About This Author

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.

Resign from Abbott by 4/4/10.
 12 Days. I should be more excited.
Brand the biz(es.)
I performed for Keith's BIL's 50th birthday party last night.
15 minutes of small biz research per day.
Yesterday, at Potbelly, a couple was watching me play. After a few songs, the woman introduced herself to me. She's the owner of one of the commercial properties I'm considering. She Googled me, found my website, saw my performance schedule, and decided to come see me play. I'm impressed that she cares enough about potential tenants to research them.
Post at WordPress at least once per week.
 Pending.
Achieve a weight of 145.0 by 3/31/10.
{e:Pre-emptiveFAIL} I'm so tired of this goal.
Write one new original song per month.
 Goal met: "Time"
Launch one new repertoire song per week.
What the hell. I didn't actually sing it, but I could have: "Heaven" by Bryan Adams. I just didn't have the energy to sing it. But it's ready.
Maintain Business Managers blog.
No activity.
Meet other writing goals.
Textbroker articles: No activity.
Music Educators blog: On hold.
Three out of three of my Saturdays students canceled on me yesterday, so I did *not* teach any lessons. Here's what I *did* do: I wrapped the twelve-year-old's birthday presents, attended a worship planning meeting, uninstalled some more software on my studio desktop computer (and met my potential future landlady), played Potbelly, did a load of laundry, attended a birthday party for the twelve-year-old (with ice cream cake!), ran Praise Band rehearsal, ran a monthly Praise Band meeting, and played for Keith's BIL's party. I just didn't have time for anything else - no WordPress, no Textbroker, no Managers blog, no work on my business plan and studio database. *shrug* Tomorrow, I'll try again. |

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)
