In the tapestry of human experience, emotions weave a complex and intricate pattern, guiding us through the highs and lows of life's journey.

Fear, that primal instinct deeply woven into our existence, has long been regarded as a formidable adversary. It looms over us, casting shadows of doubt and uncertainty.

This is the tender territory of the heart which stretches, breathes, and allows us to know ourselves in new ways. Breath is one of our greatest allies as we journey through our emotions.

Life is an ever-unfolding journey, a canvas upon which we paint experiences, lessons, and moments of growth. Each day, subtle and profound, offers us insights that contribute to our personal evolution.

 There are many different attributes of being a man; these three characteristics are often overlooked, and some stigmas must be addressed. I, for one, have used a few of these tools listed below, and they are helping me cope with my memory disease life.

As a raregiver, you may feel the immense tenderness of being alive, and how fragile this human body is while at the same time being incredibly resilient.

Each of us holds an inherent power—an influence that extends far beyond our conscious awareness. Whether we acknowledge it or not, our actions, words, and gestures possess the potential to make a profound difference in the lives of others.

In the intricate dance of life, we often encounter individuals who, rather than lifting us up, seek to bring us down. These individuals, metaphorically referred to as sharks, may aim to diminish our self-worth or boost their own standing by casting shadows on our capabilities.

Padma Gordon

We explored the idea of self-compassion versus self-pity, and how sometimes we might try to fix situations rather than slow down to see what's needed.

In the pursuit of being our very best, the concept often veers perilously close to the realm of perfectionism. The relentless pursuit of flawlessness can inadvertently lead to stress, self-doubt, and an unattainable standard that leaves us perpetually unsatisfied.

In the realm of masculinity, the concept of surrender often carries an air of paradox. Traditionally associated with weakness or defeat, surrender, when properly understood, reveals itself as a profound act of courage and wisdom.

Padma Gordon

Oftentimes this means that we are holding onto anger and judgment, and when we hold onto them and do not allow ourselves to feel, can make us sick.

This week in our Self-Care Tuesday Group we explored the places we go when we self-assess.

Pamela Russell

Life, with its myriad complexities, throws curveballs that can leave us weary and disheartened. The allure of walking away, of surrendering to the difficulties that assail us, is a tempting escape route.

Padma Gordon

Our Self-Care Tuesday group this week focused on where we go when we want connection. As a raregiver, it's very important both to feel connected to yourself and have connections with people who understand you.

Pamela Russell

Courage is a virtue that transcends fear, it is the driving force propelling us beyond the confines of our comfort zones. It serves as a catalyst for facing challenges, navigating uncertainties, and, ultimately, fostering profound personal development

Padma Gordon

Our Tuesday Self-care group was beautiful and deep. The focus was on the places we go when we compare. Comparison can be quite devastating and draining.

The importance of male community cannot be understated in today's society, particularly in light of evolving gender roles and the unique challenges faced by men. Male community provides a space for men to connect, support one another, and navigate the complexities of masculinity in a rapidly changing world.

Padma Gordon

We had a wonderful first meeting of the year in our newly named Self-care Tuesdays group. We dove into the territory of the emotions and explored how your body and your awareness can be a spacious, loving container to hold your emotions.
