“I turned to the rose and exclaimed, ‘it’s beautiful!’ and beautiful it became.”–Rabindranath Tagore
I barely know where to begin. As most of you know, I left right after Christmas to fly to the other side of the world. I spent three glorious weeks in South Africa, getting hundreds of hugs from hundreds of kids who came to the Ubuntu summer camps that the Taz Grout 222 Foundation helped fund this year. Soon after arriving home, I manifested a long-desired intention to see the amazing Cloud Cult in concert which also entailed traveling.
But I’m back now and fully committed to amplifying the truth that surpasses the narrative we’re continually being fed. Right now, we’re being inundated with the opposite of hope, so much so that some of us have temporarily forgotten the following three facts:
1.We each have great reserves of energy within us – by some estimates more than 7 X 10th to the 18th joules of power which translates to roughly 30 hydrogen bombs. That means we have the power to fill the whole world with light.
2. Each one of us contributes to a resonant field of either peace or war, of either love or fear, of either truth or illusion. Every thought is a unit of energy. And we get to decide which ones to nurture. I refuse to let someone else’s viewpoint or beliefs interfere with my reality.
3. Outrage does nothing but cripple us. Fear and worry do nothing but deplete our energy. Once I step outside the narrow spectrum of consensus reality, I notice that the world still pulses with immense delights.
So my plan is to harness all my thoughts and all my energy to call forth the beauty and light that exists within all things. In other words, I will NOT miss the party.
#222 Forever!

More than ever we need your guidance daily, but, at least, weekly. Are you on any platform where we can watch videos of inspiration?
I used to do a video or two. But mostly I just write.
So good you are back, Pam! I love you!
Good to be back. I love you, Sheila!
It was only yesterday that I remembered you’d been away for a while, and I found myself hoping to hear from you soon. And now, here you are—I’m so glad you did!
Your words are a beautiful reminder of the light and power we all hold within us. It’s so easy to get caught in the noise of fear and division, but your perspective is a breath of fresh air, a gentle nudge back toward hope, love, and the magic that exists in the world.
I can’t wait to hear more about your time in South Africa and all the joy you brought (and received) there. And I love the commitment to not missing the party—because there is always something worth celebrating.
Welcome back!
Yes! Always something to celebrate!
Thank you for sharing the beautiful camp pictures of the Ubuntu children that you and Taz and her foundation founded. It made my heart smile Pam I’m in my bed with my first flu I caught from my precious grandaughter. I truly needed this heart smile today❤️
Get well soon! And I’m glad your heart is smiling!
Nature is very clever. She made our children irresistible, so beautiful and irresistible that we can’t help loving them. How wonderful!
So beautiful! Children are our teachers!

Say hi to your posse for me!
#3 is PERFECT. Thank you for the light and the reminder to be the light.
Just sitting here being the light!
I know what you’re saying is true. And yet I’m having a very difficult time not reacting negatively to our new president and all the negativity I perceive coming from him. It’s very difficult.
I understand. And I also understand the power that is greater than all that. Truly we must rise above and remember who we truly are.
Dearest Pam,
This is exactly what I needed to hear. I too am finding it difficult to navigate the fear and negative vibe from our new president and his administration. Living in a politically divided house also adds to my angst.
Light, love and high vibration,
Donna
Here’s to healing all division!
Woohooo!! So glad to hear from you today dear Pam, and so glad you shared those 3 facts. Thank you for reminding us of those powerful truths which we often too easily forget, especially in these present times. And thanks for sharing the photos of those gorgeous kids. They are beaming with light. 🌞🌟🌝 Here’s to remembering how powerful we all truly are and to shining our own light brightly to share with the world. Peace to you Pam and to all of us here, and everywhere. 🌏🕊️🌺🙏🥰
That’s exactly right. Those kids are beaming with light–as are we, when we look beneath the masks.
You are sunshine breaking through!! Wow
That may be the nicest thing anyone’s ever said to me. Thank you!
Marvelous attitude, very similar to mine. Shine on.
Indeed! May we all shine on!
I needed this reminder, today. Thank You, Pam.
I Love You.
And I love you, Elliott! Where are we going to meet now that the Farmer’s Market is over for the season?
Prrrrfect Pam! Thank you! ❤️
So welcome! I am also reminding myself!
Hello Pam and welcome back! Thank you so much for your powerful and enlightening message today. I wish I could hug those beautiful children you shared with us. Your beautiful message propelled me out of my silly gloom and doom thoughts to join new local groups of other positive thinkers locally to keep the message of love and light alive. Love you Pam!
