My Space
Ok, I admit it. “My Space” is not my own creatively designed page on the enormously popular website. For me, “My Space” is my home office. A couple of years ago I left my 9-5 job and now I work out of my home. I don’t miss the sterile building I worked in previously. My home office is painted a beautiful shade of shallow water green that reminds me of vacations in the Caribbean. And, since I am my own boss at my home based business, I get to take those Caribbean vacations whenever I want! (Panama is my favorite destination by the way!)
I have family photos all over the walls. But since I work at home, I get to see my family in person a lot more than I used to. This is great, except when the kids are whiny, and then I wonder if the opportunity to work from home is one I should have jumped on so quickly. But, yes, I do love being close to them.My desk is spacious; my chair is comfortable; and the bathroom is three steps away! My dog sleeps at my feet, my cat in my lap. My phone has a remote headset so I can actually go outside with the dog and cat and still keep working. Even when I need to be in the home office, I have a picture window right in front of my desk. I watch the hummingbirds feeding in the spring, summer lightening storms in the late afternoon. The maple tree outside the window is brilliant in the autumn. But my favorite is watching the first snowflakes of winter drift lazily down to earth.
All this happens right in My Space.
