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 me [...]
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… What [...]

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.
Over [...]

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 and [...]
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 our [...]
OK, so this isn’t really officially a blog post… it’s more like a link. And it’s a link to somebody else’s blog post… my wife’s.
I could not pass this up! This is the BEST story!!! You absolutely must see this…

Victoria, thank you for all that you do – I love you!
This is one of my favorite stories that I’ve come across recently!
Secret Snow Wiper Will Strike Again!
Kinda reminds me of that famous guy that gives away money, the Secret Dollar Man…
Have fun!

I recently went to a conference where one of the events was a get together in a really nice hotel. It was a beautiful place!
If you read my posts, you may know by now that I’ve started taking piano lessons. I am a music nut, and I’m having more fun than ever learning a new [...]
One of my most favorite places to hide a dollar is in the ice cream store.
I’ll walk in, and before settling down to place my order, I’ll walk over to one of the napkin dispensers and slip a dollar into one of the napkins, pushing it down so that it’s out of view…
So I went [...]
(This is a different kind of post for this blog… more about “knead”-ing… than giving…)
Please join me in remembering a great icon of the entertainment community. The Pillsbury Doughboy died yesterday of a yeast infection and trauma complications from repeated pokes in the belly. He was 71. Doughboy was buried in a lightly greased [...]
