I know there is only one more day of Appreciation April but lets be honest...I've not been a very good blogger this month... So I'm making this blog my last one for this month... but this post will cover a lot of ground.
Team Crowley/Crowley Brothers/ Steph Ciotta-
In October of 2010 I was introduced to the music of The Crowley Brothers by my dear friend Labanya. I quickly became a fan and was introduced to other fans of theirs. Team Crowley is where I've met many of my closest friends. To name a few- Fiona, Christian, Lizzie, Tym, Iulia, Dominique, and there are MANY others... Then through knowing about the Crowley Brothers I learned about Steph Ciotta's music.
The Crowley Brothers and Steph may or may not know about this, but after I graduated College I was fighting depression because I couldn't find a job, I no longer had a place to belong but through Team Crowley I found a new place... So through that I appreciate ALL of Team Crowley, The Crowley Brothers, and Steph Ciotta and I'm thankful for the opportunity to have met 6 of these awesome people in person.
These people have become a community, a family to me. My brothers and sisters...and as some of them call me "mama" I guess I should say "daughters" too :)
ACCers- I've touched on my ACC (Agenesis of the Corpus Callosum) a lot in past posts, But I want to dedicate this section of this post to my fellow ACCers. When I was diagnosed with ACC almost 7 years ago my heart broke- yet I was happy to know what my difference truly was. Then I was introduced to fellow ACCers like Sarah, Brian, Jeffrey, Jolene, Jurie, Kyle, and others. Sarah and I have become like sisters, and Brian and Jeffrey are such an encouragement to me. Jolene and I have a deep friendship built through understanding each other. Other than them I've become friends with many parent's of those with ACC. I appreciate each and every one of them because without these amazing people I would never have learned to truly accept my ACC and learn to love myself. I'd have never learned to look at my ACC as a blessing but also something that I can try to overcome (on the days when it's not such a blessing) They are my family.
Finally- Those material things that I appreciate...the things that aren't as important to me as the experiences and people...but that still hold a special place in my heart. These things are Books, Jane Austen novels and the Regency Era, Harry Potter, and Hunger Games... Then since I already mentioned music... Movies, I LOVE old movies, I could watch them all day. Anything from the 30s-50s, then The 80s... I LOVE old Hollywood. Oh and The tv show Ugly Betty, it will forever be a favorite.
Now.... The most important thing that I appreciate- The one thing/person above ALL else. My Lord and Savior. Above anything I am a Christian I am forever in love with my Lord. He has saved me time and time again. He blesses me constantly and makes me feel so loved. I appreciate being saved, I appreciate His love for me and I appreciate everything about My relationship with Him. I appreciate the opportunity to learn more about Him...and I appreciate Him for putting the people He has put in my life.
Though I haven't blogged much, I've spent EVERY DAY this Appreciation April focusing on what and who I appreciate. I've learned so much this month and I'm thankful you've joined me on this journey! I love you All!
I'll Announce soon what May will be all about ;)

Appreciation April: My Mentors and more
Sorry I've not been very good at blogging for Appreciation April. It's been a busy month. Thats not an excuse, just a fact! But I'm back, and still appreciating SO much.
I've been blessed to meet many amazing women in my life that I look up to, I have several "mama's" and several mentors. Today's Appreciation April is all about them. Yes there will be names. :)
My mother- She is more than a mom, she's a friend and she's a mentor. My mother is one of the sweetest, most wonderful people I've ever met. She's been through SO MUCH in life and come out on top. No one knows my mom like I do. She's stubborn, sweet, kind, beautiful, and SO STRONG. She also has such a heart to serve the Lord and learn more about him daily! When I was younger, I remember thinking I didn't want to be like my mom, but now... now I know that if I'm anything like her I will be truly blessed.
Anita- She's again one of the absolute strongest people I know. She's a very determined person. Above that she has one of the kindest of hearts, a heart to help others. I worked as her assistant for CARES for 6 months and learned SO MUCH from her. She's still a very dear friend and I'm so thankful to God for bringing her into my life. (mama bear 2!)
Aunt Kay- This woman is kooky (in a good way) she's crazy awesome, has a heart for the Lord that is just fascinating to see! She enjoys life, loves everyone she meets (even the ones that are hard to love.) She's inspiring, beautiful, sweet and just fabulous!
Mama Sue- The mother of the girls in Everlife... I started out my life after HS by being in the Task Force for Everlife and was the state leader for Kentucky for several months before I went to college. Mama Sue and I found each other on Facebook a few years after I had been in college and reconnected that way. Her testimony is one that is amazing and once again she's strong and loves to have fun!
Gena- She has had so much going on in her life, her testimony is beautiful...and in recent months faith has been tested yet she's still SO strong. This woman is beautiful inside and out. She and her family have become like family to my mother and I.
Laura L. Smith- My writing mentor, and I'm not sure she even knows it! :) It's always been a dream of mine to write...and I started to lose hope in that dream but then I met Laura. Her faith is strong and her books are written so beautifully! She's taken the time to talk to me and understand what makes me tick. She's encouraged me and helped me to see that I have something to say and should just say it!
These 6 women have similar personalities, and I've been drawn to each of them for different reasons. They each have their amazing testimonies, they are women in whom one can see God when they look at them. They each inspire me, and I'm so thankful that they've opened their hearts and lives to me. More than that, I'm thankful to God for choosing these 6 women to mentor me with their own special touch. I love that he's chosen so many amazing women to help guide me to the woman he wants me to be.
There are other amazing women that I call my other mama's they are protective, amazing, and I look up to them as well. Suzanne, Laquita, Debbie, and my Aunt Debbie. There are others also. If I didn't mention you and I've called you "Other mama" you are still VERY important to me but my brain is all foggy right this second. Just know I'm thankful that you've each invited me to be another child of yours. I love all my other mama's!
Laura Kurk, Jennifer Murgia, and the other Authors of playlist Fiction, you are all quickly becoming very important to me and I appreciate you as I already said in my post for that.
There are a lot of friends I have that aren't mentors but we have mutual respect for each other and I want to say I appreciate them too: Stephanie C, Jennifer C., Stefanie S, Esther H., Labanya K., Ameet K., Katelyn W., Ashley H., Rhiannon, Katie B., Jacq C., Carla C., and Mary Beth L. Thank you all for being so amazing. Again there are others, but my brain is not letting me think. I love and appreciate ALL of my friends, but the ones that I have a special friendship with the ones that I have mutual respect for... you all understand the way our friendship is. :) Thank you for letting God use you in my life, and I hope you feel the same about me.

Appreciation April: A Smile As Big As the Moon
Todays post is brought to you by the book by Mike Kersjes, this book has become a Hallmark Hall of Fame movie and is very dear to my heart.
A Smile As Big As The Moon is about a class of Special Needs students and their teachers, who get the opportunity to go to Space Camp in the 1980s! I wont give you many details, because this is a must see for anyone who is considered "Special Needs" or anyone who has a heart for those considered Special Needs.
As a child I was the the daughter of a man who worked with Special Needs adults and a mother who was a Special Education teacher in Elem/Middle school. The people I met, touched my heart even when I was young... I saw how hard they worked and loved them as though they were family...
Then in High School was blessed with a best friend who was in the Special Education program. He lived close to me and I cared for him like a sister does a brother. He was bullied and I stood up to those bullies right along with him. They left him alone!
Then in college I found out something that my parent's and I all knew deep down, but it hadn't yet been confirmed until my freshman year of college. I had a brain disorder(ACC, Agenesis of the Corpus Callosum), I had always been a person with "special needs" overlooked by the school system because they didn't want their Special Education teach to have a daughter in Special Ed. I was shocked, but I quickly decided to be an overcomer, I now knew WHY I was limited and that was the first step to overcoming those limits. You have to understand something before you can overcome it. It was my time, I was ready.
Then Last year I was introduced to the movie A Smile As Big As The Moon. The moment I found out there was a book too, I bought it and read it...twice. I was captivated by this story, I found people to relate to, I found a Special Education teacher that inspired me as much as my Mother always has... I found a group of people that I knew would believe in me even though they don't even know ANYTHING about me. I "met" through this book and movie a group of students, now adults, older than me, but still adults like me...who I could identify with... and I no longer felt alone.
I'm still finding my place in this world, But every time I doubt myself, my place, my life, every time I doubt that I can still over come things, I think of the fact that I have graduated college, but I also remember that there are so many others like me...I think of Mike Kersjes and his first class that went to Space Camp. I praise God for them all, say a prayer for each of them, and I APPRECIATE them. I appreciate them because they inspire me, and so many others and I'm so thankful for them. I doubt this will ever be read by any of them but if by the off chance it does... THANK YOU ALL!

Appreciation April: Music
Today's Appreciation April post is a what not a who in essence. You see Music- in many ways has saved my life.
As an ACCer- Music has helped my brain gain different neural pathways for the two sides to communicate.
As a spiritual person, music is the way I communicate the things I'm going through.
Music has been a constant support in my life, through the loss of my father, getting diagnosed with ACC, meeting my friends at college and everything.
In college I tried to be quite supportive of my friends in bands, especially when it came to my friend Josh's band- Reconciled. There was also Fever Fever, and whatever band my friends Matt and Jerry were in. Before that I was in street teams for Jeremy Camp & Everlife...
After I graduated college I heard of Steph Ciotta and The Crowley Brothers from youtube and I support them as well. They really helped me stay out of depression after I graduated. The Crowley Brothers and Team Crowley will be getting their own post soon.
Then also after I graduated college my friend Carla and I have met bands such as Satellites and Sirens, If We Run, The Royal Knockout, Above Only, Mended, Pioneer, and many many others. Music has been a huge part of my life in so many ways. It truly has saved my life. That is why tonights post is about music.
Be looking for future posts about Team Crowley/Crowley Brothers, A Smile As Big As The Moon/Special Needs, Old Movies, My mother, Anita Gilbert, ACCers, AppaPhil, and many other things and people.

Appreciation April: Best Friends
Today's post is dedicated to my best friends.
When it comes to best friends I'm some what picky. I have about 5 people that I call best friends, but two of them have been through fire with me.
One I've known for 13+ years, All through High School we were best friends... the stories we have are... crazy and awesome. Today she was a huge support system to me, standing by me during one of the most goofy experiences of my life.
The second bestie is someone I met when I was a freshman in college...she lives many moons away on the other side of the US, but she is my best friend, she has supported me today as well and without her I'd be crazy lost.
I appreciate ALL of my friends, but more so I appreciate all 5 of my best friends... and even more than that I apppreciate my 2 main besties because without them I dont know what I would do!

Appreciation April- Playlist Fiction
Hey everyone, today starts the Appreciation April blog posts and I thought that since yesterday was the launch day for the new line of YA Fiction, from Playlist Fiction, I would start off by telling you about that- while also sharing why I appreciate Playlist Fiction so much.
For the last few months my life has been a bit crazy. I started a new part time job, my grandmother moved back in with us, and I was losing friends as I felt my life was falling apart. Still I didn't complain, I held fast to the one truth I knew deep down- God would help me out of this, and all I had to do was lean on him. So I did.
I became twitter friends a while back with an amazing Author, Laura Smith, she and a few other authors got together, and Playlist Fiction was born, as was the street team. Anyone that knows me, knows how much I LOVE to read, so this was a great fit for me. I found a group of friends that I fit in with and I was feeling truly blessed.
Playlist Fiction tackles real life issues with their characters. There is Christian themes in some, mystery in others. These authors write their novels with such a real-life feel, you can connect with each character from the college stories of Hannah, Palmer, Kat, and Claire, to the Loss of Meg and her connection with Henry, then of course the love and struggles and scars of Evie and Chase!
Yesterday Playlist Fiction launched and released 3 of their books for kindle. These books are It's Complicated by Laura Smith, Glass Girl by Laura Kurk, and then Between These Lines by Jennifer Murgia. You can check out the page and find out how to get the books here: http://playlistfiction.com/
To know a little more you can check out my playlist on youtube with videos about the books: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLnYVlvjKE1HafWGysZLPTSGeuJcjvs6Dg
I appreciate Playlist Fiction because these books have helped me reconnect with a piece of myself that I was starting to lose. They've helped me gain a sense of freedom, and helped me feel like I'm really not alone. (I know God's always with me, but now I feel like I have Hannah, Palmer, Kat, Claire, Meg, and the others with me too. It's amazing how supported you feel when reading about characters in books)
Beyond that Playlist Fiction has offered me friendships that I already treasure. The friendships with the Authors themselves, and other people in the Street Team. I've found a family of people that don't judge me, that love me, that support me, and in turn I hope and pray I do the same for them So I Appreciate Playlist Fiction.
I hope anyone wondering about Playlist Fiction found this post helpful! I also hope that you all get out your Kindle and other e-readers and... DOWNLOAD THE DRAMA! :) Blessings!
---Until next time, It's Lynnea saying... Keep your head up and read a book ;)

Motivation March:Final Post
So I was slacking a little on the Motivation March stuff this month. This month has been a crazy one! Sorry I've not done a good job of keeping up! But I'm back and my last post is on Bullying.
I've seen countless people getting bullied in my life and something that most people do not know, is that I was bullied. All through School from Kindergarten to 12th grade, then for 5 years at college.
Anyone that knows me, knows that I'm pretty good at the snappy come backs.
At 8 years old my church told me I was two young to get saved, so I COULDN'T. So instead of getting upset I took my time to look at each person that had come up to "pray" with me and I said "You deny me a place in the family of God but would God deny me a place in Heaven" My father then smiled and said "well you heard her!" and that is the night I got saved.
In High School some kid told me to "Go to Hell" after he bumped into me in the hallway (yeah... I know...) Anyway so I looked at him and said "Actually I've been there. The Devil asked me to bring you back with me. Be ready in about *looks at watch* 15 minutes" The boy walked away shocked, never heard from him again.
In college one of my professors told me I was going to fail his class because I had a late assignment after my computer crashed. I told him "No I'm not, It's like my purse says. "I can do ALL THINGS through Christ who strengthens me. I WILL get an A in your class." I did get that A.
And AFTER college I've been told by countless churches they don't mind that I'm female but they wont hire me because I'm a SINGLE female. So I got really annoyed at once church and them basically that they could find me a husband.
Some of you may not think that some of that is bullying... but here is the definition of bullying: "Bullying-
