Day 3

Today I am thankful for Loira.
She was/is my mentor.
She is a friend.
She is a fellow blogger.
She is a sister in the Gospel.
She is a follower of Christ.
Most importantly she lives her testimony.

I kind of mentioned her in  a few posts last year, but she deserves more than that. She is worth more than that! :)

I love reading her blog. She is able to put thoughts and feelings into words perfectly. I have been blessed to know her for more than a year. She really has changed my life so much in this past year. I miss seeing her around the school. I miss feeling her care and love she has for me.

Loira is going on a mission and I know the people of Florida will be blessed. She will work miracles and many people will know her name for good. Really, they will be blessed. I look forwad to hearing about her adventures.

So, Loira, thank you. Thanks for being a mentor to me formally and informally. Thank you for inviting me to Play Theory. Thank you for being a listening year. Thank you for being a great example. Most importantly, thank you for sharing your testimony with me. My testimony has been strengthened because of you.

I hope to hear from you soon! Love you!!! :)

Thirty Days of Thanks Day Two

Yes, I didn't post yesterday. I wasn't close to a computer. So, I will have to do it today.
Today (Yesterday), I am thankful for boots. They matched my outfit perfectly!

Thirty Days of Thanks Two

I can't believe that it has already been a year since I started doing my Thirty Days of Thanks. I have always been a bit different, so I decide to do my thankful posts the month of my birthday. Last year I noticed that when I am looking for things to be grateful for my life is better. It turns out that I have too many things to be thankful for. So, I decided to do it again this year.

I am so thankful for my job. I don't think I ever explained what my job was. I am an assistant to Louise Brown who is in charge of  Public Affairs for the LDS Business College.

This past August I asked if I could have a meeting with her to talk about Public Relations. I am looking at going into it for my profession. We had a great hour meeting and I told her I was looking for a new job. Well, a few days later she called to tell me about an opportunity at the Governor's office. I filled out the application and sent my resume to the Governor's office. Louise also asked me to bring my resume to her office. An hour after I gave my resume to her she asked me to come to her office. I was offered a position and I am very blessed.

I was hired to help with Program Advisory Boards. I call, email, and coordinate breakfast to meet with members who are influential and very successful in the area to come and mentor our academic programs. I also speak with the head of the academic programs frequently.  It has been a job that has pushed me out of my comfort zone. I am often given assignments that I have no idea what to do. I accept the assignment and hope it goes well. Luckily, I have been blessed to make it through all of them. I also help with the Employment Center. I work under Wyn Dunford, yes his family did start Dunford bread, and Arnie Allred, and Craig Nelson. There are other people I work with as well.

I am thankful that I have a job where I get to learn things daily. Before this job I was working in a parking booth. I am people-oriented and it killed me that I was not able to talk to people. I am very happy with my job. I am thankful that I get to continue to work at this job.

*Disclaimer: I do not have a laptop, so I might not be able to post everyday. I will try my best though.
