I coach high school cheerleading, and this is my 2 year old son preparing to do his "toe touch" at a recent cheer practice. (His dad coaches football, hence the shirt.)

My brother is taking a trip around the world. He will be gone for nine months, and he will be alone. This picture was taken April 8, 2010 at the airport. You can follow him on Facebook - Around the World in GR80 Days. It takes a lot of courage and confidence in oneself to do what he's doing.

This is a photo of my little girl, Ella as she goes through the motions of learning how to ride a bike . Faced with her fears, she rests in the thought that Dad is there to help her. And with that thought she gets her strength and her confidence. Here's to her dad and all the dads who take the time to be one!

Quotes
Always hold your head up, but be careful to keep your nose at a friendly level.
Max L. Forman   -
Always dream and shoot higher than you know you can do. Don't bother just to be better than your contemporaries or predecessors. Try to be better than yourself.
William Faulkner Novelist, Nobel Prize Winner  (1897-1962);
Action is a great restorer and builder of confidence. Inaction is not only the result, but the cause, of fear. Perhaps the action you take will be successful; perhaps different action or adjustments will have to follow. But any action is better than no action at all.
Norman Vincent Peale Preacher, Author  (1898-1993);
The question Who am I? is not a philosophical football meant to be kicked around coffeehouses by pseudo-intellectuals. It's a real-life question. Nothing is more important and more relevant than to know who you are.
Chris Butler (Siddhaswarupananda Paramahamsa), Yoga Master  -
Trust yourself. You know more than you think you do.
Dr. Benjamin McLane Spock Pediatrician, Educator, Writer  (1903-1998);

In my life I am searching for so much right now. Confidence and understanding what I am here to do with my life is a big ? mark right now. For me, I am trying to understand the purpose...right now it is my kids, professionally I am lost, I am even more lost in my convictions. I need a bolt of lighting to hit me in rain storm, get that ah ha moment and transform my life. Tonight, my year and a half year old son got second degree burns on both hands and I am beating myself up over it. My wife is at the ER while I am asking question after question. There is no greater importance than the kids you are responsible for bringing into this world. In closing, eventually peace will come, but not right now when you can't sleep.
