“Your smarts, your talents, your good looks – take off these impediments and let us dance!” — Chelan Harkin
Tomorrow, in my playshop with Mike Dooley, I’m going to share “techniques” for widening one’s miracle bandwidth.
The term “technique” sounds rather didactic and I’ve never really felt like a “teacher” in any real definition of the word. If anything I’m just a regular Jane willing to experiment with my own life in public.
And I’ve learned from lots of personal experience that always, always, always the best technique for accomplishing anything is to manage my fear. To do whatever it takes to calm the nutty voice in my own head that constantly tells me that stepping into the unknown is unsafe. Whether that’s writing a book or hugging someone I’ve never met.
Our entire culture is predicated on avoiding the unknown, keeping us safe, convincing us to protect ourselves, to fit in, to march in line with the consumer system that tells us we need this product and that “technique.”
But like it or not, the unknown is where the magic happens. The unknown is where old, crusty beliefs are overridden by this more beautiful reality. And the unknown is scary.
My current “technique,” if you want to call it that, is getting up every morning and going outside, listening to the birds, making eye contact with my neighborhood fox. I go out there and feel this intense aliveness that, when you take the time to look, you notice permeates everything. I ask that life force to use me, to guide me, to show me what I need to do right now in this moment. Then, when the next moment comes, I ask again.
Maybe it’s a technique. But it feels more like surrender. Because I honestly don’t know.
Except that out there—in the real world, the alive world of nature–I feel connected with my daughter, with what some call angels, with this bigger thing that just keeps bombarding me with miracles.
To give you one small example, this Magical Mystery Adventure that I was invited to participate in with Mike Dooley has raised $22,200 for The Taz Grout 222 Foundation. And the logo that Mike’s amazing team created for the adventure happened to have a giant 222–which they didn’t even realize (they were going for 21 days, starting on the 21st, etc) until I pointed it out. Check it out below.
So I will continue to count my blessings, let go of what I was taught to believe and step out into the wildly mystical unknown. #222 Forever!

$22,200!!! Wow!!! That brought me to tears. Blessed beyond measure to be a fellow adventurer on this one. This playshop has been the powerful reminder I needed. Thoughts do become things. Grateful to you and Mike.
And we’re grateful to you–or at least I am.
Thank you, Pam, for sharing another wonderfully rich post. What’s helped “me,” with regard to fear, is the recognition that it belongs to the body-mind–and I ain’t it! 🙂
Exactly! So appreciative of your insight!
Thank you, Pam! I appreciate yours very much, too. The world needs to know this.
Thank you for the wonderful post Pam. I will be listening to you tomorrow. I think you have a wonderful technique in the mornings. It sounds just wonderful. You are such an inspiration
Thank you, Deborah! I’m blushing!
I love so much about our 21 day Magical Gig we are all on…BUT I’m totally excited I got to be part of the $22,200 raised to continue supporting Taz’s amazing journey! That is SOOOO COOL! Love you Pam!!!
I am also excited to be part of the raising of the money. That is so wonderful
Taz orchestrates a lot of cool things in my life.
I am sure she does. She oversees everything you do.
Love you, too! And thank you for being part of it!
Eye contact with the neighborhood fox- nice!!
Right? What could be better than that?
The MMM Adventure is truly fun- thank you and Mike for doing that!!
It HAS been fun. I haven’t accepted any invitations to do events for quite some time (my wheelhouse is writing), but something told me to do this one.
That’s such a wonderful way to start the day. To connect and just be. Loving the challenge….don’t want it to stop. Look fwd to each mission and finding out how others have manifested theirs. Thankyou for taking the time with Mike to do this. Looking forward to tomorrows playshop. Love and light to all
Can we articipate of the event with Mike Dooley due tomorrow? please explain to me as I am new to the the site and your projects
Hello, Carlos,
If you go to club.tut.com (Mike Dooley’s website), you can create an account and sign in to his website and then look around that website for the Magical Mystery Manifesting Adventure. Maybe if it’s not too late you can still pay to join this adventure. It’s pretty cheap. This is a 21 day manifesting adventure/challenge that Mike and Pam are doing. We are already on day 14 out of 21, but maybe it’s not too late to join. If you join, don’t worry about the fact that we are already 14 days into it. You can just do part of it, and it will be fun!
Thanks, David. You have done a stellar job of answering questions!! The adventure did close last week.
Hello, Carlos,
Scroll down and read my reply to Selma’s comment. That might answer your question.
iy`s a pity that the evemt is already gone, at elast half of it, though myself and other s inquired about it on the very same day it was announced in FB !!! so much effort to make it but someone forgot to tell us about it in due time !!!
If you signed up back then, you can still watch all the replays–for life, as far as I understand it. If not, I think enrollment closed sometime last week.
Pam- thank you so much for being you! You and your wisdom came to me at just the right time in my life (2019). The saying from the Dao rings right- ‘When the student is ready, the teacher will come’. So, I much consider you a teacher for me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Thank YOU!!! We are all teachers to each other.
FANTASTIC STORY!!!
Sharing fantastic stories–it’s what I do.
Oh wow!! $22,200 for the 222 foundation!! And those 3 magical 2’s in the magical mystery manifesting logo!! I love it! It’s all so amazing – and exciting and delightful and inspiring and breathtaking really- that life is actually really this magical all the time if we are open to it. And your wonderful morning “technique” sounds like bliss. Peaceful, enlivening, restorative, and a beautiful way to connect with The Dude, Spirit, Life, The Magic or whatever we want to call that energy permeating everything and helping us manifest magic. Thank you for this magic filled reminder that life is miraculous and miracles are just a breath or a shift in perspective away. Yeah! 😁💃🦋🌺🎉
My Australian buddy–your comments are always so profound!
Thank you Pam (once again!!) for your reminder that we need to do whatever it takes to replace that pesky, ever-present fear. I’ll think of your ‘technique’ as a happy habit, to be practised daily, as often as needed😁😘
It’s just like great athletes and concert violinists have to continue to practice.
Wow!!! That’s so cool, Pam!!! Keep up the good work and sharing great stories like that! 💕🎈
I will!
You are awesome!
And so are you! And so are we all!
Where can I watch the Magical Mystery Adventure?

Thank you, Pam! I love that you’re willing to experiment with your own life in public and share your journey with us. Being out in nature for me, too, connects me to something larger, so your words really resonated. Much love to you!
It’s all so alive. I can’t wait to get out there each morning!
