I send out an email every couple of weeks to folks who subscribe to Inspirations From Give Away A Dollar A Day. I’ve been doing this for several years now, sharing stories of blessing, and of giving and receiving. Every once in a while, someone will write to me with a question. Here’s one I [...]
Watching the news lately, I’m really seeing what so many of us are seeing, and that is that the world’s economies look like they’re really struggling, and us along with them. Folks here in the US are feeling it. Gas prices going up… AGAIN… Food prices… OUTTA SIGHT… Lost jobs… But right now… today… I [...]

I recently received this from a friend of a friend of a friend… You know, one of those where you really don’t know who originated it or where… But it is so good and so true about real giving, giving from the heart, that I wanted to share it with you in case you haven’t [...]
I’m still “high” from staffing the February 2011 New Warrior Training last weekend in Central Texas. I’m high because I have a ton of hope. I’ll be honest, I’ve seen the news a bit too much lately, and there’s a part of me that is concerned about the shape the world’s in right now. Particularly [...]
About three and a half years ago, I was in a situation that required me to go to a place of deep trust and faith inside. I don’t tend to be a real “faithful” kind of guy, so this was really new to me. It was a matter of life and death for me – [...]

OK, so it wasn’t exactly milk… It was cream… Last week, I was in my car, driving around like a crazy man. Too many things to do, and too little time. So… I was in a hurry. I had just picked up a bunch of coffee from Starbucks for a customer event that I was [...]
As weird as that question may sound, please bear with me for a minute or two… I noticed the other day that the flusher lever on one of our toilets was getting loose. As I looked a little closer, I could see that the plastic housing behind the handle was cracking. This seemed normal to [...]
I did something last Saturday that changed my life. I joined two of my friends, Chris Thibeaux and Ken Vaughn, as we went about giving gifts of food to many of the homeless folks in Houston. Ken and Chris were “veterans” at this… I had never done this before… I say it changed my life… [...]

Licorice, our 12 year old German Shepherd, passed away on Christmas Eve. I had been talking to a friend a couple of weeks ago about life and living, and at some point in our conversation, he made the comment that he was now very happy and content because he is no longer afraid of dying. [...]

My wife, Victoria, makes beautiful hand crafted gifts. You can find many of them HERE. And when I say hand crafted, I mean just that – she makes each of them one at a time, with all the love and the care that anyone would put into making a unique gift for a loved one. [...]

You may or may not know that I had a radio show on the Law Of Attraction Radio Network for close to a year – the Give Away A Dollar A Day show. I was excited when I first started it, but soon realized that it was taking quite a bit of time to prepare [...]

OK, now that I have your attention… It’s not… quite… like it sounds… Dr. Rick Barrett, co-author with Dr. Joe Vitale of the book Give To Live, is a friend who has written some beautiful poetry that is in his book, and that I am putting to music. When we met for lunch late last [...]
If you’ve kept up with my blog posts, then you know that most of what I’ve written about has been giving. And, you may also know that I am an avid musician and am now adding, with private lessons, the piano to my repertoire of instruments. For the moment, as I spend more time playing [...]
So there I was, sitting in a business meeting, about ten of us gathered around the conference room table, with a Power Point slide show going. It was a long meeting, ended up lasting for three hours by the time we were done. And… it started out a little contentious, but eventually came around to [...]
I was in a nice, quaint restaurant the other evening, with some business associates. It’s a very intimate place that serves Cuban Fusion food and has some of the nicest decorations and artwork I’ve ever seen. The place also has a piano. And we were fortunate enough to be blessed with live piano music during [...]
