Still here...

So...the excitement of choosing to stay has died down a little. I've gone on quite a few interviews and never hear back. I've sent out my resume and filled out applications numbering in the 100's. I've started my Etsy store, but haven't gotten very much in it yet. And  yesterday, I set my hair on fire! (That part is actually comical to me).

I know I am exactly where I'm supposed to be right now. Every choice I've ever made has led me to this very point in my life, and luckily, I'm not wasting it. I'm sewing A LOT and working on making and selling my bags. I'm drawing a little and talking seriously with my sister about starting our t-shirt business. I'm reading many books about entrepreneurship and talking to people about ideas, business software and designs. I'm also getting outside quite a bit and dabbling in macro photography. And to top it all off, I'm volunteering at a local Wilderness Rehabilitation center and loving it! It's a lot of work, but I absolutely LOVE volunteering my time! Especially where animals are concerned.

All in all, things are going pretty well, for someone who's still unemployed and living with friends. The Summer is here and the Pacific Northwest is absolutely gorgeous!
