No matter who you are, man or woman, gay or straight, trans or non-binary, white, black, red, yellow, or brown, we all came Into this world through the portal that is our mother. I imagine we all have incredible tales of deep compassion, love, care, and nurture that we have experienced from our moms. I also imagine that we all have stories, experiences, impacts, and effects from the hurt and wounding of our mothers that have led to the hurt and wounding of ourselves too. I invite you all to share whatever you feel called to about your mother. I also invite you to share both the light and the shadow, as it's essential to acknowledge both, recognizing that there is no shame for them or us in the process. It's simply an acknowledgement of our experience and the truth of our perspectives. All is welcome Lots of love to all of you and the beautiful women that created you and brought you into this world. I'll start.

Feeling overwhelm, doing some work to simplify, & had the desire to check in with yall. And the personality assessment I was talking about was Human Design

Greetings Gentlemen! How was your week? More importantly how is your Heart? I stumbled upon something interesting the other day where instead of asking someone “how they’re doing?” I asked….”what’s it like to be you?” So I’m gonna try that out here today! Drop in the comments “What it’s like to be you right now?” Feel free to add any color or context along with any reflection on last week and an intention for this week. All Love to Every Man in the Expanse! Let’s Explore!

Talk to me about "overwhelm", wise ones. I lost a key employee. My plate was already full. And now I have to manage his responsabilities. It's end of the school year and it seems like every other day there are projects due. presentations, performances, etc. I enjoy being there for my kids. My wife is still only at about 60-80% capacity physically since last year's cancer treatments. I know I feel overwhelmed. When I get overwhelmed I get more irritable. I lose creativity and just put my head down and work. Sometimes I create more movement than momentum. My wife had a 60% day yesterday and when she gets overwhelmed she shuts down. She gets frustrated that she can't accomplish as much as she used to and that frustration compounds her overwhelm. Then last night my daughter laid down next to me crying because she feels overwhelmed: boy trouble, school pressure... Why? What causes us to stack up so much stuff that we are operating on a near-collapse state every day? What happened to the days where you could sit on the porch and just enjoy the view. Would love the Strategies you guys use to deal with these moments (not really a 'moment' for me because it's been going on for weeks). It's almost as if we've conditioned ourselves that safety is in the chaos. That to have a moment where there is no pressure must mean that things are not right, because pressure has been a constant.

Alright fellas here’s my reflection of how I used the Operating System to move through the freeze I found myself in prior to Wednesday. I mentioned it in a previous post, @Jared Fenn asked for a ‘pinch & zoom’ so here ya go. I apologies it took longer than I originally stated.
