Was it that obvious?

Yes, it’s true that I took my own journey to find my perfect job. I stumbled and fell, and sometimes Read more of this blog post »

C.  (Don't blank click my reviews, comment please! Very happy to meet you, Michelle! One note, since Goodreads refuses to turn off their direct message / private message mailboxes, for those who deem them inconvenient: I don't use them. I converse in update and review comment boxes. In absence of those on your turf; profile comments, or my comment boxes will do. :) I have a write-up about myself generally and am thrilled you appreciate my in-depth reviews! I work hard at them and am respectful to authors. Please call me Carolyn! :)
