Today I've been pondering a post that I saw on Facebook by my friend Shon Hart. If you don't know Shon is the creator and Executive Director of InvolvedDad. He invited his son Levi to one of his speaking events and had his son share his daily affirmations.

It reinforced in my mind the power of affirmations to help you become the man, husband and father you aspire to be.

A lot of people complain about their father-in-law? But my father-in-law is next level! Next level AWESOME! This father's day I wanted to pay tribute to him and all of you immigrant fathers who have fled your home to build a new home in a different country.

Plus my good friend  @ShonHart  from InvolvedDad drops into share a few thoughts!
