Yesterday started out with a curveball, my son Luca was awake and energized for the day earlier than anticipated (5:30) just filled with energy, I hadn’t slept well at all that night. Before going into his room and picking him up out of his crib I knew I was looking at a moment that would have turned a fairly normal day, and made it worse with disconnection and frustration. The morning started with a messy kitchen, a nearly 2 year old covered in peanut butter and jam and a phone filled with pictures, all by 6:30am There was even more moments that morning that would’ve historically sent me into a fit of anger, frustration, irritability… I would have been a NIGHTMARE to be around. But I was present, I knew how I was truly feeling, I was mindful and helpful, conversational, present, and in control of my emotions.

Our community works better when we know who we’re walking with. If you’re new or you’ve been here a while but quiet post a quick intro below. Who you are, where you’re at, and what brought you here. Most men don't reach out for help, this is a small but significant step in announcing you are ready for The Work.
