Feel-Good Freebie

Lately I have been thinking about how to reinvent this karma project of mine to make it less like a "shop" and more like a community.

After roaming the internet for some-hours searching for inspiration I came across quite a few sites that sparked some excitement. There was a site in particular called Operation Nice that I was really taken in by. I felt I could really relate to the project and the people involved, even though I had never met them. There was a closeness there which made me think of what I could do with my project that gave people that same feeling of camaraderie and community. I was most inspired by the flower handouts that were accompanied by "Nice" tags. I felt that was a really great way of giving back and making people feel special.

That's when I thought of creating karma cards that could be downloaded and printed from anyone's computer on printable business cards. In this crazy world of super-evolving technology and depressing state of financial affairs, I thought this was a great way to get back to the roots of communication and personal connections.

This first set expresses gratitude towards someone who might give you great service; a waitress, a service clerk, a gas attendant. And because these cards are generic, they can be passed around from person to person.

They are free to download here.

And I would love to hear how you're using them. Or if you have a suggestion or idea for a future freebie, please email me.

Enjoy your karma!
