Call me anytime! ... Really?!

So, another day has been and gone. Following on from yesterday, I have been proactive and stepped forward with things. A friend called me which was great. It was someone I had considered calling when I was down yesterday, but was scared of "disturbing him". I'm not sure when I will finally believe him when he says "Call me anytime, man!" I want to believe it - my life would be better for believing it. So, right now I choose to believe it. If ever I'm down or if I ever want to simply connect positively with another guy I can call my friend. I feel better for simply typing that. Sometimes I wonder if I just don't give myself "permission" to live life! Let's not consider that tonight, but I feel there's something in that...

I went to the gym today and I met up with some other New Warriors. "New what??" you might ask. Well, I recently went on a New Warriors Training Adventure (NWTA). It is ran by the Mankind Project. It was an experiential weekend that I went on to further my healing. It is not in any way related directly to healing from homosexuality. It is about helping men be men! They describe the weekend as

"an intense, transformative men's initiation which invites men to forge a deep conscious connection between head and heart. The NWTA offers men a powerful, challenging opportunity to look at all aspects of their lives in a richly supportive environment."

It was certainly that and more. Go check it out! It runs all across the world. The Mankind Project have been going since the '80s. It's an impressive organisation.
