Why do we cling so tightly to control? It’s time to explore the fear behind it and discover how letting go honors the freedom and dignity of others to walk their own path.

As the wheel turns and the first stirrings of spring awaken, join me for a sacred celebration of Imbolc. This is a time to honor the growing light, the promise of renewal, and the blessings of Brigid, the Goddess of Spring and Keeper of the Flame.

Together, we will:
✨ Create sacred space
✨ Call upon the elements and invoke the Goddess
✨ Plant seeds of intention through a guided meditation
✨ Release what no longer serves us and welcome what we wish to flourish

This ceremony is open to all who wish to honor the season, deepen their spiritual connection, and plant the seeds for a vibrant and meaningful year ahead.

What to Bring:
To prepare for this sacred celebration, you may wish to gather:

A candle (preferably white or yellow) and matches or a lighter
A small bowl of water
A small dish of salt or soil
A seed or a small object to represent your intention
A journal or piece of paper and a pen
Any sacred items you'd like to place nearby (crystals, symbols of spring, etc.)
Comfortable seating and a quiet space

Whether this is your first time celebrating Imbolc or part of your regular spiritual practice, you are warmly invited to join in this meaningful ritual.

NOTE: My beloved friends,

Since I knew I would be out of town during Imbolc, I created and pre-recorded this special celebration so that we could still honor this sacred time together. You are always in my heart, and I wanted to ensure we could share this moment of renewal, hope, and intention as one.

I love you all deeply and wish you the brightest blessings this Imbolc. May the growing light fill your hearts, may your intentions flourish, and may the goddess bless you with inspiration and grace.

Blessed Imbolc, my dear ones.

With love,
Bernard

An Imbolc Blessing from My Heart to Yours

As the Wheel turns and we step into Imbolc, let us pause in this in-between time—between winter’s stillness and spring’s first breath. The light is returning, the fire within us rekindling, and the whispers of new beginnings are stirring just beneath the surface.

May the warmth of Brigid’s flame ignite your passion, your creativity, and your purpose. May you find clarity in the quiet moments, strength in the unseen growth, and trust in the process of becoming.

Like the first brave shoots breaking through the frost, may you embrace your own unfolding with courage and grace. May your spirit be nourished, your dreams be blessed, and your path be illuminated with the gentle promise of brighter days ahead.

You are growing, you are evolving, and you are exactly where you need to be.

Blessed Imbolc, dear ones. Let’s step into the light together. Blessed Be. 🙏

The spiritual threads of my life wove together as I embarked on my first shamanic vision quest at 23. Guided by ritual and intent, I created a sacred space to reconnect with the womb of the earth. Through fasting and meditation, I confronted my deepest self and stepped onto the path of a healer. Part Four of my journey.

Mental calmness comes from trusting that you can handle whatever life brings, rather than fearing the unknown. When you trust yourself and the flow of life, your mind doesn’t have to cling to worry, allowing peace to take its place. 🙏✨🙏

The upcoming February 10th deadline is indeed a pivotal opportunity for Tribal Nations to reaffirm their sovereignty and advocate for the federal support they are owed—not as a privilege, but as a responsibility rooted in treaty obligations and trust relationships.

It is essential to remind decision-makers that Tribes are sovereign governments, not special interest groups, and programs supporting Native communities stem from constitutional and legal commitments, not discretionary spending. Native Americans are citizens of their respective Nations, and their needs and rights must be acknowledged in ways that honor these sacred agreements.

The recent memorandum from OMB, along with its freeze on financial programs, presents undeniable challenges. However, it also serves as a call to action for Tribes to assert their voices in shaping federal policy during this critical review process. Programs that address education, healthcare, infrastructure, and housing—cornerstones of thriving Native communities—must not be sidelined. Any disruption to these initiatives threatens not only Tribal sovereignty but also the well-being and self-determination of Indigenous peoples.

As we approach February 10th, Tribal leaders and advocates must unite to ensure their voices are heard. By participating actively in this review process, we protect what sustains our communities and secure the resources necessary for future generations. Together, we can remind those in power of the profound legal and moral obligations that bind the federal government to Tribal Nations.

Now is the time to stand firm, to lead with strength, and to demand that our voices shape the policies and funding decisions that directly affect our peoples.

The upcoming deadline for agencies to send a list to the White House by February 10th is a critical moment for tribal entities to make their voices heard and emphasize the importance of federal support for their communities.

It is essential for tribal entities to assert their sovereignty and unique status as sovereign governments, not merely as a special interest group. Funding allocated for Tribes in various programs should be viewed as a trust responsibility and treaty obligation, rather than discretionary aid. Native Americans are citizens of their Tribes, not just a racial category, and programs serving Tribes and Natives are rooted in constitutional, trust responsibility, and treaty-based relationships with Tribal governments and their citizens.

The recent memorandum from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) underlines the administration's focus on aligning federal spending with Presidential priorities. The temporary pause on financial assistance programs aims to ensure compliance with the administration's directives, particularly in rooting out specific policies such as DEI, transgenderism, and Green New Deal initiatives. While exceptions may be granted on a case-by-case basis, the broad scope of the pause signals a significant disruption to federal funding across various sectors.

The potential impact of the freeze extends to a wide range of programs that support lower-income households, including critical initiatives such as Medicaid, school meal programs, rental assistance, education grants, and child care funding. Additionally, infrastructure projects, clean water initiatives, and foreign aid grants are likely to be affected, alongside clean energy projects and state highway reimbursements.

Tribal communities must engage with their federal partners to ensure their specific needs and priorities are not overlooked during this review process. By emphasizing their unique status as sovereign governments with distinct legal and political standing, Native American communities can advocate for the preservation of essential federal funding that sustains their well-being and promotes self-determination.

As agencies prepare to submit their reports to the White House by February 10th, it is crucial for Native American leaders and advocates to actively participate in the review process, safeguarding the interests and rights of their communities. By staying informed, engaged, and united in their efforts, Native American communities can navigate these challenging times and ensure their voices are heard in shaping federal policies and programs that impact their lives.

So many people never stop to really look at themselves. They’re like machines, shaped by the world around them—just going through the motions of eating, working, sleeping, and chasing entertainment. Most don’t even know what they’re searching for or why they can’t seem to find true happiness or lasting peace. By avoiding self-reflection, they stay stuck, letting their environment dictate who they are. But here’s the truth: real progress, real growth, starts with honest self-analysis. It’s the most powerful tool we have to truly evolve. ✨🙏✨ One Love 💖

To nurture positive thoughts, start by practicing gratitude daily—it shifts your focus to the good in your life. Surround yourself with uplifting people, consume inspiring content, and spend time in nature. Meditation and affirmations can also help reframe negative patterns, allowing your "mental garden" to flourish. 🌷🦋🪻
