Today's shout out for a Man I'd like to highlight is @Steven Cruz. Steven posted an incredibly courageous video here reflecting on what sounds like an incredibly challenging (on every level) period in his life and how he moved through it. I commend you Steven for taking responsibility for yourself and your experience and finding a way through it. Steven had a great quote that I'll paraphrase - "You don't fall to the level of your intentions but to the level of your systems." Brilliantly said my friend. It's a pleasure and an honor to have you in here. Like this post after you watch Stevens video and drop a comment if you yourself have been through an intense period of challenge and transformation.

Hey fellas. I want to bring something to the attention of The Expanse and the Men IN it. Yesterday I was navigating a space of un-safety where my camping/sleeping gear was taken from my campsite. This disruption to my wholeness activated a lot of anger within me, and because I didn't sufficiently sit with it and metabolize it, it got misdirected toward my fellow Man @Steven Cruz in my interaction with him. You can see our exchange here. My misdirected anger and the borderline violence of my languaging did NOT sit well with me. Especially after receiving another Man's perspective and feedback on it. I have directly contacted Steven and apologized for how I engaged with him and he was gracious enough to resolve and repair the affect of my comments. I want to bring this attention to the group for multiple reasons- here are a few. 1. I am human just like everyone else. I'm not an AI Chatbot. 2. While I am a co-founder and co-creator of this container, I still fumble, falter and forget ALL THE TIME. I am ALWAYS LEARNING. 3. I have found over and over again that when I OWN MY SPACE, ENERGY AND EXPRESSION with myself and ESPECIALLY with others- I ALWAYS feel lighter. 4. While I did not do anything WRONG or shameful, my expression and its impact was not how I intended it. This will NOT be the last time this happens in here or ANYWHERE. 5. If you see or hear me say something that doesn't land, doesn't resonate or inspires excessive dis-ease in you- PLEASE LET ME KNOW. Thanks you for patience and grace as I learn. After all I'm incredibly grateful for how things transpired because it led to an amazing exchange with @Tah Whitty. The exchange is recorded and linked below. I HIGHLY ENCOURAGE YOU TO LISTEN. Thank you all for being here on this ride with us. It's a pleasure and an honor to co-create this container and this Life with y'all.

Thanks to @Steven Cruz for jumping on for an engaging 20-minute conversation! More of these to come!

Video is a bit on the longer side, but it's basically my thoughts on how I navigated through it once I noticed it, and my "March 2023" story. https://www.loom.com/share/4557382b7eab49948b4ec15e6c58ef7e
