2026 is approaching quickly. While I wait in anticipation of the new year, this is my posture. Standing with my head to the sky. Offering gratitude for all that has been and all that will be. Optimistic. As hell.
We Three Kings! It has been an immense pleasure to share the stage with these two KINGS. From Broadway to Opera and everything in between theyāve shown themselves to be the best of the best. We have really, really great conversations and the vibes? Top tier. Immaculate even! Love you guys!
This year, Martin Luther King Jr. Day feels heavier, deeper, more urgent. May we all find the courage to be our most outspoken, authentic, and bold selves in the face of injustice. Dr. Kingās legacy reminds us that silence is not an option, and complacency has no place in the work of justice.
As we reflect on his life, may we recommit to the tireless pursuit of equity, compassion, and truth. The arc of the moral universe may bend toward justice, but it does so only with our collective hands pulling it forward.
Letās continue to do the workāwithin ourselves, in our communities, and beyond. Letās believe that change is possible, even when it feels far away.
Today, letās honor his memory not just with words, but with action.
I thought they said the sun doesnāt shine like this in the Pacific Northwest?ā š Well, itās shining today, baby!
Yes, it rains a lot here, but every so often, the sun breaks throughāand sometimes, it even shines while the rain is falling. š¦ Thatās life, isnāt it? A mix of rain and sunshine, often all at once.
Life is complicated, and so are we. Itās okay to feel it allājoy, sadness, hope, fearāall at the same time. The key is giving yourself permission to feel without judgment. In my experience, leaning into those emotions, instead of avoiding them, makes it so much easier to process and grow.
And donāt forget to lean on your people. Find your tribe and stay close. Letās be here for each other through all the rain and sunshine.

Weāre all in this togetherāletās weather the storms and bask in the sun as one. š
Thereās no denying itāthereās a lot going on in the world right now. The idea of living and chasing our dreams amidst it all can feel overwhelming, even scary. The weight of it is real.
But today, I woke up and made a choice: to stare it all in the face and defiantly live. Iām still here, Iām still useful, and Iāll keep chasing my dreams until the wheels fall offāor until the end of the apocalypse š .
To everyone affected by the fires in LA and to anyone struggling right now, my prayers are with you. Letās hold space for one another, keep pushing forward, and stay connected through it all.
How are you staying grounded and moving forward these days? Share in the commentsāIād love to hear from you. š
This Christmas wasnāt my best everāand you know what? Thatās okay. I think thereās this pressure to make every holiday, birthday, or celebration outshine the last, and Iām not sure how healthy that is.
This year, Iām celebrating something deeper: growth. The last quarter of this year has transformed me in ways I couldnāt have imagined. Iāve expanded, evolved, and become a better version of myselfāBernard 2.0, if you will.
Coming home was a challenge because Iām navigating how to exist as this new version of me in familiar spaces. But Iām proud. Proud of how far Iāve come, proud of how Iām showing up, and proud to face these challenges head-on.
If youāve been through your own season of growth, I hope youāre taking a moment to celebrate that, too. Letās keep growing in 2025. Happy holidays, yāall! š

Why not???
Why not be yourself?
Why not be funny, fat, and fabulous?
Why not shoot for the moon and land among the stars �
Someone is going to do, be, or haveā¦why not YOU?

āFear is what if. Faith is even if.
Iāve been having the time of my life latelyālearning to love yourself really is the greatest love of all. š
This isnāt toxic positivity; itās rolling with the punches, living on lifeās terms, and believing in magicāeven when you canāt feel it.ā
