Everything sacred begins in the unseen.

---

Hey Family,

I’ve been sitting in the stillness this week, feeling into the silence rising underneath the noise. Maybe it’s the moonlight. The chaos around us. Or maybe, it's the invitation hiding in plain sight.

See, today is Friday the 13th, a day some call unlucky. But that’s not how our ancestors saw it. To many ancient & Indigenous cultures, 13 was sacred. A number of the moon. A number of the feminine. A number of natural rhythm & divine alignment. I was born on a Wednesday, under a full moon in the sign of The Lovers—just like this week. Doesn’t happen often. I think this is the greatest time to be alive. And I  also wonder what would it be like if we didn’t have a man-made calendar or clock. What would guide us?  What would still remind us of who we are & where we’re headed?

The heavens would. The moon. The seasons. The sunrises. The cycles. Signs above us, around us & rhythms within us. The Soul always knows.

And right now, with everything happening—fires, tension, disconnection, {like the confusion here in Southern California & across the US) —distraction is in the air.  Easy to think we’re alone. Easy to get lost in the noise.

But I believe every challenge we face—whether as men, families, or communities—is rooted in the same thing: disconnection.

Our illnesses? Disconnection between the body & mind.  Our grief? Disconnection between our truth & expression. Our society’s struggle? Disconnection from the soul—our original blueprint.

So what do we do? We reconnect.

Not only grand ways like protest & donating. In small, sacred ones.

Here are a few ways I invite you to try—this weekend & beyond:

For Your Self:

1. Ask yourself: Where in my life do I feel disconnected? Write it down. Not to fix, just to see clearly.

2. Practice 3-6-9 Breathing:

• Breathe in for 3 seconds

• Hold for 6

• Exhale slowly for 9 Repeat 4x. Let your nervous system know you’re safe.

3. Move your body slowly. Stretch with music. Walk barefoot on grass (get to the park). Do 10 deep squats. Move as a way to feel yourself again. Mind-body connect isn’t just for lifting.

For Your Relationships:

1. Call or message an estranged father or father figure. Not to fix everything—but to say, “I’m thinking of you.” That’s a seed. That’s enough. By this time, you’ve lived enough to know no man’s path was smooth.

2. Uplift a single dad. CashApp him lunch. Tell him he's doing a good job. Ask how he’s really doing. Let him talk. 

3. Remember the fathers who are incarcerated or distant. Speak their name with love. Write a prayer. Light a candle. Energy travels. Honor does, too. (Money on the account is most appreciated fyi).

4. Men: Honor each other. Pull your brother to the side. Look him in the eye. Say something real. Not surface. Soulful.

For the Bigger Picture:

Today, they may say it’s a day of bad luck. But we say: It’s a sacred pause. A powerful pivot. A reminder that the meanings we inherit are not always the ones we must keep.

We have the power to reinterpret what once limited us… And reinvent it into something that lifts us.

So, to every man who feels unseen. To every father doing his best in silence. To every son trying to break the cycle… You are not forgotten. You are not broken. You are being rebuilt.

Let this Friday the 13th be a blessing. Let this moon speak. Let your soul remember. And let us rise—together.

With love & appreciation,
