One day at a time

 Since my last post I have been asked by a lot of people.. "How are you doing?" My reply has been more time than not " Taking it one day at a time". That's all I can process right now. When I used to hear one day at a time I thought how can you not plan for the future, how can you not look past what is directly in front of you. Well life has a funny way to teaching you things and I think the lesson that I am supposed to learn is to accept help from others. I have always been the "ill do it myself" type and in light of recent events I cant do it all myself and I am forced to rely on other more than I ever have in my life. This is a very humbling experience for me.
As for updates on my wife's condition. We have surgery scheduled for next week and that's about all I can handle right now.
 On to the studio. I have recently come to a decision that has changed my view and scope of business. The original plan was to start small at home and work out of there. But the plan has been accelerated. I have done some research about the state of music programs in our local schools and it is not good. Across the board there are schools cutting music and arts programs at a record pace. Most of the cuts coming to inner city schools. Do they not understand that by cutting these they are punishing the kids that need music and arts the most?
 So moving forward I am going to be looking at a model that will allow me to subsidize music lesson for inner city youth. A studio,small music shop along with rehearsal and lesson space are now in the plans.
 I am looking at different crowd funding sites and I plan on asking the masses to help with the start up of this venture. The way my business plan sits right now it can be a self sustaining business for a relatively small start up.
 I will be reaching out to the City of Columbus, Instrument Manufactures and looking into grants for the business as well. I feel like this route will allow me to give back to the communities that have given so much to me and my family.
 Well lots to do..  as i do it one day at a time
