Fog shrouds the pumpkins on this hallowed dawn. This Halloween starts with eerie perfection. By trick or treat, all will have aligned with “fall back “ tonight.

In between, Saturday’s classes will make good use of the energy. Choosing to identify with the light in the Jack o’ Lantern, not the rotting carved squash, we shift attention in a way that will serve us through the long dark season ahead. Maybe the extra hour of slumber will help process any of the too muchness of this holiday.

How will you use the energy of the day? What will prepare you best for the days ahead.? Ki to Happiness will let the Light shine through this and every holiday.

I’m happy to share that my return trip was uneventful. On-time departure after successfully returning my rental car with my carry-on bag stuffed but zipped, I settled in to watch movies on the fight. Taxiing home required conscious breathing as the driver had one foot on the gas and the other on the break, making it a go, slow, go through the raining traffic.

Once home, I greeted my husband and our cats. I happily unpacked and let the cats smell all my travel smells. Bob gave me the grace to rest as my body called me into slumber.

Do you know the pleasure of uneventful travel? Do others allow rest when needed? Ki to Happiness is grateful for the peaceful homecoming.

I am confirmed, checked in, packed, and all but zipped. As this trip concludes, soon I will be home again. I travel with memories and Mercies from all that has occurred.

Overall, I’ve revisited my choices and self validated them to continue with the Yoga Lifestyle of my interpretation. Early bed and early rising with practices first before interacting keeps me tethered to my primary purpose. Being the loving peace that we all are serves the One wherever I call home.

What is your primary purpose? Can you stay aligned with that even when you travel? Ki to Happiness “puts her oxygen mask on first” with Yoga practices.

I entered St. Louis from a more northerly route following GPS directions. In doing so, I was unable to see The Arch, so I may have to today. Its 61st birthday is being celebrated with lots of festivities at the Riverfront.

Grandpa picked me up so I could see above the taller heads when the capstone was helicoptered into place. It has always been a source of civic pride as it honors the great push westward in our country, across the wide Mississippi. It has welcomed me each reunion with the land of my people and our origins.

What welcomes you to your origins? How can you honor your beginnings? Ki to Happiness celebrates her humble start with gratitude for every lesson and blessing along the way to here, now.



As I prepare to leave from this visit, I take with me the joys of simple normal routine activities. Mom has made a remarkable comeback from her medical processes and is ALIVE, grateful and happy. I’ve been here with her long enough to witness the depth of her recovery on all levels.

My next trip will be in the Spring with no guarantee. I proceed in faith, believing that all is well and will be well. I leave her in the hands of the God of her understanding, her communities, and her assistants, now including her personal trainer, who sometimes conducts her chair yoga class.

How strong is your faith? Are you willing to leave others in the hands of their Guidance? Ki to Happiness departs from here, following her own Guidance, as revealed in Yoga practices on and off a mat or chair.

Today’s astrology continues to have retrograde energy, prompting some to reach into their past. Doing so is for the purpose of extracting our greater sense of worth. It is not for the purpose of living in the past, and specifically it is not for the purpose of calling one’s ex.

This phenomenon occurs as I am on the land of part of my history. Free from any desire regarding the past, I ground more completely in my worth. Staying on the Yoga Path keeps me Higher centered, identifying with my Eternal Spirit, evolving through this Physical temporal experience.

What part of your past are you revisiting? Of what value are those lessons? Ki to Happiness revisits lessons as they become blessings. 

Tonight‘s full moon will illuminate many issues from the past. We have five different planets and one asteroid retrograde. That gives a chance to rewrite review and redo.

This is especially significant as we consider our worth. Doing so we have a chance to become free from others defining it. Today to consider what you truly value and how you are manifesting it in your world will benefit your future as well as those you interact with.

What do you value? Who values you? Ki to Happiness values peace and those who share that value with her.

Mom and I went out for lunch yesterday with our two good girlfriends. Over our combined 80 years of friendship, we have done this several times. Remarkable to witness our developing and deepening relationships at this point.

Conversations superficial and deep interwove as our servers tended to us. We parted ways, knowing that there is no guarantee that the four of us will ever share a table again. We made sure we expressed our love and gratitude for these precious times to one another and the One who brings us together.

How important are your friends? When’s the last time you let them know? Ki to Happiness cherishes friends as the flowers in Life’s Garden.



We were included in the Dream Center celebration of their year’s accomplishments. 80 staff members and hundreds of volunteers have served thousands of families and kids through this charitable organization. Shelter, food, clothing, education, career counseling, and mentorship have improved the lives of the givers and receivers through their many programs.

All who gathered were asked to consider how best to contribute. There is an upcoming Christmas fundraiser with booths for venders, so I contacted my friend who may participate, raising money for both. It also inspires my generous heart for charitable programs and contributions I may facilitate in the future.

What’s stimulates your dreaming? What do you need in order to offer to others in greater need what may fill both your needs? Ki to Happiness dreams on of a peaceful world with people helping people helping people…

As I departed the land of my alma mater, I saw campus town receding in my rearview mirror. The students were all crossing streets at the change of classes, jaywalking full speed into their future. I remember when that was me.

The house I proudly purchased has fallen into ruin. Friends have all but moved on as have I long ago. And yet, from my rear view, I cherish my dozen years there so long ago.

What do you cherish as you look back? How will that help you continue forward? Ki to Happiness cherishes her foundation from the past as it built a structure with which to move forward.
