Letting Go of Debt by Karen Casanova

A book that I like to give to my bankruptcy clients if they need it is “Letting Go of Debt: Daily Meditations for Financial Recovery” by Karen Casanova. 

December 11th Mediation Reads: 

“Charity

‘Money is like manure. You have to spread it around or it smells’ – J. Paul Getty

We’re so in debt. We can hardly pay for our groceries. How can we possibly think about giving money to chur or a charity? 

When we give, willingly, we feel abundant. We feel like we have something others can benefit from. This makes us feel worthy, and it makes us feel rich. These feelings alone are enough to sustain us at times. When we give and feel abundance, it circulates in our lives. 

Today I will trust that what I give I also receive.” 

We suspect that Getty was referring to money that you have, and giving it to charity. Probably not money that you borrow on credit cards for things you may or may not need. For you, that money does not just smell, it stinks!

– Don Bell
