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...

Friday

Resign from Abbott by 4/4/10.

In progress and on schedule.

Brand the biz(es.)

In progress. Private lessons start next week!

I have an offline Biz to-do list, and my most immediate needs are setting up for private lessons, beginning next week. I have my house lined up as a location. When it sells, Plan B is teaching in a local church, but I haven't heard back from the Pastor. Plan C is to lease a commercial property, and I got a quote on one... it's more affordable than I thought it would be! It's only a little more than the cost of maintaining my house, and it comes with built-in advertising (well, I have to pay for the initial sign installation, but, you know, it's a real store.)

Unfortunately, when I went to look at it, I fell in love with a vacant storefront that's about three times the size.

I also need to buy software and install it on a desktop computer, so I'm ready for the computer theory part of lessons. I'm cleaning up two desktop computers that Keith and I have sitting around.

Business: Music Instruction Books.

Stalled... and I'm planning a trip to the sheet music store before lessons start next Wednesday.

Launch one new Praise Band song per month.

Goal met.

Post at WordPress at least once per week.

Goal met. http://www.michelletuesday.com

Achieve a weight of 145.0 by 3/31/10.
Weight: ?
Meals:
7:00am Orange juice (3)
8:00am Coffee (1)

Write new lyrics once per week.

Goal met: "Thirty"

[13+]

Write one new original song per month.

In progress.

Launch one new repertoire song per week.

Goal met. I went ahead and launched a song I've had in my binder for awhile, "When Love Comes to Town" by U2.

Taxes.

In progress, and I hit it hard yesterday. I'm waiting on two documents, and I still need to compile my mileage, but I did compile all my charitable giving and biz expenses.

NEW GOAL: 15 minutes of small biz research per day.
*pending* Here's the deal on this one: I have a teacher lined up, and I haven't figured out how to legally hire her. I'm not doing any under-the-table crap with a business I hope to run and grow for the next decade or more. I only ever got halfway through my Small Business For Dummies book before the holidays ended and real life resumed. I'll read for 15 minutes per day, and/or I'll browse the sma.gov (Small Business Administration) website for resources.
