Peace in your life is attainable.-But oddly enough, often times peace is only attainable through aggressive means.-Standing up, not backing down, fighting for your values and losing things/people along the way.-That may go over your head…but listen closely…-A peaceful man isn’t always a safe man.-Sometimes a peaceful man is a dangerous man, one capable of violence in the name of peace for himself and his family.-That isn’t always understood by most folks.-But rest assured, it should be respected.-Have a peaceful day, God Bless.

And of course I said, “yes”. He also asked if the boys could jump in…most people know my boys through my podcast as well.:I then realized the guy on the right you see in...

There are a lot of things that make up what a “Man” should be.-Growing up I felt one of those things was to know how to work with your hands.-I never had the male roll model around to teach me this…and for a while I played the victim because of it.-Yes, a Man is a provider, a protector, a leader, a symbol of strength. -But, he’s a lot of other things as well…or he should be.-As I’ve gotten older I’ve wanted to improve on becoming all of those things…probably because I feel it’s one of the reasons my marriage failed.-And...
