The purpose of SOHO Wife is to write on my adventures in exploring the work from home lifestyle. I follow many other blogs like my own and some that encompass others areas of my explorations- movies, online marketing, trendy tech, etc. One of my utmost guilty pleasures is in following the Stratejoy blog. Molly, in creating her business is doing a fabulous job of furthering the movement of living your best life, but organizing it in a manner that speaks best to those of us in our quarter life years.
As of recently, I have been working on refocusing our family business and really thinking about what I hope for in life. Molly ran an event a few months back promoting the writing of life lists. I have finally decided to sit down and commit mine to paper. In writing this I recognize that my list will evolve- I will cross things off, add and change things. I also realize that there are items that are not all up to me; a lot of my checking off will depend on how Mr. Donogh’s priorities align with mine. And lastly, I know that I have been extremely fortunate in life to have done a lot of amazing things already and that many of the events that I loved the most are those that I never expected to do or take part in. So, here is to writing your list and changing it along the way- Cheers!
