Since I started this blog I have received different feedback from people. Some have questions or want to debate topics I've written about. Others share their own personal stories that are similar to my experiences. I've also heard from some friends that I've inspired them to start writing and blogging. I think it is most flattering when someone is motivated to be creative by something I am doing.
This entry is a shout out to a dear friend of mine who has been on an incredible journey of self-discovery. For several months he has focused on reinventing himself, working out and losing a significant amount of weight, updating his personal style, working hard on rebuilding lost friendships and strengthening his family bonds. His motivation is inspiring to me on days when I feel like I just don't have it in me to do anything productive. I've watched him grow over the past few months so much and he has become a very healthy and happy man and a really good friend.
Being able to look within and accept the areas where we are lacking is not an easy task to accomplish. Its so much easier said than done, and its incredibly difficult to look past the things we know are not good for us and change our behavior. It is easy to ignore and continue the behaviors because they are comfortable. I applaud my friend for his diligence and determination to be the best father, husband and friend he can be. I admire his willingness to do the work and put in the time and his honesty about his flaws.
I encourage you all to check out his blog: http://theredheadrambler.blogspot.com Show some support - he is new to the blogging world. But his voice and his experiences are real, and he is making incredible strides.
Keep it up Andy! I am inspired!
