Doing Good for Karma's Sake ?

Recently I was talking with my husband about "Karma being either a bitch or a lady and it all depending on us.".   May sound funny but if you think of it , it's so true.  
When we do something good for another are we doing so because of Karma or "What comes around goes around", or because it's just the correct thing to do ?  I find myself doing it for all of the above at different times.  
Now, does this mean we won't reap what we sow or will we ?  If we do something good / nice/helpful just so we get good brownie points with Karma, God, Goddess will that be our award in itself ?   Hmmmm, makes one think.
If we do something to truely help another for no other reason than it's the right thing to do and because they are our fellow human beings.  They are our brothers and sisters of humanity and helping each other is the right thing to do.
OK, now I'm stepping off my soap box and I want to hear your opinions.

The Winning Numbers....

Last nights winning Mega Millions numbers have 4 of the same numbers that was a re-occuring theme in the TV series "Lost".  Life & Art interact once again.  Is it a bit of magick, perhaps.  If so, I want some of that type of magick to work for my husband & I.

There may be some who think that is wrong, but I think / believe it's OK.  The way I look at it is this :  When my husband & I win the lotto {win big too} we will of course take care of our furture and that of our sons, but also will be able to help {hands-up} those in need ; both human and 4 legged.  Spread the wealth on our own terms.

Whoever the 2 very fortunate winners are I wish them the very best and hope they get wise financial advise.

What say each of you ; is it magickal or is it luck ??

2011 ---- Making of a Better Year

2011 --- It has all the making of a better year.  Why do I say that ?  Well because last year wasn't always such a good year for many of us.  Too many people lost their jobs, homes, income, and savings.  Many of us had health and physical issues ; some of them major.

I read recently that 1-1-'11 is a good omen.  I'm all for good or positive omens.  Isn't it all in our belief system ?  I think so.  If we believe something then we can achieve it , and I believe this new year, 2011 is a better year for myself and my family !

Now going about making it so is a more practical question.  Well, if I'm going to believe in something that means placing my spiritual faith in the belief ; therefore I choose to believe things will be better.  On the practical side I will make changes in my diet, exercise, and health habbits to be healthier.  Same with helping my husband.  Yoga and Reiki call to me.  With Yoga, I will have to go slowly.   With money and wealth I will make cut-backs on spending and looking for more sales & resale shops for needed hoem items.  Look for deals { 1/2 price and such} for vacation and other things that encourage rest & relaxation.  Eating at home more and date night twice a month. 

I will give-back to my community and help those who need & desire a hand-up instead of a hand-out.  Personally, I was taught and believe these are 2 separate things.  Hand-up is teaching someone to fish so he/she can eat for a lifetime ; where as hand-out is giving someone a fish so they can eat a meal only and come back for more hand-outs daily.  That is dependance  , much like an drug or alcohole addict.

So, what say you ?  Will 2011 be a better year for you and your loved ones or just the smae old thing ?  The choice is yours...each of you !

New Years / 2011 Blessings.
