Jan St. Anne

Very early in life, Jan had an insatiable desire to understand the nature of God and the Human Spirit expressing her thoughts in poetry and prose. Experiencing three severe traumas and living with Agoraphobia for twelve years Jan sought counsel and advice from many pastors, priests and other religious persons who gave her, just as many, rules, dogmas and directions. No longer trying to make sense of what others were saying she walked away from organized groups and began studying early writings, and the formation of early religions. she began to live one-day-at-a-time attempting to be the best person she could be each day, taking steps to appreciate herself and show that same appreciation to others. Taking responsibility for her own life, faith in God became foremost in her mind and a sense of Being or Oneness became apparent. She has been an artist, family counselor for addiction, Realtor, entrepreneur, owner of two business, manufacturer and now works her own 300 acre ranch alone, and grows her own food. Her desire is not to become rich or famous, but to hold each experience as precious and a gift from God. Mother of two, grandmother of six and great grandmother of five she lives a healthy and peaceful life devoting her time and thoughts to natural health, spiritual growth and help for her friends and neighbors whenever called upon. The story of PG is actually her story. The humor and antics of the animals is her way of illustrating what she was as the hurdles to her own spiritual understanding, and the enlightenment of who she is in God's eyes. Her hope is that children of all ages might see their own individuality and expression of the GREAT I AM through reading this small story.

This book is dedicated to my Mother, Mary Belle

Steinhaus Johnson, who taught me to be myself.

On the edge of a dense forest lived a plain grey squirrel. His name was given to him by his mother, who loved him very much, but couldn’t think of a name to fit him as he was just a typical plain grey squirrel. So, she called hi m PG.

PG was one of three babies born to Mama Squirrel early one spring. She taught her babies all the things a squirrel should know about living in the forest. She taught them to search for seeds among the many grasses and bring them to their nest near a deep hole in the trunk of a Sycamore tree. The nest was high in the branches and consisted of pieces of moss, dry grass and tiny sticks woven together in a lose fashion but strong enough to handle the tossing and jumping of squirrel babies.

She taught them to climb high in the branches and jump to the neighboring trees, catching themselves by all four feet and hanging upside down until they could right themselves and move on. Most of all, the squirrel children just played with one another, chasing up and down and over and under and around the many playthings Mother Nature had placed in the forest just for them. There were big rocks and small rocks and bushes and trees so tall it took PG many leaps to get to the top. There were small
