Yesterday morning, on my way to the airport to pick up an associate, I saw a homeless man on a street corner. He had that typical look about him, from the tattered shoes to the hand written sign thrown together from the bottom of a worn out cardboard box. Little did I know that […]
My wife, Victoria, reminded me of a sweet story from a few years ago…
Our youngest daughter had made some money from doing chores, and from acting in a play at Houston’s Broadway class theatre, The Alley Theatre. At that time, her older sister was just starting out as a young adult and was having some […]
I am having such a blast with this!… I posted an article awhile back about taking a $10 bill and “burying” it in my stack of $1’s that I draw from every day for giving away. So it ended up being a complete surprise to me as to which day I was going […]

Joan is a good friend who shared an amazing story with me about giving…
In August of 2007, when I was working all day - day after day - on my “non working virtual art room web site”, I received an enthusiastic phone call from a lady who said she had visited my web site, […]

OK, so I had some old musical gear lying around, gathering dust, that I wasn’t using anymore. It was high time to take good use of Ebay, so that this stuff would find a good, new home!
But here’s where the fun began - one of the items sold was going to Canada.
Now, I’ve shipped […]

I have been assigned a parking space in the garage where my office is. It’s really new, so I’ve only experienced parking there over the last couple days. However…
The driver in the spot to the left just seems to be one of those who either has acute astigmatism, severe cranial malfunction, or simply has it […]

Guess what? Today is my wife’s birthday. As part of the celebration, I wanted to do something a little different in my give away today. I wanted to personally make a “stretch”.
In her honor, and for the first time ever, I gave away a Ten Dollar Bill!
Now, I have to tell ya… This was really […]

My wife, Victoria, spontaneously gave away a dollar to a kind, little ol’ homeless man yesterday. She was so thrilled to tell me about it when she got home, because she said, right after her, another man reached into his pocket to give the same man a dollar. As she walked away, she even thought […]

I was just driving to an appointment when a really fun thing happened.
I had my dollar out on the seat, because I was planning to give it away in the lobby of the office where I was going. On the way there, I pulled up to a stop light and noticed a homeless person over […]

I was at The Alley Theatre today, supporting my daughter in one of her Matinee performances in the play, A Christmas Carol.
I had already given away my dollar for the day, when I found myself outside the stage door, leaving a voice mail for my wife. A homeless man approached me. I felt just a […]

I am attending Pat O’Bryan’s UnSeminar 4 in Austin, TX. Like the name implies, this fantastic event is much, much more than just another seminar - it is a unique collection of like-minded individual with great ideas, and with the added bonus of each of them wanting to really make a positive difference in the […]

Yahoooo!!!!!!
Victoria is starting to Give Away A Dollar A Day!!!
She just told me a story about a homeless person she was giving a dollar to each time she took our daughter downtown for play rehearsal. This sweet little old man with no teeth was standing on the street corner each time she drove by, obviously […]

This has been a real fun one!!!
On Monday, October the 22nd, I left a dollar bill out in the open at the office where I work. There are around 100 people in our office, so I knew someone was bound to find it and soon. I put it under an open bottle of water that […]

One of my personal “guidelines” in Give Away A Dollar A Day is that I do it in such a way that no one sees me doing it. This way, it becomes an exciting surprise to whoever finds it!
So today, we were at the Houston Museum, just leaving a magnificent show at the IMAX Theatre. […]

I was eating lunch in Pappa’s BBQ earlier today, and covertly left a dollar on the seat next to me. After finishing my scrumptious chopped beef basket, I pushed my chair away from the table and got up to leave. The lady who was bussing the tables hollered at me from across the restaurant saying, […]
