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.

Post at Advice for Business Managers once per weekday.
 Goal met. I'm all caught up. I do need to schedule ahead through Monday morning, though, because I'll be offline from tomorrow afternoon through Sunday night this weekend at a church retreat.
Post at MichelleTuesday.com at least once per week.
Goal met.
Write one Textbroker article per weekday.
 Goal canceled until I return from my retreat. Too busy.
Grow MochaNotes.com blogs.
 Dabbling in Domesticity :
SEO: I spent my morning trying to link MT.Com from my church website, because I can, and because it's good for SEO. I was eventually successful, but I now I need to spend time revising the whole church website, because too many webmasters spoil the pot. We need some serious CSS and a stylesheet. While I'm at it, I should submit a sitemap to Google for my church site, MT.Com , and MochaNotes.Com .
Launch one new performance repertoire song per week.
 Pending.
Write one new original song per month.
Pending.
Brand the biz(es.)
Goal met, completely by accident. It turns out that a handful of my Potbelly fans are local radio personalities. They've been PB regulars for months - maybe a year - and I never knew. At a minimum, I'm thinking of advertising on their station, since it's local to the community in which I'm opening my school.
Perform one household chore per day.
Goal met, but, damn. I just remembered that I need to switch over the laundry. I should probably rewash the load in the washer first.
Read a book in print 15 minutes every day.
Goal met. I didn't actually read last night, but I ready plenty while my laptop was down, and I'll read plenty while I'm (gasp) Internet-less at my church retreat this weekend.
Achieve a weight of 145.0 by 6/1/10.
 In progress.
7:00am Coffee (1)
8:00am English muffin with butter (2)
1:45pm Skinny roast beef sandwich (6) - it was odd. I couldn't finish it.
2:45pm Ice cream (3)
3:30pm Coffee (1)
5:45pm Sugar snap peas (0), refried beans (3ish), six nuts (1)
8:15pm Tuna Helper (3) and ice cream (4)

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)
