Freedoommmmmmmmm!!!  Ok, so we just performed for Freedom High School in South Riding, VA. Hello to all the FHS Eagles!!!  It was a lot of fun to be there and hear so many kind words after the show.  I've especially appreciated the incredible messages I've received from those of you who got a chance to see it.  I've been really encouraged to continue these shows after all the positive feedback. So, thank you to all that made it possible. 

I'm really excited about all the important issues that were able to be brought up. I'm especially excited about the "Freedom Fridays" that started from this show, and I wanted to share it with all of you that weren't there.  Every Fridaywill now be declared "Freedom Friday" in which every one will be allowed a fresh start, new opportunities, and most importantly... be FREE from ridicule or lonelyness, whether you're in school or not, student or teacher, child or parent, young or old... you can be FREE! Freedom Fridays will do just the trick... assuming there are participants...

One of my favorite things to do is to wave and smile at people, whether I know them or not. I actually find it's most exciting and satisfying to wave and smile at people that I don't know but look like they're having a bad day or are really mad. It's amazing to see how they react. Most often, it begins with a look of confusion, but it generally moves very quickly into a look of relief and joy! That is always so satisfying to me to see a smile returned. I think on Freedom Fridays we should all try this as best as we can.

I also LOVE to ask random people how their day is going or how they are doing.

I've learned a really  interesting fact about people's response to this question. The first time you ask, the response will almost always be either "good" or "fine."  However, I've learned that if you ask the same person that same question within the same short conversation, they will almost always think for a second and tell you, at least in part, how they REALLY feel.  Give it a try. It's really fun to see how it works. The next step is to make sure you really listen, especially the second time you ask because you're about to draw out of them something they've been trained not to tell you, and you'll be setting them FREE!!!

Well that's my blurb for the day. I'll be trying to check in with you all more often from now on, so be sure to check in with me more often too, and be sure to leave me a comment with your responses and the responses you get when you give all this a try! I can't wait to hear from you soon.

Peace and be blessed!
Phillip

Hello all!
I was just recently honored with the surreal opportunity to be the commencement speaker at my high school's graduation back in VA. (A big hello to all the PVHS peeps, past and present!)
It was kind of crazy to be back with so many of my former teachers... this time, not as a student but as the guest of honor. :)  I was most certainly honored, especially knowing that the graduation was held in the DC area, and there were so many more important people to choose from ahead of me to be the speaker.  It kind of felt like I won a Teen Choice Award. :)

(Quick side note: I was recently told that Dance War was nominated for one this year, so be sure to send in your vote!)

Anyway, I love being able to help and inspire people with my music and words, so this was fun for me, and hopefully for all who attended too. With so many new faces mixed in with the familiar, it was kind of strange and fun to feel like the new kid again, but I think I made some new friends outta the deal. :)

I'm back in Nashville now, recording more of my new music for the album and getting ready for the national tour! I'm looking forward to seeing many more new and smiling faces this fall...

      Phoenix, Arizona -  The Miss Arizona Pageant will be held this year at Mesquite High School in Gilbert, Arizona, June 18th thru 20th.   The final evening of the pageant, including the crowning of the new Miss Arizona, will be hosted by Phillip Clyde Bernier.   You may remember Phillip from a show last year on ABC called "Dance War - Bruno vs. Carrie Ann."  It was a competition show in which the contestants had to both sing and dance at the same time.  Phillip made it through to the end of the show and was on the winning Team Bruno.

     Since winning the show, Bernier has been living in Nashville, Tennessee, writing and recording his debut pop solo album, Do What You Dream.  He'll be debuting a song off of the up-coming album live at the Pageant on June 20th.  This will not only be Phillip's first live performance of "My Happy Song," but will also be his first national radio release. 

     He said of the song, "Most of my music has a deeper meaning, or a message, but this song I just wrote for fun because I love to dance, and it definitely gets me dancing!  As a matter of fact, it actually has a dance that goes with it that people can learn by watching the video."   MY HAPPY SONG was mastered by Tom Coyne [with current credits including the latest from Beyonce, Britney Spears, & Pink] @ Sterling Sound in NYC, which only adds to the excitement and anticipation of what promises to be the next summer hit.     Bernier said he is looking forward to more friends to join him on his MySpace page at www.myspace.com/DoWhatYouDream.  He has more new music there and will be adding video footage immediately following his Arizona performance, which is set to include ALL 20 of the MISS ARIZONA contestants assisting him in introducing the new song (and dance) to the world.  Tickets for the Miss Arizona Pageant can be purchased by calling 480-202-7980.
