As bright as the light on the Luxor

I woke up this morning on the final 13th of 2013, or more precisely the final Friday the 13th of 2013, with a very insistent image in my mind. Again and again as I tried to doze, I kept seeing the bright spotlight of the Luxor Hotel in my mind’s eye.

And then, I was reminded of something I hadn’t thought of in quite a while, one of the best compliments of my life.

In 1994 at the conclusion of a personal growth seminar, an aquaintance came up to me and gave me that gift. He was a fireman I knew of from my husband’s fire department, but we did not know one another well. As everyone was exchanging expressions of gratitude and goodbyes, this man looked me in the eyes with an immense expression of awe.

He took my hand and with a wonder and emphasis to his voice said,

“YOU are as bright as the light on the Luxor!”

Needless to say, I was stunned and humbled at his remark. It has stayed with me ever since. I saw him again this year, twenty years later and told him that he had given me the best compliment of my life. He blushed and smiled. I gave him a huge hug.

I’ve lived in the Las Vegas/Henderson Valley for 36 of my 43 years of life.  For the past twenty years, I have had various moments of driving at night and finding myself captivated by the luminous light of our landmark Luxor.  Those words speak to me yet again, “You are as bright as the light on the Luxor.”

I’m still humbled by that, yet many, many times it has empowered me.
It’s beam is brilliant, radiant, powerful and can be seen throughout the valley, and at times even from space. I hope that I may say at the end of my life that I managed to shine my light as brightly as that.

Waking to this very insistent image and hearing these words again this morning, more began to stir within me. Scenes of synchronous moments in my life came to the forefront and inspiring visions I’ve had over the years. I feel them beginning to align, to clarify and to point the way for me, much like that glorious beam of light.

Today, I’m reminded to shine my own light brightly without hiding or dulling it and to encourage others to do the same.

Afterall, we are all truly luminous, “as bright as the light on the Luxor.”

SHINE ON!

Love Wisdom

The Love Wisdom  ~ of Mother Teresa & Princess DianaImage
 “Spread love everywhere you go. Let no one ever come to you without leaving happier.”
~ Mother Teresa

“I knew what my job was; it was to go out and meet the people and love them.”
~ Princess Diana

“If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other.”
~ Mother Teresa”

I think the biggest disease the world suffers from in this day and age is the disease of people feeling unloved. I know that I can give love for a minute, for half an hour, for a day, for a month, but I can give. I am very happy to do that, I want to do that.”
~ Princess Diana

“I have found the paradox, that if you love until it hurts, there can be no more hurt, only more love.” ~ Mother Teresa

“Every one of us needs to show how much we care for each other and, in the process, care for ourselves.” ~ Princess Diana

“…do small things with great love.” ~ Mother Teresa

“I touch people. I think everyone needs that. Placing a hand on a friend’s face means making contact.” ~ Princess Diana

“Let us touch the dying, the poor, the lonely and the unwanted according to the graces we have received and let us not be ashamed or slow to do the humble work.” ~ Mother Teresa

“Helping people in need is a good and essential part of my life, a kind of destiny.”
~ Princess Diana

“Intense love does not measure, it just gives.” ~ Mother Teresa

This heart wisdom is shared in honor of these two divinely mothering souls and in remembrance of their passings so close together in 1997 ~ Diana, August 31st and Mother Teresa, September 5th 1997.

May their wisdom and example remind us how TO LOVE IN THIS WORLD.

At the time that Princess Diana and Mother Teresa passed from this world, I was living with cancer of the womb. I was aware of the legacy of love and the empowerment of mothering that these women represented at the very time that I was letting go of birthing more children.  There was a soulful feeling of significance for me then.  I continue to feel it. To this very day, I feel a calling to “spread love” everywhere I can. ~ DeAnne

It’s All Sacred

I am appreciating that one of the very first labyrinths I walked in this life was here at THE labyrinth of Chartres Cathedral, France. What a journey ~ then and now.

BLESSING ALL THE JOURNEYS ~ withIN and around us all. ♥

“IT’S ALL SACRED……”

June 1, 2013 marked the one year anniversary of this beautiful blessed moment. The expansive realization I received here ~~ as light from the cathedral’s window cascaded upon me ~~~ was “IT’S ALL SACRED……”

I had traveled across the world to walk ancient paths and experience sacred sites on a Divine Feminine, spirit connecting, heart-expanding and soul deepening journey….

It was a complete and extraordinary experience in so many vast, indescribable ways… A year has still not been enough time for me to understand and assimilate it all… And yet, the sweetness of this moment stands above and apart from it all…… as it was purely my own inner knowing and guidance from beyond the veil of this world.

I heard within me the stirrings of a light, amused, wise voice saying…. “Yes, all these places are wondrous ~ cathedrals, grottos, pilgrims paths…. Now you know they are all within you. This beauty, this grace, this connection to oneness…. is always there, and it is everywhere you will ever be. You needn’t seek out marvelous cathedrals of stained glass windows… You can and you will relish the beauty; but know this….. you know this now…..
IT’S ALL SACRED.”

This moment came after arriving at the center of the labyrinth at Chartres Cathedral. I was filled with reassurance and a deeper sweeter confidence in my own inner guidance. Indeed I had walked into my own center within. Upon walking out of the labyrinth, a light had genuinely and physically infused me as the sunlight shining through the magnificent stained glass window at the front of the cathedral beamed down upon me, directly on my forehead.

It remains a deeply sacred experience.

Avalon

THE RETURN OF AVALON ~ “It’s a sign!” Incredulous: This was a magic moment spotting this road sign just as One Republic’s “Good Life” was playing on the radio.It is exhilirating to recognize those potent synchronicities of life as they happen. This was a day for them for sure.  After annointing myself with the Avalon Priestess essential oil  “Morgaine le Fey”  (made by wondrous Anita Kocourek and Aimee DeLine Alley of Apothicaire de Fleurs) in the morning, I drove past this street intersection. I was on my way ~ heading to play in the park with my niece.

The ladies of The Heroine’s Journey will appreciate this, especially my fellow heroines who were part of the Priestesses of Avalon group in our first workshop.

Glastonbury AbbeyAnd to think, I walked on that very sacred ground last year with Reiki Master and longtime friend Maureen O’Shaughnessy when we visited the ancient Isle of Avalon near Glastonbury.

That journey followed walking in the footsteps of Mary Magdalene Mary Magdalenein southern France.
Amazing! The music and this little divine sign on the road of life just put so many things all together right now.Life is really something!
It’s gotta be a good life.   It really is a good life, a good good life.
