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 interesting… Most of the ones writing to me are women.
What I don’t know is exactly how many men are giving away every day vs. how many women. But if the feedback I’m receiving is any indication, there just aren’t as many men who Give Away A Dollar A Day.
Which leads me to a very simple question…
Why?……
…Guys?
Blessings all,
Todd

I don’t think it’s that men aren’t doing this. My own experience is that a majority of the women that I know seem to be much better about staying in touch with others.
When I started this out, I would write you frequently, but I must admit, I haven’t posted anything in a while (I’m a guy, BTW). Those postings were already a bit of a new experience for me. Maybe it’s a cultural American thing. I think a lot of guys tend to get this loner kick. This idea that it is better to do things alone. I’m coming out of that thinking, but I must admit, some of the old habits can be difficult to shake sometimes.
Anyway, it may be that plenty of guys are giving away a dollar a day, and are simply not sharing their experiences.
Later
Thank you Chris, and good to hear from you! You’ve made some great points there that I’m pondering on.
Blessings to you and yours,
Todd
Wonderful to meet you Todd and apologies for being far behind in my emails, however I would like to present my idea of your question in the shortest possible way…In the deepest corner of my heart, I understand there are many `intended` differences between male and female – we both are here to do different things. With males it is deeply ingrained within their psyche that they outwardly present and identify themselves with all the `remain strong – take action and – get the job done`image (which, by the way is just one of the reasons why females are attracted to males) over time, they have learned to remain un-attatched to the emotional outcome in order to achieve the objective. Although women strive to emulate the same but are not as successfull (have you noticed how we females are often labelled as being `too emotional`?) I believe, is to a large degree that of the totally overwhelming connection to the absolute preciousness and miracle of `GIVING` birth, those tears of joy immediately after the delivery of a new life into this world is nothing less than a deep-core spiritual connection with OUR CREATOR and the magnificence of man and woman emulating HIM errr… or HER, lol – Lane (62 yr young Grandmother of Four).
Hi Lane,
Wow… Your post has really stirred me. I think you are right on target! I’ve had many conversations with my wife about child bearing, and how men would change if we carried and gave birth to new life. I think you’re right, we would reach outward more, and would probably give back more. And the possibilities from that are endless!! Thank you Lane, for suchloving insight.
Blessings to you and your family,
Todd
