Iā€™m trying to be a good guy in a stressed out world.

I think (a lot) about marriage, fatherhood, character, and leadership. I write for people who strive to be good and want to contribute at home, work, and in their communities.

Coming to you with love from Detroit, Michigan.

Closeness.

I was just journaling, and wrote a particularly memorable passage. Let me share it with you.

-The context is, something I recently discovered...being open to letting other people get closer to you.

"That's the lure about friendship, you create something mystical-by forming the bond of friendship. It's powerful. It's an age old tradition of humanity. So once you make that magical bond, burturing it is what you want. We want to see things grow. We want to see life. So...closeness matters, and when [nurtured] at a special time, [closeness] is the best thing in the world."
