Noel Romero 4th August Home Office Leave a Comment

Working from home can be a very relaxing experience, but it’s important to plan ahead to ensure you adapt to the new work environment. Staying connected to others is very important.

The quick pop of eggplant yielding to the knife; the warmth of steam ghosting from the colander; the joy of turning over a chicken breast to find it richly brown.

What is more authentic and soul-stirring than cooking?

And that’s what this post is all about — the need of a freelancer to do all he or she can to maintain authentic experiences to renew one’s spirit during hard weeks of toil.
