“We are not holding our breaths waiting for the bad to become good somehow. We are making living pathways for everything to return to Love.”—Ameeta Kaul
Happy Monday, friends! I’m sitting in the backyard, communing with my tree besties, celebrating the fact that I just turned in my manuscript to the amazing book designer, Violet Lemay.
Not only is she a NY Times bestselling children’s book author (her latest, “A Maker of Dresses” was released this week on the heels of NY Fashion week), but she taught illustration at Savannah College of Art and Design. Am I a lucky gal or what?
I’ve dubbed this new book, “a picture book for grownups” because it is meant to show, not tell the story of two very different fields of intelligence.
We humans have access to both.
The field we’re most familiar with is generated within our minds. It has become human’s predominant means for accessing guidance and direction. Unfortunately, it’s extremely limited and, because its chief reason to exist is to keep us safe, it makes a huge racket and has become the P.T. Barnum of “Woe is me.” Let’s just say this field of intelligence has gotten way out of whack!
The other field of intelligence, which is inherent and indestructible, has a much broader viewpoint. It offers a kinder, softer, easier way of approaching life. Today’s Course in Miracles lesson called it “the celestial gentleness with which creation shines.”
Oh and P.S., it contains no fear.
Every moment we spend in one field or the other is an investment in a path that will continue to draw from us and define us.
I’m finding myself relying more and more on the broader, vaster field of intelligence. It’s a heck of a lot more fun, a hundred times less stressful and, I believe, it’s creating a living pathway for everything to return to Love.
#222 Forever!

Can’t wait for your book to be released! Thank you for always reminding us that we get to choose our reality.
It’s the coolest thing–that unshakeable fact!
Goody goody gum drops! An illustrated new book from Pam Grout!! Woohooo! I can hardly wait! 🥳💃🎉 Thanks for the links to Violet Lemay’s work – her children’s books look fun, happy and educational in a delightful, inspiring way, so I reckon she’s the perfect illustrator for your new book. ❤️👌🏼📕 I love the idea of ‘a living pathway’ that we can choose to be part of creating ‘for everything to return to love’. I also love the thought that by choosing to tune in to the vast, grand field of wondrous intelligence available to all of us we can be a lot less stressed and have a lot more fun while living our lives and creating that path to love. Why wouldn’t we choose this field to rely on? It sounds heavenly! 😁⭐️🌝✨ Thank you dearest Pam for brightening our days with your inspiring words of wisdom from your heart. We are lucky to have you here. 🙏🏼🌷💛😘
You so rock, Jenny Louise!
Why, thank you! Here’s to all of us spiritual ‘rockers’ – let’s keep dancing together on the love path 😁💃🧡🎸💛🕺🥳
Congratulations on completing your picture book. Can’t wait to see the finished product!
Thanks, friend! Always love seeing your name in the comments.
Love that description of the “Celestial Gentleness”… that sure is more compelling than the alternative. Always a treat to hear from you, Pam. Thank you so much for sharing your stardust! Oh, forgot to add, looking forward to your newest book! Hooray. ps: one of my dogs woke me up at exactly 2:22am the other morning. I decided that it was a good omen. Peace and blessings, everyone, everywhere!
I love this: Peace and blessings, everyone, everywhere!! Thank you!!!
Congrats Pam🎉 your new book sounds fabulous😍
Why thank you!!!
Just this morning I said to myself, “I hope we get to hear from Pam today.”
Thanks Universe! 😉🌟
How sweet! The universe was listening–as it always does.
Always wonderful to hear your reminder to “snap out of it.” I keep The Course in Miracles Experiment on my passenger seat to snap me into IT. Thank you, Pam and friends!!!
Hope you have it buckled in.
Congrats on the manuscript progress!
Sounds awesome. Thanks for the reminder to spend more time with my trees. 🙂
Trees are my BFF’s.

Exactly what I needed to hear and import into me as I start today – thanks so much Pam. I am excited to hear about an adult picture book. I have written two children’s books so far on hope and faith. @2MoMos – Books That Comfort Kids. We lean into spiritual feelings. My next one is on miracles and is underway. I would really love your reviews of them and be happy to send you copies. It would mean so much. Please feel free to get in touch. Thanks so much Pam for keeping us looking in and up. 🥰
Your books sound amazing, my friend!!!
Let’s everything return to love!
I love you, Pam!
I can’t wait to see your book. I am struggling with a blast of fear that seems to be compromising my more expansive feelings of love. Fear can be sneaky that way. I was going to say I need to work harder to Love and upend the fear, but then I already know Love is always there. Always present. ❤️ Lisa

Thank you for writing this book. I’m very excited!! After reading lots of books on new thought, a picture book would be so refreshing and delightful.
Bless you.

This sounds like such a lovely topic and I’m so excited for the pictures! Images help so much with grasping and remembering concepts. Thanks for bringing this one in, Pam. Can’t wait to get the book!
Pam Grout, you always seem to say the right things at the right time. I just returned from a two week vacation in Northern California. It was a fabulous two weeks filled with memories and old longings of the sound of the sea waves crashing against the rocks. Memories of places I used to haunt with friends and my husband. And we found new places so beautiful I don’t know how we missed them. We were both born there and left because it had become too crowded. Our love for that area and gratitude for all we had will never leave us. Obviously I am filled with thoughts, memories, and joy as I do all the things that now stare me in the face upon returning home! Seeing your post made me stop, sit still and breath, and then laugh! Thanks Pam, for another “right on” post!
