I just couldn't believe how clear and obvious (and persistent!) the universe is in giving me the message that the answer to my financial worries is to tithe - so I had to write it in this blog. It's really cool when you see such a clear message from the divine!
I just finished band practice and turned on the TV and what was on was the 700 Club, a christian TV show and they were talking about tithing and telling stories about people who got out of financial worry by tithing. How ironic is that?! I never watch christian shows (I'm not a christian) and certainly don't watch what Dave & I like to jokingly call the "god" channels! This show was on the last network I last watched - ABC Family.
I just thought that was such a cool instance of the universe clearly answering me and giving me a message that I had to tell you.
I have started tithing by donating money - 2/3rds of the 10% of my income so far - to worthy causes. I haven't seen any results yet but Dave has already!
I convinced Dave, who is a little more conservative (and pessimistic when it comes to faith) than I am, to believe there might be something to this tithing, and he recently gave it a shot. He is making a guitar for his friend who said he loves his guitars and wishes he could have him build one, who also just lost his eye in a freak accident and doesn't have health insurance. He's not just making the guitar and giving it to him, he's using it to start a fund for his friend and posted it on his website & facebook encouraging others to donate to this fund to help his friend pay for his medical bills (and cheer him up a little). He has already had someone contact him after seeing this donation project, wanting him to build him a custom guitar! He also just happened to get a bonus at work!
I'm sure I'll have more great things we'll get from tithing that I'll tell you about in future blog posts.
I love hearing others stories too, so please post your tithing story in the comments below. :)

Tithing?
Ok, I'm going to try it! Tithing. (here's the definition if you don't know what it is... http://www.thefreedictionary.com/tithe). Dave & I have been worrying about money too much lately (and not about how much we have, although that would be a great thing to imagine, having so much money we don't know what to do with it all!).
First of all, we know full well the universal law of attraction. When it comes to money, if you worry about it, the universe will continue to give you reasons to worry about it (aka, continuing to not have it). I'm just telling you what others have told me and what I've experienced first hand in my life - my "proof" it is true. I didn't make this shit up - although it would be cool if I would have. I'd really not have a lack of money if that was the case! LOL! ;)
So, I know this worrying is not helping and I've been asking the universe/God/my spirit guides for guidance on what to do so I can afford everything I need and want to do this year. Because I pay attention to and am in tune with the spirit world (including God) and universal guidance, I have gotten a clear answer quickly and in several different places.
One is in an audiobook I felt the "urge" to listen to recently is Prosperity Plus. Urges are not coincidences btw. It is spirit guiding you. Another place I was guided to is the book Flying High by Calvin Lehew and Stowe Shockey. He talks about how we was able to become a millionaire (his goal from a young age) by the time he was 25. What I'm reading now says when you give of yourself, much will be given to you. Calvin said in order to be successful in business, or anything in life, you have to give more than is expected.
This is directly related to tithing and also the basic universal law of reciprocity - you get back what you give (usually multiplied). It just makes a lot of sense to me. I've certainly been experiencing the law of reciprocity with love. As you know, if you've been reading my blog, I have been experimenting with what happens when I put love out to everyone/the universe. Well, I've been getting a lot of love back! Unfortunately, not always in ways I want (several men - some I already know, some I just meet - have been telling me they like me or are attracted to me).
Single ladies (or men)?! Pay attention to that!
If you want to attract love, you have to first put it out there. Boy does it work!
(of course part of it is being able to love yourself, your whole self completely, but that's another chapter for another day - come to my workshop if you need help with this - it's what I talk about).
Anyway, so, I know the law of reciprocity works with giving love, so I figure why wouldn't it work the same way for money. If I give money to good causes, I should get money back (and more than I give). I think there's something to this tithing thing. I'm going to give it a try.
I'll tell you how it goes. Wish me luck (and money - I need it! ;)
P.S., I'm having a very hard time coming up with a title for my workshop about loving yourself=loving others=improving relationships=improving happiness. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
