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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 – [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 of unconditional [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 this meditation, [...]
When I began to give away a dollar a day back in the summer of 2007, I was in pretty rough shape financially. All (outer) indications said that I shouldn’t be doing this, because I didn’t have enough money to give away at the time. But I understood the deeper reasons why, and started doing [...]
Last night, I had a conversation with a friend who had just visited Israel on business. He was describing the ongoing tensions he had observed between the Jewish and the Palestinian peoples in the particular area he visited, and how the carrying of guns and weapons at any age is still commonplace. Afterward, I tried [...]
I work for a company whose headquarters are on Long Island. I was at there at a business conference, and, during a break, dropped my dollar by a copier in the customer service area on the 2nd floor.
I overheard two guys talking about it – did not see them, though, and didn’t know who they [...]
