I am back in my office after working from home since March. Being home certainly had its benefits but let’s be honest, it can be really hard to feel good about your work when every 20 minutes you\u2019re getting another snack request or having to play referee.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This fall we decided to send Ella (who turns 5 on Friday!) back to preschool. The center is conveniently just down the road from my office. We decided though to do virtual school with Luke. He comes to the office with me and has his own little work space. The kids call it his office. Since being home this spring and summer, our entire family saw a remarkable difference in Luke. His engagement became more focused and his comfort level around others increased significantly. He became a different kid, more comfortable and more at ease. So when the option of virtual came up we chose it for right now. We\u2019re only a month in but I can tell you it\u2019s working out quite well.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I didn\u2019t necessarily feel that sending Luke to in-person school was a bad choice for us, it\u2019s just that we recognized a change in him and decided to see how this new opportunity to do virtual would affect that. We wanted to see if we could keep what was happening with Luke going. I should also mention that not all virtual programs are created equal and that the one our school district chose caters to his learning style quite well and allows him to work at his own pace. All important pieces to our success so far with it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Who knows what next year will bring?\u00a0 When I wondered aloud to a friend about whether or not we\u2019d be doing virtual forever and what on earth I\u2019d do with Little Miss Ella next year, she simply said. \u201cYou don\u2019t have to figure that out right now. Just make the next right choice for you right now.\u201d\u00a0 How true that is. (And how many times had I said that to someone else?!)<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Here\u2019s what I want to leave you with, shine the light on what\u2019s working for you right now. Even in the midst of an imperfect situation, is there something going really well?\u00a0 What is it?\u00a0 What do you think is contributing to that going so well?\u00a0 How could you build on that?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What leads to BIG success?\u00a0 Lots of little successes. Don\u2019t worry so much about where you\u2019ll be (in life, business, r<\/span>elationships) in 5, 10 or even 20 years. Focus on today.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I\u2019d love to hear what\u2019s going right in your life. Shoot me a message or share with me on one of my social media pages.<\/span><\/p>\n
