“I made the decision to never have another bad day in my life. I dove into a endless sea of gratitude from which I’ve never emerged.”–Patch Adams 
Somebody asked me about the waving cat on the cover of the new book. Maneki-neko, as the ubiquitous cat is known in Japan, is a lucky charm that waves in good fortune. I have one in the window above the rock that a Cook Islands medicine man gave me a few years ago, about the time E-Squared came out. He told me if I put it in the north corner of my living room, I would become a millionaire. Here’s the piece I wrote about this magical place.
Although the title of the new book is Thank and Grow Rich, it’s not really about financial capital. It’s about amassing five far more important kinds of capital: adventure capital, spiritual capital, alchemic capital, creative capital and social capital.
That being said, I got an email this morning from a woman in Montreal who told me she shared my book, E-Squared, with her hairdresser and “everybody else.”
Her hairdresser just called to thank her for the reading suggestion because, after 25 years of buying lottery tickets, she and her staff, after doing the Dude Abides experiment, won a million dollar lottery.
So you never know.
Here are a couple other fun stories that recently came my way:
“Since the story I sent you below, amazing miracles keep happening to me. I won a Staycation at the Epic Resort in Miami a few weeks after the concert tickets. Then at a conference, I won an American Express $100.00 gift card. This month of July has been great too. During the 4th of July weekend, I wrote in the sand on the beach, LOVE, HEALTH AND WEALTH and threw the shell I wrote with into the ocean proclaiming it! Two days later, I was walking out of the ocean after my swim and a $50.00 bill floated right in front of me! I was so happy! This week, I was in a work meeting and received a call out of the blue that I won Dave Matthews tickets for this Friday night. God is great!!! Now I am on the lookout for the millions just waiting for me to connect to its higher vibration!
(And here’s the story she sent me below)
“I just love you and all you are doing for positive changes to our world. I am so excited that I have to share this manifestation story. I have been on this thoughts become things for a few years and have been teaching my daughter Chloe the principals and practices of this amazing gift all of us have been blessed with. We have had some pretty amazing things happen to us since we have been focusing our thoughts, words and action on good things. Well this week Chloe and 4 friends won a Penthouse Studio VIP Party with pop star Austin Mahone and she found out that the radio station was also giving away concert tickets for another pop star this weekend. I told her since she is riding high on this happy gratitude energy vibration that she has a great chance to win those tickets. She started make-believing that she won those tickets since that is the fastest way to believing… and believing is the fastest way to receiving! WELL CHLOE JUST WON CONCERT TICKETS FOR ARIANA GRANDE concert in Ft Lauderdale for Sat night!!! This happened so amazingly fast since we just started make believing and praying a few days ago! Thank you so much oh gracious God! We certainly have been given the power and tools to change our energy field and live in the world of the wondrous where there is heaven on earth! Have a great weekend Pam, I know I will!”
Story #2:
“I have read your book E2 twice now and I have to say I’ve manifested some pretty incredible things – the first one being a Shark Dive in the Neptune Islands (SA, Australia) which I initially could not afford, but asked for as my unexpected gift from the FP. The second thing I focused on manifesting was a pay rise!! It materialized in 30 hours. Thank you FP!
I’ve done most of the experiments and they’ve blown my mind. Ecstatic to say I’m now plugged into the FP like my toaster is to the electric panel on my wall. Thank you, thank you, thank you for equipping me with these tools and for opening my eyes and mind.”
Here’s to all of us being equipped to open our eyes and minds.

I love this comment from a letter to Pam: “I’m now plugged into the FP like my toaster is to the electric panel on my wall.” What a great image to remember and consciously think about when I feel disconnected from source! Thanks! 🙂
Yep, it’s sorta like a toaster oven. We just gotta plug it in.
I love the idea of being plugged into the FP like the toaster to the electric panel!! Any concrete tips regarding how to do it? 🙂 Have an awesome day!
Thank you for posting my manifestation stories Pam! They are now out in the Universe and the millions are on its way to me!!! Can’t wait to share more amazing stories!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you! May God’s Love bless, prosper and heal the world!!! Love ya, Darlene
Back at ya, my friend!!!
Hi Pam,
I enjoy your posts and I enjoyed your book, but I have to provide a little constructive criticism on this one. Most people who play the lottery lose. Mr. Buffett himself has called the lottery a tax on ignorance. I think of it as a tax on despair. There are many people out there for whom gambling is an awful addiction, and this sort of encouragement is not helpful. People don’t write to you when the play the lottery and lose. In the parlance of risk analysis and probability, this data in the form of the letters you receive is affected by “selection bias”.
Matt Collins
Very true, Matthew!! And I often say that winning the lottery is a great way to limit the universe, to tie its “hands” behind its back. The universe is virtually unlimited and has a gazillion ways to bless us. So asking to win the lottery is a fool’s errand. I ask the universe–which is SO MUCH smarter and has SO MANY more resources than me–to handle the details and the fine print.
Pam I agree totally with the fools tax on ignorance for gambling. I have to admit however that due to my limited believability index, I used the lottery while doing my first experiment in E-squared and won $25.00, lol. I get what Matthew is saying but I understand what you are trying to teach us even more so!!! I am going to win the lottery again and again but I won’t spend more than I have trying. I just tell the universe what I want and take one small action daily. I’m convinced that we do not have to kill ourselves working hard to be wealthy and free! Your books have been a huge help to re-in forcing what my soul already knew was the truth but my limited experiences and socioeconomic programming had me believing!!! Thank you for all of the beautiful contributions you have made to growth and expansion of our species. You are a true example of how powerful, creative and beautiful the mind of man truly is.
Blessings to you and your readers Pam
What a wonderful world of abundance we live in, love the stories 💜💜💜
I’m almost done with your with your new book ” Thank and Grow Rich” and I’m loving it. Thanks for sharing your gift with the Universe 😘😘😘
Thank you for sharing yours!!!
Hi Pam I noticed on amazon that some people have pre-ordered the book and they are getting it early! Does that apply for the Kindle as well?
Thank you!

Not sure! I don’t handle distribution. But it’s worth a try. I believe there are three free gifts for those who buy before August 30. Here’s a link: http://www.go.hayhouse.com/thankandgrowrich
I am in India and I couldn’t find it on Amazon. Please help, Pam!!
Oh wait! let me ask FP and get it. I’ll keep you posted. 🙂
Love and Light
I have done some of the esquared experiments, the first one worked after the 48 hour period, but the others, nothing happened. I would be interested in hearing from others who have not had the fab results and are feeling frustrated.
I have gotten some results but not like everyone else and felt frustrated but what I realized, I got what I believed could be possible and everything else I want and haven’t received is because I’m not truly believing or having the faith in myself and my dreams. I think I need to take a step to start believing in myself and my dreams for the FP to meet me half way. I wonder if others are having self doubts in themselves and dreams and noticing how it affects their reality?
It is a very simple rule of the Universe but very difficult to do in this time in our society. You have to believe that it has already happened even though your five senses tell you otherwise. You have to look through this dimension to the next where it all good dreams and desires reside. Keep connecting with love that is the key to it all.

I was picturing and excited and thankful for $2800 I was going to receive somehow. A day or 2 later, found out my job is shutting down operations in California and my last day is 09/30…BUT…am getting a severance pay of $3700. Yipppeeee. I’ll have no prob getting another job, so not worried about that.
