"What Goes Around, Comes Around" : An Opinionated Mom's Perspective on KARMA

It’s a new year and another opportunity for a fresh start.  If you believe in Karma, which is the Buddhist law of moral causation, a belief that "what goes around, comes around," then how about seizing the opportunity that comes “once in a blue moon” to get some good Karma going?  

The great thing about new beginnings is that they can take whatever form you chose.   I remember hearing about the butterfly effect and what a profound impact it had on my thinking at the time.  The idea behind this principle of physics is...

LIVING LA VIDA LOHAN: Lindsay Lohan Going To Jail
mediaswirl.files.wordpress.com

A Beverly Hills judge ruled Tuesday that Lindsay Lohan violated the terms of her probation in a drunk-driving case when she failed to attend alcohol education classes.  She was sentenced to 90 days in jail. In addition to the jail sentence, the judge ordered her to a 90 day stay in a drug rehabilitation center.  

In her ruling, the judge cited several instances in which Lohan reportedly lied about her use of drugs and alcohol, and deceived authorities in her connection to these events. Lohan addressed the court, saying "As far as I knew I was in compliance with my programs. I wasn’t trying to get special treatment. I have to provide for myself. I have to work. Having said that, I did everything to balance my jobs and showing up. I’m not taking this as a joke. It’s my life. It’s my career. ... I take responsibility for my actions. I’ve tried to do the best I can. It’s been such a long haul, I don’t want you to think that I don’t respect you.”

MOMism: “I don't want to hear excuses.” We teach our kids to take responsibility for their actions, not to make excuses.  Lindsay Lohan lived her young and reckless life as if the rules didn’t apply to her.  She repeatedly broke parole, and made excuses for her flawed judgment. Now Lindsay will be living behind bars. This Beverly Hills judge may have finally convinced her that nobody is above the law, even celebrities.  As an added benefit, she may have just saved her life.

      Seriously, but Lindsay's parents are to blame! They are so gross...the dad is a publicity hound...the mom wants to be her friend and pick up guys at the bar with her...and they all expect her to pay the bills! We all control our own actions, but with role models like that, she was bound to play the victim! So sad.

    I think this is the best thing that could have happened to Lindsay. Maybe, just maybe this will open her eyes and make her change the direction of her life...I certainly hope it will.
