My blog reached 1,000 visitors today. It’s quite a milestone for not only me but my job search. I started this blog in January and since then I’ve struggled through my unemployment, a new job that was terribly, terribly wrong, unemployment again — this time on my own terms but…

My Cup Runneth Half Full
