Donate to Bruce

by Bruce Achterberg on December 3, 2008

If you appreciate or find this site or what I do helpful and would like to make a donation, please use one of the options below.

The amount you donate (or type of donation) is up to you—any and all donations are helpful and appreciated and help empower, encourage, and inspire me to contribute what I have to share with the world.

Donate via Paypal
To make a donation via PayPal or credit card, please click the button below, enter an amount, then click “Update Total”:



Note: you’ll be asked to enter a donation amount in USD (i.e. American dollars). You can still donate to me using your own currency, it will just be converted to the USD amount you enter.

Donate via check or cash
To send a donation via check or cash, please contact me via my contact form and I’ll give you the necessary details. Please indicate whether you’d like to donate via check or cash in your message.

Buy me a gift from my Amazon.com wishlist
Alternatively, you can also purchase an item (i.e. as a gift, a thank you, etc) from my Amazon.com wishlist and Amazon will send it to me (and your gift will be much appreciated!). Click the button below and you’ll be taken to my wishlist where you can purchase an item on the list and have it shipped to me:

My Amazon.com Wish List

Any items you purchase from my wishlist will be shipped to Australia (where I live).

To give you an idea of shipping costs, when I buy and ship a singular item from Amazon.com (such as a book) from America to Australia it costs me about $10 USD (which may be anywhere between $10 Australian dollars—or “AUD” for short—to $15 AUD, depending on the exchange rate).

If I order more than one item in the same order (say, another book) Amazon charges me $5 USD (which may be anywhere between $6 AUD to $15 AUD) for each additional item I add (although DVDs and CDs cost $3 USD per item instead of $5 USD). See Amazon’s shipping rates to Australia page for more specific shipping info and pricing.

“Donate” me some nice feedback, support, or encouragement
It’s a pleasure to receive feedback, and helpful to boot. Feel free to share any feedback or stories about any of my articles, resources, or services that you’ve found helpful, inspiring, or genuinely enjoyable; how I’ve helped you made positive changes in your life; what topics or type of content you’d like to see more of; and anything else you’d like to share. You’re welcome to share any resources (i.e. links to websites, or info about products) that you think I might like or find helpful. I appreciate and enjoy heartfelt, authentic communication, and especially enjoy hearing about how something I’ve shared has helped you.

If you’d like to donate, but you need to use your cash for other things…
… consider using some or all of the money you were going to donate to me to instead buy yourself something you’ll genuinely find useful, enjoyable, or interesting. Simply go out and buy something that will improve or make your life better or more fun in some way (it doesn’t even have to be a sensible item. It could be something you buy just because you can or want to. Perhaps something you’ve wanted for a while. Perhaps a guilty pleasure. I’ll leave what you buy to your imagination ;) ).

Sometimes the one who needs some pampering—the person who needs a donation—is you. Don’t deprive yourself of things you’d like to do, experience, or enjoy just so you can donate to me. Donate yourself something instead! You could even donate yourself some attention, a nice quite evening to yourself, some time in nature, or some special attention to someone (either a loved one or just someone you know). Then, once you’ve made your donation, send me a message to tell me what you bought or donated yourself (or perhaps, what you bought or donated to someone else). You enjoying yourself and enriching your life experience is enough of a donation for me. :) (And pretty hard to put a price on.) This may sound cheesy, but your happiness will impact both your life and the lives of others for the better—do everything you can to experience a whole lot of it. If I can teach you but one thing, it’s this: it’s good to feel good.

Having trouble with any of the above?
If you wanted to make a donation but were having trouble with or confused by any of the above options, send me an email and I’ll help you out—with eagerness and enthusiasm! ;)

Thank you for your support!
To be honest, your being here and enjoying or getting some benefit from my website or services is donation enough, but I do enjoy connecting with the people I have an impact on, so it’s always nice to hear from you (and receiving a donation is nice, too!). I truly appreciate and am mindful of any and all feedback, donations, and encouragement I receive.

I just love that my “work”—what I do—is essentially talking to people, connecting with them, and helping them by supporting them in improving themselves and connecting with and becoming more aware of who they really are. For me, it doesn’t get much better than that, and it’s something I’ve secretly fantasised about and worked (eagerly and relentlessly) towards for the last few years.
