I met Carlyn at the Incarnation Fair. She bought the caged amethyst that is highlighted on my FB page. (Love it.) She also bought some earrings. I had put out a sign that if anyone bought $35 or more, they got free earrings. Well, it became clear early on that most people were not going to spend that much, and I forgot about it. I realized when I got home on Sunday that Carlyn had paid $50 and she had not received any free earrings. By luck (or something else?) she paid by check and I had her name and phone number. I called her up and told her I owed her some earrings. She requested something in a sapphire color. I got to work and make a couple pairs for her to choose from. She also mentioned that she had some jewelry that needed fixing. I said I would give it a try.
I met her today at Starbucks. I could not really remember her from the fair, as there were a lot of people. She is an older gal, in her 70's I would guess. She was extremely well put together and had on a flattering purple sweater with lovely matching necklaces that were very fashionable. She had sparkly purple earrings. Her hair was nicely done and she had a cute purse. She did not walk like many older people I see. She walked very confidently, with a straight back and ease in her step. She was friendly and warm and we had a nice time chatting and discussing her jewelry to fix. Carlyn is someone who is very sure of herself and a pleasure to be around. She exudes class, intelligence and positive energy. I thought, I want to be this lady when I am in my 70's.
I think in a way the universe was rewarding me for taking that step to make sure that Carlyn got the earrings that I promised. I got to meet a wonderful lady, enjoy working on her jewelry and possibly have further positive connections from my interaction with her.
That's what I call Karma. Think of someone who just impresses the heck out of you. Be like that person today!
