Happy Father’s Day!

Today tends to be a bit of an emotional day for many, and I want to acknowledge that. Still, there are several men who have been proud fathers that I want to affirm and encourage today, including mine!

The last time I posted here, it was Mother’s Day, and I had just shared at an event: the “Fearless Women’s Summit” in the Charlotte area (Concord, NC).

For me, preparing for that event was a bit challenging, as it had been years since I stood on a stage to speak to an audience. I am so grateful that I was able to complete my assignment well.

The challenge to show up repeatedly, regardless of whether there is an immediate ROI or not, is to be acknowledged. Sometimes we would rather not – because we’ve already decided that it won’t help us much.

Pushing past negative thoughts to continue doing what you’ve been doing – and perfecting/amplifying/maximizing it – is a skill that many tend to push into the background, or even deny that it’s a thing.

In the same way that I pushed through to deliver my speech to an intimate group in Concord NC, I want to encourage you as a father. The daily task of nurturing and providing for a child may be daunting, boring, or rigorous – but if done with love, patience, and care, you will reap your rewards.

Keep going.

Father’s Day Fun!

This year was one of the best Father’s Days I’ve experienced in a while with my Daddy!

I’m the only sibling that lives close to Daddy, so I had him all to myself.

We’re avid churchgoers, so I took him to my church first (because we have earlier services). We slipped out before the service ended so he could get to his church before service started there. After I took a short break to visit my grandmother I went back to join him for Father’s Day Dinner after service. We talked quite a bit all day, and now I feel so much closer to him than I’ve ever felt.

He’s my only living parent as my mom passed away almost 25 years ago.

I had a GREAT DAY! I LOVE my Daddy!

Happy Belated Father’s Day to all the Dads!
