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 [...]
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 [...]
This one’s from my new friend, France, and it’s a great story about finding money! Something cute happened that you might like to include in your writings sometime: last week I was helping a friend moving stuff out of his barn. Upon enterering the barn, I found 1¢ at the entrance. Inside the barn, I [...]
One of the most fun places I’ve ever given away a dollar is at our local Marble Slab Creamery Ice Cream Store. In fact, I’ve even included it in one my weekly e-mails that I send out, Inspirations From Give Away A Dollar A Day. I received such joy the first time I did it [...]
A couple weeks ago, I subscribed to a daily e-mail that two very good friend of mine have created. It’s called Today’s Mantra, and it’s from Mr. 2020 and Carol Wingert. Here’s the one that arrived on the morning of the Fourth – Today’s Mantra is, “Celebrate!” I almost wanted to write “Celebright!”. I know [...]
My good friend, John Crewdson, replied to an e-mail I sent where I asked about any challenges he might be having with every day giving. Here’s his reply: Todd, I must admit, I’ve been pretty lax about giving away a dollar a day. I just re-listened to a Hypnotic Gold Interview with Rabbi Lapin on [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
I had lunch at a Chinese food restaurant yesterday. PF Changs to be exact… Pretty good food, I must say! And I loved the fortune inside the cookie. It says it all and needs no explanation!! Blessings to you, and happy cookie eating, too! Todd
