I started PSP&Co. in 2013 during a period that I can only describe as so dark that I would have never thought someone could walk through it and live to tell about it. I’ve had a lot of deep challenges in my life, but this one was unlike anything I thought possible.
Leading up to this, I completely lost interest in painting, and being a professional fine artist, this was a little problematic. I didn’t want to ever paint again. I also taught spiritual principles, did some speaking, and wrote volumes from a deeper, more high-minded, and oh-so-serious place.
One day I started doodling, looking for anything to focus on other than the pain I felt. Two little characters popped out, fashioned after my little dog and me. I added some words to the image and posted it on Facebook just for the hell of it. I felt just a tiny bit of warmth within, so I did another one.
Creating these little images made me smile a little bit, and since nothing made me smile, I kept doing it. Others seemed to be drawn to them. Doing this was the ONLY thing that felt like the tiniest light in that dark cave, so I kept going.
Fast forward, and she now has well over a million social media followers and two sold-out books (I don’t sell anything at this time). I get many messages about how they bring a little smile to hurting hearts.
I just followed the moment-to-moment inner prompts. I followed the feelings of joy, however faint. Believe me, before this, if anyone had told me that I would paint little sparkly images and write about spiritual principles using words like tutus and fairy dust, I would have laughed so hard that my tiara would have flown off!
These moment-to-moment prompts lead us down paths we could have never imagined. Every time I have been led in a new direction, it is ALWAYS something I had never imagined. What I can imagine is necessarily from the past.
We CAN learn from the past; the most important lesson is that it has passed and isn’t now.

This is so true in life ….we can’t change the past so we must learn to let it go and look to the future and what’s ahead if we want to do better

Back in 2004, I did the same to escape the pain of living in an abusive marriage. Since then, I published 28 books, went on tours, spoke to so many. My books are still in print. My marriage dissolved in 2006, when he told me I had to choose between my writing…and him. That “choice” gave me herculean strength to finally see him for the monster that he was. I found someone new in 2009 who treated ME as his Princess and even called me that and went so far as to have it tattooed on his chest. Life can be beautiful, w just need to hang on tight!
