   The pandemic has done what I never thought possible, validating what I   
   have known for some time: When one works from home, one is actually   
   working. Despite the industry's negative projections during the early   
   stages of COVID-19, our firm had a profitable year with all of us   
   working from home.   
      
   I began working "remotely" in 2008, well before COVID-19 sent the rest   
   of America home. I was an in-house attorney, traveling the world, with   
   four little kids, one with special needs, when one day my daughter's   
   therapist told me straight out that my daughter needed me home   
   more. Staying in my job and being home for my daughter was not   
   possible. So I decided to take 12-18 months "off" and focus on my   
   family. We moved to Costa Rica to get away from it all. But as former   
   clients called with work opportunities, I soon found a path I normally   
   would have considered too risky, one where I could still practice and   
   do it from home. What was to be a 12-to-18-month hiatus turned into   
   remote working for nearly 13 years, because even when I returned to a   
   firm, I continued working remotely.
