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.

I'm headed the wrong direction. Although I realize that I'm just retaining water, thanks to Mexican food two nights in a row and a night of heavy drinking, I still need to start taking this shit seriously. The beach awaits!  I'll do better today and tomorrow, because I won't eat any meals with Keith.  Not that it's his fault, mind you, but I haven't learned how to control my food intake when we eat full meals together, versus the granola bar here and there system that's been working for me for over a year. I'm in training on this new process! And eating tortilla chips and drinking margaritas... (yummeh!) *drools*
Meals:
8:00am Coffee (1) and apple ZonePerfect bar (3)
9:00am Six nuts (1)
10:00am Coffee (1)
11:00am Coffee (1)
1:45pm Skinny roast beef sandwich (7)
4:30pm Chai (1)
5:30pm Banana ZonePerfect bar (3.5)
8:00pm Twelve peanut butter pretzels (3), six caramel creams (2), and chili cheese Fritos (3)
11:30pm Tortellini with sausage (10)
Dinner of Champions! Yummeh. |

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)
