April 6, 2018 by Trish 4 Comments

April Blog Post Ideas, Social Media Prompts and MoreIs it too late to say welcome to April? I swear it feels like this year is flying by and the months are getting shorter. Of course, I know that’s not the case but it sure feels like it.

Here’s to April bringing us breezy days filled with sunshine and fluffy clouds, beautiful flowers in full bloom and brief rain showers followed by full rainbows.

As a blogger, you know how hard it can be to find the time to write and often, the topic to write about. We know content is incredibly important so each month we’re giving you a blog prep kit with blog post ideas, social media prompts (aka hashtag holidays), and some noteworthy dates to add to your planner. We’ll also toss in a few fun, wacky and wild holidays just to liven things up a bit, as well.

Welcome to April

This month, be sure to enter our April JAB Box giveaway, enjoy our Spring Pinterest Boards, check out what’s new on our “Eat, Sleep, Blog, Repeat” podcast and take advantage of the blogging tips and resources we’ll be sharing on our Facebook page.

    Your final thoughts were to share our favorite part about April and/or Spring. I am grateful for the huge list of blogs and resources. I love spring because I love summer. Spring is when the plants need to be set and the world starts to wake up for a couple of seasons. I get to see the previous years outdoor grooming as well as plant my garden and any new exciting landscaping plants that I have been waiting on for the fall and winter before I can put them in the earth. Spring for me is like baking an amazing dessert. Lots of time and energy goes into it accompanied by wonderful smells(flowering plants) then you have to wait for it to bake. Summer is the eating of the dessert and enjoying the fruits of your labors.

Isn’t that always how it is? looking for the next season to be the best one. lol Although if this next year looks this good then I can see that spring will be amazing!

No one has escaped the challenges that 2020 has of No one has escaped the challenges that 2020 has offered⁣

The question is: Are you going to let 2020 define you? Or are you going to create your own narrative?⁣

I  know you. The over achiever.  The planner. The one who doesn't appreciate failure, changes, or surprises. You desire to have things under control -- and 2020 was NOT in our control.⁣
⁣
Because over the past 7 years of living life as a coach, I wanted to control everything. Yet - things happened that I couldn't control. And my mindset was tested daily.⁣
⁣
❗️Getting fired 3 times!⁣
❗️Almost getting evicted.⁣
❗️Having collections & IRS calling me daily.⁣
❗️Having to shut down my first business.⁣

We are now wrapping up the year of 2020:⁣
✏️Do you have a sense of certainty on your direction?⁣
✏️Do you feel solid in your confidence to make it though?⁣
✏️Do you feel like 2020 is happening TO you, or FOR you?⁣
✏️Do you experience anxiety, and want to move into joy and gratitude?⁣
⁣
If these questions resonate with you, you've come to the right place. In this 𝐅𝐑𝐄𝐄 𝐂𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐲 & 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐟𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞, (starting on Oct. 22) I will teach you...how to have clarity, confidence, and certainty [plus much more!]⁣

Don’t mind me, I’m just calling up my friends Don’t mind me, I’m just calling up my friends to see if they want to come out to the polls with me. Everything's better with friends right?

Did you know research shows that reminding 3 friends to vote can significantly increase voter turnout? So stop scrolling on the gram’ and start texting or calling some friends – lets make sure we show up and show out at the polls this election!

✨HOW TO STAY MOTIVATED/ ON TRACK ✨ 1 plan ou ✨HOW TO STAY MOTIVATED/ ON TRACK ✨

1  plan out your workouts for the week — so you have a plan it helps keep you accountable. I look at my schedule for the week and figure out what classes I can take.

2  MEAL PREP — if you live a busy life, it is so important to think ahead and plan your meals out in advance so you aren’t tempted to eat out/unhealthy foods. 

3  DONT BE AFRAID TO TRY SOMETHING NEW — this is so important, if you find what you love it will be the best part of your day. 

I am by no means a fitness expert, these are just a few tips that have helped me along the way.

Crisp #Fall air and sunshine. Nothing better this Crisp #Fall air and sunshine. Nothing better this time of year. This iconic church stands in New Bern and has plenty of quiet spots on its beautiful grounds for reflection. It also has a playground for the kids. It’s currently decorated for Fall and Halloween with lots of spots for beautiful photos. 🍁

WE ARE BLACK WOMEN.....we build...we don’t tear down other BLACK WOMEN! We have felt the pain of being torn down and we have decided that we will be deliberate about building others! 
All too often, we find it easier to criticize each other instead of building each other up! With all of the negativity going around, let’s spread something positive! Upload one picture of yourself.....ONLY you. Then tag as many sisters to do the same. Let’s build ourselves up instead of tearing ourselves down 💕COPY and PASTE💕

It’s not my job to educate you about racism, I’m tired and exhausted. I’m a young Black educated woman who is aware of my privilege which hasn’t stopped me from experiencing Racism, so are many of my Black educated young Black sisters and brothers. I’m not looking for a pity party but CHANGE. So I’m going to use my energy on sharing ways to uplift our community. When a Black woman speaks up don’t tell her she’s aggressive while my White pairs are addressed as confident. Posting a black square as solidarity is nice but Brands- Pay Black Creators and stop asking us to work for exposure or products when we use our resources, time, money and energy to create the same content. We shouldn’t have to work twice as hard to be heard, visible and taken care off. We deserve to be treated equally. I shouldn’t have to ask to see people who like me on your Instagram feed, travel campaigns or campaigns in general. We shouldn’t have to ask for this things, it’s the bare minimum. I’m appreciative of the brands who have done this all along. We can create change together🤎 #amplifymelatedvoices #supportBlackWomen #SupportblackCreators #Payblackcreators
