Annie’s Journal- by Annie Warner Donnelly
Hello Everyone. In 2012, Bob Goff wrote a book called, “Love Does”. His definition of love doesn’t stop at thoughts and feelings. He believes that love takes action!
Here’s an excerpt from www.bobgoff.com. “After practicing law for 25 years, then becoming the Honorary Consul to Uganda, Bob gave up his law firm to pursue writing and speaking full time … He is the author of the newly released New York Times (NYT) best-seller, “Undistracted” as well as the NYT bestselling books “Love Does”, “Everybody Always”, and “Dream Big” … He is the founder of “Love Does”—a nonprofit human rights organization operating in India, Uganda, Nepal, Somalia, Afghanistan, USA, Congo and Dominican Republic. He’s a lover of balloons, cake pops, and helping people pursue their big dreams.”
In the epilogue of “Love Does”, Bob wrote, “… what’s better than all of those stories (in the book) are the stories you’re continuing to write with your life. If you’re like me, I’d ask myself at the end of a book called, “Love Does” –‘so what do I do?’ It can be a tough question to answer, honestly, but it can also be an easy one … for most of us it can be as easy as picking up the phone, sending an email, writing a letter, buying a plane ticket, or just showing up. After that, things start happening. Things that perhaps have God’s fingerprints on them. You’ll know which ones do and which ones don’t. Pick the ones that do. What’s your next step? I don’t know for sure because everyone is different, but I bet it involves choosing something that already lights you up. Something you already think is beautiful or lasting and meaningful. Pick something you aren’t just able to do; instead, pick something you feel you were made to do and then do lots of that.”
Bob Goff isn’t your everyday author. His passion is people so every book he writes ends with his personal invitation to give him a call (619.985.4747) if you want to speak to him about something. Yes, in Bob Goff’s life, love does! Amen.
