love me.

i can't make you love me

no siree, no i can't.
this is something that i have come to realize over the 23 years i've been on this planet.
you can't force people to love you. like you. tolerate you.

you can't force people to do anything at all.
rather, you can be loving towards them and understanding.
try to set your prejudices and emotions aside and understand their point of view.
it's hard to try to do this in dating.
i know i blog a lot about dating.
but guess what?  I'm single.  so get over it (i mean that in the kindest way)

the last guy i dated was incredible. but i realized that i couldn't make him 'love' me more. and i couldn't make myself 'love' him more either.
sometimes things just don't work out.
for no reason at all.

and guess what? i am totally fine with that.
now.
it took me a little while to get used to.
and a lot of time on my knees.
but guess what? i believe in karma.
i believe in a superior power in the heavens above.
i believe that every single teeny tiny little thing on this earth happens for a reason.
actually, i don't believe that.
i KNOW that.

i believe that there are bigger and better things in store for me down the road.
i have so much to celebrate and be grateful for.
my family.
my jobs. (yes, there are 3 of them)
my friends.
my church.
my life.
my health/strength.

i am a blessed lady.  and i am feeling so blessed today.
enjoy this cute little video.





have a great Sunday

quittin time

Well, I did it.
I put my 2 weeks notice in at work.
I feel so weird doing so too.
I have to get my dental assisting hours done ASAP

and guess what?  After all of my worry since given the 2 weeks notice, I got a phone call this morning.
It was a much anticipated phone call from an awesome dental practice in Provo.

They offered me an internship IMMEDIATELY and they also offered me a JOB too.
Can you say BLESSED?!

It was such a great start to my morning.  I am anxious to start my new adventure.
Life is good.

But more importantly, God is good.  He knows me and hears my prayers.
I am one blessed lady.  And I am so thankful for the tender mercies of the Lord.
