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.

Is it sad that I'm sneaking a Wizard101 break while the middle schooler is at Grandma's house, since he's grounded from Wizard101 today?

Launch one new performance repertoire song per week.
Goal met. I have a long-term goal with my repertoire, which I think of when I'm at Potbelly playing, but rarely otherwise. So I thought I'd capture it while it's on my mind. I'd like to sift through my songs and can the ones that don't fit the image I want to portray. Janis Joplin said that people, whether they know it or not, want their blues singers miserable. I'm fantastically grateful that I'm not a blues singer.
...and yet, I do sing some Joplin.
So I'm starting to think about my image - my BRAND as a musician - and wondering if songs like the Joplin tunes shouldn't be eliminated from my rep. They would not be my first choices as unique covers on a mostly-original album. I think I prefer songs with a positive message (damn! there go my Nirvana and Linkin Park lineups), and ones that display my voice in a soothing, pleasant manner (James Taylor, anyone?) Well, I'm not sure if I prefer that so much as my fans prefer that.
I've asked before, and I'll ask again: Please offer comments about this if you have them.

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)
