I know this can seem like just a silly post but, as always, there’s more to it than might appear at first glance.
When I’ve felt most challenged, I found when I looked for anything (and I do mean anything), that brought the slightest tinge of joy and laughter, it was as though I could feel a little part of me healing. I started looking for television shows that made me laugh or gave me the slightest chuckle, and payed close attention to anything that that sparked the teeniest bit of joy. Each and every time I laughed, I felt a little bit of healing taking place. I was in the flames and this was the only thing that seemed to help so I became determined to look for these opportunities wherever I could. The healing didn’t come in an instant like it has at other times in my experience, but I could feel it happening.
It was actually while doing this very thing that I created Princess Sassy Pants & Co. The idea came and started to play with it. It made me giggle and sometimes laugh out loud, so I did it all day, every day. I didn’t have one idea what might come of it, if anything, and this really wasn’t even the focus. Soon different people started coming into my experience who made suggestions about creating a facebook page and how to do that, as well as other ideas. As soon as I started sharing her, I could see that the thing that was helping me to heal, was also speaking to others’ hearts and she took off in a way I had never planned.
So a little image about cute boots amidst life’s challenges might appear to some as silly or trite, but to me, silly and light-hearted ideas played a major part in my healing of one of the most challenging periods of my life. It was a time that I can only describe as one where I would have never thought someone could walk through what I walked through and live to tell about it. It was certainly difficult, and I had to walk through it, so why not wear cute boots? Wink.
Never forget to laugh.
While saddened you had to walk through a horrible experience, happy you did it in cute boots. Even more elated that Princess Sassy Pants was given birth. Your posts are adorable, encouraging, a nd thought provoking. Keep those cute boots walking!

I continue to love and enjoy the fruits of your labor. The only thing that concerns me is that you go out of your way to not mention God. I understand that as a author who is trying to appeal to all audiences you don’t want to make your blog all about religion. But you have an awesome audience that truly loves the Lord that the fear of losing your audience should be the of your concern. Scripture tells us if we are ashamed to speak about our God then Jesus will be ashamed to speak our name to the Father.

Please don’t be “concerned” for me. You are assuming a lot and projecting because I never said anything about being ashamed about anything or about avoiding anything, including using the word God. Nor am I trying to appeal to any particular audience. What I can see is that your god and the God I’ve come to know, are very different because I feel only love from the God I’ve experienced–certainly not a god that would be or is ashamed of me.
Since particular words (letter strung together in a agreed upon fashion) are so important to your god, I’m certain you study the original scriptures in the original language (words) and not a translation–and certainly not a translation (or modern interpretation) or a version put together by King James who gathered a group of scholars together to decide what should go into his version of the bible and then destroyed the rest. There was no agenda there I’m sure.
I have no fear of losing an audience. My only concern is to follow the guidance I receive within, something I will continue to do whether there’s an audience or not. I trust the “word of God” that is written on my heart .

Agree 💯 with you, “the Princess”. The Lord doesn’t judge and neither should we want that responsibility. Just because you don’t physically mention His name doesn’t mean you don’t believe. You inspire many. No judgment. You just are.

Boy, did I need to read this today. I hope you continue to inspire. I also look for laughter in my saddest situations. Today I am in a heavy place and lost sight of that, but your post reminded me to love myself and try to heal through laughter and yes, maybe with cute boots. Sharing is a bravery that helps others. Thank you for your bravery.

Awww! I actually used to tell Prince Pup (Baby/Boo) to take off his sassy pants–he was sassy–and that’s where the idea came for the character. BTW, my “therapy” bill is on its way. Wink.
