“The noise of life and the density of matter can draw us in if we don’t deeply align first thing in the morning.”—Lucy Grace
Those of you who have been following my blog for a while know I’m a HUGE fan of ServiceSpace. I was invited to their Ghandi 3.0 event last year in India. I volunteer to transcribe their weekly Awakin Calls and Taz and I (through the 222 Foundation) chose to gift our yearly award to them in 2022.
I’ve been inspired by their work and their commitment to the gift economy for years. I’ve mentioned it before, but when I pitched a story about their founder Nipun Mehta to my editor at People magazine, she just kept asking, “But how does it work?”
She just couldn’t grasp the concept of an organization that believes so strongly in the abundance and goodness of the universe that they give everything away. It was so far removed from the script we all pick up at birth that it just didn’t compute.
I’m bringing this up now because, last weekend’s Awakin Call with Lucy Grace was Exhibit A in what I’m hearing from IFL. (The indestructible life force is what I’ve been calling my morning collaborator lately).
Lucy found the voice when she was just a child in New Zealand. (I also love that she’s from New Zealand, because Taz, whose birth father was from there, had a second passport from New Zealand and well, I’ve always loved the place.)
Lucy was born into poverty and, because she didn’t have the resources that many have, she learned to listen to this other voice that kept telling her she was loved exactly as she was, that absolutely everyone and everything is loved just because they exist. She said while she might have had a hungry stomach, she didn’t have the hungry heart that sometimes afflicts the well-off.
She says, “I always had the company of God” only in her book of poetry she calls it This Untameable Light. (Hey, another brilliant synonym to add to my collection.)
Lucy said she could feel the aliveness in all of life and that she always possessed a deep sense that all is well.
The voice is here for all of us, except some of us have the volume turned down. The practice I’ve been enjoying is my way of restoring the natural volume.
I decided to post the video of this week’s Awakin Call interview, because well, it’s way better than anything I could ever say. Take it from Lucy, all of us are always supported and guided and held.

Thank you, Pam and Taz! I just now clicked the play button on this interview. I’m excited! Boogeying with the ILF!!
Boogey away, my friend!
Not wanting to share anything negative to throw a bad light on the lovely comments but I have just found out that I have been scammed out of $40,000 of my retirement fund! Well sitting in my car shaking from head to toe wondering how I open the door and get out, I was looking at my phone and saw your email of the day and despite my feelings of overwhelming fear, a sense of calmness came over me. Such a joy to be part of Pam’s group…. such overwhelming meanness in the world and yet here lies a beautiful sense of faith and Hope and resilience ….. have to strap on a pair of strong shoes and keep walking maybe just take today off! Thanks for the many many moments of Joy reading your books, Pam.
I am sorry to hear this. I’m glad that Pam’s email helped bring you a sense of calmness. I wish you a wonderful outcome, whatever that may look like.
I’m so sorry you’re having to process that experience, Marilyn. Your “strong shoes and keep walking” idea seems like a good plan. I hope you can walk in nature, and the sun shines and the birds sing for you! 💐
Dear sweet Marilyn,
I am so sorry to hear this. I can genuinely feel how difficult this would feel. And I’m honored that, if only for a moment, my words could offer some comfort. Sometimes, the only choice we have (and we always have this choice) is where we place our attention. If possible, listen to Lucy’s interview and feel the genuine peace offered there. I love you.
I am excited to watch the video! I am always up for new messages from new voices.

Hope you like it as much as I did. In fact, i just signed up to transcribe the call.
Thanks for sharing this with us, Pam! I saw this quote today and think you might enjoy it, too…
People see God every day, they just don’t recognize him. ~Pearl Bailey
You are right! I LOVE that quote!
Thank Pam!
I’ve been practicing ACIM for almost 4 years daily . The course has changed my life in so many beautiful aspects.
You are a light and I cherish your emails every time I receive one.

Thanks so much for sharing, Pam. Lucy is surely the poster child for unconditional love.

I’m so very grateful.
Kate
Yes, it is a healing blessing to the whole world!!! Thank you again, Kate, and thank you again, Lucy!
Wow! Thank you so much dear Pam for sharing the awakin’ call with Lucy Grace. I was mesmerised and moved by the beautiful way Lucy describes her experience of God, and by her glorious poetry. There were so many gems of wisdom and grace in that interview and I felt light and inspired for hours afterward. ✨☀️⭐️ Your latest name for The Dude – the Indestructible Life Force – is fabulous. Perfect. And ILF for short is a word of its own. Sounds a bit like elf. I like that image – god as an elf. 😁 So here’s to Service Space, to Lucy Grace and to you and Taz for all you do to help us all to know and feel that wonderful connection to the ILF that permeates everything, including us. Amen! (Or ‘Yeeehaaaaah!’ if you prefer! 😄) Love ya Pam! 🤗🎉🧡💃😘
I love AMEN! And I LOVE YEEEHAAAAAH! And I love you and your brilliant insights!
