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.

As a New Year's Resolution, I committed to BALANCE this year. I've done very well at allocating more time to family and less to work, especially in the last two months, since we bought a camper and rented a seasonal spot at a campground. But this morning, I ran across this, which, of course, I Pinned:
Patient: Doctor, I don't feel well and I'm not sure why.
Doctor: I want to you meditate for 20 minutes, twice a day, exercise for at least 30 minutes a day, avoid processed foods, eat plenty of organic fruit and veg, spend more time in nature and less indoors, stop worrying about things you can't control and ditch your T.V. Come back in 3 weeks.
...I didn't miss the irony as I read that online, on my laptop, from the comfort and laziness of my indoor couch.
Tomorrow, I start Weight Loss for Hunger. I have devised a new daily schedule which includes exercise and scheduled feedingsmeals eight times a day, because my obsession with food causes me to constantly think about food.
Meanwhile, I've spent approximately ZERO time on writing.
I created a schedule again. The color-coding shows a fair amount of balance, and I've managed to schedule in everything from eating to exercise, reading to writing, work to leisure, family to church, practice to performance. The trick will be sticking to the schedule. So on the agenda today: figure out how to use my calendars to send phone alerts that actually work.
PS: please consider sponsoring me at http://weightlossforhunger.com. I'm going to meet my goal this summer. |
