April was definitely a busy month for me, but I got a lot accomplished which I am excited about. Here are my updates on my April goals.

Starting a Podcast
I did it! I technically took The Collective Perspective Podcast live on May 1, but I was able to get a lot done in April.

• Record the first few episodes - After figuring out the equipment I was able to record the Introduction episode and the first official episode. I'll post those two in consecutive weeks, but then I plan on having an episode air every other week.
• Finish setting up Facebook page and Instagram - I wouldn't say that social media is exactly my forte, but I've got something set up that I'm happy with. If you haven't yet, you should check them out.
• Get hosting set up - I set everything up with my podcast hosting site, but I'm still working on getting it to all the podcast apps. You should be able to search for it on iTunes and Google Play, but Stitcher is being fickle.

If you're at all interested in listening to the podcast I'd really love it if you would check out my website and/or take a listen to the introduction episode. I'm really looking forward to seeing how God uses this.

Personal Growth

I managed to get a bit of reading done this month. I met my nonfiction goal of reading two books this month which puts me at 9/15 towards my 2018 goal. As usual, I've linked to my personal reviews for some of the books.

• Non-fiction
• The Explicit Gospel by Matt Chandler (review)
• 936 Pennies: Discovering the Joy of Intentional Parenting by Eryn Lynum (review)
• Fiction
• First Impressions: A Contemporary Retelling of Pride and Prejudice by Debra White Smith (review)
• A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L'Engle (review)

Health & Fitness

• Still continuing to incorporate healthy meals that everyone enjoys. One night when Lee was out I made this Instant Pot Teriyaki Chicken that was good.
• I was finally able to get up early on some of the days I work to reach my workout goal. Yay me! Now to keep it up.

Home Improvement

• My garden is (almost) done! Lee worked like crazy to help me get it ready and I got almost everything planted. We didn't get mulch on everything because we ran out, but we'll get to that when he gets back in town. Hopefully now I can keep everything alive!

Connection

• I kind of fell off with the dates with the girls. Every weekend has been packed so I'm really hoping to get back to it this month. Plus, now that it's warm we can do some one-on-one time at the park! Oh, and snow cones. Don't forget the snow cones.

Anybody else still keeping up with their goals? How is it going?
