morgana - What's the deal with tithing?

Money Flying A week ago, someone asked me my views on tithing.


After a decade of hearing from women who over-give and tithe themselves INTO poverty, my view may be different than she expected.


I don't believe we can manipulate the universe into making us rich by donating as a vehicle to wealth creation. Life doesn't work that way.


Here's my take on tithing: it's an individual choice. Give for giving's sake, that can look lots of ways.


I'm a pushover for about a dozen charities, and typically spend LARGE amounts of money each year on stuff I believe in--animals, human rights, the environment, Cynthia Kersey's Unstoppable Foundation.


NOT to get any abundance back... but because the pain of leaving things as they are is too great, when I could make a difference.


I don't see this as tithing. I see it as an experience of abundance.


And I love to give nice things to my local Jewish Council Thrift or Good Will. Clean clothes, furniture, housewares in good condition. Because NOTHING makes me more aware of how much I have... than giving away beautiful things that I don't need.


And back in the day when I had less cash and a tighter budget, I gave my time and effort (still do). That's the most precious gift we have to give.


The bottom line is GIVE to the world because giving will make you a happier human being. Give love, time, effort, attention, expertise, things, assistance, and--when you feel called--give cash. Because you want to make a difference. Not because of some idea that giving will make the universe owe you something and reward you with cash.

Allana Pratt, Intimacy Expert - My boyfriend’s messaging strange women

Question: Do you have any idea why a man would start instant messaging strange woman after being in a five year relationship. Said he was “stupid” and wasn’t physical with anybody. I guess you can say I have trust issues. Answers: Ouch! I am so sorry. Do I have any idea why? Here is what I have learned, first off I am really sorry because that really hurts. If you have trust issues especially, that would hurt and sting even more. So first something about trust and then something about men. Trust: When we trust, it’s not that we trust someone to be perfect. That sets us up for failure because no one is perfect and you can’t control anybody. That is insanity if we try to control another and put all of our power – making sure they be a certain way to so that we are safe. Instead, find that safety and trust inside you. That safety being that capacity to discern and know that come what may, you’ve got your own back – you can take care of yourself. It takes a lot of pressure off of other...
