 Enviar a email | Great to be working again en General |  Por Simone
el 23-Feb-2009 | The last few weeks have been quite tiring, but I am feeling more fulfilled than I have done for years. I have started doing a daily radio show (Angel in the morning) on Cool FM and last Friday we played the first ?full set? (over two hours!) with our band, RetroMatic at a local live music bar, the Chaos.
All of it is so enjoyable. I have just never been able to find that kind of satisfaction in anything I have been doing in life that has not been connected to music and/or media. It just feels so ?right? to be doing this. It?s like coming home to me.
The band performance went pretty good. Of course, we messed up here and there and we realized that we need to make a few changes before our next show. But then, that?s what a live performance is all about. And we couldn?t have figured these things out had we not stood in front of an audience.
The crowd reacted really well to the show though. There were a lot of smiling faces, people singing along, many people shouting ?Yes!? as they heard us start certain songs & applause at the end of each one (something you can?t take for granted on an island like Aruba, so inundated with live music that- at times- the audience hardly reacts). And there also was lots a dancing towards the end of the show, which is just the most satisfying thing to see when you?re onstage.
There were pictures taken that night by some of my Cool FM colleagues, I just need to find out where they?ve been posted, so I can add them later.
The owner of the bar came up to us after the show and basically offered us as many gigs as we?d like at that same venue or at a new bar that he has opened recently. So we just have to put our diaries together and see when we?d want to play again.
I have to say though...I wouldn?t want to do this once or twice a week, like some performers do on the island. It needs to stay fun. For us, but for the audience too. So maybe we?ll play once or twice a month...something like that.
As a mother- by the way- I am very happy with the move from being basically a stay-at-home mom, to being a (part-time) ?working mom?. I gave my all to my kids for the last 6 years, which has been exactly what I had wanted to do. But as they were getting older I craved striking a balance between being a mom with being an individual, with her own wants and needs. So now that?s what I?ve got.
The juggling takes a little getting used to, but it isn?t too hard. Of course, my hours are great...I go to the radio station at about 9am or 9.30 & then I stay until I pick up the boys from school (12.30 & 1pm). So I have all afternoon to spend with them, apart from the few things I need to do online or the bits of practicing I need to do. And band practice is just one evening a week.
I feel so blessed to be doing exactly what I want to do. Yes....life is brilliant!

| Co-working vs Working-from-home? | | The co-working idea is taking off. Many freelancers may enjoy their flexibility on their work hour or freedom on working for their own, but they missed the social element working in an office.
So what can you do? You could create a cafe-like community space for you and others in your areas, or join one if your local area already have one. Take a look at this story:
