I’m thankful that I have an “essential” job right now. I know there are a lot of people tonight that don’t. Maybe you are in that group. And you sit there wondering what you are going to do. How are you going to pay your bills. How will you answer the questions your kids have. How do you maintain a sense of calm and collection in the midst of seeming chaos. How… Read More
I’ll be honest, I’m a young parent. Young in the sense of my actual parenting experience spans just over 4 years. And I openly admit I don’t know a lot, I’m still learning. While I’ve worked with kids and families a lot in the past, parenting your own kids is different. I can’t just say “good luck” and go home to my kid-free life! Now I have an 11 year old daughter,… Read More

A new year is here. Even greater, a new decade. I don’t know about you, but for me there are things in the last year and decade that are a part of my past I wish could be undone. Things I’ve said, things I’ve done. Most done out of selfish immaturity. Some to myself, some to others. My guess is, you can relate at some level. The truth is, we’ve all made… Read More
There was a time she didn’t touch both ends of the couch. She would fall asleep snuggled up with me, even though she adamantly said I wasn’t her dad. Things have changed over the three years I’ve been a part of her life. She now says “I love you” back to me. She calls me “dad” when referring to me with her friends, even when she knows I can hear her. She… Read More
