This weeks journey is based on the magnificent work of Steve Biddulph in his book Manhood, An Action Plan For Changing Mens Lives . Over this week we will be exploring an plan for self actualisation, that is being the fullest and most complete man that you can be. Here is the roadmap for the journey and the weeks curriculum:
1. Establish a proper, meaningful, loving relationship with your father.
2. Cast aside the dysfuntional myths and understand and accept your sexuality.
3. Establish a relationship with your partner that is honest and where your needs are respected and fulfilled.
4. Stop being a bread-winner and start being a father to your children
5. Establish some real male friends
6. Find meaning in your job or dump it and find one that has some
7. Go wild, in the wilderness the male spirit soars.

BUT I am half-way through Steve's book "Raising Sons", and look forward with interest to reading your posts this week. I've enjoyed the book so far and it's really challenged me as the single mom of a son! I'm sure I'll pick up a few more hints here... :)
