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, this one, was unlike anything I thought possible. It was a spiritual tsunami that left every aspect of my life in a big pile of tiny shards with no hope of being glued back together. “So what now?” was the only question left to ask.
One day I started doodling, looking for anything to focus on other than the pain I felt. I created two little characters fashioned after my little dog and me, added a few words to the image, and posted it on Facebook for the hell of it. I felt just the slightest bit of warmth within, so I did another one.
Creating these little images made me smile just a little, and since nothing made me smile, I kept doing it. I was quickly led to start a Facebook page that others seemed to be drawn to. Working on PSP&Co. was the only thing that felt like the tiniest light in that dark cave, so I kept creating images and posting them.
I just followed the moment-to-moment inner prompts, 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 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 down a new path, it is always something I had never imagined. What I can imagine is necessarily from the past; otherwise, I wouldn’t already know it.
I notice that if I feel depressed, anxious, or afraid, I am focusing on either the past or the future. Peace is always found in this moment.
We can learn from the past; the most important lesson is that it has passed and isn’t now.

Thank you so much Jane…
It sounds simple when you put it this way. But I have a question. How can we be certain that we aren’t ignoring or trying to sweep a recurring problem under the rug by trying to do something else, only to have to deal with it again down the road, like same stuff, different day. I read a lot of spiritual books and insights to feel this out…which I am grateful for but I am wondering if you would please explain the difference…if you wouldn’t mind.
Thank you 🙂

My dear Princess, there aren’t words to thank you for saying what I find difficult to put in words. Your words are placed on my FB site in “quotation marks”. You are an inspiration to so many of us who are in need of what you supply. God bless you always with His peace. ❤️
