What aspects of working from home did you enjoy most?
Over the last nine months, I have sought out the positive experiences to hold as endearing memories of this very challenging period. The catalyst of these positive experiences has been the ability to prioritize time differently. Remote working from home has provided the opportunity to spend quality time with my family and to truly experience home in a deeper way.

I am committing to making these memories a routine way of life in 2021 and beyond.
