The Anne Report
Dear ,
I am getting stronger and sassier, but since I was in a gut-wrenching situation two plus weeks ago, I am still on the downlow. It was the perfect time for surgery, given the damper Covid has put on my social life and my career. My wounds are turning to scars and I am finally getting my taste back. I am glad, because I was tiring of toast and boiled potatoes. Anesthesia does something to the taste buds. My friend told me after her surgery she existed on crackers for days.
My grandson Thomas made a paper Microvenator celer today. Think construction paper and empty toilet paper roll. We made a nest, from a discarded pot, and some special food. The food was made from paper that Thomas colored to look like bacon. He informed me that is was beef jerky because Mike-E was a carnivore. Thomas told me that this would be the first food Mike-E has eaten in a while, because he lost his appetizer. My grandson Reynolds made a dinosaur too and named it Mike-O.
We have a driveway in our new home and a closing date of September 28. Our home is almost a zero-lot line home. Think apartment style living with a bit of a yard. It will be a big change from our previous home, with slate walkways and mature trees, but it will be a welcome change from RV living. If I ever thought I wanted to live in a tiny house, all desire has been extinguished.
Hoping everyone is using this time for inner vision rather than to figure out exactly how bad things are these days. If we keep looking at today’s events and activities with elevated emotions, we are sure to create a future that is the same as this one or worse. It’s basic metaphysical law, “What we focus on expands.” And that’s it for the Anne Report.
Main Article
The Journey
I never expected to have cancer. I exercised, ate vegan-ish and organic, and tried not to sink into despair over current events. From time to time, I thought about my heroines, Adelle Davis and Rachel Carson. They warned us of pesticides. They told us cancer was on the rise, and, ironically, these amazing, brave women died of cancer. My thoughts were, “When you fight something, do you bring it about?”
I believe that illness starts with our emotions. Ongoing depression, fear, anger, sadness – these ring a death knell to the cells. You may remember my story of being robbed at gunpoint. It took place in the early eighties. It shook me up, so I acted. I tried to protect myself to ensure I would never be in that situation again. I went to therapy, attended EST, and worked on my consciousness. I dealt with my emotions, especially my fears. I wanted to be sure that I was not storing my fears in my body. After a long period of working to create foolproof physical safety, I came to a radical conclusion. I could not do it. No matter how much I changed my mind or controlled my circumstances, I was still at risk. I did not give up on positive thinking and I was sure not to go to my car alone at night, but I knew that my life could still slip away unexpectedly, no matter what I did.
That brings me to cancer. As far as I could figure, I did everything I could to live a healthy life, but it seems that, as with the robbery, there is no one infallible plan for health. I have read the valiant stories of people who survived cancer. They wrote of their daily experiences until they were too weak to do so. Others recovered and turned their lives around because they had been given a second lease on life. I did not have those horrific experiences. I was asymptomatic, and even my surgery was relatively simple. My doctor told me that if I had undergone the old kind of surgery, I would have been in the hospital more than a week. But lucky me, and I seem to have good luck amid what some might call bad luck, I had robotic surgery, and now I just have scars on my belly. Not only that, we caught this thing when it was just a wee tumor. In the spirit of disclosure, the oxycodone helped. Everyone told me that I would be good if I stayed ahead of the pain, and I did. Evidently, I was in some major pain and distress and I am missing 12 hours, but that is a blessing too, not remembering the pain and drama that followed the surgery.
I tell myself – get real. You had cancer. That is the thing everyone dreads, and, I admit, there was a time when I was in dread. When I was first diagnosed, and still recovering from the car accident, I was told the tumor was near an artery, and that I might lose a kidney. Though no one knows until surgery, how things will go, I felt sure I could keep my kidney. But there was some doubt. When I told people about my situation, I was showered with stories about someone they knew with only one kidney. They lived amazing lives. They were vibrant and healthy. “It’s no big deal. You can live a full life with one kidney.” Though it may not have been a big deal to them, it was a big deal to me. My kidney and I were best friends, and the idea of losing it did not sit well with me.
My name was put in so many prayer circles that I should have been the Charles Atlas of health, and though the tumor did not dissolve, I did get to keep my kidney. Again, maybe it was luck or prayer, or intention. Metaphysical people do not believe in luck, but I count on it. Maybe all of life is a part of an invisible design, but, for me, I say luck is a part of that design. The dictionary defines luck as “success or failure apparently brought by chance rather than through one’s own actions.” I like luck because I cannot always depend on my actions! I take action to change what I can, but I have learned that I cannot change everything.
Thank you to those who have called, texted, e-mailed, donated to the newsletter, and those who prayed for me. I am touched by your outpouring and hold you in my heart as I recover. Life with friends and support is always EZier and EZier. Sending hugs and happiness, and a bit of luck.

Abundance Affirmations
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.
