Brandiwyn🎶Prep starts 10/1!

, also known as Michelle Tuesday, is a musician, educator and writer hailing from Columbus, Ohio.

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.

Wow, that was actually pretty good! It goes to show how humanity has always been the same and God has His hand in everything... Or something

Thanks for sharing!

I'll be more impressed if Michelle can walk, chew gum, and whistle without swallowing the gum all at the same time.

Even better if she can whistle to the tune of Mozart or something.

Hmmm... if I ever finish that story I was writing which was my first attempt to write a novel, I will definitely ask you what you think of it.

Michelle, if you ever write your story, I wanna read it.

In response to "Story idea and my thoughts on Heaven and Hell"

It's certainly a thing to write about things you don't believe in. For instance, I reject the idea of the supernatural, but it's interesting enough that I've written fiction featuring it. But the problems with writing about "perfect" places are well-documented; it's tough to introduce conflict into a utopia, but it has been done. The enduring popularity of Star Trek is one example.

To address your specific situation: maybe perfection includes incorporating apparent imperfections in order to make things interesting. Like how Lucifer's fall, and Adam and Eve's for that matter, were actually all part of the Plan. After all, if God could be surprised, He wouldn't be omniscient, would He? And if Heaven's perfect, then doesn't that mean that the residents' supposed free will has been taken away, and isn't that a contradiction?

One superpower we have as humans is to imagine the impossible.

I know I'm saying all this as an outsider, so take it as you will. And you know me well enough, I hope, to know that I'm not saying any of this to be hurtful or obnoxious.

Oh, and Elycia Lee ☮, it's possible to be both a scientist and a musician. Brandiwyn🎶Prep starts 10/1! can walk and chew gum at the same time.

You are a scientist? I thought you are a musician.

Writing a story that involves God, heaven, hell, and angels are to me one of the most difficult stories to write especially if you want to be factually right.

I tried and fell flat on my face. Good luck. I really do like the idea of angels getting promoted... your arguments are valid too...

Monday

Happy MLK Day.

OMGosh, we need a MLK Day song! I'll get right on that.

BALANCE
Work goals:
Blog at MT.com : Pending. Scheduled at 750 Words Thursday.
Year-end closeout: In progress. I've got this mostly done, and it seems I may have made a profit in 2011.

Sign-in process for students: Completed "Now in Lessons" and "Next in Lessons" screen. Now need to figure out how to display it, and eventually, how people will sign in at the lobby and computer lab. The idea is to have a record of where a student is in the building at any given time. But more urgent was the "Now in Lessons" display, because moving the lab to the back means we don't have a computer lab attendant shepherding students to the right place (lab or lesson room) as they walk in the door. So parents walk in with their kids and sit down, and sometimes get forgotten until they speak up. The "Now in Lessons" display is supposed to tell people in the lobby, "You're supposed to go here now."
Town Money Saver ad: Due by tomorrow morning. I gotta get better at planning ahead.
Website: Unplanned goal. I spent a good chunk of my morning today updating my website. A lot of photos, copy and information were really outdated. I love tinkering with it.

Writing goals
Performance Evaluations: 9 to go and planned for 750 Words Tue, Wed, Fri, Sat. I also need to compile statistics, so I'll try to plan that during work hours.

Nothing else this week. I need to finish those evaluations.

Church goals
9:30 Bulletin: In progress.
11:15 Bulletin: Pending.

Family goals
I did laundry yesterday so Keith could go to his Mom's house and shrink-wrap the windows, which is apparently all the rage in Ohio. Like mulching. Except in winter instead of summer.

BODY
Health goals
Weight: ?
Exercise: No. Stupid winter.
Yesterday's points: 29.5

GROWTH
Business Growth
Reach 400 students at MTMS by 12/31/12: 234

Music Log
Yesterday, I practiced: at church.
Yesterday, I listened to: nothing yet. Planned for this week: So You Would Come, The Power of Your Name, I Lift My Hands, and Jesus Bring the Rain. All these are for worship, if that's not obvious.
This week, I performed at: church yesterday. Senor Patron pending this Friday. Not sure what day I'm going to pick up at the Polaris location, or when that will start. I'm not rushing it, because I'm feeling kinda busy lately. But I love to perform and don't do it enough.
Songwriting progress: None scheduled this week. Instead, I plan to spend the week cleaning up my master song list (which includes all my originals) and making it Kindle-ready. I want to try using my Kindle for lyrics and chords instead of a binder. Then I'll refresh on all my originals so I can play them at Senor Patron (I haven't played originals there yet.) And there's always that MLK Day inspiration. Comment if it's been done before (links, please!)

Peace.
