La Bene Vita
I am a professional musician  Open in new Window., worship leader  Open in new Window., small business owner  Open in new Window., songwriter  Open in new Window., aspiring author  Open in new Window. and freelance nonfiction writer  Open in new Window. with a chemical engineering degree  Open in new Window..

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.

Reach 275 students at MTMS  Open in new Window. by 12/31/11.
*Writing* 224! But we still need four more students to start this week in order to meet our October goals. Meanwhile, our new receptionist started a day early (Saturday), so, yay, we have a receptionist!

Writing:
(1) *Thumbsup* Blog at MT.com  Open in new Window. by the end of the month: Caught up through Sept. Still owe for Oct, and it's getting close to the end of October.
(2) *Thumbsup* 30 minutes of daily freestyle writing: Not yet today, but the day's not over. I've written at 750Words.com every day this month. I'm on a 28-day streak and shooting for 30 so I can get the next streak badge. I'm also shooting for the "Cheetah" badge, which I should earn the same day (tomorrow).

Count points:
Not technically, but my weekend wasn't too horrible since Keith and Abby were out of town for a gymnastics meet. I ate my typical snacks and avoided the meals that I'm usually compelled to eat with the fam.

I'm not sure how I went five days without checking in. We're seven days from NaNo, which of course I intend to try this year after spending time prepping the book. We started a new worship service at church yesterday, for which I'm the worship leader, and that has taken a lot of time (and still has a lot of kinks.) I've had several gigs (one wedding, one funeral, a Halloween party, and two days so far at the Mexican restaurant, which hired me to play once a week.) I had to practice for some of that. And I've started researching how to create a nonprofit for my scholarship program, which I will implement with the support of the local school district. All in all, a productive month, but I do sometimes wonder the purpose of some of my goals. Maybe I'm too much of an overachiever.
