“ The word “masculinity” and its meaning to me have transformed over time. At this point, I think the classic social definition—juvenile bravado, a deep voice, a provider, protector, etc.—is obsolete. At present, I believe masculinity is simply a term that defines a person who completely accepts him/herself and shares that expression fearlessly.”

“Self care to me is putting daily systems in place that protect and maintain physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual wellbeing. When one of the four is out of sync, the others tend to follow suit until the walls of our “temple” collapse. Destruction prevention lies in the simple, daily investment of time and energy to ask, “am I okay? If not, what needs to change?”

“I celebrate my body by accepting that it changes constantly! Some days/weeks/months I feel snatched and other days...well, not so much! All in all though, it’s the body I’m in and it’s mine to mold, tweak, and fine tune as I may.”
