This is is a 3rd read in preparation for a colloquium I'm leading tomorrow. It's a book with excellent subject matter (listening for those promptings to do things for others) and mediocre execution.
I was inspired to buy this book yesterday by listening to a woman speak about it at an educational conference.
I have to say how disappointed I am! Sure, the message is good, but it was badly said.
The message boils down to following the Spirit, or your conscience, or whatever you want to call it, which we all could do more of, but it wasn't put together in a powerful or even meaningful way. In fact, some of the "stories" didn't *say* anything at all and were so badly put together I couldn't stick with reading them. I know it must be hard to take someone's spoken word and create a segment or point out of it, but the "I was like, darn, ..." and other meaningless parts of speech were so distracting.
So not worth my 16.03. Again, the message is worthwhile, but it needed some major cleaning up.
This is my fourth or fifth time through this one and I am glad to have it as part of my library and I use some of the stories but I do wish that it had been edited and cleaned up more professionally. The idea is a quality one as well and so I will keep spreading the word and sharing this one with others.
This was a good basic read. This book emphasizes the power of saying, going, being and doing the the impressions that come to our mind. Think of the hymn "I'll Go Where You Want Me to Go" and that sums it up.
There was certainly nothing new or profound in this book for me, but it did reawaken a desire to make sure I'm doing a better job with following those impressions that come from a higher source. I know that I let a lot of impressions go by the wayside everyday because I'm to busy. **rolling my eyes at myself** I'm more committed now to do the right thing every time. Here this famous quote applies, "We live far below our privileges."
Here's a quote from the book that I like by Rachel DeMille, "All we have to do to get this process flowing is to do the one next right thing....the most meaningful thing is the next right thing. The thing I should do right now.....then there is no difference between the small and the large ones. They are all the same-the right thing." (82-83)
My blog has an invitation to anyone who wants to take the SAYGOBEDO challenge with me. I really needed this little book. (I am finding a lot of guidance from little books this month.) I can't begin to say how many times I have ignored an impression to do something or said I'd do it later only to forget. It's been the story of my life. I wonder what I've missed out on... but at the same time, I have to start where I am now and move forward from here not looking back at the pass. I can certainly learn.
Who will take the 30 day blog challenge with me???
This book is a very easy and quick read, but it's message is wonderful. It is a great reminder to listen to the little "feelings" we get and to "never" ignore them. She gives a profound story shared to her by her dad that helps to instill in us the importance of always resonding to our "Saygobedo's". Tiffany issues a challange to start a blog of our expeirences. If any of you are interested, who has read this book, maybe we could get together! That would be great!
I loved this book! I read it at just the right time for me. As I apply what I have learned, my life has opened up to more joy in my days. It is an adventure to see what comes next. This book gave me the courage to follow the impressions I had each day. Thank you!
This book tells of an amazingly powerful concept--to take action on the inspirations we receive. The examples shared are memorable and the 30 day challenge is potentially life-changing and empowering.
A quick read with some good insights. It caused me to study Master the Tempes is Raging with more insight and Say Go Be Do has since become our family motto. Not an earth shattering read, but a worthwile one.
This book was sooo good! I read it for YFF this year and I can see why... it made me realize that all of the random thoughts that pop into my head are supposed to be acted upon and not put off.
I enjoyed this short little book. It wasn't really anything 'new', but the challenge at the end is something that I think will really help me to say focused.
