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.

Goal met. I attended an Ohio Music Teachers Association luncheon and not only promoted both my performance and music school business, but I may have also found another teacher. I'm not sure what she's looking for, but I plan to meet her for coffee. She teaches piano, and based on her title on her business card, she has a doctorate. I was hoping to land a "Piano Master Instructor" for whom I can charge more. I would obviously pay her more, too.  But she's already teaching; I'm not sure if it's out of her home, and she wants to supplement somewhere else, or what.
Perform one household chore per day.
Goal met and exceeded. I watched the kids all night so Keith could play golf after work. I have also spent the last three days trying to breathe life into his desktop computer, which was top of the line in 2004 or so. It's still a decent computer, but needed some TLC. I finally got the thing to maintain an Internet connection right about the time the Dell dude showed up to fix my laptop.
I did dishes and laundry, too. What the hell else was I gonna do? I had no computer. 
Read a book in print 15 minutes every day.
Goal met. Not only did I blast through more than half of "The Lightning Thief", but I also read about seven chapters of "Hatchet," so I could quiz the 12-year-old on what he read. Again. No computer.
Achieve a weight of 145.0 by 6/1/10.

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)
