This week’s Blog is about a friend of mine that I’ve never
met face to face, a guy that I respect a lot for how he’s turned a tough
situation around, and to the benefit of others as well. His name is Roy Page, and I met Roy when he
was finishing writing his own book manuscript and looking for a good
publisher. So we spoke about my
publishing house, Lucid Books. In
the process I learned about his story, which is the content of his book – "A Letter to Evan," how he was a divorced man doing his best to maintain a
close and involved relationship in his son’s life. His website says this:
----
Divorce changes everything. It is disorienting, painful, and
disruptive. One dad steps forward to illustrate how to rise above the
destruction of divorce, become a better person, and yes, even a better father
to his children. Roy Page exposes his heart in A Letter to Evan. What began as an affirmation and
instruction for his son has become a journey of healing, growth, and
inspiration to men everywhere.
Being a loving,
effective parent when you are not a part of your child’s daily life is
challenging whether you are a father who travels or is divorced. Roy Page
shares how he has maintained a presence in the lives of his children. As
a man who enjoys hunting, fishing, sailing, and woodworking and possesses a
deep desire to share these times of adventure with his son, Roy learns to
navigate his extensive travel schedule along with Evan’s hectic baseball
schedule to find a way to connect. Even if it means writing a letter.

Like I initially said, I sure respect how Roy has taken a really
difficult situation and made it extremely productive. Roy has redeemed a fall, or as it’s been said,
he has fallen forward. So I was honored when Roy asked me if he could
blog about me recently. His
blog is similar to mine; it has to do with “second chances.” I am humbled to read one on myself, but I’ve
had friends say I should post his to my friends too. So here is ROY'S BLOG ON SECOND CHANCES(Click this)
