Words Always Inspire!

Embrace the World with Love Words and the World will be Changed…

Once I understood these words, they began to bless my heart. I became aware of an intense purpose, that everything I write, every book, every screenplay, every poem should emanate these words.

First, and foremost, I began to know that Sacajawea’s story was really a story about love. That the Lewis and Clark Expedition was the backdrop for this very spiritual being who found herself on a journey with purpose. She carried her baby on her back and cared for him, she found wild vegetables when there was no meat because she cared for the men, she wore red vermillion on her face to tell other tribes they come in peace, to keep everyone alive. That is true love.

And as the screenplay goes, she had a great purpose given to her by her uncle, to reach the Great Water with her prayers. Not just prayers for her child and her people, but prayers for all people of the earth.

The experience of writing that story opened a place my heart for the Moon Drake Series. Every episode helps us see we must love one another, we must share our Indigenous wisdom together, and we must protect and care for the earth.

The Sacajawea experience also showed me how racism and anger will destroy the peace. And through that, the Kimama’s Wings screenplay came to life. An adopted 8-year-old African American girl is hurt by the words of her racist grandfather. But she decides to love him anyway and inspires his healing through the transformation of the butterfly.

And the book, Crabtree: Lost Kids of Borealonon, and subsequent movie, is a lesson in strength-of-character, faith, determination and the understanding that we should never allow someone else to write the chapters of our lives. And that we should always be true to ourselves.

It is our greatest joy to bring these stories and many more to the world through Humanity Shines Organization, a 501c3 nonprofit company and the KaLIGHToscope Art Camp. We intend to ignite those love words, with “love action” to help lift people worldwide, through storytelling.

The Spirit of Creator is Within Us

There’s a place in a meadow in Western Washington where creativity and imagination are alive. It is a beautiful peaceful property of five acres that we purchased in gratitude. We felt the spiritual energy and knew it had a powerful purpose. At the moment, it is only a vision – but a clear vision, a faith-driven idea based on belief… And the energy, the vibration, the dynamic mission is ignited and breathing.

What started over 26 years ago, as an enormous and seemingly impossible film project about Sacajawea, has evolved into something beyond our wildest dreams. Since this story is Native American, it is our deepest intent to support the Indigenous people of America, so we asked ourselves. “Could we produce this epic film partially through a non-profit? Could we provide an internship program to teach young filmmakers?”

And then the mystery began to unfold, actually it exploded, and our hearts were filled with the joy of a new purpose that aligned so perfectly with what spirit had given us and was showing us every day. We began to think outside the box…

Soon Humanity Shines Organization was formed, and other film projects became a part of the vision, even an anime series for children, and then we could see beyond to something even greater – a dynamic and very exciting program called KaLIGHToscope Art Camp where children and adults could learn to tell their stories through screenwriting, poetry, acting, painting, musical lyrics, and many more ways. https://kalightoscope.art/storytelling/

Though we don’t have all the answers for the “how,” we have the blueprint, the spiritual sight to see it and the faith and belief to know it is coming. We invite you to take a look at the Humanity Shines website, and all the programs and exciting things that are just ready to burst open. We invite you to be a part of this grand and glorious endeavor. If you are led to donate to the cause, your donations are greatly appreciated through the QR code or the red button at the top of this blog page.

We are the Light we seek… for we have the Spirit of Creator within us.

Only Love,

Sacajawea shares her powerful adventure!

The Grass Maiden, Sacajawea is part of Humanity Shines’ Leaves on the Wind literary program.

Hundreds of years ago, I ran and played games just like you. I swam in the calm rivers and danced and sang with my friends. I was warm in my tipi and slept on a thick bed of furs. I ate meat and wild vegetables, even though sometimes I was hungry. I was Agai’dika Shoshone, and I loved my world. But then one day the Great Spirit guided me to an incredible adventure…

This wonderful “Keepsake Storybook” has a message for YOU! Many of us have heard about Sacajawea but most do not know what she experienced and learned on her Journey of Discovery in 1805. In The Grass Maiden, Sacajawea, we see how this twelve-year-old girl was unshaken in her spirit. Her life was hard, and she had many heartaches and disappointments. She had to change with the circumstances, and she had to rely on the traditions and ceremony of her Shoshone people. She was not afraid to listen to her intuition and follow her heart. Sacajawea was a little girl from 1800 who became a woman to remember through the Ages.

“Delightful and necessary. I loved diving in Sacajawea’s childhood in this story aimed at revealing a few aspects of her life to young readers. I was particularly sensitive to the delicate way in which Jane L. Fitzpatrick managed to tell a difficult story with elegance. Her telling of Sacaj/gawea’s first life events shows a profound respect and love for this woman who made History and whom History remembers. May children of the world emulate this young Native woman’s strength while they enjoy a story of courage, beautifully told.”
