This week I am in Charlotte, NC again. Same city, different hotel. Charlotte has a very nice and very clean downtown area and the Panther's Stadium is right here in the middle of it. I went out with my cousin on Saturday night to a bunch of bars here with tons of people in Halloween outfits. It was a fun scene and great to spend time with my extended family. I am, however, looking forward to coming home after 10 days away. ~ Stauder |

• Developing a more effective and powerful model of fathering
• Communicating and listening more effectively
• Knowing how to focus on the Big Picture and still take care of the small stuff
• Balancing fathering with your many other roles
• Understanding the limitations of methods that haven’t worked
• Exploring alternative approaches to fathering that have worked for other dads
• Teaming up powerfully with other adults to benefit your children
• Identifying and empowering your children’s dreams, special talents, and passions
• Becoming more confident and competent at realizing your goals as a father
• Joining a team of fathers in your community who learn from and help each other
• Making the world a happier, healthier place for your children, and all children.

making decisions for your woman
by stauder
A couple weeks ago my woman said something in front of some people we were playing volleyball that kind of irked me. It was no big deal so I shrugged it off without saying anything to her about it. A few days later I was reading a chapter from The Way of the Superior Man by David Deida (of which most of you are intimately familiar). This particular chapter was about making decisions. In summary, the chapter relayed that making decisions is a masculine trait that men can give as a gift to our women. Women would often prefer to stay in the gray area and have their lives be lead by their feelings in the moment...
