses of action may be required.

It’s important to ground these energies before taking definite action. Yoga practice always helps to bring us back into our bodies and out of abstraction. As these energies settle down and we ground, the path forward will present itself.

What has been revealed to you in the last two weeks? How does that change your course of action? Ki to Happiness has faith that the path will appear as I walk on.

As we continue through eclipse season, there is support for hidden truth to be revealed. It can be expressed safely now. Doing so may ease the full moon on Saturday.

I practiced some truth telling yesterday with our studio manager. She pitched right in to help with an issue I have been dealing with privately. Together, we will be better able to serve the community.

What hidden truth has been revealing itself? Who can you tell it to? Ki to Happiness lets herself in on the truth and shares it consciously.

Today, HYC celebrates our founders’s birthday. Bob turns 78 and celebrates in the way that delights his spirit, mind and body. He will practice yoga, teach his class, and play golf.

The cats and I will delight together with him in his simple presence. No doubt the students will, too. He inspires us all

What delights you? Can you enjoy those simple pleasures today in honor of Bob Smith‘s birthday? Ki to Happiness celebrates Bob.

The sidewalk in front of our building became strewn with loose gravel from the parking strip daily until I covered it with mulch last year. The mulch got kicked around quite a bit, making a tripping hazard until I placed contained plants on the parking strip. I found a few flat stones to mark a path for our students and neighbors to go to the grocery store across the street. 

What I wanted were steppingstones, but I wasn’t sure how I could manage them on my e-bike. On my walk yesterday, I found three of them discarded on the side of our alley. Now they are in place, a gift from the Universe.

 What gift would you love to receive from the Universe? Can you let your desire be known and then detach from the outcome? Ki to Happiness grows in faith, one stepping stone at a time.

As I started making blueberry bars for Bob’s birthday, I used the hot oven to also make some gluten-free cornbread. Before I knew it, I had spontaneously prepared a full community offering for today.

I respect that Bob does not want to have a party. So we won’t call it that. And yet I know that those who attend may want to celebrate him softly anyway.

Do you allow yourself to be spontaneous? Can you let yourself follow inspiration? Ki to Happiness listens to Guidance and acts on It.

Bob‘s birthday is coming up next Tuesday. He is not easy to gift or fete. After our regular weekly burrito date, I was surprised that he allowed us to do a little shopping for him.

We found a few suitable items at TJ Maxx. Together with a couple of other small gifts and special foods, we will celebrate quietly. We already sang the birthday song to him yesterday during his class to start off the Virgo season.

Do you observe birthdays? How do you ritualize the celebration of another year? Ki to Happiness celebrates life daily and observes other’s special days in the way that they prefer.

In the sunny afternoon, I cleaned up a corner of the garden. I removed a large wooden box that no longer served its intended purpose and had become a breeding ground for insects. Hauling it to the trash, a neighbor offered a helping hand.

As he walked toward me, I could see his willingness to assist. Together we accomplished the task cheerfully. The resulting cleanliness and beauty will reward us both, as well as all who come this way.

Do you allow others to help you? Do you offer a helping hand to others? Ki to Happiness helps and receives help as giving and receiving are one.

My brother shared with me the good news that he’s been laid off. He feels really good about it, as he is ready this time. In the past, I felt the weight of it on my shoulders, feeling responsible to carry his financial load if he could not.

That energetic burden has been lifted off my shoulders as he has provided well enough for himself in advance of retirement that he may simply shift into that status. I asked him what he planned to do next. He said he wants to find a nearby yoga class and resume his practice.

Who‘s load do you help carry? What would you do if you were free from it? Ki to Happiness and her brother would both practice yoga.



In the aftermath of the huge storms in the Midwest, my mom lost her Wi-Fi and then her phone. She reached out for help in all the ways necessary. Her connectivity is restored, so she is safe in her rural home.

I got to hear the epic story of how it all occurred. As she shared the challenges, we had several belly laughs. Overall, I’m grateful for my role, for her persistence, and for all the others who came through for her.

How do you help someone who is far away? What helps you stay connected? Ki to Happiness stays in her lane, and stays connected in Spirit.
