“Nature is encouraging us each day to exist as our blueprint intended — together.” — Zach Bush
I love my local possibility posse.
I get so much inspiration (our mission, you may remember, is to celebrate what’s going right) that, even though I’m in full-blast writing mode, I thought I’d stop to jot down a quick post inspired by today’s get-together.
We frequently use a phrase–“oh, that was definitely a God job”–when something happens outside our realm of understanding. Like when the perfect book drops off the shelf. Or when someone sends unexpected money.
It occurred to me this morning when the “God job” phrase was mentioned that I can now see that everything is a god job. Everything is a gift.
It is only mental commentary that prevents me from seeing that. Anytime I judge any event (not to mention a person) I fail to notice the miracle.
This truth is becoming so clear to me. Every time I decide to hold up a score card and rate something as “undesirable,” my energy flow gets blocked.
I am in such a state of bliss right now because well, my days are really simple.
I walk. I listen. And I write.
As I open myself to more god job energy (which only means I’m not blocking truth), more inspiration pours through. I wake up nearly every morning with new thoughts, new ideas.
I’ve been comparing it to the manifestation process. Whatever you focus upon is animated into your life. Your attention adds weight and gravity and, before you know it, voila!
In order to get back to my book, I’m going to stop here and share instead this joyous email that popped into my inbox last week:
“Hey there! I wanted to reach out to share my story with the experiment, asking for a blessing within 48 hours. IT WAS SO EXCITING!
I came across a podcast interview that you were on, and although I have been following you on social media for the past few years, I didn’t realize you were a writer (duh on me).
“I immediately went on Audible to purchase 3 of your books. I read “Thank and Grow Rich” first and experienced something cool after reading that one, and then I started on E2.
“Here’s what happened…It was July 12th, and I decided to try the experiment. I asked for a blessing, a wink from God to come to me within the next 48 hours. The following day was my birthday, and my fiancé got us a double Queen suite at one of our favorite oceanfront resorts here in Jupiter, Fl. We live close by and stay there at least once a year on special occasions.
“We usually get the same suite, which is BEAUTIFUL. So we walk into the lobby to check in, and this young, sweet girl behind the desk starts giggling when we tell her our name for the reservation. I said jokingly, “What is so funny?” She replies, “It’s your lucky day! We upgraded you to our 3-bedroom Penthouse for no extra charge. This room goes for $3,500 A NIGHT! We then asked if we could stay a second night at the same rate as the original suite and said “absolutely!”
“I finished E3 this morning, and I am so eager to start experimenting. I also host a podcast called “Thoughts can Heal,” and my last episode was about reading your book, Thank and Grow Rich, and what happened when I experimented with one of your suggestions in the book. Thank you so much for all you do to make this world a better place! Heck, if you’d ever like to be a guest on my podcast I would be honored.”
Thank you, Denise, and thank you God (or whatever you want to be called) for always strutting your stuff. Have a great week, friends! Love you to the six-planet parade gracing our night skies right now and back.
#222 Forever!

As always, an email from Pam Grout is a God Job. Always welcome, always uplifting, always a great reminder of where my focus would be better served.
A “little” one: Yesterday morning, as I stood with my feet in the dirt, with the sun in my eyes, doing some stretches (this is part of my morning routine four times a week), I saw something out of the corner of my eye. It was the sliver moon, up high in the sky. Barely perceptible, if I had actually been looking for it, it would have taken me a minute to find it. I am grateful to nature, and grateful to myself for placing myself in nature so often. I hear so much about Nature Deficit, and thank goodness I cannot relate. I am out in nature a good amount, every single day. And I notice the leaves quaking, the birds and critters doing their thing, the sunrises and sunsets, and (oh wait -it’s currently 11:11! Make a wish!), and all manner of glorious miracles in nature.
A “bigger” one: ever since last Thursday, we are in that stage with our dog, Little Erin, where we are doing extreme care taking, and going back on forth on how long until her grand exit. She has a lot of pain, and for several days could not walk or keep her hind end up, at all. It’s been brutal for her and for all of us. There has been some improvement over the last 48 hours. We have an appointment for next Tuesday, which we may or may not keep. She’ll be 13 in a couple of weeks.
Anyway, I had heard about the hurricane developing on the East coast, and assumed it was called Aaron. But yesterday, as things were looking up a bit, I saw that it is actually called ERIN! I’d think it was cool to have that name, anyway, but the timing seems so fitting. Either it’s giving her some extra strength and power to stand and walk for short stints, and/or it’s happening to usher her out. Regardless, I think it’s magical timing.
If everyone could send her (and our other dog, Santa Fe) some extra love, that would be wonderful.
Beautiful, beautiful message! I, too, am out in nature every day, doing my yoga, scouring the garden and the yard for new surprises. There always are some.
Also I send good thoughts and vibes to Little Erin and Santa Fe. God speed, my friends!!!
Love, hugs and peace to you and your dear doggies Pamela Joy. May you all feel arms of love wrapping around you and holding you close during these hard days with Little Erin. 💛🧡💖
Love, love, love 😍🥰🤗
Yes, yes, yes!!!
Love you Pam Grout. You’re such an inspiration. Please keep reminding us, I know I need it. Hugs
Again, I’m just reminding myself. We’re all one!
I love you, Pam!
I love YOU, Sheila!
Woohoo Yeah!!! Super cool stuff Pam Grout! I love the idea that everything (even the things we label bad or annoying etc) is a “god job”. If we looked at everything in life that way we’d be so much happier, more trusting, and way less stressed. We could trust that even the things that ‘didn’t turn out right’ are also a ‘god job’ and that ‘not turning out right’ was actually perfect because it enabled the true right thing to happen. I’m liking this very much! 😁
Thanks for sharing Denise’s marvellous manifestation story, and for uplifting us all with your infectious joy and powerful messages of truth. I am so grateful for YOU dear Pam! Have a wonderful week, and may the writing of your new book be as much of a blissful, joyful delight as it will be for us when we get to read it!! 🥳💜🎉🙏🏼💝🦋🌷😘
I love the little bunny and unicorn at the top. <3
I try to walk barefoot on the sidewalks in the neighborhood early in the morning and let the morning sun into my eyes. It opens my eyes to the infinite possibilities of the day. The home planet we share is so beautiful and life is so beautiful and love is so beautiful and miraculous. Sending out all the love I can. <3
you’ve sold me; this is brilliant and magical 🙂 I have bookmarked this post and I have subscribed !!!
Thanks, Pam and friends…I’m up late responding to beautiful comments I got from my LinkedIn post. This week I posted a bright pink graphic of my late lab Boozer and me with the lyrics, “This thing…called love…I just can’t handle it…” (and I included Freddie Mercury with a slammin’ canary yellow jumpsuit.) I love shifting the flow on LinkedIn !!!
