Karma in action...

An amazing and powerful thing happened to me recently. I wrecked my car while avoiding a collision with a van. The actual wreck itself wasn't amazing and powerful (although my landing would garner much envy among driving game enthusiast, and likely a huge score on Need for Speed), it was moreso the events that followed. Heres what happened... 

On a rainy night a van was coming into my lane, oblivious to my presence. Instead of hitting the van, I swerved & hit a curb. At first I thought she just kept driving, but it turns out she went to the next intersection & came back to see if I was OK, and to exchange contact info, etc. 
Come to find out, neither insurance policy provides coverage for 'non-contact' damages. She calls me and tells me to give her my repair totals and says, "even if it takes a few months, I will re-imburse you." (not split, or help mind you...REIMBURSE. How nice of her). 

I begin to assess my budget when the phone rings. She is calling back to inform me that she spoke to her insurance agency and explained that it was due to MY 'quick thinking and driving skills' that there was no collision. As a result, since my damages were caused by my attempts to avoid damaging both vehicles, they will cover the costs FULLY and I will be hearing from an agent soon. BEEP...call waiting! The agent explains the process and gives me all the info needed. The result of this is that I am getting the work done at NO cost to me, an am receiving a check for $52 more than I spent (due to a tire warranty I had). 

Notice the portions of the above story that are in red. These are all things that this woman simply didn't have to do! This signifies tangible evidence that 'karma' exists. I received (and fully deserve, quite frankly!) this series of 'silver linings' because I started consciously making choices that foster good and positive energy in my life! 
Its so simple...you want good friends? BE a good friend. You want good things to happen for you? MAKE good things happen for others. Want to have an extraordinary life?...BE an Extraordinary Person! (I know this sounds like a motivational seminar, but hey, I have just as good a testimonial about my Ionic Breeze, too! Besides, if my words pushes anyone into improving their quality of life, whats wrong with that?)

Jesus was an alien!!!?

Crop circles, the pyramids, Stonehenge: all of these things seemingly created by much more advanced technologies than humans at that time could have possibly had. Religious texts of all kind refer to ‘Gods’ from above. Ancient civilizations the world over have representations of ‘heavenly’ beings in their architecture and artwork. Each one expressed within the context of the people’s cognitive understanding of the World they lived in at the time.  Today, stories of UFO sightings and alien abductions are told everywhere on the planet. There has even been recent archaeological evidence of ‘ancient astronauts’ visiting early humans. Considering all these things, it’s clear that throughout time (according to our current understanding of how time is measured) this planet has been visited by some sort of ‘supreme’ being from above.  Perhaps these ‘visitors’ weren’t really alien beings at all, but just HUMANS! Humans who have evolved into technologically advanced, space dwelling, tim...

Great Expectations!

ex⋅pect     [ ik- spekt ] –verb (used with object) 1. to look forward to; regard as likely to happen; anticipate the occurrence or the coming of: I expect to read it. I expect him later. She expects that they will come. Based on this definition, an expectations is, in essence, merely a form of hope..or trust. Trust that what has been created by intention will occur. So...is it ever healthy, or appropriate, for us to set expectations or are we setting ourselves up for disappointment every time? The answer is, of course, it depends. Expectations can be a limiting, destructive tool of the ego, but can also be a healthy form of hope and expression of trust in our relationships. There are not only destructive and healthy expectations, but destructive and healthy behaviors associated with them. There are two types of expectations to consider: The first type is the set of expectations we place on ourselves & others based solely on our own perception of how  we think things sh...

The Journey has begun...

I am beginning to see how the seeds of integrity, accountability, and honor I have been planting in my life this past year are beginning to bear fruit...when I chose to create an extraordinary life for myself by simply being extraordinary, things just started happening for me. I enjoy the work I do & have some awesome new friends who...get ready for this...have standards!!!! More & more I am finding that the people who cross my path either live their lives with integrity & honor...or they don't. Those that do almost naturally become part of my fiber & those that don't quickly realize they are in over their heads... :)
