Taking a break from themes such as #AIACT, #GenerativeAI and #Am-I-AI-? let's focus just for a moment on spring, light, the power of stories to change and to communicate and the 'whyness' of your hard work. Today is #IMBOLC - the beginning of spring and the festival of light in the old Celtic tradition. It's a day of positivity, when new beginnings happen, when the fruits of our labours may start to be seen.......if we've done it right. It is also a day to celebrate for other, important reasons. Brigid's Day is now a national holiday in #Ireland, following years of campaigning by many groups including #herstory to bring about equality, representation and identity in terms of how we celebrate, what we remember and why. You can read all about the incredible campaign that took place in Ireland. Brigid, who is a Celtic Goddess and a religious saint crosses boundaries; for some it unites otherwise disparate groups. Whether it's in work or in life, knowing our "story", why we do what we do and what we are trying to achieve is essential to #communication, to bridge gaps and bring people together. Take a moment for yourself, you deserve it. Maybe though you could also think of your story, your company's story and what your customers and clients hear. Make the message work whether it's personal, your branding, your organisational imperative or for humanity. https://lnkd.in/ecyrX3ZQ

Brigid's Day | Lá Fhéile Bríde For just over a year now, I have felt Brigid's knock on the door; she has crossed the threshold from her world into mine in many ways. My middle name is Brigid, so I feel Brigid-centred. I was born on the 9th of February, not long after her feast day. I come from a long line of Brigid's. My maternal grandmother, great-grandmother, and great-great-grandmother are and were all Brigid's, to name but a few connections. When my mother passed away in January last year, there was just one thing that I wanted of hers, and that was her St Brigid’s Cross. I didn't know why at the time, but I can engage in its symbolism now. The celebration of Brigid's Day as a national holiday in Ireland underscores the significance of embracing change and transition. Brigid embodies the duality of many spiritual traditions and symbolises the threshold, the space between two opposites. Participating in this liminal space, perhaps through deeper exploration of ourselves, through intuitive practices, invoking Imbas, active imagination, dream analysis, and communing with nature could help initiate this, allowing us to gain self-awareness and a deeper understanding of humanity and the other-than-human world. Through arts and culture, we can explore thresholds and gain insights into our emotions and experiences to navigate transformation and change. However, contemporary Irish society faces challenges, such as a lack of meaningful rites of passage, a loss of connection with our inner selves, hustle culture, and environmental apathy. Addressing these issues by promoting structured rituals and preserving natural rhythms can lead to a more sustainable and fulfilling future. We can create a more harmonious and thriving society by recognising the importance of embracing transition and change while preserving cultural traditions. Brigid reminds us that navigating transitional periods can lead to self-discovery and that exploring thresholds offers a rich metaphor for exploring a wide range of human experiences and emotions. #BrigidsDay #Imbolc #InnerWisdom #Inspiration #GoddessBrigid #Imbas #JuniganPsychology #creativity #ireland #StBrigidsDay

Day 3 ✊🏿 Ujima (collective work and responsibility) underscores the imperative for communities to collaboratively address challenges, provide support, and foster a more cohesive and prosperous future. Unfortunately, these endeavors are frequently undermined or terminated by state entities. Harlem Youth Opportunities Unlimited (HARYOU) embodied Black collective work and responsibility, successfully enhancing opportunities for young Harlem residents. Yet, it faced an unceremonious defunding. Similarly, the Black Panther Party's free breakfast program, another example of this collective ethos, met the needs of the people. Regrettably, it was co-opted by the state, and disinformation, including false claims of poisoned and unsafe food, was disseminated to diminish its impact. The principle of Ujima underscores the necessity of concerted efforts to yield positive community outcomes. Recognizing that such initiatives have historically faced opposition and subversion, there is a compelling need to deliberately pool skills, perspectives, and resources. This collaborative approach builds power, fosters goal attainment, and cultivates community development. Achieving these objectives demands thoughtful, collective, and principled action. How are you actively incorporating the principles of Ujima in your communities? #kwanzaaprinciples #ujima #haryou #bpp #freefoodprogram #wethepeople #abolition #blackbostonians #wethenorth #blackliberation #blm #blacklivesmatter #blmboston
