Karma Grinds Slow But Exceedingly Fine – Update April 2019

Sing It Stevie!!

It seems so long ago. October 2016. 2 1/2 years ago. At the time my so called business partner had shoved a giant knife in my back. Go back a few posts and read it for the background. In his greed and shortsightedness he thought he would figuratively turn into Al Pacino from Scarface. The world would be his oyster.

The King!

At that time I honestly did not know how I was going to recover from that. That wonderful human being had locked me out of everything. I mean everything. Being the somewhat cautious person I am, fortunately I kept a backup copy of our customer database and some other important records. Even with those backups I knew I was in for a rough ride. Almost 4 years of hard work down the drain because I trusted someone I never should have. I did not listen to that little voice in the back of my head. It’s interesting because about 3 weeks after it happened I stumbled across by the weirdest circumstances a psychic that offered a session. I really do not give too much credence to psychics even though I have run across 4 or 5 in my life that told me things that there is NO WAY they could have known. No leading questions just straight out facts that blew my mind when they told me.

Well, this psychic I crossed paths with in October 2016 told me the same thing. One of the first things she told me was that I don’t listen very well to my “inner guidance”. I’m not sure if she said inner guidance but she did say I do not listen very well when “something” is trying to tell me something. She said you tend to ignore it. And she was right. She told me other things that were aligned with what I knew.

A long time ago I met an older woman that took my name including my middle name and wrote it on a piece of paper. She then started drawing lines under each letter. Row after row. After she was done it sort of looked like an upside down pyramid. When she finished she studied it. And then she spoke. What she told me blew my mind. I can’t remember everything but I do remember being blown away listening to this woman describe my life.

Another time early on in my life I ran across a couple that could see auras. Now little ol Laurie sort of laughed in my mind but the gentleman was very cordial and asked if I wanted mine read. I was in a good mood and I said ok. Well, in his living room he had a large full length mirror. It was very ornate and old. He asked me to stand in front of it. He stood directly behind me and just said to look at my image but don’t stare at it. Gaze at it but in a sort of non-focused way. He said most everyone can see auras if they practice. Well I tried and I gazed but I could not see any. After awhile he began to describe what he saw and what colors were showing and what they meant and what the breaks in the colors meant. He started to describe something that was happening in my life at that moment. He then started to talk about very specific things that were happening to me. I had just met this guy about 20 minutes before in the course of my business.

There were another 3 or 4 times I met people in the course of my business that after speaking to them for a while I felt there was something different about them. It’s hard to explain but it’s something you feel. And those 2 or 3 others were equally mind astounding. One was a woman. A friend of a friend. She spoke to my friend on the phone and asked me if I wanted to talk to her. I said sure. Well, she began to tell me things on the phone that there is NO WAY she could know. Even my friend did not know those things about me. This woman went on to say one thing I did not take much thought of. She told me (and I still have the tape somewhere) that in 6 or seven years I would start an import/export business. I never had the slightest interest in import/export businesses. My business at the time was local. Here’s the really weird thing and I still get goosebumps saying this. About 6 years later I did start a very successful import business. How about them apples?

I could go on with a few other psychic stories and I could go on with my lifelong intuition but suffice to say I do believe there is more to this world than what you can bang a hammer on. I have lived in three haunted houses in my life. The last one was VERY haunted. VERY. I had never been in such a place where sounds and manifestations took place. Mainly after dark and in the middle of the night. Knocks, scrapes, phones ringing in the middle of the night, text typing by itself on my phone in the middle of the night, footsteps downstairs, footsteps upstairs in the hallway, items missing then reappearing the next day, toilets that flush by themselves, very cold parts of the house, footsteps on the roof in the middle of the night, computers that reboot themselves 3 or 4 times a day, did I mention items that disappear and then reappear a day or two later. Yea. I know some of you think I must be nuts. You had to have been there. Never in my life had I come across anything that intense. The other two places were minor in comparison if you consider footsteps in the room above you and the stairs squeaking like someone is coming downstairs normal.

Anyhoos, not sure how I got off on this woo woo tangent. Suffice to say that I need to listen more to that “inner voice”.

What Goes Around Comes Around – June 2018 Update

On November 26, 2016 I made a long post about my “business partner” that stabbed me in the back, locked me out of all our business accounts and tossed me overboard. Well, well, well…. my how a little time changes every thing. He thought he was a big shot and knew everything about the business that basically I started and ran day-to-day. I did 99.9% of the work and he got 50% of the profit. Every month. His eyes got big. He thought he was a genius. If he cut me out and locked me out he could have it all! 100% of the profits. Yea. He thought so.

Turns out that a few birdies have been whispering in my ears. He burned our biggest supplier for a TON of money in the summer of 2017. He kept the money owed them and found a new supplier. Over time since the summer of 2017 I have been getting more and more whispers about what was actually going on. He lost our best account in the spring of 2017. He used the money he stole from me and from our biggest supplier to start another business in 2017. That business finally went belly up in February 2018. And I mean BIG BELLY UP!! Employees quitting due to his fraud with customers, etc… Another of our original suppliers terminated his account in March 2018 due to non-payment. His business phone lines are dead. In March of 2018 a birdie told me he approached one of my friends and asked to borrow $10,000. The friend said sure you can. If you put up collateral for the loan. At that point my ex business partner hung up the phone. Imagine that! He wanted a $10K loan for free with no collateral!

His house was foreclosed on in late 2017. The bank sold his house in the spring of 2018 and he received a 30 day eviction notice from the sheriffs. After speaking to our old suppliers I was informed his business had dropped down to 5% of what it was when he stabbed me in the back in October 2016.

Aint it sweet. The man who thought he was invincible stumbled and fell off the cliff.

Schadenfreude (/ˈʃɑːdənfrɔɪdə/German: [ˈʃaːdn̩ˌfʁɔʏ̯də] (About this sound listen)lit. ‘harm-joy’) is the experience of pleasure, joy, or self-satisfaction that comes from learning of or witnessing the troubles, failures, or humiliation of another.

Coyu featuring Cari Golden Profound Pleasure — Schadenfreude

Do I feel bad? Should I feel bad? Is it bad to enjoy Schadenfreude? Do I have an ounce of sympathy or empathy for him? The answer to all above is no, I do not. Since October 2016 I have learned that is his modus operandi. To steal from others. To lie, cheat and steal anyway he could from anyone. Karma has just begun for him. Karma grinds slow but exceedingly fine.

The good news out of all of this is just like what I said back in the November 2016 post. That I would look back in 6 months or a year and laugh about it. And that’s exactly what happened. In many ways it was good. It freed me from a nightmare. I had known for about a year things with him were getting worse and worse. I wanted to cut the cord but kept putting it off. He played his hand and made the decision for me in late 2016.

As of today I have built the business back to 80% of what it was in late 2016. And that is fine with moi. Now I keep all the profits and do not have to give any away to lazy, good for nothing freeloaders and scammers.

Behind every dark cloud there is a silver lining. It’s so true. I was going nuts back in late 2016 but now I can say it’s probably the best thing that could have happened. At the time I could not see it. A year and a half later it’s crystal clear.

Keep your mind on your dream. Don’t look at the past. See it as clear as day in your mind. Think about it everyday. Live it in your mind. Live every minor detail. See yourself as if it was actually in the physical world. Do not listen to the doubters and the negativity. Keep your dream to yourself. It’s your dream and no one else’s. The dreams I have seen come true most likely would mean little to you. Because it’s not your dream. Your dream fits you like a glove. Likely it does not or could not fit others. Be careful who you tell your dream to. If anyone. My advice is to tell no one. And even when it comes true tell no one. A bag of gold does not increase in value if others know about it. People tend to not care. Because it’s not their dream. Why should they? It’s your dream. Your hearts desire. What drives you mad. What keeps you awake at night. What you think about all the time. It wants to reach you just as bad as you want to reach it. That’s what the burning desire deep inside you feeling is. It’s indescribable but that’s as close to the feeling as I know. It’s way, way beyond words. Don’t be one of those who on their deathbed is filled with regrets the way they lived their life.


Life is too short to deal with negative people and negative situations. Be different. Chart your own course. Be the captain of your own ship. Not a first mate on an ocean liner.

Time passes so quickly. You will blink and 20 years has gone by.  I will leave you with two quotes. Both are by Steve Jobs.

“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma – which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of other’s opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.”

“For the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: ‘If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?’ And whenever the answer has been ‘No’ for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something.”

How I Found Freedom In An Unfree World

A long time ago I came across a book that changed my life. It might change yours if you want it as bad as I did. In 1974 I was in a bookstore and came across this. The title instantly jumped out at me. After reviewing several chapters in the bookstore I purchased it. The book? How I found Freedom In An Unfree World.

How I Found Freedom In An Unfree World
How I Found Freedom In An Unfree World

I was rather young when I stumbled across this book but the more times I read this book the more I wanted to invoke the strategies I discovered within its pages. It took a while but day by day, month by month, year by year I tried to apply the strategies into my life. I could see the writing on the wall even back then at my tender age. Fast forward to 2018. The names have changed but the play is still the same.

I came across a woman recently that read this book later in her life. After much soul-searching she ended her marriage of 38 years to pursue her dream. A dream she had since very young but never had the opportunity to pursue it. Well, she mentioned that ending her bad marriage, however painful, was the best thing she ever did. After a year she ran into a man who shared her ideals in life and married him. Since then they have pursued their mutual dream together with a passion she had not known since she was a little girl. It was very hard in the beginning when she divorced. She had never lived alone or paid bills by herself. But little by little she discovered it was not that hard to do. The thing that impressed Little Laurie was she threw in the towel on a 38-year-old investment (however bad it was) to strike out into the unknown to pursue her dreams she held secretly inside her heart her entire life.

I think a lot of folks have that secret dream inside them but due to age, responsibilities or whatever they put their dream away into the far recesses of their mind. Only to be taken out and looked at in their most private moments alone. I have always thought of it as a mirrorball. You know a large globe with many, many small mirrors attached. For the most part most folks only show to the public the front facing part of the mirrorball. The part for public consumption. But towards the back of that mirrorball are secrets and dreams that are held in secret for fear of what “others” will say or think. Now that is a real prison. A prison of the mind. When I meet folks I always try to imagine what their secret dream they have held onto for years and decades might be. The dream they never told anyone about. The dream that never really dies. The dream that many take to their deathbed.

When I die I don’t want to look back and regret so many things I never did in my life. I want to say “Wow! that was a great ride! I accomplished just about everything I set out to do! It was so much fun!”

BTW, if you would love to hear the author of How I Found Freedom In An Unfree World give a one hour talk about his book here is a link to that video.
