Being There
Yesterday we spent some time thinking about Dads. And when I went looking for images to decorate the post, I had an epiphany! Being a good dad to yourself looks a lot like Radical Self Care.
So, in that awareness, I’m going to share a small collection of pictures and paintings depicting dads, and I’d like to suggest that when we look at these images, we imagine what it would be like to be that stabilizing comforting strengthening presence not for our children, but for our actual selves.
Do you feel it? Can you imagine it? What if you actually spent the rest of the day being there for YOU in that kindly loving daddy way?

I think it's time to go shopping... maybe even buy some really cool stuff at my online shops!!
My father was good at being there for car/home repairs when my mother allowed it. Not good at all about being there for himself or us if the issue was physical or emotional issues. So I want/need a better role model. I am pretty sure my father chose death over living with my mother and the issues involved with her. So from my mother I learned that I was not worthy unless I was “doing” for her. From my Dad I learned a similar lesson better to die than take care of your own needs
So … lots of stuff to unlearn and put away! Your childhood sucked ass!!
And if you could develop a better role model… what would it look like?
