The Light of Love is so Brilliant, Darkness won’t Survive!

What could be more moving, more worthy, more fulfilling than getting to love someone? I cannot imagine a greater purpose in life…

We invite you, friends, family, sisters and brothers, to join us by shining your love on humanity through programs, education, scholarships, movies, and books. We want to touch the world with the powerful message of loving one another and loving the earth.

In this challenging time there are so many people in need of even basic essentials, and we are committed to meeting the needs of people in our community and also in other places around the world. In 2025, we have had a difficult time acquiring donations to reach our annual funding plan. Though we have tried to do what we could, it is our hope that 2026 will open the doors wider and we will be able to feed and clothe more people and also provide for the creative opportunities that lift the human spirit.

If you are able to help us begin our 2026 donation cycle now, please click the red button above (2026 Programs & Projects). We have developed some additional programs this year and organized future events, looking to next year in faith. We are so very grateful for any contributions you can make. Your prayers, your responses, your ideas, and your energy ignite our quest.

Love is always the answer… For we are the light we seek!

First Annual Humanity Shines Charity Bazaar!

On August 10 & 11, 2024 we held our first annual Charity Bazaar in our local community!! It turned out to be beautiful weather and a very fun weekend with lots of music, games, vendors, activities and food!!

The incredible Jukebox Duo, Kristy and Dave Lindemuth, played 50s/60s music nearly all day long on Saturday. We loved hearing the familiar tunes! I think everyone kept time to the beat, especially Fawn Destiny Grepo who blessed us with her impromptu and amazing hoop dance!

Much of our focus for the event was on our master plan, to build an administration facility on the property as we gear up to launch some amazing projects. On Saturday, we actually held our first class for the KaLIGHToscope Art Camp. Our Board Secretary and rock shop owner, Shawna Fitzpatrick-Harris taught jewelry-making to some very creative students. It was just the beginning of the courses we will offer for this program for children and adults (see more information HERE). Among other activities, we had face-painting by tattoo artist Faith Halseth, for brave individuals!

We have been operating Humanity Shines Organization for almost one year and it has truly blossomed into a powerful energy with so much potential ahead! We had some much-appreciated donations from our event. If you are reading this and want to be a part of our endeavor, please take a look at our PROJECTS and consider giving a donation by clicking the top red button on this page. Thank you so very much.

New Inspirational Story for Young People

Crabtree: Lost Kids of Borealonon is part of Humanity Shines’ Leaves on the Wind literary program.

Life teaches us many things and we are challenged to share what we learn with others. It is not always an easy task, not always rewarding in the ways we hope, and it can take sacrifice. But it is always fulfilling to our spirit because it is what drives our life’s purpose.

I started writing the structure of Crabtree: Lost Kids of Borealonon in 1987. I was taking a focused children’s literature class and one of our assignments was to create a fantasy/adventure story. As a mother of three young children at that time, I also wanted to incorporate deeper lessons into the storyline.

Twenty years later I found my story in a box and thought I could expand it into something greater. It has evolved through my own experiences and now it has become the first book in the fantasy/mystery/adventure Crabtree series.

At this time, I am developing and writing a screenplay based on the first book, and to my humble delight, the film will be directed by Martin Manuel Nuza! Martin was such an encouragement to me after he read the manuscript. He already had ideas about the film! Here is his initial response to the story:

“Crabtree is a truly great adventure book that is a perfect escape not only for children of all ages but also for adults, as this story has so many layers of adventure, emotions, mystery and legends it was hard to put it down. A book highly recommended for everyone. Well done Jane L. Fitzpatrick for such a beautiful story.”

~ Martin M. Nuza, author, screenwriter, film producer, director, and owner of Martin Nuza Productions

Please check out our new Crabtree Series website and share it with your preteen children! CRABTREE WEBSITE. We hope they love it!! 100% net sales go to the Humanity Shines Organization and their Leaves on the Wind literary program.

The book is on Amazon or autographed copies can be purchased at www.spiritwind.shop in the “For Kid’s Only” collection!

A Heart’s Awakening

AWAKENING IS PART OF HUMANITY SHINES’ LEAVES ON THE WIND LITERARY PROGRAM.

“Fitzpatrick’s deep reverence for the natural world shines through her poetic tapestry, as she beautifully weaves the elements of nature into her verses. From the gentle whisper of the wind to the radiant glow of the sun, she invites us to witness beauty in every aspect of creation.

~ Awakening review by “Books that Make You…”

Creator, God, Energy, Vibration, the Magnificent Imagination of the Universe, In, Around and Through all things, all Powerful, all Knowing… all of this is working in mysterious ways. This Infinite Force cannot be fully defined through labels, for it cannot be kept in a box. It cannot be limited or discerned in the mind, nor can it be judged by human standards. In Truth it can only be shared through love, compassion, and faith with Spiritual joy over-flowing and pouring out. These mysterious ways are unlimited and unstoppable. We must open our eyes and ears, our hearts and souls, we must get out-of-the-way and be ready to receive, even those things we do not understand.

Fear not.

In 2013-15 I was in California trying to get my Sacajawea, The Windcatcher screenplay produced into a film. It was a daunting task and one that is still ongoing. And during those two years I felt so alone. Yet there were things I had to realize and lessons I had to learn – for my heart was being cleansed. It was painful. I didn’t understand everything. I felt that what I believed all my life was being turned up-side-down, and sometimes I felt I was being turned inside-out. Yet in the end, I would come to know that nothing was being thrown away, it was actually being ignited to a deeper place.

The words of this book “Awakening” were part of that journey. Nearly every night I was awakened at 3 AM with words on my heart that were bursting out. I wrote those words on the back of the pages of my Sacajawea script. Eventually they formed the pages of this book, coupled with photos taken along the path.

I believe this book was written by a Spiritual Wind that had moved me to go to California, giving me an adventurous spirit to search out Truth. I discovered that I wasn’t there to make a movie, not yet, for there was a far greater purpose. One of the poems defined the essence of what I found to be true for me. It’s called “True Purpose” through which I realized we make everything so complicated in this world, we get confused and sidetracked, and we try to figure it all out based on things that are unreliable. We forget that the mysterious ways of the Universe are at work for us, and that we can trust our own heart to awaken.

The book is on Amazon or autographed copies can be purchased at http://www.spiritwind.shop in the “Nonprofits and Causes” collection! 100% net sales go to the Humanity Shines Organization and their Leaves on the Wind literary program.

Only love,

It’s for Us to See

From a young child growing up, the teachings of scripture touched me deeply. Many created visual pictures in my heart. Two of these pictures were especially important to the creation of Humanity Shines. For if we believe the teachings and claim their true understanding, then the entire world would be filled with love for each other – no judgment, no hypocrisy, and no fear.

The teachings are, “Creator is Spirit in us,” and “His eye is on the sparrow…” So, then, shouldn’t our eyes be on the “sparrow,” too? For if we believe in these teachings then we are called to help creation. Period. Yes, to help the one with the broken wing, or broken heart. The one who needs food. The one who is hurting, struggling, confused. To help heal the earth and all within it and without. And there is no judgment mentioned – not race, ethnicity, gender, religion, sexual orientation, handicap – no label constraints to hold us back.

If we all believed in the understanding that the Infinite Spiritual Energy of the Universe is IN US, and therefore our eyes CAN “see” with the greatest love there is – if we embrace it… then wouldn’t we just light up the earth?

We are the Light of the World.

“We all know there are young people who feel hopeless in the world and sometimes even small needs appear very, very big. We should want to be the answer to someone’s prayer, we should want to give relief to someone’s worry, we should want to ignite the flame of hope on someone’s path. Creator’s eye is on the sparrow… for us to see.” ~Spirit Wind
