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.

Kids. They are a needy people! I've been getting Keith's kids ready and out the door for school every day, since I'm home anyway. It takes them four times as long to do anything as it would take me to do, and they need help every step of the way. Also, everything is a tragedy. Stay-at-home moms, I bow to you. 
It's kind of a joke between the family. Anytime one of the children yells, "Daaaaaaaaddy!" from the bedroom, I always yell back, "They are a needy people!" Once over vacation, I said to Abby, "Have I mentioned that, 'They are a needy people!'?" She replied: "Like twenty times!" After Keith and I had a laugh over that, she quipped, "...and that was just TODAY!" That had us rolling. For the rest of the week, every time I yelled the phrase, the kids would call back the running count for the day of how many times I had said it. "Seven!" "Eight!" "Nine!"
Kids are needy, but they sure are fun.
Get house ready for market by 9/30/09
Fail. But I have a house cleaning scheduled Monday, carpet cleaners next Friday, and the painter the following Monday. Yeah, maybe that's a little out of order. But we may try to get most of the painting done ourselves this weekend, and it's just the earliest he could get in here. I want to LIST!!!! Gonna ask my agent if we can just list without the painting.

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)
