Your Mental Health is Important
May is a time to raise awareness of those living with mental or behavioral health issues and to help reduce the stigma so many experience.
Mental Health Month raises awareness of trauma and the impact it can have on the physical, emotional, and mental well-being of children, families, and communities.

Keep Going It Will Be Worth It
Never underestimate how your actions and your presence may inspire someone
You don't know who is watching you and looking to you as a role model and leader.
Pop, I Still Hear You
I still hear my father's voice and he's past away two years ago today.
What do I want the Legacy for my children to be?
I only can pray they hear me and ingest and digest my words of wisdom. And, that they WILL carry those words with them for the rest of their lives.

Accountability
Accountability is the obligation to explain, justify, and take responsibility for one’s actions.
Accountability is the state of being accountable, meaning responsible for something or obligated to answer to someone, such as a person with more authority, like a boss.
The word accountability is often used in the context of individuals, especially in the term personal accountability. It is also commonly used in the context of institutions or people that are responsible to the public, such as the government, its agencies, politicians, and the media. Accountability is often discussed with transparency and consequences. This typically involves keeping people and organizations accountable by making their actions visible and having consequences when those actions are not acceptable.
My Take: You can't hold other people to the same standards you don't hold for yourself. And you cannot Purposely create chaos and disorder and then play the victim. i.e. I did that because you did XYZ thing, etc.

THE EFFECTS OF ANGRY FATHERS ON CHILDREN
A parent is bound to become angry now and again, but situations that expose a child to constant anger from a parent, especially a father, may have serious repercussions for childhood development. Let's respond, not react and have teachable moments with our children.
