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.

Monday! Time to make a new weekly to-do list:
1. Smack self in the head for missing 750 Words yesterday.
Don't know what happened there. I had plenty of time, remembered several times during the day, even had it open on the screen, but continued to procrastinate. I finished reading a really awesome book, played a video game, and made a rough recording of my newest song. Each time, I looked at that blank 750 Words screen and thought, I'll get it in a little bit. Then my computer froze, and instead of rebooting, I shut down and went to bed.
Oops.
So I finished the three-book series called "The Mark of the Lion" by Francine Rivers. I've never read Christian fiction before, but it was fascinating to read what life was like during the Roman era, around 100 AD. I never liked history class, but always loved historical fiction.
