Posting messages is enjoyable for me. But reading peoples comments is really fun and interesting.
I have started my new business. This is about 5 years in the making. I was on a plane returning from a visit with my friend in San Francisco a few years ago. A very nice and interesting woman was sitting in the window seat. I was next to her. She was working on what looked to be a presentation speech of some kind. I struck up a conversation. That conversation started me on a path that has lead me to a new career. It goes to show you, we need to be open to new influences and reach out to one another. I think that includes being open to something you are not really looking for.
My new venture, Music Teacher in Montessori Schools, is proving to be a wonderfully exciting and fulfilling new venture. I think I will be good at it and I already know that I love it. I have contacted 6 Montessori Schools in my area and 2 of the Heads of School's have shown a lot of interest in what I am purposing. My goal for the first couple of years is to work 4 mornings a week, hopefully at one or two schools a day. I will plan and prepare in the afternoons and on Mondays. That will leave my weekends free. It is a plan, I hope to get enough interest to make it happen. I will also be offering to do one time "gigs" in schools to present music workshops to teacher or perform music for children. Both of which I think I am well prepared for and would enjoy doing.
I had my first job last Friday. It was simply wonderful. I enjoyed every aspect of the project. Head of School gave me the Theme and I ran with it. The ideas flowed like the swollen Missouri River. I came up with two new songs with very little effort; I made props, purchased supplies and performed the program with great success. The children were attentive, responsive, they participated and seemed to really enjoy themselves. I also got good feedback from the teachers. I could not have asked for a better start!
Well, that is enough about me. I want to ask a question of my readers.
Do you think it is healthy to "reinvent yourself" when life starts to get a little "stale"?
Now that I have asked the question, I will wait to hear your thoughts. Regardless of the result, I will answer my own question tomorrow or the next day. I hope this will interest you as much as it has me. I like thinking about this topic and I think it is good to "think outside our comfort zone" once in a while.
That is all for now. I hope to hear from some readers. (:} !!!!
