            <description>    &lt;p&gt;Intimacy... what a funny word. After a retreat that I attended on this weekend, it holds a new and profound meaning for me.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I am Alvin and I&amp;#39;m checking in as Happy, at Peace and Renewed.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;p&gt;I went to &amp;quot;Big Canoe&amp;quot; in the mountains of Georgia over the weekend and spent a life altering 3 days with 11 other amazing black men. We all shared and purged personal demons, past hurts and long hidden secrets. The end result was a wonderful and cathartic spiritual cleansing. I feel lighter and more focused. I have 10 new spirits that I now feel connected to and that I wish to nurture our relationships and allow them to grow. I also have a renewed mandate to get my personal space in order and get out of my own way.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#39;ve learned to begin to truly explore the way that my own past continues to control my present. I also realize now that I can no longer allow fear to keep me from being Present and in control of my life. It&amp;#39;s a process that I&amp;#39;m determined to commit to and hopefully share to the brothers and sisters in my circle.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As I check out, I just want to say - &amp;quot;Nurture and take care of the child within and he will help you to grow and manifest into a Happy and Healthy adult&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Until lata.... I appreciate all who have touched my life and taken the time out to check in on me from time to time.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Love,&lt;br /&gt;Alvin&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p style=&quot;clear:both;&quot;&gt;
