I talk pride and how it has literally broken my back. Why is it so hard to ask for help? Why do we insist on carrying loads alone?? Sometimes our biggest strength is our weakness. Where My Dads @?! We're right here Yo!!

As Dads we get a lot of our purpose and pride from our role as physical protectors of our families. How do we handle the fact that we can't always protect them? If you are anything like me, that thought can keep you up at night, and the older I get, the more I turn to my faith to help me through those moments of doubt and uncertainty. All we can do is show up and be present the best way we know how, and that always means learning and growing as parents.

Yes....I had a meltdown, and it went a lil something like this....

Most parents will experience overwhelming moments where it seem like everything and everyone,including the dog, are conspiring against us. They probably aren't, but in the moment its hard to see that, so we have to be aware of these moments before they have us sitting in the corner crying with a teddy bear or yelling fire like a dragon from a storybook. As dads we have the opportunity to be an example of patience and grace, while doing our best to get everything under control.

Let's talk Legacy and what it means to leave one that's lasting and valuable to all. We'll talk about one of the greatest individual legacies ever, as well as one that's still being written, and one that is personal to me. 

Getting back into the groove with a short episode about continually growing as a dad. Where my dads at?? We right here yo!
