NewPlew has gone Pink!

Wednesday, February 28th, 2007

Being the boy that I am, I originally built this site using a more masculine color pallete of blues. I’ve switched things around a bit and added pink where the blue dominated, and also added a new baby girl image at the top of the site as a replacement to the baby boy.

In lieu of adorable baby pictures (since Thalia still has three moths of growing to do before her debut) - how about checking out randomkitten.com? I am amused by the simplest of things.

Strong Daughters come from nurturing fathers

Wednesday, February 7th, 2007

Many of you may be saying “DUH!” while reading the headline of this post, but it’s important to see the difference between a nurturing father and a strong father.

A nurturing father takes the road of enlightenment. He knows he doesn’t have the answers, he knows mistakes are a part of the road to success, he understands his role as father is to encourage and challenge his daughter. He provides the compass which his daughter can use to guide herself on life’s journey.

A strong father is there to protect his daughter from the outside world. He’s there to help her learn her role in society. He doles out punishment and expects no questions when orders are handed out. His role is to provide a map and directions to the road of life, detours are discouraged.

Kind of like this:

Basically, raising a daughter who can take risks, negotiate for what she wants, learn from her mistakes, and solve her own problems without being rescued by you or any other man is the order of the day. This is what makes her a strong, happy woman rather than a little girl forever.
