Karma is a topic that has me curious. We are led to believe "do unto others as we want done unto us" and that "what comes around goes around".
In my spiritual journey, I have followed one principle first. "give it all up to get it all back".
To summarize some of what we have given........
We have helped friends starting businesses, taken friends (one recovering from cancer) on hiking trips to Kuaii and Arizona. We helped finish a perilous basement reno attempt after the jerk husband drained the bank account and left our friend with two kids destitiute.We helped find a part time job for a friend who left a depressing desk job to follow her dream of being a writer. We gave a friend her first 1000 copies of her childrens book about her son's fight with luekemia, and donated them to schools, hospitals, and doctors offices around the province.
We helped a friend get beds for her kids after she separated, and provided her with support while she nursed her cancer stricken mother at home until she passed. We opened our home for 6 months to an abused client and her young friend. We found the young girl a car, and lent them enough gym equipment to start a small gym from home. We have found a home for another friend with (another abusive husband) for her three girls and her to have for a while. She introduced us to the girls as "the christmas angel". We gave our spare vehicle to a friend, after she was rear-ended helping us move. Her car was a write off and her ex kept the insurance payout. This is only a partial list.......What we give up is help and emotional support, and an open door policy on our home.
