Healing comes in small pieces. This is one small part of reclaiming my indigenous heritage. It may look like nothing to some, but just being asked to help release the Cedar back to the earth gave me more healing than I ever imagined. I also used this moment to release the remainder of my hair I've been holding onto for 2+ years.
There were 3 Cedar boughs & 3 braids left.
It felt like it was the right time.
I have never been taught how to do this, so I did it the only way I knew: I shared it with my children and my husband. I gave Gratitude to the boughs and my hair for the job they had completed. I thanked my ancestors for placing me in this moment and for allowing me to honoured with this request.
I gave one bundle to each of my boys and I took the third bundle. The power of 3. It means something different to each person, but today it meant healing for us.
Blessings to all for the coming of the new calendar year. May 2026 bring you everything you deserve and work for. ππ«π
