(Almost) Caught In The Candy Jar

Just the other day, I had my dollar in my hand, itchin’ to plant it somewhere for someone to find… In the reception area of our office, the gals at the front desk always keep a dish stocked with candies and chocolates for visitors and tenants. So I began rummaging through the chocolates, pretending to [...]

A Personal Story

Here’s a story I wrote for a contest put on by True North Snacks. I hope that this true and personal story will inspire folks who feel fear and uncertainty about the current global economic situation. In mid 2007, I was in prayer one morning with a question on my mind. Three years prior, I had [...]

A Different Christmas Poem

I’m for peace, not war. In fact, I don’t really even understand war, or why we think we must fight in the first place, because there is never a positive outcome. Nonetheless, there are the men and the women who make the greatest possible sacrifice to serve… And I believe that THESE are the real [...]

Unconditional Love

I’ve learned so much from Give Away A Dollar A Day. And I am coming to understand that its lasting and graceful lesson is that giving, in it’s truest and purest form, is unconditional. Now most often, when we hear the word “unconditional”, we think of love… And I can think of no better example [...]

Banish The Blahs

Unconditional Giving Begins At Home

I wonder if I’m alone in this… Many times throughout my life, I have had grand ideas of making a difference in the world. I’ve published web sites and spread the word about global prayer. I have spoken to congregations about creating positive change. I write this blog, and the weekly Inspirations From Give Away [...]

A Personal Bailout

With all of the talks of bailouts and the news of fear around the global economic situation, I wanted to share something with you from a personal experience. In July of last year, 2007, I was meditating one morning with a question on my mind, a question for Spirit. Three years prior, I had made [...]

I Ain’t Touchin’ It

So I was with a couple of team members of my company that were in from out of town. We were in our customer’s lobby getting ready for the next meeting. I had to take a quick bathroom break. I hadn’t given away my dollar yet, so I decided to place it inside of the [...]

Learning Experiences

When I first started to Give Away A Dollar A Day, I journaled on what I was doing, how I was doing it, and what I was experiencing. I recently ran across some of those notes that I wrote early on about what I was learning along the way. I thought that it might be [...]

Forgiveness

In my meditation this morning, I was practicing Ho’opanopano – an ancient prayer consisting of, “I’m sorry, please forgive me, thank you, and I love you” – all spoken with humility and deep love to The Divine. When I got to the second part, “please forgive me”, I was surprised at what I found. In [...]
