Prior to February 2016, I was unaware of author Brad Meltzer. Yet after listening to the man deliver the Dad 2.0 Summit keynote, I became a diehard fan. He spoke in great detail about the importance of legacy and gratitude in one’s life. In addition, he provided an overview of his prolific work which included writing several novels, comic books, and most recently, children’s literature. I was particularly intrigued by his biography series for kids. The stories are based on the lives of real life historical icons during their childhood.
Gratitude
A Day of Gratitude

As a Dad, my children have awakened the idea of connectivity within me. As a husband, my wife reminds me that even in times of heightened stress, we need not be alone in our struggles. That we walk the path together. For families, Thanksgiving serves as familiar reminder to turn off the daily distractions and focus on strengthening the foundation. In the spirit of the holiday, I’ve put together a list in no particular order of what I’m thankful for this past year.
