Some the greatest men we ever meet, we met in our childhoods. But, did we know how noble they truly were? Did we know how great they would become? What if our eyes were opened to see the divine gift in every man we ever met—no matter who they are or when they cross our paths in mortality! If you would like to read about how I met Tom Holmoe, Director of Athletics of BYU, when we were just fourteen years old in an eighth grade journalism class…go to “Pages” and read on…
What if we treated every man as though he would grow up to be one of the most successful men we ever knew? Lullaby the Fathers is meant to extol the virtues of the men I have met and am meeting on a daily basis…if you have comments about men you have known and honored, please send them!
With Love,
Karyn

Hi! My name is Karyn Grant, LMT and I am a joy coach for men, women and children. I am also a singer, songwriter, aromatherapist and use music as therapy in my joy coaching sessions. As I have spent a great deal of focus on bringing solacing and nurturing to women, over the past seven years, I have realized that men rarely get the kind of nurturing and attention that they really need.
Thus, I approached Thurl Bailey, former JAZZ player, a professional athlete, but as well, a gifted musician. Wow! What a deep voice! Adding his voice to my massage sessions, which includes speakers attached to the bottom of the massage table, brings a whole new vibration to my work as a Vibrational Attunement Massage Therapist! Anyway, after I met Thurl, while he was singing to a group of women, at my home, in what I call “The Cherishing Circle”, I approached him about the needs that men have to be nurturered and comforted all the way back into their childhoods.
Every man was “once upon a time”, a little boy. Little boys are not always encouraged to share their feelings and emotions…so that’s how it all started…the next thing you know, Thurl asked me to write his new book, “The Heart and Soul of Thurl Bailey: Who Will Lullaby the Fathers?” Right now…I’m on page 87…and ladies, it’s what every woman wants! Some great big 6′11″ hero to step in “off the court” and assist your man in knowing how to “court” you!
Thurl is a gentle man from basketball and “Beyond Basketball”, where he is inspiring parents and children to use b-ball as the tool in which to develop family ties and strong characters. Beyond that? I am excited to share the journey I am on with the rest of the world in getting to know the heart and soul of a kind and loving, father and husband! His stories are sure to lullaby the fathers, husbands, wives and mothers! Stay tuned—it’s Thurl-Time!
