Gaia’s guided me all my life and I’ve given my life to Her - I feel it’s only fair! She gave it to me…
==My mother and father named me Shannon Kathleen McArthur==
Broken by a career pushing paper in City Hall and prescribed depression, I was lifted up by a year of sweat lodge and 3 years across the street from my Mom. Then I got on a plane for Paris and Rotterdam to join United Earth, activists working to change the world. A dream come true, it changed my life for good. A year later I came home to buy a van because I couldn’t imagine settling back into the old normal. I had to “be part of the change I wanted to see in the world”. It’s still true.
The Magic in Ordinary Moments (MOM) named me Sunshine Sparkling on the Waters; later renamed me '''SonLight Sparkling on the Waters'''.
Our Planet, Gaia is alive! She gave me a promise of Peace and a Plan for the transformation of Human society. My purpose is to bring Gaia consciousness to people’s lives to help Her be heard in their hearts. She speaks to each of us individually! Her gifts mystify, uphold and inspire me – I write about them, speak about them, am moved by them. I want to move You, too, and inspire you to listen inside your heart to hear Her, and feel Her love.

*'''https://www.interiortruth.com/shannon-mcarthur'''. (It's longer than his usual films.) Mother Earth's promise of peace, and her plan, are part of it. There may be tweaks, and maybe a sequel, but the important parts are there. I'm grateful I can share the film with you.
