Be Like A Child

This morning, when I was giving away my dollar, I was thinking (or, rather, listening to my inner critic…) about why I was doing this. It was as if I was questioning why I was still giving away a dollar, every day…
I’ve heard the words of the voice before, and this time the dribble wasn’t […]

A Miracle From Giving

I “officially” started to Give Away A Dollar A Day in August of 2007. If you don’t already know about it, you can read the whole story here.
And, there’s another version that started about 10 years before that, which you can read about here.
However, I have not yet publicly told the story of the first […]

Be. Do. Dream. Thrive.

I was in our local CVS Store, shopping for a birthday card for my nephew, Mark. He’s a young man who continues to inspire me with his belief in his own dreams, and who is now a successful car designer because he never stopped believing! So I knew I wanted to get him an uplifting, […]

Children’s Books

I just had an incredible experience… I was looking around the house for books from which I could find quotes on prosperity, for study and for possible inclusion in my weekly e-mail Inspirations From Give Away A Dollar A Day.
The more I looked, the more I realized my bookshelves were filled with books on […]

My 30 Day Stockpile

This is kind of a give away idea, because it’s what I did recently when I went to the bank to “refill” my give away envelope! (where I store all my soon-to-be gifts )
Here’s what I do - I usually get thirty $1’s for the whole month ahead. Lately, though, I’ve been having some […]

Holding The Sun

OK, so I’m going out on a limb with this one… I’m not really sure what this has to do with giving, but I absolutely LOVE these pictures!!
You may have already seen some of them as they are making their way around on the web. My wife, Victoria, sent me an e-mail with these photos […]

Origami Originality

I never cease to be amazed at the incredible creativity that some folks have! Especially when it comes to really creative ways for giving away dollar bills.
Origami is one of those great ideas… Blending true art with the generosity of every day giving!!
I just learned about a great web site for Dollar Bill Money Origami, […]

Bart’s Realization

My good friend Joe Vitale wrote a post in his blog recently, at blog.mrfire.com/music/pickin-love/. I loved that particular post…
OK, ok… so I admit I’m a little biased about the subject material…

And, I loved one of the comments to his post, by Bart, who was expressing his gratitude for Give Away A Dollar A […]

An Interview From The North Pole

You are NOT going to believe this!
On Sunday night, the 4th of May, I was interviewed by Mrs. Clause !
I know, I know, it’s pretty hard to believe. But it’s true… Mrs. Clause interviewed me!! No kidding.
And… She made me an Honorary Elf!!!
You can check out Mrs. Clause and all of her unique gifts of […]

Firewalking!

My family had a grand adventure just this past weekend. We went firewalking. Yep, that’s right… FIREWALKING!
We had done this a couple times before, but it had been awhile. So we were eager to reunite in the loving energy of the incredible Fire Master, John Maisel, of Eagle-Heart. I was tempted to write much about […]

Myanmar, And China

I usually give away a dollar every day, and most often anonymously. But my family and I have been watching the tragedy in Myanmar continue to grow larger by the day. Although I still gave away a dollar today, we felt that it was the right thing to do to make a donation […]

Do Women Give More Than Men?

I have just discovered something interesting…
First of all, Give Away A Dollar A Day is catching on! Folks are having a lot of fun with this, and quite a few are writing to me with their stories of positive, personal transformation, and with their own creative ideas for giving away!
But here’s the part that’s […]

The Gift Of Love

There’s one more person that I need to give to today…
Myself.
I realize, at first, that this may sound self-centered. But please, let me explain…
This morning, in meditation, I spoke very quietly, “how should I give today”? And here’s what I heard, “to me”.
But this wasn’t about giving a dollar to myself today. I was to […]

A Poem Of Inspiration

Here is an e-mail I received from Marie. I was so deeply touched by this, Thank You Marie!
Hi Todd,
I LOVE your idea of giving away a dollar a day and heard about it on the LOA radio show which I just listened to last week. I LOVE finding money myself and have a jar […]

First Flight

I think I’ve fallen in love again.
Only this time… It’s with a butterfly.

A few years ago, my wife planted a bush in our back yard that was purported to attract caterpillars and butterflies. Well this Spring, it attracted them alright!
Dozens of these little crawlies started appearing in April, so our whole family has been […]
