WHY JUDGING DOESN’T SERVE YOU

We all do it from time to time. That inner critic comes out with an opinion about how someone is dressed or what they are saying or doing.

Sometimes this is done as a whisper to your friend in the moment, disguised as a random general post on social media, said directly to the person it pertains to or not said outloud at all.

It feels harmless when it’s only in your head, it’s not like they heard you anyways. Or especially when it’s a celebrity? Because not only did they not hear you but I mean they deserve both the good and bad that comes with fame, right?

Well, surprise, it’s not harmless, and it’s two fold.

For one, that person is receiving the energy you are sending, so if you thought they were a jerk before, whoah look out, because you just intensified it. Like fighting fire with fire.

And secondly, you are sending that negative energy out around you, indiscriminately, not just to the person you are critical of, not that that’s okay as we’ve established already, but family and friends and innocent bystanders. Not to mention the damage to yourself.

Whenever you judge someone, it’s coming from a low vibrational place. I mean it has to, you can’t be flying high in the vibration of joy or love and have the inspiration to judge someone, not even yourself.

Think of it this way, ‘What comes out of you, is inside you’. Wayne Dyer used to say if you squeeze an orange you get orange juice. You don’t want that negative limiting energy in or out of you. It doesn’t serve anyone, least of all you.

My process now is whenever I feel the need to criticize someone, even a celebrity, I stop and ask myself, WHY?

Is there some part of me I’m projecting onto someone else, as a way to not own it and handle it? If so, then I need to send that part of me love and then expand that love energy out into the world and then let it come back in again!

I have found that a lot of the people I have had the biggest problems with were those who didn’t cater to the opinions of others, they dressed how they wanted, spoke their mind and didn’t limit their choices in life, they were happy as they were and I was jealous of that.

So be kind to others and be kind to yourself. Love and Blessings!

Consistency aka Things to Work on in 2025

So you write a book, self publish and then the real work needs to be done; promotion. But how? Where? When? These are questions I’m constantly asking myself as I scroll through countless videos, pay for yet another package or course but the main theme that keeps coming up is Consistency.

I was thinking about that today. Thinking about how that persistent consistency applies to so much more than just one project. Can’t we apply this to LIFE?

You want a new job? Be consistent with searches, with updating skills and certifications.

You want a new relationship? Be consistent in being the best version of yourself and opening yourself to the possibility of a relationship.

I believe the reason for the consistency is the momentum that occurs when you continue to push forward, regardless of which outcome you are interested in. You can’t stop and binge Netflix. I mean yes, there should be some self care in there and it doesn’t mean you have to do something EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. But I do think it means you have to set the goal and be accountable for it.

Which is why I never set a goal for posting here. Sure, I have amazing and intriguing conversations in my head but the act of actually verbalizing and then typing them out is sometimes too hard on days. Therefore, I will post when I can and try to make it more often but I will leave my consistent goal as unset until some more desirable future and focus on the projects at hand.

How about you? Have you set any goals and do you have consistency issues or advice for us slackers?

Merry Christmas

It’s been quite the year, ups and downs but I feel mostly ups. I decided it was time to either follow through with my writing or thrown in the towel. I’m happy to say that the towel is still in my hand…or hanging on the towel holder? I’m not sure how I can write and hold a towel but point is I’m not giving up!

So my debut novel Amuse (revised from it’s original format circa 2015) is available in ebook at a discounted price of FREE or .99 cents on most platforms. To find it you will need to search using Amuse by Karma Marie.

I’m currently on a short pause from writing the sequel Amuse II, in order to enjoy the holiday with my family and prevent writer burnout. It will be released in 2025 – I’ll keep everyone posted.

Anyways, hope you an yours have a very festive and loving holiday!

The Results Are In:

Recently learned I apparently am suffering from a condition called “Soloitis” otherwise known as ‘Being Single’.

It’s not a rare disease, affecting approximately 46.4% of Americans over the age of 18.

Thankfully, it’s not Soloitis with complications – loneliness, depression, fear of rejection, ROCD, societal pressure and anxiety.

I didn’t catch it from anyone, it’s self inflicted, which means you can’t catch it from me either. So friendly hugs are okay.

I wasn’t aware it was an issue, I mean it doesn’t impact my daily activities like work or chores around the house and I feel like it actually helps with my writing, however, it has been brought to my attention, more than once, so I did some research.

Some benefits of Soloitis:

More time to myself, ability to focus, doing only what I want, only worrying about MY feelings and interests, freedom from being ‘tied down’, not having to check in with someone, not having to share space, not being infected with someone else’s negative energy, etc… Overall, just all around joy and happiness! 🥰

So, even though I’m afflicted, I will not suffer. I will go forth into the world with courage and optimism. 🥹 Despite what all those 90’s rom coms said!

Just wanted to share in case anyone else had the same condition, you are not alone! I mean, you’re still ALONE, just not alone in the having it.😏

Looking for a NOT ‘you complete me because I’m only half a person without you’ movie to watch. Check out Last Christmas with the dragon lady herself – Emilia Clarke 🥰 – who coincidentally is rumored to be single at the moment too!

Merry Christmas!
