Since we currently have somewhere in the area of a foot and a half of snow on the ground, I’m feeling very glad to have the President’s Day holiday off work. We don’t have to go anywhere today, and it looks like the most logical thing to do in this weather is exactly that, go nowhere!
Hope you’re enjoying your Monday, wherever you are.:)
This weekend is my wife and my’s sixth anniversary. As it approaches I’ve been thinking quite a bit about marriage and priorities. I’ve been thinking about the fact that I feel somewhat out of touch with my wife right now. Part of that is because we’ve both been dealing with a lot of things. Her…

Those were good things, but at the end of it all, I kept coming back to something I talked about at the end of 2019 on the Find Your Voice Podcast, and then again on this very blog on January 1 of 2020.
“I’m Still Here”

As the full year has come to a close, I was sent the paperwork to become an “official” volunteer for the PLuna Foundation, the larger organization behind Male Abuse Awareness Week. It…
I got an email the other day with a sort of throw away comment that bothered me. Not so much in an offensive way, more of a “huh?”. The comment was this “My goal in life is to make everyone happy”. Now that sounds nice, and on first reading it was that sort of self-sacrificing,…
