The Anne Report

Dear ,

I’m writing this on Easter. As for our special Easter meal, we had black beans and broccoli. The special part was a chocolate cake. I’ve packed most of our pots and dishes, but fortunately there was one pie pan. I substituted ingredients in this pie-cake so I didn’t have to use sugar. The taste was moderately good. There was no icing and it tasted like a cross between a brownie and a chocolate pancake. I’ll use more agave next time. I’m always modifying recipes to make them healthier. I don’t mind that some things I bake are not as good as others; if I can’t take risks in the kitchen, then what does that portend for my life? How close to protocol and correctness does one need to stand?

Our Easter entertainment was a bicycle ride. Our township brims with blossoms and greenery, but as we rode along the streets, rather than the walking paths, I noticed a few houses that looked like someone had sucked the life out of them. The front yards looked dead and I’d bet there’s no one in the house doing wild things with recipes and anointing everything with coconut oil. Helen Keller said that life is a daring adventure or nothing at all. I don’t want my life to be a wild goose chase, but I’d rather gather my geese and then set about going in one direction – my direction. I don’t need to go as others direct me or expect of me, but I must walk the Anne Path. Each of us has a unique path to walk. It doesn’t require outrageous behavior or rebellion, but it does require a path to the true self. If that’s not the path we’re walking, we’d better stop in our tracks and turn heart-ward because it’s the only path that leads home. And that’s it for the Anne Report.

Inner Guidance

Navigating the COVID-19 virus is all the news. It doesn’t matter what’s happening or whom we speak with, the C-19 is on the tip of everyone’s mind. Who could imagine that such an event could radically alter our lives? Yet it happened after 9-11. Life as we know it changed, but regardless of the external events in our lives and how they shape our day to day activities, unless we change the limiting influence of the egoic mind, we don’t change.

We bring the influence of our false fears into every event. As we grow, we learn to control parts of our minds and emotions, but that too has its limits and can be exhausting. We run away from pain and try to hold onto the good moments. Is there a point where we stop and experience a new depth of being? A place where the zigzag of life doesn’t play tic-tac-toe on our souls? Maybe so. I’ve noticed two reactions in people who are terminally ill. Some people don’t face death. They deny it’s happening or miss the freedom that the certainty of death can bring. But there are others, that look in the face of death, and use it to grow, to express their deepest thoughts, to consciously say goodbye, and if we look deeply at their process, we can see an unflinching peace. All the negative inner directives they’ve lived under fall away. Who cares what others think? Who cares how I look? What really matters? There is a freedom, a shedding of burdens. My sister had a terminally ill friend who quit his job, bought a sailboat, and sailed around the world. If he was going to pass away, he would do it, doing what he loved. He was free. Funny thing happened: he had an impossible and miraculous recovery and went on to live a full life span.

Can we dip into this unflinching sense of peace without a calamity? We can, but we have to want it. Surprisingly, we want drama more than peace. The older people get, the more they seem watch or read the news. And what is the news when mainlined into our minds? It’s a major drama fix. Maybe as we age, we slow down and use the drama of current events to fill a void. No matter what it is, no matter the reason, it’s always time to tune into our inner knowing. That’s what those people who face death with dignity and curiosity tap into, an inner knowing.

Jessie K. Crum wrote a fascinating book entitled The Art of Inner Listening that tells how she and others developed a superior skill for listening to that higher wisdom. A group met weekly. Each sat with a notebook and a question of substance was posited. Each person meditated and sat thoughtfully and wrote down her thoughts. The results were astounding, and the women not only received personal guidance, they brought forth the wisdom of the ages.

We have inner knowing. We will not and cannot access it unless we have a desire for peace, and we give ourselves time for reflection, contemplation, and stillness. We are not bad if we don’t allow these things in our lives, but it is important, if we desire to wake up from a self-constructed hell, that we know that our hell can end. We must realize that we cozy up to our brand of hell. No need to blame our cousins, bosses, and neighbors. They are only the characters that prove what we already believe – our brand of hell is unique and real. Then we go about convincing others of how hard we have it. It’s a mind trap. While life presents plenty of genuine hardships, life itself is not always hard.

I am not writing this to say that there are not social justice issues we need to deal with or politicians we need to get out of office, starving children and malaria. All those things deal with living with purpose and passion and wanting to make the world a better place for everyone. The process I’m describing is about inner management. What in our lives do we need to face, grieve, and resolve and what is our made-up stuff (MUS)? It is the MUS that we can change. We can change the B. S. (belief systems) and what holds them into place. We can confront how they serve us and recognize their addictive natures.

There is always a better way, a softer path, whether we face a pandemic or the dark night of the soul. We have a map inside, ready to assist us in our journey, and when we focus inward and follow that map, we find that our lives are EZier and EZier. Wear your masks, your gloves, stay home if you can, and wash your hands. Be practical and magical!

  Abundance Affirmations

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 video for the prosperity team, and everyone who watches those videos becomes a part of the prosperity team.

You too can join the Prosperity Team by watching Anne’s Dr. Money channel.
