Whoo boy, it's the last day of April! I'm not going to sugar coat it; following the bizarre trajectory of the first quarter of 2015, April offered many unexpected challenges (for me and for many of my loved ones too) and I'm eager to flip the page to May and have an awesome rest of the year (that's not too optimistic, right?)! However, it was a great month for content; catch up on back reading and enjoy this roundup via the Best of April! Happy almost May!
