Some days it is hard to believe I’ve already been gone for 3 months!! Other days I can’t help but think I’ve been gone more than 11 and I should start looking for a job!! The idea of coming back and jumping into corporate America again honestly makes me sick!! I know God has a greater purpose for my life, and even though I have an idea of what that might be the responsible side of me says I need to start working on my resume so that it is ready when I need it. After 3 short months on the race my resume has expanded so much!!
