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.

  Seeing Only Red in a Sea of Blue   In my talks, I often play this game with the audience. I ask them to look around the room and count how many red shirts there are. After half-a-minute, I tell them to close their eyes. I ask them, “Are you ready with your answer?” They all reply with a resounding yes. Then I ask them, “Okay. How many blue shirts did you see?” They burst out laughing. And they try to guess. But no one gets the right answer. Why? Because they weren’t focused on the blue shirts but on the red. The point of this little exercise is to show them that every reality, every situation, every circumstance always has many sides. But we only see one side! Always.   You’re Not a Grasshopper   Let me tell you one of my all-time favorite stories in the Bible. The Israelites who escaped Egypt (think “Ten Commandments” with Charlton Heston) were now at the edge of the Promised Land. Not knowing what it was like, they sent 12 spies to scout the land i...

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...

Allana Pratt, Intimacy Expert - To MILF or not to MILF this Mothers Day

I don’t know if you have those to-do piles that just sit there, you WANT to get to them, you MEAN to get to them, and you OUGHT to get to them… while this video was in one of those piles. It took less than 10 minutes to do. Why did I put it off? Well if you’re like me, we only procrastinate with things we either don’t really want to do, or doing them will make us have to face something we’re not ready to face, internally or externally. We’re literally choosing not to face it and calling it procrastination. So I guess I didn’t want to face/own being a MILF. Really owning my badass queen Harley boots, pole dancing, MILF essence. I don’t even know what I’ve really made it all mean… just that I’m WAY more potent than I realize and my erotic creature is WAY overdue coming out to play, to create adventures, to embrace life and to shine!! So you know I call my women’s membership Redefining Sexuality , because I sure don’t care for the definition of sex or sexy… it’s void of honor, care and ...
