I just have to tell you about Cheryl Paton.
I’m not sure how long she had been giving away a dollar a day, but she decided that she wanted to spice it up a bit by including some gift cards with each one of her give aways.
Cheryl’s an artist, and a really good one at that! You can see how Divine Inspiration comes through in all of the beautiful products she creates!
You absolutely must check these gift cards out!!
Thank you, Cheryl, for your gifts of creativity!
Blessings,
Todd
Tracy Brown sent me this list. I absolutely L O V E this! Thank you Tracy!!

I’ve been wanting to post this one for a while!
From time to time, if no one is looking, I’ll take a picture of the dollar that I’ve just given away. So here are some shots for you – some creative ideas for giving away!
This if one of my all time favorites! …pretty easy to tell what it is!
Ah, the ol’ dollar-in-the-elevator trick!
Here’s one that I tried to slip underneath the cover of a copying machine, but someone kept taking it out and putting it up on the mail counter at our office!!
You’ve got to look close at this one – it’s a one dollar US coin sitting on top of an ATM machine. Here in the US, we rarely use these for money, opting instead for our familiar bills. But when I heard about my Canadian friends giving away “Loonies”, I just had to get in on some of the coin action and try it out!
Patiently waiting, on the lunch marquee of one our nearby deli’s, for the next unsuspecting recipient…
And last but certainly not least, strategically positioned at the parking lot security gate!
Blessings!

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 that’s not a word, but maybe it would be a great twist to Today’s Mantra.
Allow your personal celebration of freedom and liberty to brighten up your day. I was watching Carol yesterday photograph baby geese. It was amazing, she literally glowed.
She was like a little girl, celebrating life. The geese too were just having a great time, celebrating and enjoying being alive.
I think the magic key to celebrating is to notice that the world does seem brighter, when you decide to be thankful, and “celebright”.
This one in particularl grabbed me, because it reminded me of the many times that I feel like a little kid when I give away a dollar a day! Oh yes, there’s that “parental” part of me that says I shouldn’t be acting like this, behaving all child-like in public. Oh no, no, no…
But, there’s that authentic part of me that says that this is exactly what I should be doing in the moment that I’m doing it!!
So the next time you give away, remember to Celebrate, and to Celebright!!!
Blessings!
Todd

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 his book “Thou Shall Prosper”. He described how we need to give money away to create channels for money to flow to us. He described it as us drilling holes in our shell so we could connect with the world around us – one of the ways to connect is by creating money channels that flow both ways.
Needless to say I am now re-energized and focused on Give Away A Dollar A Day.
Thanks for asking,
John
Thank you John! This is incredible insight!!
Blessings to you John, in all that you do and with everyone you inspire!!
Todd
PS – John is a Tai Chi Master, and a really good one at that! Check out John’s web site!!!
Evidence that Give Away a Dollar a Day has prehistoric, possibly alien, origins:
Researchers in Southwest Pennsylvania have uncovered proof that Todd Silva’s Give Away a Dollar a Day predates not only Todd Silva, but all of mankind.
The attached photo is absolute proof, according to Mr. Twenty Twenty – a professional visionary from the region, that aliens started giving away dollars over 4 million years ago.
Local photographer, Carol J. Wingert, was brought to tears when she spotted what she now calls “his pink holiness”. Carol believes that this only living dinosaur must be a very holy dinosaur, representing the immortality that is possible if one just practices giving, and engages in Radical Gratitude.
More details will be released as they are declassified…
PS – This is an actual news flash written by Mr. Twenty Twenty…
Hey… I’m only reporting it as it was written……
Check out this beautiful, hand-crafted gift that my wife, Victoria, made for me for Father’s Day! I’ll tell ya, she is an incredibly gifted and talented artist!
Thank you, ma’am!
I love you!!!
Todd

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 wasn’t much different – “C’mon now Todd, you’re a grown man, and you’re still hiding dollars for people to find… What’s wrong with you? You’re acting like a little kid…”
I mentioned this to my wife later on.
Thank goodness for her refreshing insight! She reminded me what many of the great books and sages have said, “Be like a child”. And that children naturally do what so many of us adults have to work hard to do because we’ve forgotten – trust.
Thank you, Victoria, for reminding me. And for helping me to renew my commitment to the joyful excitement of Give Away A Dollar A Day, which has such remarkable effects for anyone of any age!
Blessings to you,
Todd
I was in our local CVS Store, shopping for a birthday card for my nephew, Mark. He’s a young man who continues to inspire me with his belief in his own dreams, and who is now a successful car designer because he never stopped believing! So I knew I wanted to get him an uplifting, can-do kind of card.
I don’t think I was even in the card section for two seconds when I spotted this keeper…
I bought it right away, but…
I couldn’t yet leave the store because I hadn’t given away my dollar for the day. And this is where the fun really started…
Whenever I Give Away A Dollar A Day, I usually leave… well… a dollar! But e v e r y once in a while, I go for the stretch and leave a little more. This was one of those days… I left ten dollars!
But I got especially creative on this go-around. I had taken out ten ones beforehand, rolled them up tight, and rubber banded them together. So right before I left the card aisle, I put that roll inside of one of the Be Do Dream Thrive cards that was still up on the shelf.
So the next person to buy one of these inspirational cards…? Ooh yeah!!!!!
I love giving! And I am so grateful to be able to do it, every day!
Blessings,
Todd
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 self-improvement and how to GET more out of life.
I then went into my daughter’s room to look for a particular book I had remembered was filled with such joy and inspiration, “Life’s Little Instruction Book”. I couldn’t find that particular one, but what I found instead were plenty of books of imagination and where she could GO in life.
Wow! Kids are such an incredible blessing!!

This is kind of a give away idea, because it’s what I did recently when I went to the bank to “refill” my give away envelope! (where I store all my soon-to-be gifts )
Here’s what I do – I usually get thirty $1′s for the whole month ahead. Lately, though, I’ve been having some fun adding a single $10 to my stockpile so that, on one day of giving away, I’ll be giving away a $10!!
Well, today was even more magical! I got twenty $1′s, and I got that $10. But I also got ten $1 coins. This was inspired by my friends Marie and Sharon in Canada and Jenny in Ireland, because they give away coins and not paper bills. I decided I wanted to give it try and see what it’s like giving away coins! I’ll report back on that later…
But I did one more thing at the bank… I got ten more $1′s, and curled them up and bound them with a rubber band. So whoever finds this bundle will really be surprised when they unwrap the rubber band to find not one… and not two… but ten $1 bills!
Thank you Spirit, for this most blessed and magical gift of giving!
Blessings,
Todd
