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...

Tuesday

BALANCE
Work goals:
Blog at MT.com : Pending.
Year-end closeout: In progress. I never called my (mom)accountant Sunday, and she's slammed again, so not sure where I am with this or what I need to do. We still have some loose ends to tie up. Most pressing: I need to issues W2s and 1099s before the end of the month.
Sign-in process for students: Pending lobby screen and actual sign-in process. I decided I wanna play with the cool kids and have a customer sign-in touch-screen kiosk. Somebody find me one of those.

Writing goals
Town Money Saver ad: Done.

I also downloaded the latest version of Paint Shop Pro so I can play with more graphic design. I haven't fiddled with the software yet, but it's sitting open on my desktop in that "I swear I'm gonna do this" state, like about seven other windows I have open and "Pending" today. Half of which are touch-screen kiosk vendors.
Performance Evaluations: Scheduled today, Wed, Fri, Sat. Haven't touched them. But 750Words.com is open in a web browser window.

I'm kickin' it today. Look at how much I'm thinking about doing! zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...

Church goals
9:30 Bulletin: In progress... or, exactly where I left them yesterday. Also open in my web browser. Okay, to be perfectly honest, I opened it right before typing that previous sentence. But now it really IS open! Yay.
11:15 Bulletin: Pending. I'm having trouble finding energy for this, because the service is just not taking off. Why bother?

Family goals
Piles and piles of folded laundry sit all over the house. I should put that away.

BODY
Health goals
Weight: Fairly sure I haven't lost anything.
Exercise: I need an aerobics video or something. Anything good on YouTube? LINKS, PLEASE!
Yesterday's points: 32

GROWTH
Business Growth
Reach 400 students at MTMS by 12/31/12: 237.5

Music Log
Yesterday, I practiced: Nothing.
Yesterday, I listened to: Nothing.
This week, I performed at: Pending.
Songwriting progress: Nothing.

I have to sub again tonight. And tomorrow. I think that's part of my lethargy. Strange, because we signed up like four students on Saturday and five yesterday, plus we launched a completely-full preschool class on Saturday. Business is looking up. But I feel tired.

Keith and I decided we're ready to be old and retired, so we can justify going to Florida for January and February every year. Am I old yet?
