Sometimes it seems like the world is caught in an endless cycle of acrimony and retribution. From wars and terrorist attacks to petty slights and insults that explode into full-blown disputes and destroy relationships, bad behavior seems to reign. Yet you don't have to look far to find people who practice kindness and intentionally work to sow peace, friendship and goodwill. And who want to make sure that those values are elevated in a challenging world.
That's the intention of Darlene and Ken Tipton, aka "Karma Dar" and "Karma Ken." The California couple created AmazingKarma.comaround the simple non-religious concept of "What goes around, comes around."
Marketing surveys show that over 180 million Americans believe in the concept of Karma. 67% of women, 46% of men, and 73% of the LGBT community are true believers.
The Tipton's AmazingKarma.com movement is brought forth through their fun and purposeful website, social network, app and Karma Cards and Karma Coins.
- AmazingKarma.com acknowledges acts of kindness, courtesy, and honesty, through the giving of Green Karma Cards.
- AmazingKarma.com exposes acts of unkindness, discourtesy, and dishonesty, through the giving of Red Karma Cards.
It is through providing these cards to others that Karma is passed along and rewarded -- or brought to someone's conscious awareness.
Here's how this works: Even though the two types of Karma Cards are given for different reasons, BOTH types of Karma Cards are treated the same way when they are registered in the registrant's free account. When a Karma Card is registered, it generates a positive Karma Point for that person and ALSO for EVERY person who registered the same Karma Card in the past. When someone receives and registers a Red Karma Card, it is assumed the person has "owned their actions" and taken personal responsibility for their bad behavior. If they haven't, then Karma WILL pay them a visit.
And here's the best part: As long as the Green or Red Karma Cards keep being passed on, the UNLIMITED Karma Points earned by the original Karma Card holder are redeemable as Karma Cash toward donations to registered charities or for any consumer Gift Cards. The beautiful Karma Coins the Tipton's have designed also serve the same purpose. Increase your Karma Points to boost your Karma Quotient!
The AmazingKarma website--where cards can be obtained for free during an introductory period--is designed to show one's accumulation of good Karma, inspire people to live a life worthy of attracting more positive Karma, create conversation on the subject and be a hub of all things Karmic.
Darlene and Ken came up with the idea for AmazingKarma.com from a Karma Point game their family plays to ensure members strive for more compassionate and loving actions. A child abuse survivor, breast cancer victor and five-time Jeopardy Champion, Darlene has a long career in radio, television and film that includes working as a Hollywood studio executive and award-winning independent producer. Ken has an equally long history of entrepreneurship and, more recently, movie producing. His movie, HEART of the BEHOLDER, was based on his family's true story and won five Best Feature Film awards. Darlene and Ken married in 2005 and founded Amazing Karma to acknowledge good behavior while exposing bad behavior that we all enable.
