#BEMORE ~ 77 secrets to your powerful life 

BEMORE

Sandi Krakowski has put a lifetime of wisdom into a little book that will rock your world…if you read in, internalize it and ACT on what you learn.

Let me ask you a question first.  Have you ever wanted to #BEMORE:

Connected to God?

In tune with yourself?

Attentive to your relationships?

Engaged with your community?

Mindful of your world? 

If so, then this book is exactly what you are looking for.  Sandi builds out these five areas as she lays foundational truth in #BEMORE.  Consider it your handbook to a better life.

Have you thought about your life’s journey and what you are assigned and uniquely designed to do while you are here on earth?  Sandi opens with, “Our journey to being more STARTS with being more connected to God.”

“Do you believe He created you for something special or do you doubt He cares about you to make an effort?  Do you trust that He will answer your prayers and be there for you or do you wonder if He is even real?” Sandi asks.

Have you ever prayed and expected an immediate answer?  Yea, me, too…

Sandi sets an expectation for us that we will encounter obstacles and resistance as we step into the greatness God designed for us, each one of us.  However, when we anticipate resistance and are PREPARED to move through it, we can #BEMORE.

[Tweet ““PRAY! ASK! Then give God time to answer.” Thank you for this reminder @SandiKrawkowski.”]

To be more in tune with yourself, Sandi reminds us that it “is essential for discovering where you are in this journey and where you need to go to reach your potential.”  She walks us through thought provoking statements of the positive and negative aspects of life to equip us to look inward and GROW.

“What are we in life without our relationships?” Sandi queries. Have you found this to be true in your life?  I certainly have.  I also realized that things get broken, discarded or replaced, yet people matter.  And each one of us must nurture the relationships of those who matter most to us.

To become more engaged with our community, Sandi reminds us “it takes a whole village to raise a child.”  This statement is an old African adage that addresses the need for cooperation amongst each member of society.  We have a special part to play and we are not designed to do everything alone as we step into the great benefits and fulfill our responsibilities within our community to #BEMORE.

[Tweet “Quit living as if your purpose is just to arrive safely at death. #BEMORE! @SandiKrakowski”]

Ok, I can honestly say that statement got my attention…arrive safely at death??? God forbid I limit myself to living within that box.  You too?  We are designed for a purpose and I want to #BEMORE, to contribute to the world, to make a difference in every life God wants me to impact in my lifetime, not to arrive safely at death.

[Tweet “Sandi reminds us to “think globally, act locally.” I concur.”]

I accept Sandi Krakowski’s challenge to #BEMORE.  Join me and the #BEMORE Movement…it’s people like you and me who are stepping up to the challenge to better their life.  READY?

Oh, by the way, Sandi donated TWO books for gifts to you, my readers!  Please leave a comment sharing why you would like to read #BEMORE or who you would give #BEMORE to.  I will select the TWO WINNERS on April 26. I hope you win!

  2. I have hummed and hawed about Sandi’s book but now I think I’m adding it to my must reads, thanks Susan! And if I haven’t had a chance to tell you, I think your own book newly out looks amazing! So that’s two books I need to get a hustle on.
    Blessings on your weekend, glad to be your neighbour over at #wordsofcomfort this Saturday 🙂

    1. Christine, honored to be your neighbor! #BEMORE is an easy read that matters. I also honored my book is on your top 2 to read! Sweet! And thank you

  3. Pick me! Pick me! 🙂
    I would LOVE to read this book after discovering Sandi on Twitter. She’s so motivating and inspirational. I love her wild hair. It would be my pleasure to host another cutting edge SOLO cup book drawing for the 2nd copy of #BEMORE.
    Oh, yeah…I made it to the #DanceWithJesus linkup, too!
    Love you, my magnetic, bubbly, beautiful friend.

  5. “PRAY! ASK! Then give God time to answer.” Thank you for this reminder @SandiKrawkowski.

    Love this so much. Thank you, Susan and Sandy for sharing! “Be More” sounds extraordinary- I’d be honored to win a copy!

  6. It seems like an easy question to answer-do you want to be more until she throws in are you just living to arrive safely at death??? Wow! I would love a copy of Be More because my goal in retirement is to do just that. I feel like I am on the edge of so much more and God has been prompting me that this is true. Thank you for sharing Sandi’s book and for this beautiful linkup. Happy weekend!

  8. Susan,
    I could definitely benefit from reading #bemore. I limit God and box him in with my small thinking. I have been unable to get to the root of why I am afraid to dream big dreams. My motto for this year is “Do Life Big” but everytime I even think about that, I scale back. I’m come to accept lies from the enemy. I’m praying for the breakthrough to #bemore and live up to my full potential.

    1. Tyra, you are worth His love, His light, His BIG DESTINY for you. It’s not about being more for you. It’s about being more of what HE Made you to be. It’s for HIS glory that we let His light shine…in U.S. #BEMORE. Yes ma’am. Live into or into? Step, stumble, move. Whatever, just go into it!

  11. Live and act globally — that’s a cry of my heart. Live bigger than your own circumstances. Think bigger than your own culture. Look beyond your own world. Love this, Susan. Love you.

    1. Oh Suzie, you just expanded my view on those words. Thank you and I love you too, my sweet friend. I will never forget how welcome you made me feel at my very first SheSpeaks, Suzie. Thank you for that!

  13. Love this! Be more- fill the earth – and make a difference. Your words are beautifully written and inspiring. Gonna go read the book…. 🙂 Thank you.

  14. Susan,

    Such great truth here! I really appreciate the call out which says:

    “Do you believe He created you for something special or do you doubt He cares about you to make an effort? Do you trust that He will answer your prayers and be there for you or do you wonder if He is even real?” Sandi asks.

    So good and so true. Thank you! Stopping by from #FindStability link-up.

  15. Quit living as if your purpose is just to arrive safely at death. #BEMORE! @SandiKrakowski OH MY GOODNESS. I’ve never thought of this before. I’m so convicted right now.
    I’ve been in a place of finding my path lately. I’ve been a SAHM for 7.5 years, and I have about 2 more years to go. Then what? I need to find my passion and purpose! I will have to get my hands on this book. It sounds wonderful!

  16. This sounds like a wonderful book. “We will encounter obstacles and resistance as we step into the greatness God designed for us, each one of us. However, when we anticipate resistance and are PREPARED to move through it, we can be more.” I would love to read the book so as to be more prepared to move through & be all that He would have me to be.

  20. Well, I would love this book #BeMore, why? because I know that God created to what He wanted me to be. I need to be more of Him and less me. That way I can shine and light others to follow Him. It’s good to have tools and receive knowledge first and then impact those around me! Great Review! Susan.

    Blessings,

    1. Tayrina, yes ma’am! He wants us to be what He designed us to be. That means we must step into that…faithfully. That’s when I must learn to put my thoughts aside and LISTEN to my KING! You too?!

  21. Susan, thanks for posting about this book! I think we all have the desire to #BEMORE. You are a great reviewer dear friend! Cheering you on from the #RaRalinkup on Purposeful Faith.

    1. Thank you Kelly. Sandi is “the real deal” which is so good for us to know and support!

      I love being included in #Raralinkup! Thanks for doing it and fostering community Kelly.

  22. Great truths, Susan! I love Sandi. I love her power for encouragement! I truly believe, “Our journey to being more STARTS with being more connected to God.” That’s where “Being More” begins and ends. To know Him, to hear Him, to be healed and nurtured by Him! Thanks again.

    Blessings,

  23. Sounds like a wonderful and practical book. I resonated strongly with this – “…we will encounter obstacles and resistance as we step into the greatness God designed for us”. I have sensed God confirming that He has a unique plan to redeem my brokenness for good – not only for my benefit, but also for the good of many others who need His healing touch in their lives. The journey is challenging beyond words, but I am excited to see what God has in store in the days to come!

    Many blessings,
    Kamea

  24. ” And each one of us must nurture the relationships of those who matter most to us.” Oh, how true this is! This book sounds like it would be really helpful. I love her idea that our thinking must be global while we do what we can in our local areas. I’d love to read the book!
