My family includes two indoor miniature schnauzers and one big old 'heinz 57' yard dog. I feel your pain of loss. I also greatly appreciate your insight in allowing this event to help you investigate your feelings about death and dying. As I have just embraced the ripe age of 53, I consider my own mortality. And you make a great point. I'm not afraid as much as I simply don't want to go. I want to live more and be more and give more and love more. I guess that means I need to get busy. Thank you for giving me a space to consider my own feelings. Be blessed, Todd. You deserve it, because you are certainly a blessing to me and many, many others. Buz Todd,

I also greatly appreciate your insight in allowing this event to help you investigate your feelings about death and dying. As I have just embraced the ripe age of 53, I consider my own mortality. And you make a great point. I’m not afraid as much as I simply don’t want to go. I want to live more and be more and give more and love more. I guess that means I need to get busy.

Thank you for giving me a space to consider my own feelings. Be blessed, Todd. You deserve it, because you are certainly a blessing to me and many, many others.

I am finding that each day gets a little easier, but I do still have an emptiness inside. I really like what you said about her waking up in heaven on Christmas morning. That feels good to know that. Blessings to you, Todd Hi Jeanne,

Thank you for your thoughts. I am finding that each day gets a little easier, but I do still have an emptiness inside. I really like what you said about her waking up in heaven on Christmas morning. That feels good to know that.

It'll take awhile before you understand the complexity of the feelings. For now, just allow them to "be". It is sad that Licorice left you. Just think, though—he woke up in Heaven on Christmas Morning. Kind of a miraculous place to be on that very important day. I’m so sorry to hear about Licorice.

Your stories about GAADAD are always really good, too. It reminded me of a trip I made to the post office yesterday... I "hid" my dollar in a corner of the glass of the self-serve postage machine. I remained curious while waiting in the main line to ship my parcel. Finally... a well meaning soul brought the dollar back into one of the postal workers and said, "someone left this". The worker took it, looked at it and fiddled around with it... she couldn't put it in her cash drawer because it would upset the accounting. So after a couple minutes, she gave in and put it up on a stack of papers behind the workers. I ended up shipping my parcel, STILL curious as to which postal worker would eventually just give in, snag it, and put it in their pocket! Oh, Mark, if you want to hear the final version of that song that I sang to Rick in his car, you can listen here. I wrote and produced it, and Rick's sister is the singer on the track. http://sagetone.com/media/misc/The%20Waterfall%20Prayer,%20%28C%29%202009%20Sagetone%20Productions.mp3 Blessings to you, Todd Hi Mark,

Very cool :-) I did a talk on belief and perception last saturday and name dropped giveawayadollaraday. I hid pound coins around the building to add weight to my argument that our perception does not always allow us to SEE money. There are so many aspects to GAADAD. As always, thank you for the difference you make in the world. See you on Oprah :-) Best Mark Hi Todd;

I wanted to suggest that you donate things like cat litter or pet food to the local animal shelter or humane society. It's always appreciated by them and it feels good to you! ;-) I wanted to comment about your most recent Give A Dollar a day email that I just received regarding the passing of your friends’ pet.
