Celebrating Seasons of Life // TRUCK TALK THURSDAY
I've noticed something: women have more natural markers for time and the seasons of life. They are the ones who typically bring out the different dishes or clothes, or get together to celebrate a new life entering the world.
Men...not so much. But we need to. We need markers on our timeline of life. In this episode I talk about how, as men, we need to take the time to celebrate the seasons of life instead of just letting them all rush by.

Accepting the Decisions You Didn't Make // TRUCK TALK THURSDAY
