Karen’s Opinion

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Raising a Father. All opinions are 100% mine.

Reality shows are very popular these days and I admit to being caught up in a few of them myself. I don’t know why but I am interested in how Jen and Bill of the Little Couple and Michelle and Jim Bob of 19 Kids and Counting react to every day things in their lives. The thing I like about their personalities that differ from other reality shows is the respect they show each other. You can tell that they genuinely care about each other.

I was similarly impressed with the movie The Blindside, starring Sandra Bullick. That movie showed how a person can make a difference in someone’s life.

Now and then, I run across a book that has the possibility of changing lives. One such book is Raising a Father written by Arjun Sen. The following video gives a hint of what the book is about.

If we stop to think about the amount of time spent with our children, we are often surprised to see how quickly the time passes. This author of this book made a big decision to leave the corporate world to spend more time with his daughter. At the age of 37, he realized that he wanted to be more the father that she wanted him to be instead of what the corporate world expected of him. Not many come to this realization or if they do are willing to sacrifice success for the sake of a relationship. I admire that he was able to not only see the light but was able to walk the walk. Raising a Father is a wonderful account of how important relationships are.

This book sounds like a wonderful gift for someone. I am anxious to read it to find out how, as a mom, I can get closer to my kids.

The theme this week at Heads or Tails is cup.

I received the soup cups I ordered from the Etsy shop, Sunbury Village Yarns. I love using them and think they look pretty hanging on my shelf too!

Join us at Heads or Tails. You will have fun and meet some pretty cool people.
