i've been on the job-free train for about six weeks now and i cannot believe how my life has improved. still looking for the right combo of writing and editing gigs to make it all happen — but you are are so right when you say that if i fail, i can just get another j-o-b. though with the idyllic feeling i get every day now, that would be really hard to go back to!

o and it's funny that you totally cleaned up the spot on your first day self-employed. i did the same thing. and i also treat my whole home differently now — like i have to respect the space more and so do the other people who come in and out of it as roommates and guests. this is now not just my sanctuary i fall apart in at the end of the day, its the place for both inspiration, reflection and sanctuary!

Seems funny to me that as you're leaving life as a "work in the office" single mama and heading home, I'm leaving life as a 'work from the couch" single mom and heading back to an office. Granted, I only go in about 4 days a week for 4-5 hours a day…but still. Interesting.

I wish you the best of luck. Working from home as a single mom is both terrifying (because it's ALL on you) and rewarding (because you don't miss those priceless moments) but if anyone gets what it's like to have it "all on you" it's a single mom.

Good luck!
