Karma – Ever experienced it? That incredible feeling or absolutely pissed off feeling that occurs based on your previous actions. I have a cool GOOD karma story for you…

My Mom and I are sitting in Hugo’s Frog Bar in Chicago for dessert and martinis after a special dinner across the street at Le Colonial for French Vietnamese cuisine. We are celebrating! 2 years ago to the day my Mom informed me she had been diagnosed with breast cancer. What a blessing it is 2 years later we are able celebrate the moment together celebrating life with breast cancer in the past. So we did what anyone would do – we ordered the foot high carrot cake with cream cheese frosting and 2 martinis!

The couple is so touched by our gesture, they insist we come by their “shop” tomorrow. What shop might that be, I ask. The woman says, write this name down: “Charles Ifergan.” What? THIS is Charles Ifergan? I had to been to one of his many fancy salons in the city but lo and behold, here I am sharing carrot cake with the internationally known stylist himself! Charles and his wife insist we show up tomorrow and so, we did!
When is the last time you acted out of goodness and love without future expectation? What does that even look like for you? Perhaps it means surprising a friend with flowers for no reason, helping a stranger in need, spending time with a peer at work who needs help. No matter what it is, it must be done without expecting anything in return. I tell you what, there is no better feeling. Money cannot buy the feeling. Trust the opportunities are out there. You will know what to do 🙂
