Making Men Sunday Edition
Making Men Newsletter #20
Good morning, and welcome to the Sunday Edition of Making Men. After a very hectic week at work, I’ve been looking forward to being able to sit down and put together this post.
Working on the posts for Making Men has become one of the more relaxing things I do every week. Writing is a release, and I’m getting to do plenty of it in this endeavor. Usually, people refer to projects like this as a “labor of love”. But truth be told, there is only one aspect of it that I would call “labor”, and that’s the promotion of the newsletter. While I certainly think that getting the message out to as many men as possible is important, I find that to be the least enjoyable part of it all.
Several of you have shared the newsletter in various ways, and for that, I say thank you. If you haven’t yet but would like to help spread the word, you can click the handy button below to share it with your friends in a variety of ways.
As for the writing itself, I look forward to stealing away the time to work on posts. Whether I’m working at my job, working around the property, or even doing things I enjoy like watching the sunrise from my porch or staring at the dying embers of a fire in the backyard on the weekend, I find myself thinking about writing Making Men. And that’s a good thing. Hobby isn’t the right word for it, but it’s the closest thing I can think of at the moment to describe how I feel about doing this. I enjoy spending every minute I can on it, and I hope you’re still enjoying it too.
I’ve put the call out before, but I think it’s worth repeating. If there is a topic or subject you’d like to see covered here, don’t hesitate to bring it up. You can leave a comment on any post, or email me directly at makingmendigest@gmail.com. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed hearing from all of you your thoughts thus far, and hope the trend continues.
But for now, let’s get on to the curated list of articles and posts on interesting topics that I want to share with you this week. One thing that sets men apart from guys is that they have interesting things to talk about in conversational settings. One sure way to always be interesting to conversate with is to be well-read on a variety of topics. With that in mind, here are this week’s interesting topics to educate yourself about.
