I had a little say go be do moment this morning. I love it when that happens! I was locking up my house and turning the lights out, ready to bike to work. I found myself downstairs, in the basement with my backpack hanging from my shoulders, staring at the basement door that leads to the backyard. Why? I was supposed to lock it. I was leaving for work, would not be there at all during the day, and I was supposed to lock it! Something within me said that I shouldn't. I went against my better judgment and did not lock it. This incident was immediately forgotten and I went on my merry way to work. When I got there, I opened everything up and turned everything on. I went into an unused office and discovered, to my dismay, that I had forgotten my business clothes! Oh no! I was wearing an old "Stephen's College" sweatshirt, some flip-flops, and a pair of jeans - definitely NOT proper attire for a receptionist. I sat down at my desk, turned on my computer, and didn't know what to do. I called my friend to see if she could bring me some clothes, but was told that she had already left and was at school. I remembered that another friend was coming to my work that morning to read for an hour with me. I asked him if he could possibly stop by my house to pick up some clothes. He asked, "How am I supposed to get in?" That was when I remembered the back door. THAT was why I didn't lock it! Oh the joy! A few minutes later, I was dressed in proper attire, ready for a great day of work! I am so grateful for little promptings like that, and wonderful friends! Have a FABULOUS day, everyone!
Recording went great! Had a blast! I'm almost to the end of one of my biggest SayGoBeDo's ever! What started as simply an idea 3 months ago has turned into 8 tracks recorded on a beautiful piano. Two more tracks to record on thursday and I'll be set to go! I feel so good because i've accomplished a huge goal for this summer.
Wow!! I have had such a fabulous day! I didn't realize it was a Say-Go-Be-Do until later today. Last night, I realized I had planned a lunch a week ago with a couple roommates of mine, and a friend from St. George who was in Salt Lake City for the day. I was overwhelmed, I knew it was going to take a chunk out of my day, and I had work! I didn't think I would be able to do it, and I knew it was all on me whether we got together or not. I was about to cancel it, but I got a impression that I shouldn't, So I called the girls, we planned to meet on temple square for lunch and I asked for work off a couple hours today.
The outcome was exactly what I needed today! I haven't laughed as hard as I did today with those girls than I have in a long long time, and for me, thats saying alot, because I laugh all the time. Everything we talked about and laughed to tears about helped me find confirmation on what direction I was going and it was a reminder to me of who I was, I am happy, full of laughter, life and love! It helped me remember my goals, and what I want to do. Its always nice to get a boost and a reminder. I was so happy I made it work, and for an extra plus, Temple Square is SO beautiful right now, the gardens are in full bloom, and the day was warm and sunny. It was such a plus! I love LIFE! And I love Say-Go-Be-Do's. I have more I'm going to go add to my Gratitudes today. It just makes me wonder... why would anyone want to live un-happily when being happy feels this great!! :D
While weeding in the garden today, a flood of memories came rushing back of a not-so-happy time in my life. I recalled some difficult experiences my family went through years back, and pondered how it was that we even made it through them all. As I thought of all this, an overwhelming feeling of gratitude came over me for my Mom. During those hard times, she continued on with life. She continued to raise her family. Though I can't really explain what I felt today, I know I most definitely have a better appreciation for my mother, and I am so grateful to have her in my life! She is an amazing woman - strong, stalwart, sweet, an angel! Thank you Mom! You are the greatest!
Today has been a gloriously refreshing day. I went to Temple Square, the religious center for my church, and had literally dozens of powerful Say Go Be Do experiences, both for myself and for other people. For instance:
I arrived around noon and felt I should immediately jump out of my car, even though I was going to finish my lunch first. I saw an old family friend just walking by, who I would have completely missed had I hesitated. He and I had a wonderful conversation, and caught up on what he is doing.
While waiting to see a film on the Square, I sat down next to some people and was having a good conversation with them when we began to go into the theater. Instead of sitting by my new friends, however, I felt that I should sit by another woman who was sitting by herself on the row behind. I found out this woman was from California, and had only come to Utah to see Temple Square since she had been investigating my religion and was planning on joining in a couple of weeks. We had a good talk, and I walked her over to see another film. She touched my life with her simple faith, and she said hers was changed as well by just interacting with me.
Some of the missionaries on the Square came up to me and shared messages that were exactly what I needed, in the progression I needed them. This happened not once or twice, but probably half a dozen times.
I had a feeling that I should go say something to one of the missionaries about how much I appreciate the work she is doing and that I know all things will work out for her. I had no idea what was going on, but when I said those things, tears came to her eyes, and she thanked me profusely.
Instead of allowing a dear friend who I'd met up with on the square to take the public transit system back to where she needed to be, I felt like I should drive her in my car. As I did, she received a call from her brother, who just found out he has a serious illness. I sat with my friend for a long time, just being there and helping her as she adjusted to the news. I don't know what she would have done if I had not followed the impression to drive her, and instead the news had come while she was alone, especially since she is a distance away from her family.
I know I have now talked your ears (or rather "written your eyes":) off, but I just want to add a resounding testimony that Say Go Be Do's are real, and that the closer we come to their divine Source, the better they become!
