Dollar On The Scaffold

There was some work being done on the outside of my office building recently, so there was a scaffold set up right outside the building entryway. Well… you know the Secret Dollar Man… he can never resist anything so tempting as this…

But here’s the fun part… EVERYONE in our building goes out that door, every [...]

From Grumpy To Happy In Under 30 Seconds

I was at the airport, getting ready to depart, and just got the news that our flight, and several others, were being delayed by two hours. Ugghhhh… Flying…
OK, so the tensions were starting to run a little high with everyone. And I was getting irritated because it meant that I would get to my destination [...]

Time And Money

Two of the biggest worries common to all people (or at least those of a western influence) are…
Time…
And money.
Many folks complain that they never have enough of either. So let’s play a game.
Imagine for just a moment that you had all the money that you ever needed. Said another way, that you no longer had [...]

A Double Shot

So there I was, walking into the veterinarian to restock on heartworm pills for our German Shepherd, Licorice. I had my dollar in hand… Since there were quite a few folks in the lobby, I was a little more nervous than usual, and carefully looking around to make sure nobody would see the Secret Dollar [...]

Chipping Away On The Piano

I’m 52 years old. By some standards, that’s approaching old fart status…
I’ve been playing the guitar for 40 years, been singing for about 15 of ‘em. I absolutely love music, playing it, writing it, composing it, producing it. Music is in my blood. And I’ve recently made a real stretch with music…
I’ve started [...]

Feminine Living.com

For a semi old timer like me, the whole experience of the internet sometimes feels like it’s moving at a pace that is faster than I can keep up with. Too many friend invites, Twitter tweets, blogs to read, how can I manage all of this? But the bigger question is this – am I [...]

Give To Live, by Dr. Rick Barrett

I had lunch with Dr. Rick Barrett earlier this week. We first met almost 15 years ago at a music venue where I was performing, and didn’t talk again until a few weeks ago when Rick was a guest, along with Dr. Joe Vitale, on the Give Away A Dollar A Day Show. But this [...]

The Clipboard

We had just finished eating at our favorite Greek restaurant in the Montrose area of Houston, and I needed to hit the restroom on the way out. I hadn’t given away my dollar yet for the day, so I thought I would leave it somewhere in the restroom. Just as I was ready to do [...]

Giving

Now this…
Is giving.

A Little Slight Of Hand At The Bank

Almost forgot to mention… Following my post yesterday about giving away at the bank…
After finishing my prayer in the car, I walked into the bank, and over to the table top where they have all the deposit and withdrawal slips.
I needed a deposit slip.
As I was getting one out, I did my best slight-of-hand to [...]

Going All The Way

I went to the bank today to make a deposit, and decided that this was where I was going to Give Away A Dollar A Day. So I sat in my car before going in, and said a prayer around this give away.
My give away prayer is whatever I’m drawn to in the moment – [...]

Dreama’s Grandmother

Joan Adams is amazing! I’ll be browsing through my e-mails, and then I’ll find one from her with the most incredibly inspiring story in it!! Joan, I don’t know where you find all of these, but I do thank you so much for sending them my way. This most recent one that you sent is [...]

True Giving

My wife, Victoria, needed to go get her driver’s license renewed, and asked me to write down the directions for her on how to get there. I had done this many times before, because she admittedly is not good with directions.
But the sad part is that, for years, I grumbled about it and became really [...]

Prosperity’s Source

You know, I do my very best to stay positive and upbeat, and am committed to my inner work everyday. And one of the new things I’ve added to my life is to begin to eliminate the “news” from each day. I’m talking about the news on TV and in print.
But I have to admit, [...]
