In order to give back to our community, I give 5 percent of my gross monthly income from patient sessions to various charities and non-profit organizations, to those who serve the gay and lesbian (LGBT) and HIV communities.
I was inspired to do, by Jack Canfield’s book, “The Success Principles”. In one of his chapters on money and wealth, he recommends that everyone, to the extent that they can, practice the “tithe.” In earlier times, and to some degree today, to “tithe” meant the tradition of giving a certain amount of your income to your local church, as part of a commitment to membership. Jack Canfield “updates” this tradition by encouraging people to give to an organization or cause they care about. He relates stories of once people start doing this, they often have more than ever to give. I have certainly found this to be true. It also supports one of my tenets that I teach my clients about “living in abundance.”
