It’s my birthday and I’ll blog if I want to

“I was wise enough never to grow up.”–Margaret Mead

Just so you know, this is not a plea for birthday wishes. I already feel blessed by each and every one of you. I know (except when I occasionally get cranky) that I’m deeply loved and, if anything, I want to give birthday wishes.

Because that’s how it works. When we’re filled up with love, with the truth of who we are, it can’t help but gush over to everyone in our vicinity—even if it’s the vicinity of a blog. I write these posts for one reason. I love to write them. I do it for me.

And, yes, that’s another gravitational rule of life. When you do what you love most in all the world, it brings blessings to you AND spills on to others like an over-running cup.

When I blather on about the largesse of the world, I occasionally hear comments like  “You’re out of your mind.” And I say, THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!

My mind, as useful as it is, has never delivered much joy. It’s too busy keeping track of stuff, making to-do lists and filing all the reasons I should focus on the human meatball part of myself. But boy, when I get “out of my mind,” all I experience is joy and a beautiful awareness that I am so lucky to have occurred at all.

Today’s Course lesson is “There is nothing to fear.” So my third birthday wish for all of you is this: Get out of your fear-producing mind, recognize the Truth and enjoy a big honking birthday celebration on me. #222 Forever!

    1. I know! Ear worms! I try to get Pharrell William’s “Happy” or Bobby McFerrin’s “Don’t Worry Be Happy” as my ear worms. Hope this helps move the other one out!!

    And hobbits give gifts on their birthday, so I mean this in the best possible way, “you are being
    very hobbitlike!” And one more birthday wish for you from Patrick Mahomes and company!
    Why do I feel like you were sending some positive energy their way on Sunday!? (So was
    I! 😉 ) PS I really like the Marabeth Quin quote!

  20. So being new to all this blog stuff, I wonder if you or anybody reads these comments. After reading your book, I went on this journey to at least make contact with you. The universe guides me in an unconventional way that many ppl disapprove of. I dumpster dive. The city I live in has illegally ousted me and now I have to return in March for fake criminal charges stemming from it all. I am taking NO plea deal, I want a trial of my peers since the judge is as crooked as the system I’m trapped in. I’m living a story for the books here in kentucky……

  31. Happy Birthday Pam!! I’m so glad you were born and are here to share “you” with us. We are definitely blessed because of you doing what you love, and thank you for that reminder – that doing what we love is the best way to bless everyone, ourselves included. I’m going to take that reminder as a birthday message for me because it’s my birthday on Tuesday! We February girls rock don’t we?! 😁💃🥳 So, thanks for this timely post with the lovely quotes and helpful reminders that life is not to be feared but to be celebrated and lived in love. Amen!

  36. Happy Birthday Pam!! I was reading Thank & Grow Rich which I had dogearred a while back when I came upon the Mary Karr story. It made me smile because I had just sent her Liars Club to my nieces. Think8ng of her story, I thought…I am incredibly grateful for my purple dinig table and the food that graces it but I have had it with these 4 crappy dining chairs that have torn the bottom of my family’s pants for the past year. I’d like 4 dining chairs oh Divine being. Less than 24 hours later, driving to a scenuc area to walk my dog, there were 4 wooden chairs outside of a restaurant with a giant FREE sign on them. Going to paint them yellow. Thanks for being “out of your head” and for all the truths you tell!💜💛💜

  46. Thank you Pam, You always seem to know what I need to “hear”. If someone so evolved as you, can still have distractive mind “blathering” , then I feel like I can let mine go and move on from here.

  53. Oh, Pam, I love to hear from you and read your postings! Always so uplifting! I, too, am so conscious of what a miracle it is for me to be here! That particular sperm, that particular egg had to merge at that particular second for me to be here, with a bit of help from the Universe. I AM HERE! So grateful, so thankful. I am 85 years old and feel so fortunate to experience the world, nature, people like YOU! Thank you for giving so freely of yourself to others with your writings. I have read all of your books, and reread there here and there. I am so grateful to have stumbled on to your books and your postings. Thanks for sharing your self with this wonderful world and this human population! I have never met you but if you ever come to Phoenix for a class, or any speaking, I shall be there! With love, Jenny Markakis
