Celebrate Father’s Day with ceremony

How do we acknowledge the men in our lives?

The pace of change is enormous. Once upon a time, our men were the sole bread winners with careers in the one field and often spanning 40 years.

Our men were engaged in volunteer work in their communities with sporting clubs, service clubs, churches and the like.

There were many occasions in those more stable times, for men to receive affirmation for their contribution to their families, work and communities.

By this we mean, some words of acknowledgement for the skills they developed and or the services they performed, no matter how mundane.

Today with the increased pace of change, our men are facing huge challenges with their work skills needing constant review, and like women, trying to find that work/life balance.

So when and where do we give them that special acknowledgement they need?

Fathers Day is one of those occasions when we as family members can step back and have a fresh look at the men in our lives.

Let’s look at what they do to contribute to our families and plan to use Father’s Day as a reason to give those public acknowledgements.

To have a “Party with a Purpose” by engaging a TCN celebrant to create a special thank you to one or more “fathers” in our lives.

This can be a relaxed and fun occasion commenced by a well organised tribute to those who have fathered, or do fathering as step-parents, uncles and mentors.

Let’s do more than "put a shrimp on the barbie" and give a bottle of after-shave - if not for this year, then for 2017.

Ask our TCN celebrants how?

Thank you dad

A big thank you to my dad Cec. He was the one who pushed me as a girl to get an education.
No longer here but always in our hearts!
