I have been a fan of the Good Men Project Magazine since it debuted last June. Tom Matlack is the founder of the magazine and the author of The Good Men Project: Real Stories from the Front Lines of Modern Manhood. I love the premise that a magazine (print or online) for men doesn't have to be all about sex, exercise and women. It can also be about fatherhood, responsibility and relationships.
This month's edition features an article from Tom Matlack on the simple beauty for a guy's guy of cuddling with his kids. In Tom's words,
I've gone on silent retreats, done yoga, gotten sober, driven racecars, and pursued the Creator in any number of forms, but nothing has ever come close to the power of cuddling with my kids.
Check out Tom's retrospective on being close to his kids, and see if it doesn't motivate a bit more cuddling with yours.
