Hello to all my friends around the world and well it is a beautiful Sunday which I wil spend with my beautiful children. Just wanted to share a few facts about Fathers Day here in the good old USA;
Please go to this link and check out the (The Motivation Key Live Show Replay) It Will only be available for another day. Then go to Face book and like it and friend me.
I had this painting of one of my sons done because he has proven to be a model of a child he is eleven years old and well to make a long story short he has shown not only responsibility but also inspiration to all those around him but most of all me.
I had seen him struggle for a bit in school but with the right inspiration and the right techniques to believe in himself well he turned out to be one of the Honor Roll students in his school and to me well it was very inspirational thus the painting.

I must mention my other two sons as well a bit younger but outstanding boys and as you can tell I am very proud of them. My beautiful daughter also extremely encouraging to the boys.
Yes I am a proud daddy and yes they will always be my little ones no matter how big or old they get.

Fathers Day:
Father's Day: Controversy and Commercialism
During the 1920s and 1930s, a movement arose to scrap Mother’s Day and Father’s Day altogether in favor of a single holiday, Parents’ Day. Every year on Mother’s Day, pro-Parents’ Day groups rallied in New York City’s Central Park--a public reminder, said Parents’ Day activist and radio performer Robert Spere, “that both parents should be loved and respected together.”
Paradoxically, however, the Depression derailed this effort to combine and de-commercialize the holidays. Struggling retailers and advertisers redoubled their efforts to make Father’s Day a “second Christmas” for men, promoting goods such as neckties, hats, socks, pipes and tobacco, golf clubs and other sporting goods, and greeting cards.
When World War II began, advertisers began to argue that celebrating Father’s Day was a way to honor American troops and support the war effort. By the end of the war, Father’s Day may not have been a federal holiday, but it was a national institution.
In 1972, in the middle of a hard-fought presidential re-election campaign, Richard Nixon signed a proclamation making Father’s Day a federal holiday at last. Today, economists estimate that Americans spend more than $1 billion each year on Father’s Day gifts.
