Parenting 

You know that I am a big follower and a big advocate for Movember and what they do during the month of November, and how we bring awareness to mental health and men's health in general.  What Movember has done now, they've actually developed a new site, and it's called the “Familyman”.  It’s parenting strategies that have been put together designed with fathers in mind, to help progress their knowledge and be better parents, and just to help navigate how to deal with young kids, especially during the lockdown and the amount of time that we're all spending together at home.  Go to familyman.movember.com.  They have a bunch of episodes already set up and these are between 10- and 15-minute episodes and they deal with a whole bunch of lifestyle and parenting type issues.  These are free content funded from the donations made through the years to Movember fundraising. 

Mental Health 

I want to talk to all the single people out there as Valentine's Day approaches. I was doing some research and for people that are stuck at home, a lot of people hate this day.  This can be a huge detriment to our mental health and how we feel in the days approaching, including this date.  A website I found was verywellmind.com, the 10 best ways to enjoy Valentine's Day alone.  

10 best ways to spend Valentine's Day Solo.  

  1. Ignore the day 
  2. be kind to yourself - cook and eat your favourite meal, engage in some goal setting, engage in hobbies, sleep late, take the day off work, write a gratitude journal 
  3. Be your own secret admirer.  
  4. Avoid love triggers 
  5. Make other plans 
  6. FaceTime or Zoom, or Houseparty with other single people. 
  7. Phone a family member or friend  
  8. Brighten somebody else's day 
  9. keep up your daily routine 
  10. pamper yourself 

Dapper 

I want everybody to think about how to be classy through the weekend. Let people enjoy their day. Don't be a downer on somebody else's day. There's no need to be that dark cloud over somebody else's head.  Words are powerful, I want you to be careful before you speak or before you text, or before you tweet.  

I have the pink shirts that will be available this week, and it's going on sale for the anti-bullying campaign with some proceeds going to The Foundry in Penticton
