The Anne Report

Dear ,

What happened? How did it get to be as hot in SC as it is in Texas? It is full time summertime in SC and the humidity is thick and oppressive. Hum. I guess this is like Texas. People used to ask me how the summer weather was in Texas. I would reply. “The weather is temperate with low humidity.” They look astonished, “What! How can that be?” Me. “No one ever goes outside.”

My grands have two sides. One side likes to ask questions and the other side spouts facts about birds, animals, weather occurrences, and sea creatures. Here is a typical conversation. “Mom, do you remember when it snowed?” (That was two years ago.) My daughter replies, “Yes, Thomas.” “How did that happen?” My daughter, Elizabeth, explains the best she can. No time passes. “Mom, what would happen if the gas spilled out of the tank?” Mom replies something. Next rapid-fire question, “Mom, what does gas smell like?” This goes on all day long. Recently, Thomas exclaimed to me, “Dad is building a racquet for the kayaks!”

If you just tuned in or missed the last few issues, I will go in for an MRI with contrast on June 17. The MRI is for a kidney tumor. I am a bit nervous because I have some claustrophobia. Send prayers. I will let you know the outcome. I have been working on dissolving the tumor and destressing. It is a bit stressful, this destressing. I do three forms of meditation, then chi gong, scoliosis exercises, and energy clearing. I am always getting the feeling I am not doing enough to heal myself. Yep, that is a part of ego’s drama. Just a few pieces of my life go astray and my egoic mind becomes an expert on every aspect of my life. I need to fire it, but I do understand, when things change or look uncertain, the ego freaks out. That is why I was awake last night with my mind doing backflips in the middle of the night. I just do breathing exercises until I fall asleep. And that is it for the Anne Report.

My Story

I came from a lineage of sufferers. There didn’t have to be anything acutely wrong for my mother to suffer. She suffered over bills, taxes, yard work, and going to the grocery store. She suffered over any approaching event. She worried about what she would wear. She worried about what she would serve guests.

This is not about making my mother wrong; it’s a statement to describe the state-of-the-art suffering practiced in my household. Mom was a good girl. She never made waves or rocked the boat. She pushed down her anger, played at being a housewife, thought men were to be catered to. She eventually went crazy. Between breakdowns, Mom was able to show love and affection to my sisters and me, to be home when we arrived from school, and to provide hot meals. Mom didn’t know that it was okay to get angry and that it was okay to be afraid. Her repressed feelings came out sideways. She suffered over the things that weren’t important, in lieu of dealing with the real issues.

As I watched and listened, I learned to suffer about things that weren’t difficult or important. Real pain was hidden, while life’s trivialities were twisted into riveting problems. My older sisters and I took on the heavy burden of life. As we matured, each of us tried to outdo each other with our tales of woe. The older we got, the more suffering we encountered, or at least the more we talked about suffering. Our favorite pastime was the battling “to-do list” game. The one who had the most to do on her list was the most important person — she who manages the most suffering deserves the most admiration!

For years, I thought my mom invented this way of suffering. Further inspection showed that my mom wasn’t the only one in my family who suffered about things that didn’t matter. I had great-aunts, uncles, and cousins, all afflicted with EDS (ego driven suffering).

My father and I were rarely close. We loved each other as much as we could, but my parents divorced when I was two and he remained in the shadows of my life. When my father died, I felt sorrow, but it didn’t feel like the right kind of sorrow. It felt as if I was crying for someone I wanted to know, instead of someone I knew and would miss.

I spoke a prayer of petition at his death, asking his spirit for help. Years later, my father came to me in a dream. On that night I awakened in emotional pain, unable to sleep. When I eventually faded back to sleep, the dream came to me. In it, we were in a hospital. My father communicated with me with words and feelings. “When I died and crossed into the other realms, I heard your prayer. You prayed that I teach you how to love me.” I felt my heart instantly filled with a great love. I say great because it felt great. Even though I was asleep, I was conscious, and the love pouring into me was intoxicating. He spoke again: “If you want to get out of the pain, you will have to quit telling your story.” “Did you say that if I wanted to get out of the pain, I would have to quit telling my story?” “Yes.”

What did my father mean? Did he mean not to share my pain with my support system? Did he mean I was a whiner? Suddenly I knew. He meant that I was telling myself a bunch of lies about who I was and what my life was about. I had constructed a world where I would always be wanting, and these inner stories were creating the pain in my outer world.

A few days later, a dream sequel revealed that it was time to write a new story for myself. I was to focus on a clear vision of what I wanted in my life. The previous day, I spoke to a group on synchronicity. The talk included the idea that we receive symbols in our dreams that provide us with guidance. This coincidence was synchronicity at its finest. The universe went to great lengths to instruct me to create a new story and then live it. (The above is excerpted from my second book, EZosophy.)

I am always updating my story. Sometimes life presents hurdles that I have to dodge and at other times I dive into them. I am diving these days, and even though I prefer smooth sailing, I am sure that life is EZier when I picture it as extraordinary, and then live it as it manifests. What is, is what is, and that is a part of my story. However, how I tell my story makes a difference. Is my story one of destruction or one of construction? Is it one of inspiration or one of desperation? I think my dad wanted me to know how important my stories were and that I needed ones that gave me life, not ones that sucked the life out of me. Thank you, Dad. I took your advice and I’m happy to report that taking it has made my life EZier and EZier.

  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.
