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 spent about eight hours at the "Red White and Boom!" event in downtown Columbus. I was there to sponsor my youth band, Sapphire Blaze, who performed at 1:00 on the children's stage. Meanwhile, the band I used to coach at 88 Keys, Oblivion Fire, was slated to play at 5:00 on the Long Street stage. Due to delays in the lineup, they didn't get started until 6:30, but I really wanted to hang out and see them. I miss those kids, and I was already there, so it seemed a waste not to stick around and see them. I got lots of hugs and choruses of, "We miss you!" Coincidentally, I discovered that the band parents got pissed at 88 Keys this past week due to an email that was the culmination of a variety of political issues, and they left the studio as of Thursday (the end of June.) So they're looking for a new studio to sponsor and coach the band. They are, of course, aware of my pending studio opening, so I let them know that I'll be open in September. I expect to hear from them, based on the comments the parents were making. For example: "Expect to hear from us." That one was sort of a dead giveaway.
This weekend will be downright relaxing compared to the last two days, although I still have quite a bit of stuff to do. I just won't be running from place to place as much. I *really* need a smart phone. I have to wait until my contract expires in October, and I'm dying.

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.
