About Me
I am first, a Christian. Jesus is my example, inspiration, and savior. I fail often, and it is His grace that renews me and continues to give me hope in the middle of challenging times.
Then, I am a wife. Rick Boneski and I will celebrate 25 years this October, 2012. We have grown from friends and marriage partners, into life-long, faithful compadres. He listens to my many words with kindness and understanding. A kindred spirit is an amazing gift.
I am also a devoted mommy to my five kids, ages 21 down to 13. They keep life busy and eventful, the good, the bad, and the ugly; but mostly the good. I am passionate about them and their futures, sometimes to a fault. I have home-educated them in some form all through the years, and it has been a privilege to serve them.
There are days when I am an employee. My job is amazing! I get to teach childbirth, babycare, and breastfeeding classes for a highly respected hospital system. I love it! I get paid to share encouragement and practical support to parents-in-the-making.
Then, of course, I am just me. April (Ahola) Boneski, born in California to two Northwest parents. So, my toes are webbed, even if I moved here late in my high school years. I love my mama. I said good-bye to my Dad in April (2012), and know that I will see him soon in Heaven.
And then, I am a writer. This blog is great exercise for me. Thank you for reading. May you be encouraged, admonished, inspired, and blessed.
