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.

Potbelly: : Add one repertoire song per week
 Compiled chords to "Firework" by Katy Perry. Katy was a suggestion by WildThing~Becoming  , which I thought odd, but certainly no odder than Rhianna, and I do two of her songs. And while most of Katy's are risque and not my style, this particular song is an encouragement of a friend, much like "True Colors" by Cyndi Lauper and "Better Things" by the Kinks - positive and uplifting are definitely my style. I don't quite know how I'm going to arrange it acoustically yet, but it should be interesting.
Messiah: Meet one TBD goal per month:
Sound system overhaul this Saturday, new song "Our God" next Saturday. My drummer will want to know how the children's minister talked me into another Chris Tomlin song after I told the drummer that we had enough Chris Tomlin songs. 
Reading: One book per week.
I'm on the second chapter of "A Journey to the Centre of the Earth" by Jules Verne. According to my Kindle, the second chapter is 3% into the book, so finishing it this week may be an aggressive goal. On the other hand, I'm fighting a sinus thing, so I'm tired and may find myself reading more than working.
Writing: Goals TBD: Set goals.
(1)  Blog at WDC daily.
(2) Blog at MT.com weekly. OVERDUE and FOUR PENDING. Bleh.
I wish I had more time, so I could meet all my goals. I need a time machine. Too bad H.G. Wells didn't bother to include a schematic in the book.
Count points: TOTAL POINTS YESTERDAY: 42.5
Pear (2)
Banana (2)
Baklava (5)
Coffee (1)
Bear claw (3)
Half sammich (3.5)
Cookies (6)
Lasagna (14)
Ice cream (6)
Okay, now that I have established a trend, I plan to cut back gradually. I'll start with a target of 35 maximum points per day.

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

I don't know how you do it, but I assume there's magic involved *^*Bigsmile*^* I have really enjoyed this month of planning and preparation for NaNoWriMo and I love how organized it all is. Thank you for hosting a great challenge and for your dedication to helping so many of us prepare with confidence and trepidation for National Novel Writing Month (known to sane folks as 'November' *^*Laugh*^*) at your [Link To Item #1474311]](https://images.Writing.Com/imgs/writing.com/writers/badges/general-Organization-1150.gif)

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)
