Princess Sassy Pants & Co.™

We are all always being guided. Our guide is always present, but it can take practice to learn how to recognize it AND trust it. (Call this guide whatever feels right to you.)

Guidance comes in different ways for me. Sometimes, I feel something similar to butterflies in my chest and stomach. Other times, it feels like warm water rushes through me; sometimes, it’s a clear inner knowing. There are also less frequent times when I hear an inner voice accompanied by a deep sense of peace and certainty.

Years ago, my focus was on wanting to know what to DO, but now, I just want to feel its presence with me. I know that experiencing its presence is all that matters; if there’s anything to do, it naturally follows.

I began to notice years ago that I was guided in two different ways–through pain or joy. If I couldn’t hear directly, didn’t listen, or before I knew how to listen, I was squeezed in the direction I needed to go. This was often painful. When I began to willingly listen, the feeling was often a mixture of joy, excitement, and a little fear. It’s similar to waiting in line for a carnival ride: I am excited but also a little afraid.

The key is learning to trust it so that you WANT to listen even when it doesn’t seem to make sense and you haven’t a clue where it’s leading you. This takes practice and many experiences to learn we CAN trust it.

I’ve had too many astounding experiences to count by listening to this guidance. It’s the way PSP&Co. started, too; I was experiencing a very dark period, and nothing, and I do mean nothing, felt joyful. One day, I started doodling and created the Princess and the Pup. It was the ONLY thing that had felt even the tiniest bit joyful, so I kept doing it (sometimes 18 hours a day). Now, she has over a million followers on her social platforms.

I didn’t set out to do any of it; I just listened and followed what made my heart twinkle.
