“This is the season of exquisite redemption, a slam-bang return to joy.”—Barbara Kingsolver
Happy Earth Day, friends! I bow in gratitude to Mother Nature, I accept her bounteous gifts and I vow that I will never stop noticing her beauty.
I also want to rave (you know how I am!) in appreciation for your comments and experiment progress reports. I hesitated to use that term, because “progress” is a word from the old paradigm. Like we’re all supposed to make progress, get somewhere, do something.
When in reality, we’re really just here to delight in life’s stunning gorgeousness.
I noticed a theme running through some of the comments. Like you wondered if it was really the Great Cosmic Concierge talking to you or if was just your imagination.
JUST YOUR IMAGINATION?!!!, my imagination retorted. “What am I, chopped liver?”
I, for one, value my imagination and believe it speaks on behalf of my Higher Power. Like all humans, I tend to overuse the left hemisphere of my brain. So when I slip into the creative, intuitive hemisphere, it shuts down the cognitively overdeveloped side. Which is where those old, crusty stories reside.
As for the same messages repeating themselves, I found that when I started doing this, I desperately needed to hear over and over and over again that “I was loved,” “that everything is going to be okay.” The Course says that in order to experience miracles—which are natural and happening ALL.THE.TIME—we must see ourselves as wholly innocent.
I don’t know about you, but I’ve accrued a lot of messages over the years that said just the opposite.
So in the beginning, my voice was a broken record of compassion and acceptance, reminding me again and again that I was loved, that my true nature was joy. Its quiet power and consistency eventually convinced me it might be on to something. Its increasing clarity made it impossible for me not to listen.
But by far the most important bennie of my morning powwow is that it hooks me up to a loving vibrational frequency before I even start my day. It sets the tone for an amazingly awesome, extraordinarily epic 24 hours. And, that my friends, is all I need.
Enjoy the Earth wherever you are today! And I wish for you a deep communion with your own personal Cosmic Concierge!
To life!
#222 Forever!

I’m finding that the most important thing is to ‘allow’. When I feel myself tensing up about something or someone, my voice tells me to ‘just allow’. Not surprisingly, I relax, and the ‘situation’ takes care of itself in the most creative way. No input from me. And the solution is always better than anything I could have thought up on my own. My life has become a ‘moving prayer’ where I feel like I’m always communicating with my ‘Higher Power’. So grateful for everything that presents itself; each lesson is a gift.
I love the image of life being a moving prayer. So profound!
Love your insight. Thanks for sharing.
My pleasure!
Happy Earth Day! She really is gloriously gorgeous and amazingly abundant!
I feel very fortunate that I have long experienced lots of loving thoughts and beliefs. Not that my head doesn’t go to places that are not fun, not beneficial, and not necessary. Mostly those revolve around worrying about my daughter or obsessing about details of “adulting”. And for the first several days of the practice, The Cosmic Concierge (JOY) was responding to those concerns, and I love what it was telling me.
I did reach a point of feeling stuck, with the two way conversation going nowhere. So I am taking a break. The writing practice may not be my path, at least for now. I do talk to my guardian angels (particularly my parents) and to Universe/Joy, in general, just about every day. I revel in gratitude for the little (i.e. BIG) things in nature and my every day life, the synchronicities and magical occurrences, etc…
But I can definitely get better at the actual listening part.
I am currently reading “Godtalk, Experiences of Humanity’s Connections with a Higher Power”, by Neale Donald Walsch, where he shares other folks’ experiences and then gives his perspective on the stories.
It just so happens that I had ordered this book, after hearing a conversation between Neale and Michael Beckwith, and then shortly after I received the book, Pammy Sue puts out this experiment for us. Just another fun synchronicity that proves to me that a having a conversation with All-That-Is is what I want to be doing, regardless of how I choose to participate. But however it happens, I want to up my game.
Love to all, on this glorious day!
xox
So glad you’re making the practice your own. There is no one way to do this!
My experience so far has been all about love. One day, when feeling down about all the chaos in the world, I received the message to put love into my personal world, that it would spread from there. It just made sense! I can’t do anything about world affairs, but I can in my own personal world – so I did just that. I am now telling my sister that I love her – we did not grow up with that kind of language. We knew we were loved but no one ever said it. I am trying to take more time to listen and respond to people in a more personal way. I belong to a prayer and meditation group that meets Wednesday’s at noon and shared about putting more love into our personal worlds. It has made a difference. My “Dude” as Pam calls him, signs off as “The Big Guy Upstairs” with a smilely face. Loving this experiment! Thank you. With love, Carol
Let’s all put love into our personal worlds!
Thank you, Pam. My imagination is me, duh!!! Always so simple. I seem to overlook all these obvious things. Have an amazing awesome day!
I will. Thanks!
Every morning writing and listening has be unbeliveable – this is what I heard. A room with no roof, imagine happiness flowing in and untangling any tight thoughts you are holding, breathe take the roof off – let light enter, smile with the knowledge of All Is Well smiled around your mind and brain. It is glorious! Go outside everyday and open your roof and inconceivable joy will be yours.
Wow! Colleen! I love that!!
I LOVE this thank you!!💚💙🩵 have screenshot it and will write it in my little book🌻
I did want to share my experience. I was doing the “beige car” experiment only I was having a hard time (“Is that car white or beige? Is that one beige or gold?”) so I decided to change it up and said “I need to see a pink car by the end of the day today.” I had a lot of driving to do so I figured I might have a good chance. Well, I finished all of my driving for the day and didn’t see anything. I thought maybe I’d see one online or on the TV or something. I went for a walk with my family and as we were walking I saw some kids that live on the next block driving in their little battery operated PINK Jeep. I laughed so hard and then I told my partner about the experiment and cars and butterflies (which I also did see a lot of that day). Then as we were walking into the nature preserve near our house, I was saying I need to see more deer, I want to see lots of deer, I know they’re around here but I hardly ever see any. My partner says “uhh, there’s some deer right there” and there were a few of them, one was within about 10 feet of us. But as we got further along our walk we saw a TON of deer. It was bonkers. My partner said “you manifested this!” and I said “I am vibrating at such a high level right now!” And we laughed and enjoyed the deer. I still keep giggling about the pink car, though.
Kids pink jeeps are the BEST! And love the deer story!!
That’s a great vignette! Inspiring, even! Thank you for sharing. A ton of deer- that’s marvelous. I don’t think I’ve ever seen more than 4 at a time. I love how the pink kids’ jeep showed up- in my book, that totally counts as a car. And all the normal methods had been exhausted- driving around town, watching TV… just when one is most likely to say, “well, maybe not today…”
Today, after meditation, I sat to write and still felt and heard the message from the lesson: about unity, about there being no separation, about mind-connectedness, and BEST, loud and clear, ‘I need do nothing!’ The clarity of that was overwhelming. Peace abounds. Sink your feet into the grass, or the sand, or the mud and feel that knowledge and connectedness. LOVE abounds! Thank you, again and again!
Sinking my feet deep into this beautiful message. Thanks!
Awesome Frequency established!!! Eternal Grooviness in effect!!!
😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Eternal grooviness indeed!!
Thank you for this opportunity to experiment. I am finding that I am feeling better about it everyday. Such an awesome addition to my daily meditation and while I often receive messages while meditating, I have found that the messages I receive through writing are actually quite different. Blessings Pam! Feeling the joy of being part of the whole, today!
Tigger is just around the corner. Haha
To Tigger!!!
Thanks for sharing this most-excellent perspective, Pam, and your imagination’s retort made me LOL for real… sending you and Mother Earth a hug!
I hug Mother Earth every day!!!
Hi Pam, if you should ever want to compare notes, pls reach out. I believe I began a similar path of connection as your experiment, in late 90’s/early 2000’s. Interesting journey ! Thank you 💟
Thank YOU!!!
Love the feeling of endless waves of love, peace, joy, beauty and all good flowing to us all… forever! Love and hugs to all of you beautiful souls! Oh, my name for the force… Love-Beauty-Great Spirit. Shine on, everyone!
Love, beauty, Great Spirit! Perfecto!!!
YES! To Life! I too need that broken record of compassion and acceptance. And the reminder that all is well and magic and miracles are unfolding at a rapid pace. Grateful for it all.
Amen!!!
YES! from me too💃 I’m finding when I sit with my notebook looking out at whatever signs of nature are nearby (or the sky), just observe and wait, a thought will pop up, I follow that thought and some days I’ll feel INSPIRED to write a lot, some days not so much. Either way those quiet moments are not wasted🥰
Love you Pam. Thanks for all you do.
I absolutely LOVE that quote by Frank Lloyd Wright, and it resonates so strongly with my own inner sense of what and who and where ‘god’ is. Nature is just so stunningly amazing, so gloriously breathtaking, so incredibly smart that it just makes total sense to me that God would be right there in the midst of it. That God in fact IS it. Ever since I was a young child I felt like I could truly sense and feel God when I looked at amazing sunsets or beautiful trees, even in my own childhood backyard. And I guess that was my early feeling of the truth – that the amazing creative being we call God (or The Dude or BrotherGod or whatever) is everywhere all the time wherever we are, and is all of the glorious, wonderful, beautiful aspects of nature and of ourselves. Yes! So thank you for sharing that quote with the beautiful image too. And thank you Pam for letting us know that your early communications with The Dude were compassionate and repetitive missives filled with regular reminders of how loved you are. I will now happily allow BrotherGod to keep reminding me to stop worrying and to have fun! To play more! And especially to ask for ‘his’ help at any time, all the time. That ‘he’ is there to assist, to answer, to guide etc, in EVERY THING. I need these daily reminders because like you said, I have a lifetime of negative ideas about myself, God and life, and these daily (almost😜) communications are helping to erase those fearful, depressing thoughts. Yay!! Here’s to repetition! Here’s to Nature! (God) Here’s to you Pammy Sue- my favourite blogger in the whole world! 😄

I just noticed that for some reason I am “J” instead of Jenny Louise on this post! Weird! Not sure what happened there but funnily enough my sisters and I often refer to each other by our first initial so “J” is actually one of my ‘names’ 😄
God tells you what you need to hear, it might be repetitive but it’s so you can form the kind words into beliefs systems.
We need to hear phrases and words over and over again so we can download them like a computer. This allows us to download a new positive program about ourselves.
Hey!! Would you be able to reiterate what your process is? It came through in one post a while back but I didn’t save that, and now don’t know exactly what it is you’re doing. Thank you XX
Look at April 5th blog.
I am ever grateful for your clarity, optimism and hope 🙏🙏🙏
Love your messages.
Dude your writing is the best.

Thank you so much for sharing this 30 day experiment. The encouragement and support I get has been very helpful. I thought it was a little generic at first but I’m beginning to hear things specific to me. I also really appreciate that it is all written down in my journal so I can reread when I need to. That has been wonderful. Thank you again.
