what is the "the new normal"?

What is the new normal? The new normal is men redefining the definition of "career" and "happiness" and finding a balance between family life, work and creative pursuits (writing a blog, playing in a band). We should be embracing "the new normal" now more than ever.  And our kids can inspire us. And keep us young and relevant.  But we take it all for granted.  But we shouldn't.  Because this is the new normal. Whether we like it or not, the world has changed.  But we need to own this new identity. We get to redefine what it means to be a dad. And what it means to be a man. We get to experience a new kind of daddyhood. And we have new daddy skills to show for it. And not only will our children benefit from having us around, but so will the community at-large.  We're like a new breed here in Brooklyn, Portland, Los Angeles, Chicago, Austin, Seattle and Berkeley.  We are "the new normal". We have less to prove and more to gain.
