Happy Friday everyone! It’s another weekend and this one does double-duty. It’s not just the official beginning of Summer with the Summer Solstice occurring on June 20 -21 — but, Sunday is Father’s Day as well!
So in honor of all the men who are fathers to children — and all the men who are fatherly to those they hold dear, I wish you all a Healthy and Happy Father’s Day — abundant with the qualities of understanding, gentleness, supportiveness, nurturing, protection and love!
