Do you believe in karma? I believe in karma. Always have. No hesitation. No existential debate. I don’t need to see the cosmic spreadsheet to know somebody is keeping receipts. What we put out into the universe comes back. Sometimes gently.Sometimes loudly.Sometimes with the subtlety of a brick […]
Sometimes moving on feels less like healingand more like drinking something you really, really don’t want to drink. When you’ve been wronged,there are bitters. A strong aftertaste.A little bitterness on the tongue.A memory that keeps reminding you: Oh yes. That happened. And then there is the perfectly human […]
