Personally, April 2021 was a hectic month full of personal milestones. April is the moth of my daughter’s and husband’s birthdays. I got my first vaccine shot. And, I HIT 1000 YOUTUBE SUBSCRIBERS!!! I admit it’s been hard the past few weeks as I’ve tried to balance life, paying gig, and the channel. But, …
