Hello and a warm welcome!
Welcome. My name is Doug Keating. Many years ago my marriage ended which impacted my life in several ways – mostly positive and some negative. As a result of the divorce, I did not get to see my sons often during their teenage years. It was a difficult situation that needed a solution.
I decided to write a letter to my sons
This constant separation caused me great concern as I wondered how can I be a good father to my sons without having much access to them, and the world they live in…so I decided to do something about it. I started writing “a letter” to them about life lessons that I have learned through the years.
What I think is no longer a mystery
Basically, they got a new lesson every time they were with me. These lessons were not long, and not really that profound. Rather they offered me a creative and meaningful way to pass along what little knowledge and wisdom I have for my sons. Why write a blog? I wanted them to know what I think about life.
This blog started as a simple idea
I started writing the content for this blog by creating slides and collecting them in a simple notebook. As the weeks went by, the number of lessons increased. Over time it evolved into this blog. Below is my welcome video. I hope you enjoy it.
I am Doug Keating and this is my letter to sons.
