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.

My 3 year old daughter with down syndrome Jacqui West cheering for her achievement of walking down to get her certificate at her Early Head Start Graduation. Jacqui didnt walk until 33 months and we are all so proud of her ambition to be like the other kids in her playgroup.Mommy filled with love and tears. One of my best days ever!

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!

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.)

CONFIDENCE

Quotes
There is overwhelming evidence that the higher the level of self-esteem, the more likely one will be to treat others with respect, kindness, and generosity.
Nathaniel Branden   -
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);
Make the most of yourself, for that is all there is of you.
Ralph Waldo Emerson Philosopher, Poet, Author, Essayist   (1803-1882);
Life is not easy for any of us. But what of that? We must have perseverance and above all confidence in ourselves. We must believe that we are gifted for something and that this thing must be attained.
Marie Curie Chemist, Physicist, Nobel Prize Winner  (1867-1934);
Peace holds within itself trust in the Lord, the trust that He governs all things and provides all things, and that He leads towards an end that is good.
Emanuel Swedenborg Philosopher, Scientist, Theologian  (1688-1772);

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.
