“There is a simplicity to life if we let ourselves see it…it’s beautiful…and perfect. We become aware of it when we don’t listen to the mental noise in our minds.”—Gail Brenner
Right now, the only time there really is, I am flying high. I feel free, curious and eager to discover what the field of infinite potentiality will dish up for me next.
I love living in “the now,”’ noticing where my attention is flowing. When my awareness is focused on my stories, my thoughts and other concepts I’ve inadvertently swallowed as absolute fact, it creates a lot of noise, a lot of resistance.
Every concept is like a Lego block building higher, thicker, more solid walls that separate me from my true nature — which, I’m starting to notice, loves everything, everyone, no exceptions.
In fact, it’s becoming clear to me that any thought that’s not of love (my true nature) prevents the light from flowing and, yes, it hurts.
Concepts, generated through a life-time investment in certain thoughts and beliefs, prevent the natural beauty and simplicity of life from showing up. It’s always there (thankfully, it’s indestructible), but we can’t see it because of the ever-growing Lego wall.
When I center my awareness on the light (which could also be called pure Divine Intelligence and Infinite Creativity) I notice beauty in everything. There’s SO MUCH FRICKIN’ BEAUTY.
I’m off to get my hair cut, friends, but thought I’d share this quickie update on the butt-kickin’ power of “the now.”
Have an extraordinarily epic Thursday!
#222 Forever!

My Father used to say “It’s always now” and I’d smirk to myself and think “well, duh!” All of these years later I realize just how deliciously true that can be!
Smart dad you have there.
Happy Thursday Pam!! And Congratulations on completing your new book, a picture book for adults! I can’t wait to get my hands on it, do you have a date for its release yet?
I loved today’s post because after reading so many of your posts I am sometimes still wondering how can I join you in that other field of happiness and always think I need to read your books again or must need to do more homework to get there. But today it just really seemed so easy to just focus on the light and all of natural beauty and and to live in the now! Your cartoon cracked me up, I am so guilty of doing that. I am going to kick my Lego wall to the curb and join you in the light! I hope you and our group of Pam followers have an EXTRAORDINARY EPIC Thursday!☀️💫☘️
Thanks, Kathleen. You pointed out such a profound truth in this comment. Our belief that we need to do one more thing–read one more book, attend one more seminar is the very thing that blocks the truth. We already have what we’re looking for. We’re just busy looking the other way. As for the book, tentative release date is end of 2025.
YOUR AWESOME!!!!IM SO GRATEFUL FOR YOU PAM:)
And I’m grateful for you!
Thank you.Pam. I needed this today!
My pleasure! I needed to write this today.
Just when I think the timing of the message can’t get anymore perfect! BOOM…it does.
Love ya Pam and thank you!

Love you, too, Kate in Carmel!!!
Enjoy your new haircut. The gift of now! Wow! Always a good reason to celebrate. Thanks for tap dancing through life and sharing some of your inner muse thoughts. Much gratitude, Pam.
How was the talk you gave with the animal whispers last week in Arizona (?) I thought about you and how much fun you were having while I was having my own fun in Rhode Island
As it turns out, the animal whisperer seminar got truncated which was Divine Timing for me as I had loose ends to tie up on the new book. Glad you had a blast in Rhode Island.
Love this, it’s incredible how everything is exactly as we know it will be.
So true. So true!
There is beauty in everything!
I love you, Pam!
I love you, Sheila!
In each Now I am reminded of your beauty. Thank you for choosing to show up as the Love you Are.
😍😍😍
Yay for perfect posts from Pam Grout twice in one week!! Woohooo! 🥳💃🎉 I love the cartoon – I see myself in it a little too clearly, and on more occasions than I’d like to admit 😬🙃😉but it made me laugh. 😁 And I just love how succinctly and creatively you express these truths for us. I love the image of a Lego wall being built in my mind from my false thoughts and beliefs that stops me from easily seeing the love and light that is always there. That image makes it feel easier to get rid of the old programming – it’s just a bunch of Lego blocks I can knock over with glee! 😄 Yay for letting in the Light, living in the now, and knowing that’s where the love, the joy and the magic is. Thank you Pam! Have a fabulous Friday! (Which it is right now for me over in Aus.) And send us a pic of your new hairdo won’t you! 💇🏼♀️😉🦋🌷🌏💖😘
Pam, you are the greatest! The Infinite Intelligence, Divine Love led me to this post. I just returned home from a two week vacation in Northern California. We saw all the little villages and cities I had heard of when living there but never saw. I am feeling so full of wonderful memories, and now all the things to do here at home, that my mind is swimming with “lego blocks…where do I put this, what do I do next. Your reminder to be in the moment is perfect. I suddenly stopped and breathed deeply, and laughed! Thank you Universal Intelligence for leading me to this perfect post. I read your blog every week and it almost always hits a home run.
