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.

Leading worship Sunday was a breeze. I find myself teaching with a conversational style, asking lots of questions. I guess I could do that again.

Moving and Renovation
*Bullet* Move crap out of the garage: YES! READY FOR CLOSING TOMORROW.
*Bullet* Move crap out of the studio: We hung Christmas decorations and took the totes and empty boxes to storage. *Thumbsup*
*Bullet* Renovation: Closet and sink are done, so we (1) were ready to open for business, and (2) have another room nearly ready to be converted to a lesson room. It's currently a teacher lounge, and we'll have to move all the stuff out first, which requires us to clean up the office area in the back first, but it could be converted without shutting down for construction, which is key.

Reach 275 students at MTMS  Open in new Window. by 12/31/11.
*Writing* We're in catch-up mode with the paperwork, so I'm not sure where we are.

Writing:
*Bullet* Blog at MT.com  Open in new Window. by the end of the month: *Check*
*Bullet* 30 minutes of daily freestyle writing: N/A in November. *Check* I did write my 750 words.
*Bullet* 2,000 NaNoWriMo  Open in new Window. words per day: DONE.

I. Want. More. Hours. In. My. Days. Why can't I work on a song, a fiction piece, a WDC blog post, a music blog post, perform AND run a business all in the same day every day? We have our natural talents, but we excel at those things we practice on a regular basis, and although you don't forget how to write or play an instrument, you do lose that edge of excellence. I want more practice at everything.

Count points:
No, but on a related note, I made a turkey pot pie and turkey noodle soup yesterday with all kinds of leftovers.
