<strong>Oprah Taught Me Online Dating</strong></p>
<ul>
<p><a href="http://www.timecapsule.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/Online-Dating-Better-Half-2.jpg"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" src="http://www.timecapsule.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/Online-Dating-Better-Half-2.jpg" alt="Online Dating - Better Half -2" width="400" height="300" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3506" /></a></p>
<p>Ok, so many of you have been having fun reading the perspective my husband had building up to meeting me for the first time. Now here is my half of the story so far, (written by the better half of course) for those who have been wondering.</p>
<p>It was a time in my life when I realized that I had to look at singleness as a gift. You know, too many of us (especially girls) strive to find “the one” in life. What if we spent our lives concentrating on giving back somewhere, and if someone happened to come along in our journey then it will be all the more special.<br />
I was raised in a strong, close family in which we relied on each other to help with issues like friendship issues, dating, dress tips, work, God’s will, saving money, homework, etc. I was very busy in my life at this time, from working with my parent’s at their own business, going to school full-time, and giving my time and help to our church small groups I was involved in. I did not really have time for meeting a guy. Of course, that is when Murphy (I am sure you all know him) said, it is time to interrupt your life.</p>
<p>As I was going through my school, work, church weekly routine, I did realize I was not getting any younger. My story started a couple of weeks before Mark (my husband) received “the checklist,” which you can read about at <a href="http://www.timecapsule.com/milestone-moments/milestone-moment-the-checklist-to-meeting-someone-online/">http://www.timecapsule.com/milestone-moments/milestone-moment-the-checklist-to-meeting-someone-online/</a></p>
<p>I had a couple of friends in my college class who I started to get to know well. How can you not, considering you were studying for your Psychology tests together, and doing sample case studies of clients which brought up important issues in life. One friend, Nikki said, “do you want to go out with my brother sometime?” I was like, “what???” How do you break it to your friend (based on how she has already described her brother in the past), that her brother is not really your type. Well, I was honest with her and basically said he does not sound like someone I would hang out with as a friend, let alone boyfriend.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.timecapsule.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/Online-Dating-Better-Half-1.jpg"><img decoding="async" src="http://www.timecapsule.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/Online-Dating-Better-Half-1.jpg" alt="Online Dating - Better Half -1" width="1600" height="1131" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3505" /></a></p>
<p><strong>How Oprah Taught Me About Online Dating &#8211; The Relationship Profile</strong></p>
<p>After much hounding from my friends, who sincerely thought I was a “great girl” and needed to be with someone, they suggested filling out a profile online. Ha. Boy did I laugh. I would never do that. That is not me at all, I was thinking. I said to Nikki, “fine, if I do this though it has to be very descriptive because I do not want some axe-murderer finding me.” I decided when I filled out this profile, that I was going to use it as a teaching or ministry moment. I was tired of meeting so many guys who thought and said, “there are no more ‘great girls’ out there,” with morals, faith, standards, and intelligence. At that time, I was also very involved as a leader in our church youth group. So I figured, if anything maybe there are other church youth group leaders out there who can share group lesson ideas, games, etc with me. For tips from Oprah about how to fill out the best online profile, check out <a href="http://www.oprah.com/relationships/Online-Dating-Tips-How-To-Write-Your-Best-Profile_1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">http://www.oprah.com/relationships/Online-Dating-Tips-How-To-Write-Your-Best-Profile_1</a></p>
<p><strong>The Ministry</strong></p>
<p>So, I began to fill in the profile as a ministry to teach guys how to find a great girl, a Proverbs 31 woman if you will. Now, do not get me wrong I am by no means perfect. However, I do constantly strive to live my life with purpose and give back to others by instilling inspiration, encouraging, or helping educate in areas I have experienced or learned. I still have my online profile saved on paper in our wedding time capsule. It will be a fun memory to read this again on our 25th anniversary, when we open our decorative wedding time capsule. Get this beautiful Wedding Time Capsule from <a href="http://www.timecapsule.com/product/weddingtimecapsule/">http://www.timecapsule.com/product/weddingtimecapsule/</a>.</p>
<p>So how would you use an online profile to teach or reach out to help someone in the world? Again, looking at singleness as a gift, is one of the best gifts you can give or teach others. It affects your daily, social functioning and those around you. If you want to know what was on the “checklist,” stay tuned to next week’s blog.</p>

<p><a href="http://www.timecapsule.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/Do-your-Best.jpg"><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2691" src="http://www.timecapsule.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/Do-your-Best.jpg" alt="Do your Best" width="300" height="167" /></a></p>
<p>Learn how to show love to others on Valentine&#8217;s Day. Be the best at what matters most in whatever you do daily….Love. Love is what matters most in our daily life walk with our spouse, child, job, social time with friends, etc. We are all surprised when we receive letters in the mail, let alone a love letter from someone who deeply cares about us.</p>
<p>We here at The Original Time Capsule Company want to write our customers a love letter and say thank you with this blog of helpful ideas, on how you too can share love with others around you every day. Many milestone moments come from special days of showing or giving love to others whether through acts of service, friendship, laughter, support, acceptance, etc.</p>
<p>Valentine’s day is advertised as a day to sell candy, flowers, gifts, etc. We, at The Original Time Capsule company do not want you to forget that love, the main ingredient associated with Valentine’s day, needs to be the focus in everything we do, every day, not just on this holiday. Currently this world is so consumed with social media, working faster, harder, their status, and whether or not someone gave them a “Like.” This Valentine’s Day, we want you to slow down and push the “Love” button with friends and family.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-10113" src="https://www.timecapsule.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/How-to-Show-Love-Wedding-Time-Capsule-400x600.png" alt="How to Show Love - Wedding Time Capsule" width="400" height="600" /></p>
<p>Not everyone has that special someone to celebrate with on Valentine’s day, but everyone can love someone or something else on this day. Many times, we forget what it means to be loved, and need helpful tips or ideas of how to show that to someone else. Valentine’s Day can be helpful for that, especially for the guys who do not like this holiday.</p>
<p><strong>For the Spouses &#8211; Show Love:</strong></p>
<p>Do your best at showing love to your spouse. Not everyone is created equal. We each have different ways of showing love. Do your best at what matters most this holiday, and spend time and show love with someone or something you care about. See this helpful list of ideas of how to love your special someone on February 14. See these ideas at <a href="http://www.familylife.com/articles/topics/holidays/featured/valentines-day/25-valentines-day-ideas-for-couples#.Uvf35E2YaM8" target="_blank" rel="noopener">http://www.familylife.com/articles/topics/holidays/featured/valentines-day/25-valentines-day-ideas-for-couples#.Uvf35E2YaM8</a>. It is never too late to get your decorative Wedding Time Capsule and fill it with old mementos from your wedding day, to open years later on a special anniversary date or a Valentine&#8217;s Day years from now.

<p><strong>For the Family &#8211; Show Love:</strong></p>
<p>Do your best, at what matters most – Spending time and showing love to your family and children. Many times children are listening, even when we do not think they are listening. I remember pressing my ear against my parent’s door, listening in on conversations secretly. Make sure your children hear the most important message of all this holiday…I Love You with these unique activities at http://www.sheknows.com/parenting/articles/1028393/unique-things-to-do-with-your-kids-this-valentines-day</p>
<p><strong>For the Job &#8211; Show Love:</strong></p>
<p>Do your best, at showing love in your job. Others, who may be looking up to you, or looking to move you up the ladder watch and notice your acts of love toward your job and others around you. It is in our best interest to show love at our jobs daily to others, which in turn gives love back to ourselves. It is easier to be around others when you show love to them, even when you do not feel like it. Here are some other great ideas of how to show your co-workers love. http://www.reporter-times.com/entertainment/parade/living/want-your-coworkers-to-love-you-try-these-tips/article_3c128fb7-bc16-5458-b6f0-6b4f60108dcf.html</p>
<p><strong>For the Friends &#8211; Show Love:</strong></p>
<p>Do you best, at what matters most when you are single on Valentine’s Day – Spending time with friends. It is vital to continue to give to yourself, so that you can continue to give love to others around you daily. So go spend time with yourself or friends and love on them with the helpful ideas from http://www.yourtango.com/2014206743/single-valentines-day-ideas-youll-love</p>
<p>Instead of making excuses why not to have Valentine’s Day, make excused to do your best and show love everyday with your spouse, family, job, friends, and yourself. Pay it forward – Love.</p>
<p>Instead:<br />
&#8211; Make the excuse to spend much needed time with your hubby.<br />
&#8211; Make the excuse to eat chocolate with friends and family<br />
&#8211; Make the excuse to relax and enjoy a hobby away from your kids<br />
&#8211; Make the excuse to slow dance in your living room, write a love letter, or record a video to say I love you to your spouse, friends, children, co-worker and thank them for all they have done and how they have shown you love.</p>
<p>Please leave a comment below on what you did for this Valentine’s week to push the “Love” button on someone else, and how you plan to show “Love” every day. We, “Like” that, as Facebook would say, but where is the “Love” it button when we need it.</p>
