The Anne Report

Dear ,

The dust is settling. There is a lot to do in our new house, but with the help of my BFF, and my daughter, Jim and I are semi-settled and can live an almost normal life. My friend returned home on Saturday and I will miss her, but she vowed to visit frequently. The garage is filled with boxes, and almost everyone who has moved, identifies with those boxes. I have heard of people who have unopened boxes from two or three moves ago.

I have some PTSD from the May auto crash, and I have driven a bit, but only short distances in Mt. Pleasant. I have not driven anywhere else. Even riding in a car has been difficult, but I am improving. This week I drove for the first time in Summerville. I successfully made a left turn and, while this might sound like a small accomplishment, the last left turn I made ended in a head on car crash. You might remember that I was sitting still in a left-hand lane, ready to turn, when a car turned into the center lane and crunched my car. I fared better than the car, which was totaled. I am happy to work through this, but I will be happier when we get a small car. I have never driven our truck much, it is so honking big, but that is what I must work with now. Driving the truck is radically different from driving my Prius.

My birthday came and went, but not without a fight. It dribbled on for days and we celebrated on multiple occasions. But now my birthday is officially over and, at the tender age of 72, I still feel more like I am at a beginning rather than at an end. And that’s it for the Anne Report.

  Main Article

Perspective

My husband uses this phrase, “It’s all relative,” frequently. Though I know what he means, the statement seems to fall short of his intended meaning. His response ruffles my feathers a bit. When I say something is a tragedy, or “isn’t that big?,” I do not want to hear, “It’s all relative.” My friend puts it a different way, “It is a matter of perspective.” My mind rumbles with that thought, in a good way. Perspective means that people look at the same event or circumstance in different ways. From my husband’s perspective, it is a great way to communicate. He loves the saying “It’s all relative,” but from my perspective, it sounds like a new age platitude or a way of down-playing my insights.

There is an old saying that if one wears shoes, the whole world is covered with leather. We can walk through grass, rocky terrain, or sand and we still feel leather on our feet. The sand does not go between our toes, the grass does not tickle our feet, and we do not feel the smooth, sun-warmed stones as we walk by the lake. It seems like a lost chance. Shoes isolate us from the adventure of sensation and connection to the earth.

Changing our perspective can radically shift our outlook. Let us change the perspective on wearing shoes. If we wear leather shoes, we do not have to cover the earth with leather. We can protect our feet without interfering with nature. How wonderful. We can be respectful and harm little.

The idea of perspective is helpful because it tells us that we can look at things differently and in doing so we can lighten our load or develop compassion. Let us say that when we hug a certain person, they always back away or give a sideways hug. We think they do not like us. When we hear that they were sexually abused as a child and that touch, to them, at a subconscious level, means danger, we no longer take their behavior personally. When we learn their back story, our perspective changes.

Can we change our perspective even if we do not hear the back story? The popular spiritual book, A Course in Miracles, offers a revolutionary way to change our perspective. When we see someone acting out, or even acting uncharitably toward us, we are asked to see it as a call for love. Instead of trying to protect our egos, can see a wounded person crying for love through a haze of misdirected thoughts, feelings, and experiences. Can our thought be, “It’s a cry for love?” This does not mean that we free a criminal from the consequences of breaking the law, but it offers a way for us to use every life encounter as a means to opening, rather than closing, our hearts.

Changing the way I tell my story rectifies my perspective. I even make up stories I do not believe or that are not true. When I have what seems to be too much to do, here is the scenario I sometimes set up in my mind. “Suppose someone called and asked if I could finish all my work today. They tell me if I finish, I will be awarded one million dollars. There is one catch. I must be happy as I complete my work - no suffering, no feeling sorry for myself.” If this really happened, I am sure I could do it. If I could give up suffering and feeling burdened because I was getting a reward, that tells me that even without the reward I could change my perspective. I could tell myself how good I would feel when I was through. I could congratulate myself on my skills and my willingness to do this. I could look at my payoff for suffering.

Changing perspective takes practice, as well as a wholehearted desire and willingness to enjoy our lives more and more each day. Given this new perspective, I guess I do not have to be triggered when my husband says, “It’s all relative.” And that will definitely make our lives EZier! Changing our perspective is a Master Healer. It softens judgment, redirects our energy, and extricates us from our imagined and even our real burdens. We are magicians, master crafters of our well-being, and when we move our minds in a more compassionate or peaceful direction, our lives become 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.
