Happy Father’s Day

“A dad isn’t defined as the man who makes the child, but rather the man who raises and loves the child with all his heart and soul through anything. BLOOD doesn’t always make a man a dad, being a DAD comes from the HEART.”

Enjoy every little moment of your child and being a father, good or challenging. Be in the moment, be awake and be present in fatherhood. It seems it will last forever, but really goes by in a flash.

Not only has pilates helped me physically to keep up with the many demands of activities, but I also apply the BASI principles to my father hood. Awareness: Be aware of every amazing moment of your child’s life. Balance: Keep a balance of fun and guidance. Breath: Breathe and respond, not react through the difficult moments. Concentration: Stay in the moment of being a father. It’s the best gift a man could ever receive. Center: There is a center of gravity that lies between the mother and the child. Work with it intelligently. Control: Stay in control of your temper through a difficult moment. Efficiency: Be Efficient when preparing for your child’s future. Flow: Let deep love flow through you as a river of happiness and grace. Precision: Be clear and precise when encouraging words of wisdom. Harmony: The love between father and child should be loving, patient and harmonious.

I dedicate this and every Father’s Day to my beautiful daughter April❤️

Happy Fathers Day to all the REAL men out there who know the true meaning of unconditional love and all the single moms putting in work for the dads that aren’t around.
