About me, Lucille DancingWind… 

 

Since my 2010-present of published writings, including my e-newsletters (see e-News Archive), books/reviews, etc., all reveal so much, I’m sharing here, a unique “glimpse” journey of photos with short writings and relevant quotes “about me”. ✨💚✨ (*For privacy purposes, all photos are of me, my husband Michael and Nature only, mostly taken by both of us—whether signed or not, all are copyrighted to me.)

 

“Life shrinks or expands
in proportion to one’s courage.”
~ Anaïs Nin

 

 

My life of half a century (2023), has been a truly incredible journey, due to my choosing to live it, from childhood, with immense courage, love, appreciation, and what many call “radical” trust and faith, in *Light* (the Divine, and divinity of life: Nature, Spirit and Humanity—especially my own); even during my most intensely challenging and testing experiences, of extreme adversity from Darkness in so many forms, throughout these past five decades. I’ve learned and gained so much from direct and vast personal experience, enabling me to deeply inspire and empower people worldwide—by example and through genuine, profound sharing (way beyond my comfort zone!).

 

“We can only be
what we give ourselves
the power to be.”
~ Native American Proverb

 

I’ve experienced innumerable Divine miracles “against all odds” and so awe-mazing Sacred Possibilities, that have defied “impossible” circumstances and logical “limitations” of all sorts, revealing boundless sacred Truths—and increasingly this past decade+, when I chose to take a radical leap of faith (leaving the security of a status quo and envied “dream life”, to pursue my higher “calling” into a complete unknown in 2011!)!… The Divine generously rewards courage! I’ve been immeasurably blessed in countless forms, through all situations of life.

 

 

My life began in southern Manitoba, Canada, in a rural farming, French and very religious, family and community. (I’m less than 2yrs old in the photo above. 😀 ) I never felt like I fit in, in this world of Mother Earth, except in Nature—such a priceless Divine Gift to me, for all levels of my being (spiritual, physical, mental, emotional, energy…), throughout my life! Sacred Nature (everywhere I’ve lived and travelled) is where I’ve always… felt most at home, fully free to be me, experiencing blissful, miraculous and magickal “Heaven on Earth”, and the Divine’s sacred Love Essence and Presence everywhere… receiving divine revelation, guidance, healing and more!

 

“I love to think of nature as
an unlimited broadcasting station,
through which God speaks
to us every hour,
if we will only tune in.”
~ George Washington Carver

 

Nature’s divine splendour has always evoked a deep reverence within me—from my favourite intense thunderstorms and awe-inspiring land/sea/sky scapes, to the tiniest forms of miraculous life and other sacred creations you must be present to see (such as in my partial photos below—the closeups show beings smaller than a dime!… a Skipper butterfly on Goldenrod blossoms; a Spider with intricate web; a Bumblebee on Manzanita blooms; and a Mushroom on Mosses)… 

 

 

I received my first (film) camera, from my parents as a pre-teen girl—a gift that enabled me to capture Nature’s beauty, quicker than the art and words I used to convey what I saw. In 2003, I received a Pentax SLR (film) camera gift from my first husband, to capture the amazing evolution of our completely transformed urban backyard, from a lawn into a MB native prairie habitat. I photographed all the plants and diverse wildlife attracted to them, for five whole years, which became an important part of my first published book Mending Mother Earth With Native Plants.

 

“Make visible what,
without you,
might never have been seen.”
~ Robert Bresson

 

In 2009, I bought a Panasonic digital camera (with me in the photos below), which I’ve used to this day(!), joy-fully taking countless photographs with it, everywhere I’ve lived and travelled, to share Nature’s so divine beauty as I experience it—especially in my e-newsletters. I continue to receive such heartfelt appreciation messages from deeply touched people, for sharing my uniquely personal perspective of Nature—I’ve always simply captured moments of what I perceive through the lens of my ever-sense-of-wonderment with infinite love and appreciation, for the Divine and this sacred Gift of Nature. It’s become a significantly special part of my purposeful life and work, not just in images but shared with the spiritual messages they convey, to inspire and empower!

 

 

I’ve enjoyed travelling to powerful places and sacred landscapes, of Nature, that I’ve been guided or “called” to personally experience, by divine Spirit and Nature, for three decades—on my own, then together with Michael beginning in 2014. In sacred co-creation with the Divine and divinity of life, these have always been sacred journeys of so much more than they initially seem to be! Below are photos of me… within the spiritual portal of Stonehenge (England, 2009); respectfully swimming with wild Dolphins over Atlantis ruins in the “Bermuda Triangle” (near Bimini Island, 2008); within the potent vortex area of Sedona, Arizona, USA (2021)—to share just a few.    

 

 

I’ve been a fearless advocate for and defender of the Sacred (the divinity of Spirit, Nature and Humanity—especially the innocent and “voiceless” ones), all my life. Aside from many human-related causes, this has also included being an aware steward of Nature since my mid-teens—in the form of monetary donations and volunteer work for various non-profit organizations that align with my values; as well as through habitat creation (see photos HERE), and various rescues.

 

“Just as one candle lights another
and can light thousands of other candles,
so one heart illuminates another heart
and can illuminate thousands of other hearts.”
~ Leo Tolstoy

 

Below are photos of… a magnificent Red-Tailed Hawk appreciating my birdbath’s fresh water on a hot summer day (MB, 2012); me assisting the vet (both Bird TLC volunteers) with an injured Northern Hawk Owl—who was later released back to Nature (AK, 2017); a Dragonfly resting on my hand a while—a special moment of trust, in a wild meadow (AK, 2015); an example of so many butterfly species who were born in my urban native prairie gardens—I witnessed 40+ Monarchs like this one, in just one summer! (MB, 2004); various baby animal rescues during the dry season, with Michael (CA, 2019-2022); gloriously-golden sand (hidden) beach—a surprise reward!, for filling an elderly homeless woman’s pail with requested “sea water” (urban CA, 2022). 😀

 

 

I’ve always felt a so special connection with the very old and giant Trees in this world—of divine awareness and wisdom! Each beautiful individual I’ve met and spent time with, offers sacred Gifts. As seen in photos below, with Michael, I’ve met giant Black Cottonwoods in Alaska; ancient Great Basin Bristlecone Pines in California (5,000+yrs old!), and truly giant and ancient Coast Redwoods and Giant Sequoias in California (2,500+yrs old!). California is so abundant with giants and elders, and of many other tree species (including Oaks, Firs, Pines, Eucalyptus, Cedars, etc.)—whom we’ve also met in love and appreciation.  

 

 

My life’s unique path suddenly converged with Michael’s, in a most unexpected way, when we least expected it, under circumstances that anyone would have thought this was least likely to manifest—as only the Divine can orchestrate, in sacred co-creation! 😀 Our incredible (surprise!) sacred story, is shared in my “Sacred Possibilities” books, and many of our most amazingly miraculous “against all odds” experiences and so magickal journeys together, have also been shared in my e-newsletters throughout the years. 

 

“You have to take risks.
We will only understand
the miracle of life fully
when we allow the unexpected
to happen.”
~ Paulo Coelho

 

Below are photos of Michael and I, in front of a Giant Sequoia named “Mariposa” (Spanish for “Butterfly”—very special to us!), during our magickal in-person “first date”—two truly divine weeks together in California’s Yosemite National Park (a birthday gift from him, March 2014); a photo of us walking down Rainbow Trail in Alaska’s glorious Nature on our special wedding day (September 2014)—giant Black Cottonwoods adorned our path, with their heart-shaped, golden-yellow leaves!* Below those photos are the so awe-inspiring views, of these special Nature places that held sacred space for us, during those significant, life-changing events; and a moment captured of me before the ceremony, beaming infinite love, appreciation and joy, to the Divine and divinity of Spirit, Nature and Humanity (including ours), that brought us together. 💛

 

 

“Love and desire
are the spirit’s wings
to great deeds.”
~ Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

 

After living together in beautiful Alaska for 4.5 years, we received a divine abundance flow of truly amazing gifts, providing everything we needed to move to Michael’s home state of California, in October 2018—a leap of faith together! This is where the Divine needs our presence in this world, and we feel infinitely blessed every day, to call this glorious Nature state home. Our divinely guided adventures together continue 😀 (as my e-newsletters attest to)! Below are photos of Michael and I, taken during our latest wedding-anniversary celebrating sacred journeys, to landscapes of magnificent Nature, in California and bordering Arizona-Utah.    

 

 

While we’re all so much more than “labels”, they help people relate to us, so I’m sharing common ones I’ve received from soul family, friends, peers, clients, mentors, and even people I’ve only met briefly (Michael has been called many of these also): “Spiritual Teacher/Mentor”, “Shining One/Spirit”, “Healer”, “Earth Angel”, “Lightworker”, “Master Manifester”, “Powerful Catalyst”, “Free Spirit”, “Spiritual Warrior”, “Mystic”, “Nature Faery”, “Magical Being”, “Visionary”.

 

“And forget not
that the earth delights
to feel your bare feet
and the winds long
to play with your hair.”
~ Khalil Gibran

 

The photos of me below, are just a few examples of what Michael and I became increasingly aware of, especially since we moved to California!… I obviously receive higher guidance with what I choose to wear, before we leave for our day to experience a divinely-inspired/guided new place in Nature, whether near our home or during longer travels—for without knowing in advance what Nature in that location will look like… I usually match it so perfectly, it’s truly amazing (as seen in other photos on this page also)—and hilarious too (it makes us laugh every time)! 😀 

 

 

I’m also honouring through photos… (though I have many) my most special and eminent… personal communication sign, the Rainbow, and loyal Nature ally, Raven—assigned to me and Michael by the Divine! (From Spirit, it’s always been the Divine and Archangel Michael.) The Rainbow and Raven used to be personal to me, especially during my tests of faith—but then also extended to Michael, beginning during our time together in California, 2014! Both have had a highly spiritual awareness and presence, for us in the physical world since then!

 

“All I have seen
teaches me to trust the Creator
for all I have not seen.”
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

 

We’ve had so many personal experiences, with the Divine’s profoundly special and remarkable Rainbows, directly interacting in response to us!; and Raven always showing up physically in divine timing, to guide us in some way when we’ve required that support (whether in Nature or urban areas)! They both always appear with such pure Love from the Divine… We feel so very blessed by these sacred Gifts, combining the physical and spiritual aspects of our everyday life! The photos below, show very special Rainbows we experienced in Alaska, California and Arizona—Raven’s very special presence began in Manitoba for me, then in AK, CA, AZ and UT with Michael.

 

 

I‘ve always been highly creative/artistic, using any art form to express my soul—including chalk, oil and acrylic painting; drawing; writing; poetry; crafts; beading; jewellery; landscape and interior designs; creating and beautifying furniture; sewing and beautifying clothing; sculpting with various materials; photography; creating sacred tools/art; and anything I’m inspired to create! In 2011, I also transformed an entire 2-story house’s interior (a Divinely orchestrated miracle home I received, that enabled me to take my radical leap of faith!)—view photos HERE.

 

“It’s not what you look at that matters,
it’s what you see.”
~ Henry David Thoreau

 

The works of art that I enjoy the most, are 3D that I co-create from Divine inspiration with Spirit and Nature (I include my e-newsletters and videos in this!). You can see a “collage” of examples of my various works of art below—beginning when I was 5 years old and loved to paint Rainbows every day in kindergarten (so I became very creative with them! 😀 ), and evolving through the years with various 2D/3D art forms, and also created my “artist signature”.

 

  

“With Beauty before me,
may I walk.
With Beauty behind me,
may I walk.
With Beauty above me,
may I walk.
With Beauty below me,
may I walk.
With Beauty within me,
may I walk.*
With Beauty all around me,
may I walk.
It is finished in Beauty.
It is finished in Beauty.”
~ Navajo Chant Prayer

(*Added by me – I view this Beauty in the sense of all-encompassing Beauty, seen and unseen, that is aligned with the Divine’s pure Love *Light*, to awe-inspire, empower, bless, support in perfect ways, etc.!)

 

 

* I redid our best wedding photos like this one included, using my own photographs which I took of Nature’s glory, just before and after our wedding day – to accurately share the amazing golden splendour that we experienced that day. The wedding photographer didn’t appreciate Nature as we do, so her focus was solely on us, and it amazed us to see how our differing perspectives resulted in very different “realities” of focus! I hardly noticed anything else that day except for Michael and the awe-inspiring beauty of Nature that surrounded us! 😀 This photo of us honours our very special day! In 2024, we’ve already been married and enjoying life’s adventures together, for a decade! 💛
