48 years ago today my mom married my stepdad. They eloped on a business trip. I gave her the gift of a monogram stamp, so she could seal her personal letters with her newness. My brother and I were living with my grandparents at the time. Little did any of us realize how much our lives were about to change.

48 years later, they still care for one another, and share their special bond of loving memories. I am truly so happy for them. I cherish the way my world expanded exponentially in our blending.

Are your folks alive? How long were they married? Ki to Happiness honors all who commit to love.

Welcome March! While we bask in the cleaned environs the Full Snow Moon encouraged, soon it will be Spring! The winter’s hibernation has brought potential for much reflection and rejuvenation.

With an outpouring of support, I’m relieved to report our sanctuary of the Hatha Yoga Center is fresh and whole again. So is my heart. I will cherish the last weeks of winter here, remaining in Phase 2, grateful for all of you and all the has transpired in the dark cold season.

How will you welcome March? What is the best use of the end of this winter? Ki to Happiness will march first…

Time marches on. In my post burglary trauma, it seems to be doing that without me. A homeless guy asked me yesterday as I was getting my newspaper what day it was. I told him I wasn’t sure anymore…

Our governor announced yesterday that we will remain in phase 2. As long as we do, we seem to be in a holding pattern in which time does not exist as it once did. I am motivated to use the time to express my love and gratitude. Thank you all for reading this. I love that you take a moment to read, and consider what will help you choose happiness. Anyway.

How is your sense of time? In this ongoing distortion, how can you best make use of the time? Ki to Happiness chooses to express love and gratitude.

This full moon is a wonderful time for cleansing. In it’s light we may see reflected back to us energies to release, thoughts to clean up, objects to recycle, etc. Habits may be streamlined and altered in alignment with Higher Guidance.

A couple of weeks ago when the moon was new, we cleansed for the new year of the Ox. So it may be easy! You may see clearly one or another area or issue that needs your specific focus. It’s always easier to keep clean that which has already been cleaned.

What awareness does this full moon bring to you? How can you work with these energies best? Ki to Happiness keeps cleaning up.

Right now three of my good friends in their 60s are facing serious medical diagnoses and interventions. I am honored to be on their lists of who to inform. I am willing to send prayers and energy when requested. I send my best wishes and loving support whether requested or not.

I have just turned 60, so am new to this decade in which this is normal. I knew it was coming. Yet there’s no way to truly prepare. As I continue to dig out of the recent robbery, I do so with a keen awareness of my true priorities. The stuff I’ve lost matters not at all in comparison with the love I have experienced, exchanging with my beloveds.

What are your true priorities? How much love are you open to exchanging? Ki to Happiness prioritizes loving exchanges.

As the days go by, I’m aware of so many helpers contributing to our healing. Opening up in vulnerability and asking for assistance is resulting in progress on many levels. Yoga practices provides a stable and consistent view of this process.

The detective came out and took the blood samples from where the burglars dripped evidence as they took my possessions. He says they remain in custody. My EIP replacement is on its way. Like my drivers license and new credit card, all will be delivered by St. Patty’s Day. Gifts have replaced the stolen gift cards and cash in the exact amount and size of currency.

What help do you need? Can you reach out in your vulnerability and ask? Ki to Happiness is humbled by so many helpers.

When I was a kid, I learned to play the guitar. My first stepdad taught me some basic chords. Day by Day was an easy tune and I could sing along with it. As the years roll on, occasionally I still pick up my guitar and find my way to its comforting sounds and the soothing lyrics of that song.

As the Hatha Yoga Center digs out of the repercussions of the recent break in, my internal DJ plays Day by Day. I’m companioned as I tend to my needs with the cops, landlord, bankers, driver’s license worker, and all the rest. “Oh dear Lord, Three things I pray-To see Thee more clearly, love Thee more dearly, follow Thee more nearly…Day by Day.”

What does your internal DJ play? Can you see the slow steady progress happening Day by Day in the most essential ways? Ki to Happiness hums it into manifestation.

With the help and generous contributions of several community members we are all releasing the trauma from the most recent robbery. I slept back in my room again, with cats in and out, like normal. They are healing, too.

The deepest healing is with our landlords. They will be replacing the broken doors. Instead of ignoring us or leaving us to pay for it ourselves, they are stepping up for the first time in our nine years here. I like how they refer to us, simply as “yoga“.

How do you release trauma? Can you celebrate every healing moment? Ki to Happiness does it with today’s yoga.

The cats are eating again. After a thorough smudging and several helpers contributing to securing the Hatha Yoga Center, I slept with the cats there.They have resumed playfulness. This is a great marker of their recovery.

I discovered after blogging yesterday that my wallet was also stolen. I have petitioned Saint Anthony for his assistance, saying “Tony, Tony, look around, something’s lost and can’t be found.” He has been a miraculous retriever for me in the past. Of course, I also followed up with filing another police report, as well as securing all my accounts.

Has Saint Anthony helped you? Are you able to find your playfulness? Ki to Happiness will.

Still shaking, I reach out to you to let you know how grateful I am that this cell phone and my computer both have been recovered. The cops have just left after returning these devices to me.

My husband and cats and I will be fine. Hatha Yoga Center has been broken into. Our entryway will need to be replaced. One person is in custody. Through “find my phone” on my old backup phone, they were able to track him down at a homeless settlement nearby.

Are you good in a crisis? How quickly can we all recover from our traumas? Ki to Happiness is better now already.
