Sensitivity has often been a point of confusion for me. Men are often laughed at by their peers for being sensitive (especially as young boys and teens), and simultaneously are being asked to be more sensitive in relationship.
I struggled with this growing up as a young man who was very sensitive to other peoples needs.
Being sensitive doesn’t mean being fragile. It means having awareness of feelings within yourself and others.
For me, having awareness of others comes easy. Having awareness of myself is oddly difficult. You’d think it would be simple to understand what subtle nuances are happening within your own being but for some it takes time and practice.
My goal is to pay as close attention to myself as I do to others. To become sensitive to my own body and mind connection. Be more in tune with my nervous system and what is true in my body.

A few guidelines I’ve been trying to live by:
•If it frightens you, do it.
•Don’t settle or else you’ll get what you settled for.
•you are the only person on this planet responsible for your needs, wants, and happiness.
•that said, let people help you.
•think ABUNDANCE.

Feeling the abundance bit so hard lately

Last night we traversed up a small mountain to enjoy the strawberry moon rise.
As we sat in awe of the massive moon rising behind a rigid mountain we silently meditated on intentions.
My main intention:
Allow myself to be human every day.
I like to feel like I have control over things. I spend mental energy trying to make sure I’m doing everything right by everyone. Or sometimes I catch myself wanting everything to go in a positive direction all of the time.
The opposite of that control is allowance.
I want to allow myself to be okay when someone has feelings or reactions I wish they didn’t have, and (perhaps most importantly) not feel the need to fix them.
Allow myself to have painful feelings and not burry them.
Allow self care rather than focus on helping everyone else.

With the help of the people closest to me I’ve been able to practice this much more often lately than ever before and for that I am so grateful. It still isn’t easy, but every time opportunity comes along I hope I have to courage to try.

Over the last month or so we’ve been feeling a little overwhelmed by so many paths and options to choose and sift through.

At the end of the day any of the potential directions would involve change, discomfort and hard moments of transition.

Even still, I feel so grateful to be in a place where at the end of the day all of my options are good options. There was no path where I wouldn’t end up in an incredible space with amazing people.

For some reason it feels really vulnerable for me to post a photo of myself standing on my own two feet (without holding something or someone in the air 😅).
So before I overthink this post… again… here’s a photo of regular ole me 😁

Thanks for taking these, and thanks and for treating us to this beautiful place.

The Colonial District, or Ciudad Colonial is the historic central neighborhood of the Dominican Republic's capital Santo Domingo. It is the oldest continuously inhabited European-established settlement in the Americas.

It’s amazing to see so many different sides to this incredible island. thank you for bringing me to this gorgeous place.

Thanks for the tour and always being willing to take urban acro photos with us

Spending International Women’s Day in the Dominican Republic this year with and I have so much gratitude for the woman she is today. Laura, you embody the greatest qualities of a woman. You are bold and you speak your truth. You set boundaries when you need to, and give support to anyone in need when you have the space to do so. You are vulnerable and strong in the same breath. You look inward often, adapt to change, and build up the people in your life.
In summary, you are fully “badass”. Te amó mucho Laura, thanks for being you always.

So much to see out here in Vegas. For a long time I thought of this place as nothing more than a party destination because TV shows only depicted it that way.
There is so much more to this place than the strip, and I’m loving exploring with al of the amazing people I’ve come to know here.

Thoughts on difficulty & a reminder to myself:
In the middle of every difficulty lies opportunity.
Things that are difficult to work through are often the things that provide us the biggest gifts. Yes, we like when things are easy and care free, but we should not run away from difficulty. Embrace tough conversations - they will only make your connections stronger. Embrace things you feel you aren’t good enough to do (for me lately that’s dancing), you’ll feel good just for trying your best.

Words from meditation this morning:

I speak only what I want to grow in my life
I speak abundance
I speak love

I am so fortunate to have been surrounded by incredible women all through my life. Growing up I admired my mother for taking care of three children at once (now that I’m an adult this is even more astounding to me... moms are freaking superheroes).
What I appreciate most about my friends who identify as women is just how empowered and inspiring they all have been to me. I’ve learned so much about living with empathy and vulnerability through the example they all have shown. These are things that are harder to come across as a young boy growing up in the southeast. Connecting to those parts of the self isn’t easy, but boy is it worth the work.
Thank you thank you thank you to all of the women who have helped to shape me into the human I am today.

Wow I feel SO full leaving my home town right now. So many close friends and family took time out to visit. I appreciate you all! PLUS- what an honor to have here with me and meet the people I love. Thank you so so much for being here with me 💙
I’ll try to tag everyone here but you all know who you are 🙏🏼

It may not look like much but I’m actually trying REALLY hard here to relax into this stretch.
I’ve never been one to really give my body what it needs when it comes to stretching. I spend hours at a time strengthening without lengthening properly afterwards.
Fortunately for me there’s a bit of accountability in having a stretching partner around who encourages me to get bendy. supporting me through the rough patches in more ways than just stretching these days 🙏🏼
