A Better Father

I am a single father. A vegan for health, environment and animal safety reasons. I read, write, podcast and blog to be a better person and a better father (huh?huh?). Follow me in my journey as this life gets lived moment by moment, day by day. You are not alone. Even though we all feel it from time to time, that's okay. Come here and know you are not alone. I’m not saying this is how it should be. It’s a thought experiment for how it could be.
