As far as the job search, today I had a face-to-face interview with a large, global company for a recruiter opportunity. I believe it went well, but you never know until you have the offer in hand, right? I believe God knows where He wants me. Most days, I don't have a clue, unless He shows me. ;-)
I still wish and hope and pray that I could make a living by doing what I love, which is photography and writing. Who knows, that could be in my future. Right now, going back into recruiting can pay the bills.
