Hello Mid-Bloomers!  Hope all is well with you as we get closer to the end of summer. Many of you are aware of my love for storytelling and my deep curiosity about other people's journeys and coping mechanisms.  This is what inspired me to launch my own podcast, "Living In Mid-Bloom." I use this platform to delve into the details of everyday life and inform universal truths in everyone's journey, including my own. Well, I have a special surprise for you. For the first time I'm sharing an excerpt from my yet to be titled memoir! Oops; I guess I gave away the surprise in the title of this episode!  Anyhoo, there are a myriad of ways of storytelling. My memoir is another way for me to express who I am and continue to share my personal journey of discovering the great love of my life; myself. How are you sharing your story? How does your journey connect with where you are now or where you want to be? Will you allow yourself to move forward even while fear  has a tight grip on you? Fear will always be there. It's about going through it. In order to grow we must reveal our truth and stand in it. I am brave. It doesn't mean I 'm not afraid. I love myself for where I was and where I am. In a world where women of a certain age are often overlooked, April Pruitt is on a mission to flip the narrative and redefine what it means to be middle-aged.
