beautiful pieces of the puzzle

Time for something new...


don't know why, but this pic has been hanging in my drafts folder and not posting... too funny.

The waiting time

I have been remiss. I thought I would continue to fill this space with posts throughout the re-design process. I thought I could still find ways to encourage and share in the midst of all of the craziness of the months that might pass in the process.

But I let the moments slip by. Moments of sleepy, sick, or sad or of "holy moley this is too much"... and I wrote nothing. I crawled into a pseudo-comfy spot and tried to wait out all that was happening in and around me. I thought I could wait until things changed. Until there was more "happy" to tell. Until there was heart enough to look out and find someone to lift and encourage with my rambling thoughts.

I missed the chance.

I have tried to understand the last few months. Tried to put words to the questions, even where there are no visible answers. Tried to smile and say, "I'm fine." Tried to be honest, too. And mostly I have just found myself with no words. Quiet. Ready to listen. Finally hoping to hear.

One of the most amazing phenomena lately has emerged from the quiet that I hoped would heal me. The quiet I thought would make everything make sense. Instead of finding answers, happiness, or renewal, I have found stillness.

Instead of allowing myself just enough rest to feel better, I have been swallowed up in an entirely new place of rest. These hands-- the ones who fear becoming a devil's tool-- are still. No works done. This mouth-- the one that ALWAYS wants to have the words that bring comfort, encouragement, laughter, and balm-- has been silenced. No words come. This heart-- so full of questions and so eager to believe-- has been filled to overflowing with the kindness of strangers. The provision of resources. The blessing of shared tears and co-mingled grief.

And so I don't miss another opportunity to thank these "strangers"-- the ones bearing dishes lovingly offered so I can rest, great books to relish in the wait, words to salve my heart, and help so I will be still-- they have allowed me to listen to their own stories. They have become friends. Pulled into my world by circumstances that don't make sense, these souls have given me connection in a way I had longed for and not been able to speak. They have become... community. I don't know if I will see some of them in the future or if our paths just crossed in THIS season, but I am so grateful. Not just for the "done" and "said", but for the love embodied in each moment.

say cheese!

Ok... the changes are coming! Keep watching this spot... I'll be back with fun, fresh updates! And maybe even a new look to the whole thing. See you soon!

Oh, and updates on my fundraising for the Clean Water Project. That half-marathon will be here in NO TIME!

Pampered and purposeful!

Please read this and consider. Disclaimer: This is NOT a request for donations.

Many of you know that I joined a friend to train for my first Half-Marathon in Dallas at the end of October...  But here is what you don’t know:

About a year ago, my parents’ hometown water source became badly contaminated. The couple hundred folk who lived there had to drive over 30 miles to the nearest grocery to buy bottled water for cooking and drinking, and that went on for MONTHS. That got me thinking about things we take for granted, like clean water.

Did you know that over a billion people here and around the world have NO ACCESS to clean water? I couldn’t believe it. 1,000,000,000 people.. a BILLION?!?!? This is FIXABLE!!!
I need your help! Would you PLEASE consider two easy requests:

1.  Loan me your face for twenty minutes, at a time that works for you. Fast, fun, and free, and at your convenience...how easy is that? 

2. PLEASE refer to me EVERY adult you know for a courteous OFFER of my services and professionalism with no pressure... every face counts in this race and someone you know might just be looking for my services!   

But, April, how does that help provide clean water sources, you ask? I'll tell you!

My October 27 Race supports building clean water wells for the World Vision Clean Water Project:
http://support.worldvision.org/site/PageServer?pagename=Impact_WhyCleanWater

I will not pressure you to buy a single thing.You will help get the word out just by taking a few minutes for yourself or sharing that time with a friend or two.   But here is the coolest part: make a purchase, with satisfaction guarantee, and be excited: I am GIVING ten percent of every sale to the CLEAN WATER PROJECT!  My personal goal: FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS before Race Day! You read that right!!!

AND I will publicly display my progess meter here on my blog and facebook so that you can SEE that I am serious and hold me accountable!

THERE IS another HUGE benefit in it for you! :)  And I do mean huge!

Book me for twenty minutes and you will be helping a sister community, AND you will be entered into our 2012 Get Beautiful, Give Back campaign. You get fun and answers to the skin and makeup questions that plague you (I am an expert on those!). AND you get entered to win:

* AWARD WINNING powerhouse skin care and mineral makeup,
* $5000 charitable donation to your favorite 501(c)3 charity,
* $2500 Visa Gift Cards, for your own personal shopping spree! I had 3 finalists in the summer/fall contest... and they won BIG prizes!


I hold sessions throughout the week by appointment: in person, on the phone, or by Skype. April@faceinfive.com or   5014706746   Please help me fight for the most basic thing in life: clean water! 

Behind every great company... is a REAL person!

I know there is a LOT of junk out there... the internet is not policed for truth, just opinion. So when someone takes the time to make a great, succinct video AND tell the real story behind a company's origins, that just thrills me!

Please enjoy this VERY short story... if you would like more detail, her very short autobiography is a wonderful glimpse into the life of a woman who overcame much so that women everywhere could have a better chance!
