Have Courage!
I have a few poems that are my all time favorites. This is one of them. It reminds me that to have courage when I need it most I must already have it within me. I must nurture my courage each day as I step out of my comfort zone and do hard thing after hard thing.

Fathers: Parent or Playmate Part 2
We have just made a pretty good argument for Dad’s to parent differently and have different experiences with their children.
