Those beautiful moments infused with inspired alignment are ones I cherish.
I just experienced one of them……
Sitting by the fire on this rainy Sunday morning, with my loving husband drifting into a relaxed nap, I am deep in appreciative contemplation. I, like so many today, am pondering the momentous experience of participating in the historic Women’s March.
As an incredible flood of moments fill my heart and images around the world fill my mind, these words sang out across our “Home.” They came from the stereo of the young woman who is my daughter. With passion and pure spirit, I heard her clear voice singing along while in the shower. Precious chills and a knowing thankfulness move through me…..
We, my family and so many in our circles of connection, are home…. in our hearts and in a unity of spirit. We know we’re not alone. My faith in so much possibility and in humanity is pulsing today.
This morning, witnessing the outpouring of love in action and expression around the world…. I sing this too:
This creation is an invitation, a remembrance and a celebration of the sacred union within ourselves, in our relationships and in our world. I created it with a deep sense of love, multi-layered awareness and humble awe. It was first shown to a small group at our collaborative Sacred Union Evening on April 30, 2016. Today, I vulnerably share it with you.
Today, May 22, 2016, I am also offering this on my own 23rd wedding anniversary in honor of the beloved love I have found within myself, in my life, and in the connection I now share with my husband, Brian. The image of the toes touching shown in this video are our actual toes as we sat together happily at the beach this year.
And now I offer the message I placed on this video creation:
This is an intimate remembrance and a timeless, soulful invitation to sacred union. It is a call to bring honoring, mutual respect and harmonious balance to the feminine and masculine energies within us and throughout our world, one person at a time.
The song “Thousand Years” had a potent, soul resonant feel to me from the very first time I heard it…. I felt it as a beloved timeless love song between souls, an invocation from the divine, a remembrance of the inner and outer balance of the divine feminine and divine masculine and a call from the Sacred to Awaken and embody this inner marriage, this sacred union, and this balance in our world…. It is a multilayered love song across time, both divine and human. It recalls an eternal invitation to enter into this union within ourselves first and foremost and to create that sacred marriage in our intimate relationships beyond our precious selves.
For me, I hear too…. the voices of Jesus and his beloved Mary Magdalene and all the avatar beloveds across time. With these lyrics, I hear them in turn and together speak to our hearts and souls… inviting, encouraging, reminding and loving us as we walk our paths each day and take each breath and each step.
May we recognize that we are the ones we have waited for….and embody this Way of Love.
“One Step Closer……”
~ This is an offering of love. May it touch your heart.
Blessings & Profound Love, Always, DeAnne

For whatever reason, the death of Prince has broken my heart open wider this morning than at any time since learning of his sudden passing…
I had watched the sheriff’s news announcement from yesterday. I was in the midst of reading an article that spoke of fans finding seemingly prophetic references to his April death in some of his song lyrics… My heart was heavy… The tears arrived like no time since his sudden passing.
The tears came in earnest….
and then….
honestly
at that exact moment…..
a dove struck the window of my home right in front of me and flew off……..
Yes, I’m still right here….
filled with an other-worldly sense of awe.
My distance eye sight has been significantly improving with each optometrist visit over the past few years, after thirty years of being near sighted! Today I learned that it’s 50 points better in each eye. That is substantial. Wow!!
My doctor said (with a smirk) that, in one respect, my eyes are returning to their baby vision. I remarked, “Hey, I’ve got Merlin eyes. They’re youthening!!” He smiled at that (and then we proceeded on with our philosophical, political and educational discussions…)
As I contemplate this morning’s experience, I see a variation on a recent theme.
SEEING WITH NEW EYES…. It’s come forward often and in a variety of ways, through various people…
My doctor and I got talking today on topics that dealt with many aspects of life that we each find discouraging, unsettling and even disturbing about our country and the times we are living in now… Hmmm… I SEE that it’s time to look upon all this with clearer vision and fresh eyes…
We can utilize our REAL-Eyes and REALIZE…how we each can play our role in creating the VISION of the world that we wish to see… FOCUSing on the new that we want to create and following through with actions that support that VISION.
Since the theme of SEEING WITH NEW EYES..has come up again and again, via posts, messages and ‘signs’ shared among my friends and family, I believe this is all quite spot on….
YES…. LET’S SEE WITH NEW EYES and CREATE OUR VISION IN THE WORLD!!
The moon last night was an extraordinary and other worldly experience. I looked up to see a magificent full ring around her in the sky. There was a feeling of being pulled in by this luminous magnificence. I’ve admired beautiful lunar sights before yet never experienced anything like what I saw and felt last night. It was almost transportive. Even my mother-in-law was overwhelmed with the energy she felt when she gazed at it.. What a cosmic encounter, from our own backyard. I stood there for a few moments with my heart and arms wide open.
Have you had any potent celestial experiences recently? The autumn skies seem ripe with magic to harvest, day and night.
I have read very briefly from a couple sources that these next two weeks will have us immersed in some very potent even life changing energy…on a personal and collective scale… beginning with tomorrow’s Full Moon Eclipse on October 8th.
May you feel yourSelf immersed in a genuine depth of Love beneath the luminous moon and radiant sun… We are made of that same celestial stuff. KEEP SHINING. xo
This spontaneously began singing in me yesterday out of nowhere, right after I’d had my own challenging feelings of major worry arise… It is not a song I ever think of, so I immediately felt the calm of my own higher wisdom and precious unseen comforting.. ❤ It was very much like angelic music straight to my heart in that moment. May it comfort you too. D*

“Come and Stand Beside Us…. We Can Find a Better Way.”
I created this video in 2011 in honor of the 10th anniversary of 9/11. I still vividly recall the moment that this song came on my car stereo just days after that tragic world changing event…..
On that day in September 2001, I was contemplating the fear we were all struggling with in the wake of this horrific event. I was in the midst of driving home from a Montessori teachers workshop and recognizing the resonance of Dr. Maria Montessori‘s visionary belief that “Hope Lies Within the Child.” All of That was on my mind and heart as John Denver’s “Rhymes and Reasons” began singing out over my car stereo. His voice of optimism gave me hope and filled my heart in that moment…. And then, I was flooded with chills as the line “Though the cities start to crumble.. And the towers fall around us” called out…. That very event had just shockingly happened in our world and John Denver wrote and sang of it in 1969!
It still sings so strongly….
May we continue learning that The Power of Love can overcome the fears in this world. Hope does lie in the children and we can come together. “Come and stand beside us. We can find a better way”
So you speak to me of sadness
And the coming of the winter
Fear that is within you now
It seems to never end
And the dreams that have escaped you
And the hope that youve forgotten
You tell me that you need me now
You want to be my friend
And you wonder where were going
Wheres the rhyme and wheres the reason
And its you cannot accept
It is here we must begin
To seek the wisdom of the children
And the graceful way of flowers in the wind
For the children and the flowers
Are my sisters and my brothers
Their laughter and their loveliness
Could clear a cloudy day
Like the music of the mountains
And the colours of the rainbow
Theyre a promise of the future
And a blessing for today
Though the cities start to crumble
And the towers fall around us
The sun is slowly fading
And its colder than the sea
It is written from the desert
To the mountains they shall lead us
By the hand and by the heart
They will comfort you and me
In their innocence and trusting
They will teach us to be free
For the children and the flowers
Are my sisters and my brothers
Their laughter and their loveliness
Could clear a cloudy day
And the song that I am singing
Is a prayer to non believers
Come and stand beside us
We can find a better way
This moment and this precious sacred image called to be shared in honor of this Easter weekend 2014.
This remains one of my favorite images from my glorious divine feminine journey through France in 2012. I will never forget my solo sojourn through St. Sulpice in Paris, France days after walking in Magdalene’s footsteps.
I could sit and gaze upon this beautiful Pieta for hours… So much stirs of Beloved Love, Divine Union and a Sacred Lineage…. It is mesmerizing to behold.
This IS the dawning of our Love. We sisters, our brothers, our Lovers, our circles, the Sacred Feminine, the Divine Masculine, the Sacred Union and the BELOVED connections are Awakening.
This song is singing out for ALL OF US………
And of course, it happens to be 11:11 as I first shared this. Gotta love it!!
I FEEL YOU
I feel you Your sun it shines I feel you Within my mind You take me there You take me where the kingdom comes You take me to and lead me through Babylon This is the morning of our love It’s just the dawning of our love I feel you Your heart it sings I feel you The joy it brings Where Heaven waits Those golden gates and back again You take me to and lead me through Oblivion This is the morning of our love It’s just the dawning of our love I feel you Your precious soul and I am whole I feel you Your rising sun, my kingdom comes I feel you Each move you make I feel you Each breath you take Where Angel’s sing And spread their wings, my love’s on high You take me home To glory’s throne by and by This is the morning of our love This is the dawning of our love This is the morning of our love It’s just the dawning of our love
Wow…. I love this song… I love how it arrived in my life, and I love all the layers of meaning and messages it conveys…. for us ALL. xo Wowza! ~~~~ I FEEL YOU. Love, Always, DeAnne
Perusing my writings today…. I came across this dream that I had ten days ago. It followed three weeks after a communication gone badly with a soul friend, a person who has been a catalyst in my life. I learned so much from that. I honed my core, my inner resolve, my discernment, my boundaries, my forgiveness, my strength and my authentic truth. It was painful yet purposeful.
I find I am so capable of carrying and flowing enormous love. In life, in death, in everything, only love remains. ❤
This was a beautiful loving dream of understanding shared between each of us. Though our very human selves fumble at times, all of us, the call to truly love ourselves and share love with others is ultimate truth. This dream felt like an acknowledgment of that. No matter what comes of this now, whether our friendship is eventually restored in fullness here or lovingly let go by each of us, Love remains. Spirits and Souls know that. I’ll trust the unfolding.
Here is my dream of my soul friend and I:
The energies flowed between us and so much was shared.
I dreamt that she was sitting at a breakfast table with me. Her hair was in soft curls and lit from behind by the morning sun. Though her eyes squinted, her presence was much softer. As I gazed at her, the sun shone golden behind her and gave a soft shadowing to her face. She wanted to connect with me. There was still a slight edge but much more softness to her.
We exchanged our views easily, and she commented that we needed a sense of closure. That was how the dream ended.
On the day of this dream I attended a funeral service for a friend’s father, and later I went with dear friends to the panel discussion “Does It Matter if Jesus Had a Wife?” at the university. Synchronicity abounded. Deep conversations were shared. I learned of a friend’s mother’s death that morning. I would learn of another mother’s death the next morning. It is such a reminder to love while we are here.
Interestingly, my teenage daughter had had a dream just a week before of this same soul friend reuniting with me in our home. In her dream, we two were apologizing to one another, sitting on the couch talking with heartfelt focus and then “hugging it out.”
Dreams, waking moments of meaning… all of it stirs wonder. I let go of the outcome.
There is a divine orchestration. I am honoring it, trusting and appreciating.. Behind it all is SO MUCH LOVE…..
