The Dena Jo Morning Show!

Pre-Fourth of July Show - Start your day with a little sugar‼️😁❤️💕#146

Today is Monday July 3rd.
On today's show:
Today's word of the day is  " freedom "
//:  the power or right to act, speak, or think as one wants without hindrance or restraint:
Or
The state of not being subject to or affected by (a particular undesirable thing)
**Quote of the day:
"There's no greater freedom than the FREEDOM to be yourself. Give yourself that gift, and CHOOSE to surround yourself with those who appreciate you exactly as you truly are!" - Doe Zantamata
"Better to die fighting for freedom then be a prisoner all the days of your life." ― Bob Marley
"May we think of freedom, not as the right to do as we please but as the opportunity to do what is right." — Peter Marshall
 
What does freedom mean??
We read about freedom, dream about freedom, rejoice in the notion of freedom, teach, advocate, and hope for freedom, but what do we mean by freedom?
Does it mean time freedom, the ability to choose what you want to do without worry?
Or is it financial freedom, not worry about money?
Or is more about the freedom of speech and the ability to think, wonder & yes complain about the world around you!
Former President of the United States, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, said it quite beautifully in a speech that there are these four freedoms:
 
-  Freedom of speech and expression
-  Freedom of every person to worship God in his or her own way
-  Freedom of want – meaning that economic stability can be achieved.
-  Freedom of fear – meaning that you aren’t in physical danger or fearing for your life or the life of those who you love.
Free to express, worship, live in a stable and peaceful way?
With that in mind, are you free?
 
The bumper stickers are true – freedom isn't free. It's costly and valuable, and it should be treasured and kept safe. We honor our freedom when we enjoy it, celebrate it, and share it.
We’re free to make our own choices and go our own way in life. It’s this freedom to choose that makes us who we’re today.
Each human being has a uniquely personal path, and it’s our personal responsibility to follow it. It’s up to you to decide what you want to do, what you want to be, where you want to go, and how you want to live your life.
The most important thing is that YOU make these decisions yourself; they shouldn’t be made by someone else! You have the freedom of choice!
You have the freedom of choice because we all have different interests and desires; therefore, no one can tell another person what to do with their life or how to live it!  STOP trying to push your agenda, beliefs on others.  In order for society as a whole to not only survive but thrive, it needs a diversity of views and opinions on issues such as religion, politics, economics, etc.

So, Ahron & I went to the Shinedown acoustic free concert in our town.  It was super fun but damn am I happy I do not have to deal with the singles scene.  Oh hell no!  So we saw a Don Johnson look alike and he thought he was all that, I guess at least he was confident.  Well we were in the back up against this back wall and I was on the corner.  On the opposite side of the corner was tray that had silverware and napkins and stuff and then there was a bunch of stools stacked, so there was no place for people to stand, perfect spot.  Well I started smelling this strong odor.  There was a guy right behind me, I watched him move the stools & tray and wiggle his stinkiness right behind me.  He was literally breathing on my back side (neck, shoulder ect.) He started asking me if I wanted a drink, no thank you.  I could not understand him, what I got was he was from Scottland, could not understand why but that he loved it here because he could have guns and a truck.  Ok.  So he is explaining this and these two chicks come up to him. The one knows him and was all giddy and her friend steps up and says, "Do you have a accent?  He said yes and this chick got in between he and I like I  was competition or something.  Take him please, he stinks!!  Gross, you would be with that because he has an accent?  You freakin weirdo!!  I was just glad he was gone.

THERE HAS BEEN A WHOLE LOT OF THINGS BEING THROWN AT PERFORMERS ON STAGE, THE LATEST:
-  Kelsea Ballerini hit in the face by bracelet during concert - Recently P!nk had someone's loved one's ashes thrown at her on stage.
What the heck has been happening at concerts lately? Kelsea Ballerini has become the latest musician to be hit by something thrown from the crowd. In this most recent incident, a video shared on Twitter showed Ballerini was hit in the face by an object while performing in Idaho. On her Instagram story, she confirmed that "someone threw a bracelet" at her and it "hit me in the eye," though she assured fans she's "fine" because this "scared" her more than it hurt her. "We all have triggers and layers of fears way deeper than what is shown, and that's why I walked offstage to calm down and make sure myself, band and crew, and the crowd all felt safe to continue," she said. Bebe Rexha was recently hit in the face by a phone while performing, and a fan's mother's ashes were tossed on stage at a Pink show. Maybe concerts — and fans — were a mistake.

Last day of June Y’all - Start your day with a little sugar‼️😁❤️💕#145

Today is Friday, June 30th
Today we did not get to any trending because I was joined by my close friend Tuddles.  We spoke about the fires in Canada and went over some of the healthy ways to protect yourself from mosquitos.  He explained that using the DEET products and sunscreen could actually make you super sick or kill you.  
Tuddles stayed while Ahron went over all different WWE/Wrestling: WWE Friday Night Smack Down, Money ine the Bank and Ahron's picks and Bamm Bamm gave us his.  They almost picked the same.  I believe there was only one they disagreed on the outcome.
He also went over the USFL Playoffs
- North Division Championship
- South Divison Championship
- Colorado Avalanche schedulell
-WNBA Basketball

It’s hump day Y’all - Start your day with a little sugar‼️😁❤️💕#144

Today is Wednesday, June 28th.
I am going to start of the day with the word of the day & quote of the day. A LITTLE ENCOURAGEMENT IN A WORLD OF HATE, Let's go!
 
Today's word of the day is   " positive "//:  constructive, optimistic, or confident:
 
START A SONG
 
**Quote of the day:
"A positive attitude is something everyone can work on, and everyone can learn how to employ it." — Joan Lunden
 
"Be the reason someone feels loved and believes in the goodness in people.”
 
Being an adult in this world nowadays can change you.  I say it all the time YET the nastiness, self-centered humans gets to you.  I have the bad habit, I have gotten a lot better but I still stuff a lot of the  stuff instead of looking at the situation a bit more positively.
Being positive means you are choosing to see the bright side of things.  That takes practice.  Some are born with it.  My son is like that, not me.  
It is a conscious decision that you have to make on a daily basis. 
It means that you can recognize that struggle and pain are not the only things out there, even if they are the only things you can see at the time.
Even through pain & sorrow, being positive means that you can always find the good in situations or people.
You have faith that things will always get better.
Here are a few tips on being more positive:
**You have a choice every morning when you wake up.  You can embrace the day, start it off with something positive, like a quick workout, a calming meditation or the Dena Jo Podcast…hehehe
Or you can be a grumpy butt either way you will still have to get up and get on with your day.  Your choice.
**Listening to music has a positive effect on the autonomic nervous system, which controls your blood pressure, heartbeat, and your limbic system which is in charge of you emotions and feelings and decreases anxiety.
**Surround yourself with people who bring you up instead of down.  Seriously take a look at the people you spend the majority of time with.  Are they always angry, mad or irritated?  Not sure about you put that turns me off.
You might not be able to control who is around you when you are at work BUT outside of that, have the freaking courage to let go of the people who impact your life negatively.
Likewise, if you are surrounded by people who are constantly positive about their lives, they will be able to influence you to feel the same.
**Have a few TRUSTED friends whom you consider a great listener and trustworthy.
You are able to share with them personal issues that you are not making public for everyone else.  This gives your friend the opportunity to consider another solution to the issue.
**Take a hard look at how you treat people in your life. Is there anywhere you can show more kindness and patience? Can you help out more?
**Positive and happy people practice gratitude.   Research confirms that gratitude increases feelings of positivity and reduces depression.
**I read this tip and really like it, Some call this their “sunshine” box. It's basically a collection of good things people have said about you. Take a peek when you feel down to remind yourself of your positive traits.
**Make and keep a compliment file or box.
When you get a compliment from someone, it is almost like getting a gift. It is positive energy being passed on to you through appreciation. Getting the right compliment can certainly make your day, cheer you up, help you feel appreciated, and definitely help you feel more positive. 
**Give yourself a break.  It is impossible to stay positive if you are always down on yourself and critical of your own work and efforts.
**Encourage others.  Tell them you believe in them.  Letting others know their worth, especially if you are a boss!
**It may seem like sometimes the world is working against us, and negative things are happening all the time.  If you start implementing some of these strategies, you will be able to add more and more positivity in your life and stop focusing so much on the negative.
Do you do something in your life that helps you to feel more positive?  Pop it in the chat.  You never know who it can help.
I really want to figure out this "Sunshine box,"  I know for me seeing positive comments from others fills my heart with so mluch happiness.  I guess that is why I keep every card I get.
**Trending:
- I was talking last week about all the mosquitoes because of all the water. And now there are Malaria has made a comeback in FL & TX.  Five cases have been reported.  Before these cases, locally acquired mosquito borne malaria had not been reported in the U.S. for 20 years.  In 2003, eight people in FL caught the disease.
Typically, within a week to a month of being bitten by a mosquito carrying the malaria-causing parasite, people experience an initial "attack" that lasts hours and has several stages of symptoms, including cold and shivering; then fever, headaches and vomiting; and finally, sweating and fatigue. Additional signs of malaria that doctors look for include an enlarged spleen, mild jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes), enlargement of the liver and increased breathing rate.
I mentioned about the different oils (cinnamon, lavender ect.) now reading that you can use coffee grounds to keep adult mosquitoes at bay.  I have never used this method but going to try it.  Now when you go online there are a bunch of articles why it will help and others saying no don't but it on your plants.  Do your research.  I did read that because of the caffeine it can kill your pets.  It said that typically pets and insects (mosquitoes) do not like the pungent smell and know it is dangerous and hit the road.  It was also saying you could put it in standing water, ponds or by your pool and they will not lay their larva there.  Again do your own research.
-  How to Heal Mosquito Bites Fast
- ice it
- local honey has antibacterial properties that work to clean the bitten skin and provide a protective barrier against bacteria. Since honey is also an anti-inflammatory, it may help to reduce inflammation and swelling around the bite.

-  The Panda Express Orange Chicken Sandwich Is Nearly a Knockout
-  Krispy Kreme's Fourth Of July Lineup Is Bringing The Fireworks (And Sweetness)
-  This Is the Only Summer Doritos Flavor Worth Buying
-  Mr. Yancey the governor sent me this Pickle Margarita!
With the hot weather this is delicious!
Pickle Margartita  -   all of this is fluid ounces peeps!
- 1/2 cup of ice
- 2 fluid ounces of Blanco Tequila
- 1 1/2 ounces of Triple Sec
- 1 ounce freshly squeezed lime juice
- 1/2 ounce dill pickle juice
- Dill pickle slices for garnish
** I am thinking this is for one drink. In the picture it is a very big margarita glass, you know the biggest one you can get a Mexican restaurant?? They are heavy and thick - you could knock someone out with one. I would definitely try one.
Wouldn't it be cool to get together once every so often (like WKOP does, lawn get together, sorry brain fart.) and try out all this stuff we talk about?  Hang out, enjoy each other's company and eat and drink stuff.   Sounds like smiles and happiness to me.
- Starbucks' Churro Frappuccino Is The Secret Treat You Need This Summer.
It sounds extremely sweet.  In fact you are warned in said article about its sweetness.   I always ask how many pumps of sryup do you put in there, if its 9 I get 3.  I can't do sweet, sweet. 
While this exact drink may not be listed on every Starbucks menu, ordering a Vanilla Bean Crème Frappuccino with a boost of cinnamon dolce syrup, white chocolate mocha sauce, and whipped cream is the instruction needed so that you can enjoy the taste of a freshly made churro that can be sipped through a straw.
Barf.

Friday y’all - Start your day with a little sugar‼️😁❤️💕#143

Today is Friday, June 23 rd.
I am going to start of the day with the word of the day & quote of the day. A LITTLE ENCOURAGEMENT IN A WORLD OF HATE, Let's go!
Today's word of the day is " trust·wor·thy "
//: able to be relied on as honest or truthful:
**Quote of the day:
"Not an untrustworthy scoundrel but a fundamentally wicked person."
"People who say "Trust Me" or "believe me" often are usually untrustworthy."
We know being trustworthy as reliable, dependable, honest, honorable, upright, and incorruptible.
A trustworthy person is a special person to have around.
It goes without saying, they are someone you can trust 100%.  Someone who you know will be there for you without question.
It’s when we think we’ve found a trustworthy person who doesn’t actually deserve the title that we get hurt and feel let down.
For that reason I am going to go over some Signs Of An Untrustworthy Person
- They are two-faced. We've all come across our fair share of this type of behavior. Nice when they are with you, talk about you behind your back.
-  They turn their back on you in public.
When they’ve got what they want, or it’s clear to them that they’re not going to succeed in getting it, they’ll drop you in a heartbeat.
- They struggle to empathize.
Untrustworthy people are lacking this key emotion.
-  They abuse their ‘power’ over you.
Keep an eye on the way they interact with others. Do your best to follow your instincts and get away before you are hurt by their abuse of your trust.
-  They are excessively charming.
Under that super-nice exterior often lurks a traitorous streak, which will show itself sooner or later.
Sooner or later, you’ll find out their true agenda, but by then you may discover it’s not easy to ex-tri-cate yourself from their clutches.
-  They show narcissistic traits.
A narcissist can only see life from their own perspective.
Nothing is more important than themselves and everyone else’s role is to be subservient to them.
They are masters of playing the blame game and making sure that others take the rap for mistakes they have made but will never own up to.
From their egocentric perspective, the fault will always lie at someone else’s door.
It’s not hard to see why someone who displays the signs of being a narcissist is not worthy of your trust.
Of course, many of us display at least a few of these types of behavior from time to time.
We’re only human, after all.
But if you see two or more signs consistently in a person, they are unlikely to be worthy of your trust.
Ultimately, the best advice is to trust your instincts because they’re usually right and their purpose is to protect you from danger. Listen to your gut!!
Ahron joined me and spoke about:
WWE Friday Night Smackdown, WWE NXT - Seth Rollins & Bron Breeker, Monday Night RAW.
MLB Baseball - Tampa Bay Rays/ Padres
USFL Football
College Baseball - Men's College World Series

It Hump Day Y’all - start your day with a little sugar‼️😁💕❤️#142

Today is Wednesday, June 21st, the first day of summer!
I am going to start of the day with the word of the day & quote of the day. A LITTLE ENCOURAGEMENT IN A WORLD OF HATE, Let's go!
 
Today's word of the day is   " smile  "
//:  a pleased, kind, or amused facial expression, typically with the corners of the mouth turned up and the front teeth exposed:
**Quote of the day:
"Nothing you wear is more important than your smile." - Connie Stevens
"Because of your smile you make life more beautiful." - Thich Nhat Hanh
Start with this:
It is a -
S  - Simple
M - Mind touching
I  - Interactive
L - Long lasting
E - Effect which wins the hearts…Yes, It's your "Sweet Smile"
So keep smiling always
 
Many may see smiling simply as an involuntary response to things that bring you joy.
But your smile can have a variety of positive benefits for your health, your mood, and even the moods of people around you. Here are just some of the benefits of smiling.
Smiling Helps You Live Longer
Perhaps the most compelling reason to smile is that it can lengthen you overall lifespan.  One study found that genuine, intense smiling is associated with longer life.
Smiling Relieves Stress
Believe it or not, smiling can reduce stress even if you don't feel like smiling or even if you fake it with a smile that isn't genuine.
When you are stressed, try intentionally putting a smile on your face. It may help improve your mood and ability to manage the stress you are experiencing.
Smiling Elevates Mood
The physical act of smiling activates pathways in your brain that influence your emotional state—meaning that by adopting a happy facial expression, you can "trick" your mind into entering a state of happiness.
This affect works whether or not your smile is genuine.
Smiling Is Contagious
Research suggests that smiles are actually contagious.  Your brain automatically notices and interprets other people's facial expressions—and sometimes, you may even mimic them. That means you might spot someone else's smile and unconsciously smile yourself.
Smiling Boosts the Immune System
Smiling can also boost your overall health by helping your immune system to function more effectively. It is thought that when you smile, immune function improves because you are more relaxed (thanks to the release of certain neurotransmitters).
Smiling May Lower Blood Pressure
Smiling could have a beneficial impact on your blood pressure. Laughter specifically seems to lower blood pressure, after causing an initial increase in heart rate and breathing.
Smiling Reduces Pain
Studies have shown that smiling releases endorphins, other natural painkillers, and serotonin.10 Together, these brain chemicals make us feel good from head to toe. Not only do they elevate your mood, but they also relax your body and reduce physical pain. Smiling is a natural drug.
Smiling Makes You Attractive
We are naturally drawn to people who smile. While more severe or negative facial expressions like frowns, scowls, and grimaces work in the opposite manner, effectively pushing people away, smiling is seen as more attractive—and people may even assume you have more positive personality traits if you're smiling.
Smiling Helps You Stay Positive
Smiling can influence your feelings of positivity, even if it feels unnatural or forced. Regardless of whether or not your smile is genuine, it still sends the message that "Life is good!" to your brain and, ultimately, the rest of your body.
To finish my smile segment here is a little poem,
Smiling is infectious,
You catch it like the flu.
When someone smiled
At me today, I started smiling too.
I passed around the corner,
And someone saw my grin.
When he smiled I realized, I'd passed it on to him!
I thought about that smile, then I realized it's worth.
A single smile just like mine, could travel round the Earth!
So turn that frown upside down and share that smile of yours!

It’s Monday Y’all - Start your day with a little sugar‼️😁💕❤️#141

Today is Monday, June 19th.
**I am going to start of the day with the word of the day & quote of the day. A LITTLE ENCOURAGEMENT IN A WORLD OF HATE, Let's go!
Today's word of the day is  " values "//:  a person's principles or standards of behavior; one's judgment of what is important in life:
 
**Quote of the day:
“The difference between values, intentions and goals is who you want to be in this world versus what you want to do in this world.”
– Christie Inge
 
“My beliefs run through everything I do. My beliefs, my values are my anchor and when people try to drag me, as I know they will, it is to that sense of right or wrong, that sense of who I am and what I believe, to which I will always hold.”
– Ed Miliband
It’s not hard to make decisions when you know what your values are.”
– Roy E. Disney
Values can mean different things depending on the context.  They can mean the beliefs or ideals that guide one's behavior or decisions.  They can also mean the worth , merit or importance of something. But today I am talking about the basic and fundamental beliefs that guide or motivate attitudes or actions. 
 
But where have all our values gone too?
What has happened to our American values?  Ya know values?  Those moral thoughts & behaviors we used to hold so close to our hearts, like respect, civility, honest, decency, optimism, caring, empathy and tolerance?
American children were once taught their significance, and knowledge and education were cornerstones of our achievement. Not anymore.
The values above represent the best of humanity. But not now.
Nowadays the values that are represented are anger, rudeness, hate, greed, lying, selfishness, intolerance and callousness.
We witness the incivility on a daily basis, often expressed as anger and rage. It is commonplace on tv, social media and everyday life.  AND the very sad part is that these new "moral standards" serve as the new models for our impressionable kids.
We as the adults and role models need to demonstrate respect, tolerance & caring. 
When we express the values most true to us individually, we will create a positive difference, and improve the quality of life for all of us.  WE ALL HAVE A CHOICE.
Here is a list of some values:
Bold (Brave, or without fear)
Beautiful (Having an attractive quality that gives pleasure of who experiences it)
Brave (Showing no fear of dangerous of difficult things)
Caring (Someone who is kind and gives emotional support to others)
Courteous (Polite and showing respect)
Dedicated (Believing  that an activity or idea is important and giving a lot of energy and time to it)
Determined (resolute, staunch, decided, settled, resolved)
Encouraging (giving courage or confidence or hope)
Empathetic (Understanding and entering into anothesrs feelings)
Family (primarily social group, parents and children)
Fabulous (Extremely pleasing)

It’s Friday Y’all - Start your day with a little sugar‼️😁❤️💕#140

Today is Friday, June 16th.
I am going to start of the day with the word of the day & quote of the day. A LITTLE ENCOURAGEMENT IN A WORLD OF HATE, Let's go!
Today's word of the day is  "self·ish " I am talking about people who are self-centered, not being selfish in the way that you "take care of yourself."
 
//:   lacking consideration for others; concerned chiefly with one's own personal profit or pleasure:
Being concerned only with youself for your advantage while desregarding others around you is selfishness.
 
**Quote of the day:
"Instensely selfish people are always very decided as to what they wish.  They do not waste their energies in considering the good of others." Quida Wanda
"Selfish people don't consider how their decisions affect others.  Their own convenience is all that matters."
"Selfishness and greed, individual or national, cause most of our troubles." - Harry S. Truman
A selfish person is described as someone who is devoted to caring "only" for oneself.  They are concerned primarily with one's own interests, benefits, welfare, ect. regardless of others. Loving someone else is just the opposite, which they can not do.
Here are some signs of selfish people:
A selfish person is unaware of the imbalance in a relationship.  They take, take, take giving nothing back.  AND they are shocked when this is pointed out to them.
They are extremely manipulative and will never consider a com-pro-mise.
They use their manipulative skills to get others on their side. They will use tactics such as being perfectly charming while trying to find out information about others & then accuse others or discredit them. They are master manipulators and hide their dark side very well.
Watch out for these signs:
Manipulative people simply don't question themselves.  They don't ask themselves if the problem is them.  They always say the problem is someone else.
- Selfish people plot & scheme against you
They are really not interested in you except as a vehicle to allow them to gain control so that you become an unwilling participant in their plans.  So when shit hits the fan, because in my experience it will, don't be surprised and do what you can to get back control of your life.
They are not satisfied with being #1, which is all they want.  They also want to put you down.
- Selfish people are uncaring towards others-
Remember they are master manipulators and hide their real character very well, pretending to care about others but it is only for what they are receiving from others. 
- Selfish people find sharing and giving difficult
Maybe you know of a selfish person but you have some doubts because that someone shows a caring side.  ITS ALL FAKE! Caring, sharing & giving are not an easy thing for them to do and those actions will show through.  They always want something in return.
People who are selfish cannot and will not accept constructive criticism. Their huge egos just can’t process that constructive criticism is for their own good.
It is very difficult for them to realize that they are wrong.
Being selfish is not only characterized with self-centeredness but also with false sense of entitlement.
They expect to be continuously rewarded even without doing anything. This is where they might take all from you and use you, your ideas to move ahead.
Because of their way of thinking, they expect other people to do things for them. When you see that this is happening, do not let them have what they want.
It’s all about control, so do not give it to them.
I "try" to be thankful for all those difficult assholes/people in my life, they have shown me exactly who I do not want to be.
1st are thoughts and prayers go out to Sargent Justin  Dodge was trying to protect parade-goers who had gone around barriers when he moved close to the fire truck and it rolled over his leg, trapping him. His left leg was run over and he had to be extracted from under the vehicle.
Plus individuals, total of 12, on day of win & parade were shot.
There has always been idoits / stupid people, But now they have no regard for human life. And what their selfish actions might do to another.  It is very sad that in and during a happy time it has to ruined for innocent.
Do you know the Denver Nuggets motto?  - Keep'em coming
Keep'em coming is what they did.  There was an estimated 750,000 people that hit the streets of Denver to celebrate the Nuggets winning the NBA championship.  After a 47 year wait, nuggets threw down to celebrate their Denver Nuggets.
Jokic misplaced his MVP trophy but it has been found.
Christian Braun brought a WWE belt to the Nuggets championship parade.

Early Father’s Day Show - Start your day with a little sugar!😁💕❤️#139

Today is Wednesday, June 14th
Have a lot to go over today as we start to celebrate the Dad's in our lives.  I want to go over some of what I will be cooking up this holiday weekend, yes weekend.  He kind of deserves more than just one day.
I am going to start of the day with the word of the day & quote of the day. A LITTLE ENCOURAGEMENT IN A WORLD OF HATE, Let's go!
Today's word of the day is   " father "
//: a man in relation to his child or children:
**Quote of the day:
"Every Father should remember one day his son will follow his example, not his advice." -  Charles Kettering
"A father is neither an anchor to hold us back nor a sail to take us there, but a guiding light whose love shows us the way."
"A truly rich man is one whose children run into his arms when his hands are empty." unknown
 
Your child will learn what it means to be a father by watching the kind of father you are each day. If you often talk down to their other parent or talk badly about your family, your child will think that behavior is acceptable and expected.  If you treat your partner with respect and kindness, your child will likely treat their future partner the same way, thanks to your character modeling.
A father figure can come from almost anywhere.  A genuinely great father is willing to dedicate themselves to helping raise a child.  Adoptive fathers, relatives, even older siblings can be role models, it means treating your children with protective care, being involved, behaving responsibly, being emotionally engaged, physically available, providing financial support when needed, and having influence in child raising decisions. It also means being loving, honest, loyal, open-minded, moral, and patient. (THAT’S ALL! It is a big responsibility.)
While the role of a father is important in a child's development, it is not required for a child to grow, develop and lead a fulfilling life.  The most crucial element to raise a child is making them feel secure and supported as they grow.
"Children need to see their fathers or father figures operating with integrity in their daily lives."  It is important for a child to see their fathers be hard workers BUT also empathetic.   This sets a standard that will impact generations and positively influence the world around us.
I sincerely hope that this Father's Day you see in your children's faces all the hard work you have put in and done.
