Introduction
Little Bits of Karma Even though Holly O’Rourke is having problems with her longtime significant other, James, she has never considered cheating…that is, until the day she has a very interesting encounter with Charlie, a handsome coworker. Desperate to understand her increasingly conflicting emotions, Holly schedules an appointment for a reading with a psychic medium. She learns a surprising deeper meaning to her present-day troubles: Her past lives are full of adultery and tragic consequences?and not just with James and Charlie. The threads of her soul have been interwoven for centuries with those of several people in her present life. And the cost of karmic justice has finally come due. Little Bits of Karma follows Holly across time and space, weaving little stories of romance into one sweeping soulful tale of two souls who’ve chased each other through the centuries, but always been torn apart. Until now.
Excerpt
CHAPTER 1The Two of Cups
Holly O’Rourke wished she could be lying on a beach soaking up the sun and forgetting her troubles. She took a break from the mind numbing task she was working on to look out of her office window at the cheery, bright and sunny day. Her office was on the tenth floor of a commercial building in downtown Washington, D.C., and she could see for miles. She had a great office. It was filled with light from two tall windows, and although it wasn’t a large office, it had an inviting feel with everything she needed to get her work done. She worked as an Executive Assistant for a Department of Defense contractor, Military Technology Analysis Corporation (MTAC), directly supporting one of the company senior vice presidents. It was mid-September and summer would soon be fading. She loved the summer and hated to see it end. Sunny days and warm temperatures lifted her spirits when she was feeling down, and she was not in the best mood this morning due to an argument late last night with her significant other, James Macklin . . . ...

Discussion Questions
1. In the book, Holly explains that besides the reincarnation of one's soul, other souls tend to reincarnate simultaneously and meet the former soul's path - more concretely, having various kinds of relationships with people in real life (i.e. love relationship, friendship, partners in crime, etc.). For example, Holly's soul and Charlie's have met in several lives and, according to the karma, they have fallen for each other repetitively. Do you feel that people close to you in this life might have been close to you in past lives as well? Discuss this theory and how it might apply to reality, even in abstract ways.2. In line with the previous question, the encounters of people we meet during our life have been, somehow, determined by destiny. In love, we often say "we belong to each other" or "we weren't meant to be together" and so forth. Do you believe that our lives have been pre-planned according to some higher spiritual entity or record or do you think that our free will is stronger and can change our path?
3. Let us now focus on tarot card readings. Have you ever had a tarot card reading? If so, how did it influence you?
4. Have you ever experienced a past-life regression? Would you want to?
