Nourish: how I’ve grown in 2016 and my plans for 2017

December 31, 2016 by Aprille 4 Comments

At the beginning of 2016, I felt like I was ready for forward momentum. For growth, for change. Now 2017 is upon me and I find myself asking this question: How do you measure growth? I didn’t write much about #growingrace2016. (What I DID write, you can read here.) I think that often, when we … [Read more…]

Boundaries, being settled, and growing

July 13, 2016 by Aprille 6 Comments

This past Sunday night, after a long battle with my digital TV antennae, I settled myself down in the basement couch to watch the USA Women’s Gymnastics Olympic Trials. I found myself a little overcome with emotion. Four years ago, I watched the Fierce Five win gold from the same couch set in our little … [Read more…]

I’m going back to school: my dream and the plan

April 6, 2016 by Aprille 4 Comments

My college years were filled with drama and exhaustion. Going back to school was pretty much the last thing I wanted to do. Ever. Until a year ago. But this story begins long before. I remember the first time I sat in the office of the “Behavioral Health” clinic on post at Fort Knox, Kentucky. Checking … [Read more…]

What my dying plants taught me about self care

March 28, 2016 by Aprille 2 Comments

I grew up in a house full of plants. My mom has a real knack for tending for houseplants, and it showed in the Fika trees, ivy, African violets, and spider plants that reproduced like bunnies at Easter time that always graced our household decor. When I got married, our house had plants. It wasn’t … [Read more…]

When GROWING means your blog {baby steps into blog monetization}

January 22, 2016 by Aprille 7 Comments

It was a few months ago when I was walking home from taking Ezra to school, listening to a Voxer message from my friend, Kathryn, and she mentioned, in passing, that she was close to making $30,000 with her blog in the past year. I was shocked honestly. This girl, already heroic in so many … [Read more…]

Grow – my #oneword365 for 2016 {#growingrace2016}

January 1, 2016 by Aprille 6 Comments

The cursor blinks on this white blank space. My mind and heart know exactly what I want to write – in idea. But what words to start with? 2015 marked 10 years since 2005. Which may not be a big deal to you, but it is to me. In 2005 I turned 18. I graduated … [Read more…]
