Every now and then karma comes back and makes me feel great.
Karma refers to the spiritual principle of cause and effect where intent and actions of an individual (cause) influence the future of that individual (effect). Sometimes we hope karma comes back and kicks butt to the meanies of the world. Other times we hope that because we’ve been good or loving that we can win the lottery.
Sometimes something I’ve blogged circles around and shines sunshine back in my face. Last December my Sunday Evening Art Gallery Blog showcased Collin van der Sluijs , a muralist painter from the Netherlands. A few months later there was a comment from the website Life in Maastricht who asked if they could use info from my blog to showcase Collin, as he was from Maastricht too. Their website has been part of the Netherlands social media communities since June 2015, covering news and stories about one of the most beautiful cities in the Netherlands. Of course I said yes.
They later stated, “…contacted Collin and he’s happy to participate, thank you for your post, otherwise I wouldn’t have found him.”
So imagine. I got to learn about a town named Maastricht in a country half way around the world, and helped their website find and highlight a homeboy. To me, that’s karma.
Check out their great website — https://lifeinmaastricht.com/ — and share the magic!
THAT’s what blogging’s all about.
Thank you 🙂

Oh you do! To me that’s the point of blogging — opening up someone else’s mind. I’m following you and I hope others do too!

You never know who you will touch or help along the journey when you write a blog. I try to keep that in mind when I write. I hope my posts are informative and encouraging to all who read them 🙂

Yes it is. We started our website only recently, April 4, to get away from the hectic overwhelming social media sources as a primary source of information. Because there is too much in there, we miss out on important or interesting things, and people. And artists. Even though I did take a picture of his mural art in Maastricht a couple of months ago, or his name! But there wasn’t a connection made until I stumbled upon your blog. That’s how this thing works! It speaks to us when the time or situation is right. So, thank you once again!
