I love the show "My Name is Earl." Bad Karma, Good Karma. It is weird but funny (sometimes hysterical) show. So, I saw this article on another blog and thought I would share. I'm going to try to at least one of these a week. If you do also, share what happens
9 ways to improve your karma
Do you believe what goes around, comes around? We do! Try these little acts of do-goodery and the happy vibes they produce will boomerang right back at you.

1 That jangling sound when you walk? It’s probably about 10 bucks in change. Plunk it into a Coinstar machine (find one in your neighborhood at coinstar.com), hit the donate button and choose from a great list of worthy nonprofits.
2 Stop berating your thighs for being jiggly, your hair for being curly, your nose for not being Jessica Alba’s…. Kindness starts at home.
3 Say “no problem” to the waitress who forgot your ice water, the guy who cut in front of you in line, even the ex whose name you still curse. Forgiveness, after all, is the 401(karma) of life.
4 Yeah, if he’d turned left where you (and MapQuest) told him to, you’d be there by now. You know it, he knows it. Just make the choice not to rub it in.
5 Commit to a three-compliments-a-day minimum. And stick to it!
6 Simple rule: Know the name of anyone you see at least once a week. That means your dry cleaner, the office security guard and your weird neighbor.
7 Teach a kid how to tie a shoelace, the difference between lay and lie, or how to make a bully sorry he ever messed with you—anything that took you too long to learn on your own.
8 Wow, somebody should really help that lady lug her heavy stroller up the stairs. Wait, isn’t your middle name Somebody?
9 Treat yourself to that brownie sundae. A recent study found that people may act more altruistic after a major infusion of glucose!
