I believe in the value of Karma and in doing whatever is right to sort of "bank in" good Karma. I have found that by living a good life it only gets better. Keep up your belief in yourself it's well worth it! Warmly ~ Mary L. Conley, ND, Herbalist Conley Farm Organic Herbs Online Classes Private Consultations [Posted in FML issue 4141]
