Massive Say Go Be Do the past few days.  Out of the blue I had a distinct feeling to call a good friend of mine who I haven't seen or talked to for over a year.  I wasn't even sure if he had the same number.  I called and texted, but didn't hear back for a bit, so assumed that it wasn't his. 

Lo and behold, it was his, and he had been having a hard time in exactly the same way I'd been feeling.  We've been conversing all day, and more good things are to come.  I am so glad I followed that impression!

Long story short, my amazing Geri friend followed what I'm sure was a Say Go Be Do and came to a party tonight - even though she was late.  I decided to tell her how my day really went, and we talked for more than an hour.  Exactly what I needed and had been praying for.  And, it opened the door to even more and more wonderful answers and inspiration after she left.  I cannot even begin to describe how important this evening was to me.

Love all ya'll so much! Can't wait for YFF!

The Education of Misbehaving Technology...

Today's experience was great, and again hilarious.  I was supposed to join an online class with my mentor this morning, but the internet cut out.  Long story short, I drove all over town trying to find it, only to find that my earpieces didn't work etc. etc.  When I got home I was feeling frustrated...

Add to that I've been super tired for the past couple of days and couldn't quite figure out why.  Well, by the time the class I'd been unable to attend ended, I'd decided that there must be a message in this for me.  I had a Say Go Be Do of sorts to journal about it.

Wow, good things!  I found the source and reason for all of this frustration.  I am so grateful, especially because now I feel fantastic, inside and out.  I'm close to the realization of so many of my goals, and starting out on some of the coolest things yet.  After writing down all the things that frustrated me, I had a small bonfire in the backyard to burn up the negative stuff, now I'm on to a wonderfully productive evening.

You all rock!

Potatoes

Today’s Say Go Be Do seems small, but it was profoundly instructive to me.

 

I was preparing potatoes to be baked in the oven when I had the thought that I should poke them to let the steam escape.  I’d been told in the past that if you don’t do this, the hot air in the potato will expand and might explode, so I’d done it pretty faithfully.  Today, I wondered if this was really the case, or if people were just making it up.  I thought “I bet that is just one of those cooking stories that happens every once in a while but that we all just obey because we’re “supposed to.”  

I finished washing the potatoes, and again had the thought to poke them.  It would take minimal effort to do so, but again I justified myself: “Good thing I know how to create so well.  I’ll just set the intention that they’ll be fine and they will be.”

Fast forward about an hour.  I was sitting on the couch having a lesson from my home teachers who were talking about how when we obey we gain more knowledge, until we eventually know all things.  All of the sudden, there was a “Pooof” sound from the oven.  I went over to see what was going on. 

You already know the end of the story.  Lo and behold, a potato I was baking actually HAD exploded all over my oven.  I’d thought for a bit that I “knew better” and that potatoes wouldn’t splat themselves all over the oven racks.  I was wrong.  

Which brings me to the lesson for today.  One of the biggest challenges I believe we face with Say Go Be Do’s is thinking that we know better, therefore we don’t have to follow our promptings.  In reality, the surest sign of our “knowledge” is that we really do obey.  Only by obedience to truth and promptings for good do we save ourselves from a lot of challenges – and messy ovens.  From now on, I choose to up my commitment to obedience and truth.  If I have a problem, I’m going to find the “commandments” or laws associated with that and obey them, because God’s laws always come first.  

Love you all!

Words are such beautiful things, even though they aren't perfect.

I am working on a SayGoBeDo right now.

My first today was to be at peace in this world.  I love it.

Today, my SayGoBeDo was to increase my value and have fun doing it.  To enjoy being a better person, because the transition can be hard at first.  To plow through the bales of hay in my way.  Haha.  Have a great day, everyone!

This evening I was again blessed by a good friend who followed her Say Go Be Do :).  I was feeling grumpy and anti-social, not because I really didn't want to be around people, but because I was trying to sort things out in my mind.  She and another friend invited me to dinner.  I turned them down because, well, I was feeling grumpy and anti-social. :)  Thank heavens they waited for me outside. I'm sure it was a Say Go Be Do even though they may not have recognized it at the time.  After a few excursions with fireflies and some fighting scorpions, I finally decided that I wanted to really be happy more than I wanted to be perfectly figured out.  I told them what was going on, had a fantastic dinner, and came home not only happier, but with the answer I was looking for.  Thanks Gerri :)
