This book is a call to action for women everywhere, for it begins and ends with love. The essence of the book urges the heart of each woman to awaken and rise up, to heal any breakage within, and to commit to a flow of empathy as an opening impulse for a mighty voice of change. Indeed, it was Diana’s greatest desire that through her example each woman of the world would find their own authentic voice, fulfilling their unique purpose, and liberating love to transcend any enmity. Diana believed that wherever tyranny was it would be freed by grace, that wherever cruelty existed it would be freed by bravery, and that wherever the voice of oppression occurred it would be freed by the voice of kindness. In this, Diana was a trailblazer!
Diana’s singular starry light illuminates the conviction of women everywhere right now, and as conviction is a force multiplier, women today are mustering their own conviction in order to claim sovereignty, liberating themselves from the specter of masculine supremacy, evoking gender equality, evolving emotional transparency, and fostering integrity in a multitude of ways. Women of many countries are inspiring initiatives that arose from Diana’s aspirations, and by so doing they lead us all to contemplate each other with compassion, creating unity consciousness, and espousing that all men and women be created equal for life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

In this Diana was a figurehead, and so her incredible story is now fit for retelling, yet through a different lens from before. For Diana’s voice embodied the zeitgeist of the 1980-90’s which led to powerful reforms within the Monarchy, and gave rise to a redefinition of personal sovereignty, particularly for women. Within the wake of Diana’s universal and inspirational appeal her contribution rests as bedrock for the growing movements of #METOOCAMPAIGN, #TIMESUP, #WHYDIDN’TIREPORT, and #TRANSLIVESMATTER, as well inspiring the many charities she supported.
Echoing this Diana’s two sons broadcast her legacy through their own extraordinary work via mindful living processes, and of course their various charities. For example, Harry founded the Sentabale in order to support the wellbeing of young people affected by the HIV Virus living in Lesotho and Botswana. Harry brought about constitutional revolution by marrying a Black American actress divorcee, and has pioneered programs concerned with mindfulness, particularly through the ‘HEADS TOGETHER’ campaign with Oprah Wonfrey. Whilst, brother William tends to his young family and initiates cultural amelioration through his own charity work concerning Wild Life Conservation and Cyber Bullying.
All this occurs because Diana led the way. Diana brought credence to a new form of authenticity, inclusivity, and transparency. Diana embodied a crucible of human virtues from which poured forth – joy, freedom, truth, empathy, compassion, inclusivity, forgiveness, charity, and love. These virtues she illuminated as a reminder for us all, that these feeling states bring us back to harmony, giving us strength to wring purpose from change. Thereby Diana’s heartfelt virtues exist like lifebuoys in any troubled ocean, as they give us hope and strength to endure, knowing that we will always be loved by the people who care, by the Universe which gives us life, and by the Divine intelligence that gathers in the creation of each sentient being.
“A woman will be trapped in emotional bondage, so long as she worries that she has to make a choice between being heard and being loved!”
STEWART PEARCE
Diana gave permission for the formal behavior that stultifies love, to be reinvented, for emotional aloofness to be made transparent, for starched stuffiness to be given a human face, for feeling expression to be given its rightful place, and for dismissive criticism to be turned into discerning care. Indeed, viewing Diana’s life through the lens of the last twenty-two years, we can see what a truly extraordinary story hers was, and how her memory lives on in people’s hearts, still bringing joy and tenderness to all our lives today. Each climax and nadir of her extraordinary story appears to have been crafted by the sage-writer of an ancient Greek drama, and within this writing we will explore the full significance of this extraordinary person and her personal odyssey – the sojourn of the heroine’s quest – was wrought with archetypal significance!
