    I find my life a lot calmer and happier when I choose to be helpful
    rather than guarded and worrying about who is going to screw me over. 

    Please bear with me sharing a little. I have been a court reporter
    for 25 years, beginning in the time when all reporters were unified
    to the same goal, customer service and producing the best product we
    could and helping each other do the same, through contracting where
    everyone tried to undercut everyone else by making deals and lowering
    prices so much so as to work for nearly nothing to get the large
    contracts, back to happily referring clients to other available
    reporters when I wasn't available to do the assignment so the client
    received service, and doing honest work for reasonable pay. 

    I guess my rambling point is that, in effect, karma does bite you in
    the butt if you are so busy watching it that you lose sight of the
    bigger picture, the future and the surrounding community. It's a
    definite give and take. I just believe in the giving (sharing of
    info) and I definitely don't focus on the taking (will someone knock
    off my stuff - with me, not likely!). I just enjoy the joy of
    creating and sharing and believe everyone's art has a place in
    someone's heart. 

    May be a little simple, but I sleep very well at night. 

:-)

Veronica
