I hate talking about most trending subjects in the media, but this Kanye West situation can't slide...

This past week I've had an interesting time exploring the idea of self-worth, integrity, and the responsibility of others for their own actions. In particular, the dynamics of male/female relationships was a hot topic that I'd like to share this week.

Unfortunately, there was a tragedy in Toronto that touched on these same themes; here are some thoughts on that.

This week we're talking about love; specifically the love men have for each other.  Too often men don't acknowledge it or feel odd about speaking on their feelings.
