Remote Work Redefined



While the pandemic has put a damper on a great many things, one of the most unexpected outcomes has been the redefining of remote work. Think about it, when in our lifetime will we ever have an opportunity to work literally ANYWHERE we want to? Once we return to our offices, that’s it, we are back to our next “normal”. For many of us, remote work will be a solution that some businesses adopt while others either set it aside or limit it to only certain lines of business.

Remember the two lessons I shared? Life is fragile and NOTHING is guaranteed…especially TIME.

I’m 53 years old. I am an executive that easily spends 50+ hours working each week. I have a home office that is comfortable and provides me with all of the functional needs I could ask for, but it still feels completely claustrophobic. Four more months of this "normal" and I am going to need therapy...and gastric bypass surgery.…and then…my wheels began turning.

I am blessed with a husband who has a penchant for adventure. The mere suggestion that we consider an alternative lifestyle for the rest of this work from home mandate was all it took. When Saturday came, we were touring Camping World and other RV vendors in a 100-mile radius. By the end of the next week we had settled on a 30 ft. Keystone Cougar Travel Trailer. Complete with all the amenities a glamping girl would require, Nick and I pulled the trigger and took our first step on the path of our new adventure.
