Which, in turn, has an unexpected benefit for YOU?
Well...for me, the answer goes like this:
While visiting Utah last week, I made MANY visits to Deseret Book (you MUST check out their new Flagship Store in Downtown Salt Lake!
On one of those visits, I purchased the book,
Driven An Autobiography by Larry H Miller with
Doug Robinson.
Within a few minutes, there was an e-mail alert on my Blackberry.
The email was from my dad asking me to pick up the new book about Larry H Miller!
I replied....Done!
SCORE!
Now here there are TWO UNEXPECTED BENEFITS of this Father's Day gift:
1) I read and LOVED this book (even read it in front of my dad-so no surprises from this direction). Seriously LOVED it. I did not realize how far- reaching Larry H Miller's influence was because he came on to the scene in Utah the year Ron and I left Salt Lake. I knew of SOME of his projects, however, I had NO CLUE how many corners of Utah (no pun intended) Larry touched and changed FOR THE BETTER. I totally "get" this man. I understand him and adore his wife, Gail.
2) My Project 50/50 is back on the front burner..not because I am now home but because of this message Larry did NOT print, but I got.....LOUD AND CLEAR: If Larry's health had been better...HE WOULD STILL BE AROUND CHANGING AND TOUCHING LIVES. Please note that I gleaned many uplifting messages from this book, however, the one about health was very unexpected, yet timely for me.
I got the message so clearly that yesterday, I went to my Doctor and today I am having some Blood Work and Tests.
I recommend reading this book even if you are not a sports fan,
don't live in Utah, are not a Mormon, are not a man, etc.
I promise....you will be a better person after you read this book.
Have you read this????
What are you getting your dad for Father's Day???
