What is “Sacred Spaces Sunday”? What are “Sacred Spaces”? How might you benefit from creating a Sacred Space?
As the tree trunk has rotted from an ancient oak stump, the wisdom of St. Francis prevails as a statue in the center as he looks out at the labyrinth at Mercy Center in Burlingame.
For me, Sacred Spaces are places of beauty designed by the Creator. They are a place or object that evokes a sense of spirit, spirituality or sacredness. They can be an environment designed as a retreat or an area where spirit can communicate with me, guiding me along my journey.
It might be an altar. It could be a special place in or around a home – or even a commercial building, school or hospital – creating a sense of peace in a too-busy world, especially when life “isn’t right” in your world.
It could be a religious building, but it doesn’t have to be. It might be a space of symbolism, like the pyramids, Stonehenge or labyrinths. Or it might be a garden with a statue in it, an item in the garden from a spiritual experience you have had in the past or a plaque with inspirational words.
Plaque located by the statue of Buddha at Mercy Center – a Catholic Retreat in Burlingame stating a “may the Whole World Come Together in Peace and Harmony.”
On “Sacred Spaces Sunday” I’m going to share pictures with a little note of places that nurture this sense of sacredness – some for me, some for others. I hope it stimulates the same response within you or gives you ideas about places that nurture your soul. Sometimes we are able to create them within our own environments. Other times we need to seek them out.
In our society we often get so busy we forget our connectedness to the Source of our creation. The day-to-day activities engulf us, draining our energy. We sometimes feel “out of kilter,” “spaced out” or “off balance.” Taking a few moments in meditation can help us realign.
If we can physically take ourselves “out of the box” in which we have been placed – our homes or the office – and put ourselves in a different, natural, higher vibration, it changes our energetic vibration. When we are able to enhance the space through our conscious intention to make it more spiritual or sacred, the environment will actually shift our lack of focus toward that which is more sacred and in alignment with our Higher Purpose.
Labyrinth at Mercy Center
A few days ago I was fortunate to walk a labyrinth. It reminded me of the intricate design of our lives. Our lives often twist and turn. Sometimes we don’t know if we are coming or going. The four quadrants of our brain also are represented in the labyrinth. We get to view our lives from all directions in a way that is complex and elaborate.
Finally in walking the labyrinth, we come to the center where we can rest and gather our thoughts. We can look around at the path – the journey we have taken so far – and observe the challenges we have worked through and the dreams we have yet to see as part of our future.
Leaving the labyrinth, we know the journey again will take twists and turns as it has done all along. Yet the view is different since we have “centered” ourselves in the center of this “Sacred Space.”
This same quality can be created with an intention as you design Sacred Spaces around your home and work environments; as you travel in your daily round and observe the qualities you need to feel nurtured; as you sense the beauty in the sights, sounds, smells, tastes and even touch you, whether physically, mentally, emotionally or spiritually; as you find sacredness all around you.
May “Sacred Spaces Sunday” be a tool to engage your body, mind and spirit in expansion to what is Real in this world and what REALLY matters.
Blessings,
Linda Lenore

“A Beautiful Center of Light!” That’s who we are as humans! That’s my corporation’s name. There’s a story behind it. There’s deep meaning within it. I strive to create environments embodying “light” qualities and are a “center” of love.
It started as an idea, then a name, followed by a business perspective that grew into a publishing company and now a spiritual group. It turns heads and makes people smile when they see it on their credit card statements. The tellers at the bank ask what I do. I’m often asked how the name originated. They smile and remember me. I’m known as the “Center of Light Lady” with the Disney checks.
A center of sun lights up the evening sky in the vineyards of Healdsburg.
It’s fascinating to me how the process evolved. Someone mentioned how our names have meaning and started to explore the meaning of my name. In many cultures the name “Linda” means “pretty” or “beautiful.” The name “Lenore” stems from Eleanor with a variant of Helen. It’s Greek origin means “sun ray or shining light.” (I loved Mythology – both Roman and Greek – in grade school.)
I wondered how I might bring the “meaning” of my name into my business. After all, a business is an extension of who we are at our core or center. The Biblical references around “light” seemed to jump out at me when I read them. Hearing we are “light” beings, stirred something inside me.
When I worked at a floral shop in 1985, I learned it’s better to have a company name with an “A” at the beginning in order to be first in the alphabetical listing of the Yellow Pages. These days Yellow Pages are rarely used, yet in 1993 when I formed the business, it was a valid tool.
I love acronyms. I play with them whenever I develop a speech. I thought “What about ABC Light”? The “B” would be “Beautiful.” For what would the “C” stand? “Center” came to mind. Ultimately it was “A Beautiful Center of Light.”

We are a “center of light” shining brightly for all to see. Our spirit is a light emanating from the Temple that is our body. Our homes are a Haven for our body Temple. Honoring our body, mind, spirit and environment, it all seemed to fit – A Beautiful Center of Light was birthed!
“For Roman women, the most beloved goddess was Vesta,” Sarah Ban Breathnach shares in her best-selling book, Simple Abundance. “Vesta urges women to be quiet, to sit, to gaze, to listen, to prepare delicious meals, to bring beauty into our daily round, to live through our six senses, to create a sacred haven of security and serenity set apart from the world in order to protect all we cherish…. (She) calls on us to focus our creative energies on the Real.”
A Sacred Circle of Women gather to share, build community and renew themselves as the energy of the goddess Vesta brings focus to the Real in our lives.
The evening of May 21, 2013 in Palo Alto, “ABC LIGHT” will inaugurate as a women’s spiritual networking group – a community of like-minded women – embodying many of the qualities of the goddess Vesta. It will be a place to be quiet, to sit, to gaze… to create a sacred haven of security and serenity set apart from the world in order to protect all we cherish… to focus our creative energies on the Real.
ABC LIGHT has evolved into Always Be Centered in Love, Intuition, Gratitude, Health and Truth.
Please join us for an evening meeting from 6:30 pm to 9 pm.
Location: Unity – Palo Alto Church, 3391 Middlefield Road, Palo Alto, 94306. (650) 494-7222.
Cost: $20 (cash or check) at the door.
Future meetings will be on the second Tuesday of each month (June 11, July 9, etc.)
May you Always Be Centered in LIGHT!
Blessings,
Linda Lenore
