Hilary
I can never find good Blenko at flea markets or shops.
I always pay too much on EBAY and when I go to the Visitor Center they hve nothing I like
My Karma is bad. Do you hve suggestions.
Special stores in Huntington tri state area that might be good?
Something to change my Karma?
Nothing good happens to me. Also when you write about Valentine's day it makes me SAD
no one to give me Valentine card or candy.

Karma is a Sanskrit word meaning "action," though it's often used to refer to both an action and its results. Literature seems to reveal KARMA isn't luck or destiny - luck suggest randomness; destiny, a lack of choice.
Mylinda, a quote from Buddhist teacher Mahasi Sayadaw " We are at liberty to create fresh KARMA that leads toward either our progress or our downfall." Start fresh today, w/o negative thoughts. I doubt he (Sayadaw) was referring to shopping for glass - and it appears your negative feelings run strong.

May I suggest (1) Milton Flea Market - most every collector has a Milton Flea Market discovery to speak about (2) Milton Goodwill - (3) Glass Shops/ Antique stores on the main avenue in Milton. for glass shopping. For your other complaint - I would suggest volunteering, and becoming active in groups. Positive energy attracts positive energy!
The photo is of Ms B (Blenko) she is now 3.4 years old. B spent the first 17 months of her life being abused - was it KARMA that brought B into my life - and me into B's? SMALL PAWS RESCUE www.smallpawsrescue.org and other rescue groups need your help with the thousands of throw away fluffs.
My observations of life lead me to believe that people who are open and giving seem to have happy lives.

therefrom.

Ps - Regarding Glass hunting - knowledge is important - consider investing $50 into a BLENKO COLLECTORS SOCIETY
membership and learn about glass ...then when you run across that 'special item' you will immediately recognize it as valuable. Thank you for reading the Herald Dispatch Heart of Glass Blog.

Hillary:
Great comment for Mylinda. To reiterate what Hillary suggested, radiate positive energy and some will come your way. You are so lucky to be in Milton near so many opportunities to purchase glass and be around people who love BLENKO glass. If you join the Collector's Society, and approach everyone with a smile, you'll make friends for life. In a speech class in undergraduate school, we studied "background homophily." Loosely translated, this means "lover of same." People who love the same things usually make good friends (BLENKO Collectors folks).
Find people who love the same things you do and you will have people to send Valentines to. Send Valentines to a nursing home.
Here's to Karma! Oh, and Happy Valentine's Day.

Your definition of Karma is incorrect.
Check wiki
Definiton of Karma if difficult, but as I know it, the way Hilary has used Karma in this article is correct.
I had my co worker a Doc from Bombay read and he confirms my opinion.
Hilary I had a thought about Blenko Glass and Karma. When I visited the employees were so kind
and helpful perhaps Karma is what keeps Blenko alive when as you reported many glass factories are closed.
Just an observation.

what in your past life has lead to or resulted in Sol's infatuation?
Hi Hillary,
Time and again you have always surprised me with your interest, dedication and diverse knowledge.
I am more amazed by your understanding of life at this age and ability to correlate and connecting back to our daily activities are commendable..
I grew up reading Sanskrit in school thats what "Karma" means "Action" - your action controls the outcome which everyone has to bear either in this life or the next life..
so the gist of it is if you do good, good will happen and if you do bad, bad will happen to you
Ram
Ram beat me to it! Precisely my thoughts - I am amazed by your understanding at this age.
Regarding generating good karma, this is one of my favorite ones. The Buddha said, "If beings knew, as I know, the results of giving and sharing, the would not eat without having given, nor would the stain of selfishness overcome their minds. Even if it were their last bite, their last mouthful, they would not eat without having shared, if there were someone to receive their gift." -Itivuttaka, 26
The Indian delegation has spoken re: Karma.
I stand corrected.
Now Ive another ?, Ram and Hyphoto speak of you as if you are a baby.
How old are they? How old are you?

My fluffs have a great vet. Declining your offers.
