Super interesting read Jesse. I didn't like the look of the fake beads in the first photo, BUT they looked much better after their bath, probably absorbed some of your good energy. I love how they look after you set them on fire!! Are you sure you can't work with those? Hoping you get your money back. PS: I don't believe in Karma either : i read it was invented by the Brahmins to keep the lower classes in their place. Rang true. Hearts to you, my friend, A🙏💚
