The Anne Report
The Anne Report
Dear ,
This was an unusual week. My husband went to NC to his first cousin’s funeral. This was sad, because his cousin, Mike, was only 63. While it was a sad occasion, I welcomed the time alone. It’s been at least three years since I was alone at home. Alone! Alone! I hopped around singing the first day. I could do what I wanted to do, when I wanted to do it. No schedule. I assumed the dog walking chores, which were abdicated when I broke my toes a few weeks ago, and I drove around in our pickup truck because Jim took the Prius. I ate smoothies, popcorn, and fresh strawberries dipped in homemade chocolate syrup, made with butter and maple syrup. No cooking. I love to cook, but sometimes, it’s fun to go rogue.
I was like a child at the county fair. When I was young, going to the county fair was the highlight of my year. The fair came in October, which was perfect, because I always had birthday money to spend. I ate cotton candy and road the Ferris wheel. Being home alone was almost as good as going to the county fair.
Update on our dog, Lucy. She continues to improve, on the CBD oil. She is routinely climbing the stairs to the second floor. She hasn’t done this in years. I’m not taking it myself, but if you have chronic pain, I’d give it a try.
We had a bite on our house, which is for sale, but the people didn’t qualify for the loan. Fingers always crossed on the house thing, for qualified buyers who loved the house as much as the couple who will not be moving in. It’s hurricane season on the Gulf Coast, and we go through the summer with our fingers and toes crossed, picturing a calm summer. Hurricanes and house selling don’t go together well.
That’s it for the Anne Report, and remember to make it an EZ or at least EZier day.
Main Article
The Prime Minister of Possibilities
We live in a culture that sentences us to linear thinking. It’s not due to a conspiracy; it’s due to the sanctification and hybridization of the rational, mechanical, and the material. Somewhere, back in the days of deep discovery, we discarded something valuable, in favor of what we reasoned was undesirable. We placed our new discoveries at the top and center of our value systems and left behind the heart and foundation of our souls.
That’s why we have to wake up. We must wake up the sleeping parts of who we are and somehow bring the rational and material along for the ride. The rational, the mechanistic, and the material can no longer be the train; they must become the cargo. We are in times when we can conduct double-blind studies and learn to listen to the bees and the trees, and its vital that we do both. The scientist needs to meditate and to heed perennial wisdom, and the meditator must adopt essential practicality and act when needed. The businesswoman must open her heart and the spiritual activist must learn to leverage social media. We can no longer stay in the box of our choosing, if we expect to plumb the potency of our being.
The Prime Minister of a country is the leader of the government and is ultimately responsible for its policy and decisions. But imagine a prime minister of internal affairs, a personal prime minister, an overseer who has authority to open the doors to a higher way of being.
That prime minister (PM) does exist within us, and the PM can marry the profound and the practical and free us in a way that exposes limitless possibilities. We live in exciting times; we are on the edge of untold possibilities and unmitigated enthusiasm for a higher good. While the media might show us the limits of the world picture, and it’s something we want to know, there is an emerging tide of fortune, that brings with it a freshness that ultimately can’t be ignored. When our good nips at our heels indefinitely, when a higher way of being exposes itself at every turn, even our most cynical parts take note.
What catalyst awakens that which sleeps in us? It is simple. When we begin to feel good, we see things in a different light. We open to possibilities, because when we feel good, we don’t need to spend our energies protecting and defending our ideologies, positions, and imagined weaknesses.
We have to let go of many of our ingrained habits before we begin to feel good. What would our inner prime minister have us do to awaken to the pleasures of life? How can we prime the realms of expanded intelligence?
- Quit making material success sacred. This quest runs us ragged and leaves little time to enjoy life. Success should never be a goal; it should be the byproduct of living on purpose.
- Stop rescuing people and taking care of others, especially when it leaves us little or no time for ourselves. We can’t make others the central theme of our lives. While service to others opens us to miracles, codependency shuts them down. Discover the difference between altruism and martyrdom.
- Join with others. “Some animals are solitary, but humans are not. Social inclusion and interaction are necessary for our survival. This becomes evident when we become socially isolated, starting with depression and often culminating in disease.”
- Be in touch with our bodies. When we are in touch with our bodies, we know that bodies like sweet sounds, enticing aromas, and movement. The body loves sexual pleasures and healthy, good-tasting foods. The body loves to be held and hugged.
- Be informed. Keep up with what’s happening in the world, and fuel our minds with joyful thoughts and fun times. If we keep all the news out of our lives, we spark denial, but when we keep the pleasure of living at bay, we become cynics. If we blend the state of the world with optimistic possibility thinking, the world presents opportunities rather than burdens.
Feeling good alone is not the panacea to solving the world’s problems, just as priming to pump only brings water to us. We can’t quench our thirst unless we drink the water. Learning to incorporate pleasure and feeling good into our lives is the prime for the pump of our good. It opens us to more intelligent choices. Can you imagine people who feel good about their lives stopping their party and saying, “Let’s go to war.”? Feeling good, experiencing joy, zeal, and zest, create a vibration that allows the treasures of pleasures to flow into our lives. Think of the inner Prime Minister as our higher self. It is a part of us that has answers that our rational mind bypasses. It is an all-inclusive part of ourselves that we can call on to solve problems, to open us to adventure, and to fuel a renaissance of being. It can manage and direct inspiring inner dialogue. The PM serves us in both practical and mystical ways. It brings science and sentience together. I heard a woman say, “I talk with my Higher Power. If you see me talking to myself, I’m just having a cabinet meeting.” Let’s call on our PM, and have a cabinet meeting, because when we do, life is EZier and EZier.

Abundance Affirmations
Click to Join Anne's Facebook Group
This group is a place to post uplifting affirmations and thoughts about prosperity and abundant living. Let’s create a right relationship with money so that we feel comfortable about money. Let’s use money as it’s meant to be used, and not as a way to accumulate power or to fill a void. We don’t need money to buy more stuff. We need it to create a world that works for everyone. We want to cast off old beliefs of lack and reclaim our natural state of abundance. Anne, AKA Dr. Money, posts a nightly goodnight for the prosperity team, and everyone who watches them becomes a part of the prosperity team.
Featured Product This Month
Suppose someone told you that you could change your life radically, for the better, if you spent just three minutes a day doing inner work? Would you believe it? Maybe not, but wouldn't it be worth an investment of three minutes a day to try it?
The Living Book offers just this. Devote three minutes a day to this process and your life will become a living testimony to the seed principle. A tiny seed can grow into a mighty tree, but it must be planted. Plant your daily seed for three short minutes and notice both subtle and miraculous changes in your life. In addition to the daily practice, one can use the process when they are stumped or afraid or angry. This process transforms anger into love. When we plant seeds of light into our thoughts and emotional bodies, we move into higher frequencies of well-being.
The Living Book, by Anne Sermons Gillis. Paperback $4.95 plus $3.00 shipping. PDF Download $0.99. Kindle Book $2.99.

Declaration of Inner-Dependence
The fourth of July heralds the day the United States gained its independence from England. We, as a nation, no longer answer to England, but personally we still experience unhealthy dependency issues. Here’s a freedom holiday message. Let’s free ourselves from depending on the outer as reference points to our well-being. Try this visionary statement to start your day. Affirm that your inner state feeds your outer state and that every need is supplied.
Declaration of Inner-Dependence
I, a spirit of the United States of Consciousness, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, ensure tranquility, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty, for myself and others, and for posterity, do ordain and establish this Declaration of Inner-Dependence.
I, __________________, am inner-dependent. I am fully dependent on the source within to provide me with a sufficiency of all things necessary to live a passionate, joy-filled life. When I settle my mind and release the thoughts that drag me down, I am immersed in the deep, quite place of fulfillment. I declare that this inner space is non-failing and all-providing. I am a part of this grand intelligence and I choose to live my life in accordance with its provisions. I depend on the substance within to care for my every need. The unfailing spiritual activity within me provides goodness and mercy in my relationship with self and others, in my financial affairs, and in my career, body, mind, and feeling nature. I accept the inner presence as my instant, constant, non-ending abundance of all good things. God is the Source, and the I Am of me is the re-source. I am like my creator, Source and Re-Source.
Furthermore, I hold these truths to be self-evident, that all people are created equal in spirit, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness. Furthermore, I know myself to be the creator of life, liberty, and happiness in my world, and, as an inner-dependent, I know that I am richly blessed by everything, everyone, and every situation. So Be It!
The Declaration of Inner-Dependence is excerpted from my fourth book, Words Make a Difference.

Anne Art
Anne Art varies from week to week. This week’s art is what I call emergence art. Chicken Little started as a free-hand drawing of circles. After getting the main lines, I tried to find an object that emerged. It was a chicken. So I colored the image to allow Chicken Little to appear. The second piece was drawn similarly, but on the computer. I continued to draw a series of shapes until the mail box and the jester emerged. While the outcomes are not showy or particularly artistic, the process spawns creativity. Creativity brings satisfaction and opens the psyche to new vistas. Maybe I should call it emerge and see art.
