#MKEPride

While having pride in who and what you are - and how to gain that pride - is the main focus of Greater Milwaukee Men, the other piece of the puzzle is pride in where you are, and since we are talking about Milwaukee, we focus on everything good about the Greater Milwaukee Area: the city, county, and surrounding area.

This shot shows some of the best parts of MKE -
our downtown, the arts, and the lake
You will see many posts here about the great things in Milwaukee, because Milwaukee needs it. Milwaukee is not only underestimated by everyone else, but even Milwaukeeans themselves. In recent years, however, the word has been getting out about the well-kept secret that is Milwaukee. We are getting awards and showing up on many lists of the top communities for various cultural assets.

Make Men's Health Month About You

The month of November is (one of the) Men's Health Month(s), popularized by the Movember movement. (June is another recognized annual event but since it is November now, November it is.) It's a great foundation, it has been successful and is highly rated for its impact. But, one thing I see with the movement is that while they speak about men's health to the participants, I feel the participants themselves promote it outwardly rather than inward, at them. I personally fell victim to that selfsame issue, but no longer. As of this November, I am taking care of myself.
