The Anne Report

Dear ,

When I was first diagnosed with renal cell carcinoma, I was in shock. I was sitting on a table in the hospital, seeing what injuries I might have sustained from a head on car collision. Days of mayhem followed: getting insurance changed over, getting documents, still in Houston, replaced, and saying goodbye to my wonderful car and my home. It seems like a dream now. Life seems normal, if you do not count not having a house, living in a small RV, and staying at home due to the COVID-19 virus, normal. As we all know, the new normal changes every day.

I will have surgery on Thursday, August 13. There is a 5% chance it is not cancer. Honestly, I think I do not have it. I feel fine and just wonder if it has been a big misunderstanding. Am I in denial? Maybe so, but not enough to cancel surgery! If it was cancer, there have been so many prayers and well wishes for my health, we might have dissolved it. I love Gregg Braden’s story. He worked on healing a tumor, and when he went for a second opinion, his doctor said, “Gregg, I don’t know why you are here. There’s no tumor.” I am going for that story. Whatever comes my way, I will deal with it. I’ll expect the best and accept what happens. To be clear – this is not like breast cancer. If the tumor is still there, Dr. Brisson will remove it and sew me up. I will not need radiation or chemotherapy. It should be a breeze, or at least that is what I am telling myself.

People ask me how I feel and, honestly, I feel fine. I am frequently tired, but I think that is due to sinus malfunction. I am not sitting around depressed and I am living a somewhat relaxed life. I have more time to go inward.

Good news: our new home is in the framing stage and we hope to be in it by the end of September. The bad news is that when we visited it the other day, we saw an alligator in one of the ponds in our neighborhood. And that’s it for the Anne Report.

What Can We Do to Make A Difference?

In the spring of 1992, I attended a preparatory meeting for The Global Forum, a parallel event to the Earth Summit. It took place in Tucson. There were more than 200 participants who were wide-eyed at the prospect of attending the largest gathering of world leaders in recorded history. The possibilities loomed, as we believed this to be our chance to make a difference.

We were an odd mixture of humankind, but our belief in the human spirit made our differences dissolve. Together, we would forge a plan that might touch the lives of others and contribute to planetary restoration. Our meeting opened with great hopes, and then harsh realities settled in. Word had it that Rio de Janeiro was being cleaned up so that when the politicians, diplomats, ambassadors, and others arrived, there would be no trouble. The streets were being “cleaned up” by hunting down and shooting the street children. How could this be? We were the ones who enjoyed the heinous privilege of being protected. We issued a plea to the Brazilian government for protection for the children. We never received a reply, nor knew whether our voice made a difference. We did know that we were a part of the problem.

The Tucson planning meeting included brainstorming sessions to clarify our mission and discover the vision. We not only wanted to assist the process of planetary healing, we wanted to serve the community we visited. Could we possibly identify with these people? None of us had known hunger, poverty, or homelessness. We were all members of the “have” group. I raised a question to the group of well-educated, upper-middle-class people. “How many of you have been hungry for an extended period of time?” I expected no one to respond. To my astonishment, over half of the people in the room raised their hands. They began to share their stories about hunger.

One woman was in graduate school. She could barely pay her tuition and living expenses. She was embarrassed about not having any money. Her family could have easily afforded to help her out, but, in shame, she created the pretense of having it all together. She often got ketchup and sugar from fast-food restaurants for her meals. One day a homeless man approached asking for money. She recognized him. “I have given you a nickel or dime every time you have asked for money. Today, I have no money to share. I am hungry and I need money.” He instantly pulled out ten dollars and thrust it toward her. She was not too proud to receive, and his gesture made them members of the same family.

The session was a turning point for me. I realized how close the threads of life bind us together. How could I have guessed that so many people in our group had known poverty and hunger?

December 10 marked the 71st anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. It is difficult to believe that in 2020, denial of basic human rights, prejudice, and unconscionable destruction of our planet continue. In a world where technology brings affluence and exciting new relationships with other countries, starvation, genocide, and human trafficking linger. In the face of the interminable problems facing the human and animal races, and our earth, the question seems even more important.“ What can I do to make a difference? The question really means, “How can I serve?” When we are fully engaged in life, it becomes imperative to serve. Service is the heart’s call to join with our global family in all of life’s joys and sorrows.

One sun-warmed day I walked in the park. My pace was the same as that of a fellow traveler and we started talking to each other. She was a restroom attendant at a local country club. And as if by fate, I ran into her the following day. Our spirited conversation allowed our barriers to soften. We became sisters as we spoke of our children, loves, hopes, and dreams. Magic happened, and who we were together made a difference.

I thought of the effort that I have made to alleviate spiritual, emotional, and planetary suffering. Here, with no effort, I entered the healing dance: the sacred walk, taken by two, who met unexpectedly on life’s journey. The encounter made me realize that the question, “How can I make a difference?” would better serve me if I asked, “How can I make a difference today, right where I am?”

Dharma, the path of righteousness, is about living in right action. This does not mean doing the right thing all the time; it means doing what makes us feel the deepest connection to our spirits. Dharma holds us accountable to the moment. What attitudes do we need hold? Will we be present and fully alive? Will we let others into our hearts today? How will we treat the bank teller or the grocery checkout person? Will we reach out? Will we have communion with them, or will they become another check on our “to do” list?

Maybe the only difference we can make is to respond to each moment as if it is a gift, and then to share that gift with others. I hope it is easy to make a difference, because if it is hard, we might not do it. We do not need any more burdens; we need more joys. Making a difference can be a joy, and when it is, our lives become EZier and EZier.

  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.

  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.
