Catherine Carey wrote in her blog, Taking Care of Yourself, yesterday about how good it feels to give to others...it is so true--but it is important that when we give we do so for the right reasons.
It definitely feels fantastic to support organizations that you believe in…it is so important to give back to the world…but we often get caught in the idea of “should” contribute.
When we are donating…either our time or our money…we (and the organizations we are supporting) deserve to be 100% behind the cause. Rather than giving out of “should” or obligation, when we give out of love our efforts are multiplied by the universe.
The good feelings we have when we donate out of love are sent out and others feel the energy and are inspired to give to organizations that they believe in, too!
Remember--it is your life, your time, your energy and your money. Give freely...let it circulate...and give in ways that uplift you so that you are circulating love in addition to money! In fact, the circulating of love is more important...and something that everyone can do--even if they don't have physical (fiscal) money to spare!

Want to Help Others without Spending More Money?
Does part of you believe that there is enough to go around, but you are having trouble making ends meet? If you thought you could not help others because you only have enough to take care of yourself, the Universe has provided you with a way to do both!
ServeNation.com is a nonprofit that allows consumers to give back to local and national nonprofits without spending extra money. For some people this is a critical component.
Right now the number of participating non-profits is limited, but go to ServeNation.com to read more about the program. You can purchase gift cards to use for yourself or to give to others. You get the full face value of the gift card and the nonprofit agency of your choice gets up to 8% of that face value as a donation. Serve Nation does not take any fees--nor is there any shipping or handling charge!
Ready to buy a gift card--this link takes you to all the organizations that are participating at this time, listed in alphabetical order. Click on the organization that you want to support and you will be taken to a page with the various gift cards that you can purchase.
For example, you might find cards for grocery stores, movies, hotels, even Starbucks! Buy cards for places you shop anyway and help out a great cause or buy some gift cards to give as gifts for the holidays and you are giving in two ways!
If your favorite charity is not on the ServeNation directory, give that nonprofit a heads up. They can join the program!

Money is an Exchange of Energy
Money has no meaning except for what we decide to give it. By itself, money is just another piece of paper.
So if you are going to give money power, know that is your choice.
You can change how you think about money. If you haven't read The Secrets of the Millionaire Mind, by T. Harv Eker, I strongly recommend it. Harv gives you tools to break your old patterns about money and open you up to the abundance there is in life!
Money is an exchange--call it of energy or of services, it doesn't really matter. Money is really a tool to make bartering easier! Instead of swapping a chicken for a doctor's advise, we pay with money, but it is really the same principle.
