"...holding yourself in high regard, knowing that you are an important and significant jewel in the crown of creation." I have fallen in love with myself all over again and can love those around me with fierce intensity. I read chapter six daily, it reminds me to be swept away by the wonderful feeling of love, love for myself and those around me.

I didn't want to do the activities when I read the book the first time, so I am taking my time now and re-reading the book and doing the activities. As I complete each chapter I feel as though I learn a bit more about myself and how I can better serve those I come in contact with on a daily basis. I must admit it took me a long time to get through the chapter on love, I kept re-reading it. I'd begin a new chapter and then go back and re-read love. Because I loved it so much.

How refreshing...finally a book that touches on the true nature of nurturing the soul...personally and universally. I recommend this book to all who seek to be free of the chains that daily life places around us. This book provides a way to stay in the center of the storm, rather than being tossed about with everyone else.

Wearing your soul on the outside seemed impossible when I started this book. I discovered this is a book to read, re-read and participate with. Living with the questions and doing the exercises made the stories in the book come alive. This will be a better world as more and more people make sacred promises to themselves and live from their passion and calling. I feel like I am learning from a gentle soul, as I sit and savor these words and practice them at my own pace. I am very grateful for this instruction book. I now know that my service does leave a footprint on this earth. Joan

This book helped me realize how I can make a difference in the world through the choices I make in my life every day. I loved the stories that illustrated how others are daring to wear their soul on the outside. Gloria's writing style is magical and very easy to follow. I read through the whole book... I didn't want to put it down! Now I want to go back through the book and complete the exercises. I really see the importance of wearing my soul on the outside and how I can help others do the same and be of service. If we all read and share this book, the world will be a better place!

Gloria Burgess' latest book, Dare to Wear Your Soul on the Outside, is expressly written for our times. She begins by telling us her father's moving personal story, and we all become empowered.

Gloria's father's experience is a testament to what so many of us know somewhere deeply inside: the power of our minds to create our dreams. Step by step, Gloria carries forward her father's inspiration by helping us discover our own visions and dreams and by giving us abundant ways to manifest them.

Throughout the book, she reminds us that by following our dreams, we achieve not only what is right for ourselves, but what is right for the world. If you work with the book, it will work on you

As a mother of five, writer, and farm wife I spend most of my time taking care of others instead of myself. We have all heard how important it is to love thy self first in order to be able to love others, but often find it hard to take the time to really do it. Dr. Burgess' book is a step-by-step manual to help you discover and understand the legacy you will leave mingled with rich writing and a beautiful legacy of herself and her family. Thank you, Dr. Burgess for sharing your story with the rest of us so that we may be able to better create our own!

Gloria Burgess writes from the heart and pierces your soul in the process. She speaks to that part of you that you want to nurture. Or revive. Her stories are her own, but as she tells them you can feel your stories being stirred in you. And all those stories--hers and yours--feed you and your courage to meet the world a little more honestly, a little more powerfully.

Gloria's brilliance shines forth in Dare to Wear Your Soul on the Outside! I was fortunate enough to have Gloria's wisdom imparted in-person as my instructor in grad school. She has a depth of creativity, ingenuity, passion, integrity and heart that are a rare find. I discovered this book a few months ago when I was at a crossroads in my life, and I found that the questions she asks, "What do I love doing so much that I lose all track of time?" and "When I get bored, what do I daydream about?" penetrated my whole being, and my soul began to speak to me in very direct ways. I heard messages from my intuitive self, and my dreams gave me very direct, concrete guidance about my next step. I believe that Gloria's strength of intention and her prayer to be of service in the world through the written word has transformed me. I feel more empowered, on track, inspired and confident that I deserve to move in the direction of my most essential dreams. Not only to do I deserve that--it is my responsibility because I am the only one who can bring forth the gifts that God has given me. Need I say more? Read this book!

In a clear and nurturing voice, Gloria Burgess en-courages us toward and then beyond self discovery. She shines a light on the possibility of a society of trust and genuine expression of both individuality and caring. This book is a welcome companion and guide for me right now.

Have you ever thought about the life you're living, and what kind of impact you're having on the people around you? You may know you want to leave a positive legacy, but don't know exactly how to make the changes you need. Dare to Wear Your Soul on the Outside can offer some suggestions to guide you.

Dr. Gloria J. Burgess has determined that there are Seven Sacred Promises of legacy living. These are: gratitude, faith, love, vision, integrity, creative action, and legacy.

Through the examples of others who have followed her guidance, Burgess shows the reader how these women aligned their lives with their soul purpose. As they learned to wear their souls on the outside, they connected with their living legacy and are now contributing to the greater good in society.

Exercises are provided in this helpful book, and the reader is encouraged to keep a notebook to explore feelings and record the answers that are uncovered. Although it's tempting to expect easy solutions, the process of creating your living legacy isn't always a straightforward process, and it may take years. But the journey will be well worth the rewards.

Once again Gloria shares her wit and wisdom to encourage us to find our very best. We are fortunate that she shares her knowledge and creativity and caring in the written word, so that we all may benefit.
