Demonstrate how to treat your partner men. Your kids are watching. I’m on a business trip and my wife is sick. She sent me this note about our 19 y.o. this morning

Listening to a presentation from another company and they shared a list of some partners they work with. One stood out…if you’ve read Strong Like Wildflowers it’ll make sense Love it

What is behind you cannot be changed Make the next right step. Just one

I tell my kids be bad at things & I say Thompsons try Don't be worried about being the best, an expert, or looking good. Achievers, winners, & adventurers try things they are bad at in order to get good You go nowhere without a first step, even if it stubs your toe

When you wake up and see someone added a new rating on your book on Amazon it’s like Christmas! It’s a big gift to an indie author to have ratings and reviews So, in case my 32nd rater is out there on X… THANK YOU!!!

To all for whom Father’s Day is a tough day… may you find encouragement & comfort today My story is one of breaking cycles to shift the trajectory of my children’s lives so I understand the mixed feelings of the day Heal your past and put your eyes on your future. You got this

The kid is bigger than me now. It’ll go fast. He asked me for time this week to get advice from me and I love that. Invest along the way. It’s worth it, I promise.

That weight is not for you. Shake it off, drop it, release it If it’s sins, melt it with forgiveness Regrets, replace them with acceptance Fear, disappear it with hope You are not your past- you are the future and you are not made to be bent and broken Let it go: fly

When I was a kid, I didn’t know my grandfathers. One lived a continent away & one left the family My step-gpa, Leo made me feel like his own & has an impact on my life to this day He always had a jar of peanut m&m’s around. Here’s to Leo & all who make kids feel loved
