La Bene Vita
I am a professional musician  , worship leader , small business owner , songwriter , aspiring author and freelance nonfiction writer with a chemical engineering degree .
But that's just my resume.
My profile of qualifications is only one of the ways in which I am unique. Here I chronicle my personal and professional goals and my efforts to achieve them. Occasionally I fail. Mostly, I take daily baby steps toward all my long-term goals. Much like the stories I pen, the songs I compose, and the businesses I run, I am always a work in progress.

Health goals
Weight: 173.8
Exercise: Yep! I keep hoping the running part will get easier. 
Yesterday's points: 35
(1) Coffee
Weekly writing goals
Performance Evaluations: Wrote two more today. 4 down, 12 to go. I'm starting to see that I need to compile data, like what percentage of class students converted to private lessons; how many recitals and events the teacher attended; percentage of teacher's students who've performed at recitals and events; and compare those numbers with overall school numbers. Accountability! I  data.
Character Inventory: Scheduled Friday.
Set one song to music: Scheduled tomorrow.
Weekly work goals
Reach 400 students at MTMS by 12/31/12: 231.5
Blog at MT.com : Scheduled Thursday.
Year-end closeout: In progress and mostly delegated.
Sign-in process for students: In progress, and I worked on this last night some, even though it wasn't scheduled. It is WICKED COOL. Now I just need to figure out how to make Google Docs auto refresh so it continually recalculates the current time (like every 60 seconds.)
Judge Ohio Idol videos: Scheduled today, but since Chris (the office manager) is still sick (strep throat!), I'll be doing it at the front desk at MTMS. Which means I might get interrupted with walk-ins and phone calls.
Music Log
Yesterday, I practiced: Scarlatti Sonata in Dm. I'm getting closer to allegro.  (FYI, allegro = fast)
Yesterday, I listened to: Nothing.
This week, I performed at: Pending.
Songwriting progress: Pending.
Ad hoc goals
Back up hard drive: Complete! It's been beeping more and more often, which makes me nervous. I'm convinced my laptop, whose warranty expired in August of 2011, will die any day now.

For your hard work, commitment, talent and innovation in running the October NaNoWriMo Preparation each year, which helps many of us get our scattered thoughts together for November's novel-writing. And also because this badge has ducks on it.](https://images.Writing.Com/imgs/writing.com/writers/badges/general-Leadership.gif)
