“I know, I know. The idea of no Karma was a shocker to me too.

Peachbelle, thanks for coming here and posting your honest responses.

How did you find this blog? Do you read Heavenletters? Do I know you by a different name?

In terms of reading Heavenletters, always go by your heart.

However, your statement "God plainly said there is no karma." has me a bit confused...where has God said this? In the King James Bible, God clearly states that "whatever ye sow, ye shall reap" ... isn't that the entire basis of karma? Dear Gloria,

Right now, for the road trip, the driver has suggested that we take with us: "One bigun (frying pan) cos we'll be making 4 everybody and one littl'un 4 toasting spices and peanuts. "One big pot (main course), 1 medium (sauces and side dishes) and 1 small for something...nice in small quantities." I don't know what might be left, dear one.

Two peas in a "pot". As a child I watched my father cook his famous "SOS" and my mother burn her infamous canned corned beef and cabbage in the family pot. My brothers, sister and I learned to cook using that pot. As sixty odd years rolled by the family pot continued in service very well although blackend in parts and bent in others. Then came the time when my mother decided that each of her children should have something of hers. She called us together and told us to choose whatever we wanted. Since I was firstborn I had first choice. "Anything?" I asked as she pushed her box of fine jewelry toward me. "Yes" she smile benevolently. Notwithstanding platinum and precious gems I knew exactly what I would have. When I jumped up and dashed into the kitchen she was taken aback. But oh the long face when I returned with the family pot. "But we're still using that pot!" she cried out. "Yes, I know" said I smiling so happily. But this is what I'll have when the time comes." My brothers thought I was "off". My sister was a little jealous because she uses everything ALL UP and she knew that the pot still had/has at least another lifetime left in it. So she conceded that I made a good choice. She took the ruby ring with diamonds. And I have the pot of gold. Love, Light and Aloha! Oh Gloria!

I don't really have anything sensible to add here, just wanted to say that you made me smile and laugh ~ cos it was like looking at pictures of the pans in my own kitchen. I too use Le Creuset ~ and guess what ~ we have the same bright colours, but I've never thought of taking pictures of them, or connecting them with karma! Bless you ~ you are one fun lady to know! Love you! Mary :) Oh dearest Gloria!
