Today we honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., a man whose courage reshaped this nation.
His most important accomplishments: ⢠Led the Civil Rights Movement through nonviolent resistance
⢠Helped dismantle Jim Crow segregation
⢠Championed the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965
⢠Gave voice to the moral truth that justice, dignity, and equality are not optional
What Dr. King believed vs. what weâre seeing today:
⢠MLK believed democracy expands â today we see voter suppression
⢠MLK believed diversity strengthens a nation â today itâs politicized and attacked
⢠MLK believed poverty was a moral failure of society â today the poor are blamed
⢠MLK believed truth and love confront power â today power often attacks truth
Dr. King warned us about this moment. He spoke clearly about leaders who use fear, division, and dehumanization to maintain control.
One quote says it all:
âA nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual death.â â Martin Luther King Jr.
Honoring Dr. King isnât about nostalgia.
Itâs about courage â right now. âââ

The most meaningful spiritual growth doesnât usually happen when everything is quietâwhen youâre meditating, praying, or on your yoga mat.
It happens right in the middle of real life. In moments of conflict. When youâre frustrated, angry, or afraid. When youâre about to react the same old way⌠and then something clicks.
You pause.
You breathe.
And you realize you have a choice.
That momentâwhen you choose awareness over habit, compassion over reactivityâthatâs where true growth lives. Not in perfection, but in presence. đđ

Awakening doesnât always arrive with fireworks or visions. Most of the time, it shows up quietly in your everyday life. You might notice youâre less interested in proving yourself and more interested in being honest. Old patterns start to feel uncomfortable, even the ones that once felt ânormal.â You may feel more sensitive â to energy, to people, to injustice â and at the same time more grounded in who you are.
Another sign is discernment. You start choosing peace over chaos, truth over approval, rest over constant urgency. Some relationships fall away, not because anyone is wrong, but because youâre no longer vibrating at the same pace. And perhaps the clearest sign of all: you stop searching outside yourself for permission to be who you already are.
Awakening isnât about becoming someone new. Itâs about remembering who you were before the world told you who to be. đđ

Loving yourself isnât just affirmations and soft edgesâitâs also the courage to pause, reflect, and notice your patterns. Itâs asking, How am I showing up? Who is impacted by my choices? What needs to change? True self-love includes accountability, curiosity, and the willingness to grow without shame.

No matter our politics or faiths, ending the killing has to be the common groundâbecause peace begins the moment we decide no belief is worth more blood. đâ¨đ

May this turning of the year wrap you in gentleness and hope. I wish you deep healing from the year behind usâfrom the aches and grief we may have carried, from the fear stirred up by a chaotic world, and from any moments of lack or longing you may have lived through. You made it here, and that matters.
Whether itâs already midnight where you are or the clock is still counting down, I want to wish you a truly prosperous, peace-filled, joyful, and celebratory New Yearâs Eve and a beautiful Happy New Year. May laughter find you, may love surround you, and may all of your wishes come true in ways even better than you imagined.
With all of my love,
Bernard â¨

The pentacle isnât just a symbol â itâs a living, working tool. It holds the elements in balance and is often used to bless, cleanse, and protect. Whether itâs carved in wood, cast in metal, or traced gently through the air, the intention behind it is what gives it power. Do you work with a pentacle in your own practice? Iâd love to hear how you use it. ââ¨
