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...

Thursday

Reach 300 students by 12/31/11:
* Develop a Q1 promotion & ad plan by 1/7: Seeds of ideas, but no actual progress.
* Develop a summer program plan by Spring Break: Meeting 2/4... and maybe a big-time delegation opportunity. One teacher would like to work full-time this summer. So I may challenge her to come up with some programs that would give her the full-time hours she wants.
* Business Cards:
* Vocal warm-ups CD:

I've actually been working on a staffing plan and organizational chart, and I'm pretty psyched about it.

Customized database by 12/31/11: Design web page interface for potential form.

Pending.

Potbelly: : Add one repertoire song per week

Not really. Kinda busy. Sheesh. But I like another one of WildThing~Becoming

's suggestions: "The Only Exception" by Paramore. I totally have to learn that song, in addition to the Katy Perry song. I've been hitting the Norah Jones every day, and it suits my head cold rather nicely.

Messiah: Meet one TBD goal per month:

Here's the thing: I think God is taking care of my personal feeling of negligence for me. He's dumping a ton of work on me, so I can feel like I'm accomplishing things. I have two new violin players, a new guitarist and singer, and another new singer, all starting this week. Add that to my new musicians who started in the fall (violinist, lead guitarist, and three new singers), and I've got my work cut out for me creating a band. Or maybe two bands. Meanwhile, we have a sound system overhaul scheduled for Saturday, so we'll have an accurate picture of how many musicians we can actually handle at a time. Instead of launching new congregational songs, I'm thinking I need to work on cool violin trios and vocal harmonies and such.

Reading: One book per week.
