The Anne Report

Dear ,

Winter weather peeps in and out in Summerville, South Carolina; therefore Jim takes the outside potted plants in and out of the garage frequently. Last week the temperatures ranged from 76° to 29°. I think the plants must be confused. “Should we be dormant or expressive?” I believe plants are living beings and I love them as if they were little children. I had a plant I loved when I lived in Texas. It was a large peace lily. I talked with it every day to get it ready for our drive to Texas. At the last minute I decided not to take the plant and gave it to my next-door neighbor. It is good I did, because it would have been quite the ordeal to have it in my front seat during the May car crash. It was one of those times when my intuition paid off.

We have one more vehicle in our driveway at present. My car was totaled in May during that eventful crash. We finally got around to getting a replacement. It is a 2017 Prius, and it is complicated to use all the equipment. We are currently working to figure out its endless mysteries. We can get our emails, the local weather--current and projected, and place a phone on the center console to recharge it. It has a backup camera, alarms when you drive outside the lines, and a GPS. And there Is plenty more. I think I will skip getting a flying car. Did you know they sell for $599 K?

We are in a new house and we are grateful for double pane windows. Construction here is rampant, and concrete trucks, trash dumpster trucks, and workman trucks start early in the morning and roll intermittently until dark. Those back up beepers are handy to announce that a truck is backing up, but their sounds are a bit unnerving. I am happy to be able to open our windows on occasion, but feel like I am in a hospital room when they are open. There is always that inconvenience when one lives in a new subdivision. We live in a high density home area. They are building 200 homes in our area and plan for up to 8 K more. Yikes!

  Main Article

Spiritual Journey

When I sit down to write, I often have a topic. It may not be well thought out, but I elaborate on some idea I’ve written down on a scrap of paper. Sometimes I awaken and there’s an article coming through. It’s like a voice that demands I not only listen, but that I take notes. Then there are the times there is nothing. It’s like ordinary life has staked her spot and she sits, tight-lipped, and she’s not sharing.

The writing process is like life. Sometimes it’s passionately consuming, other times there’s a lazy stretch, and sometimes there’s sleep. We tend to put demands on the present. We want it to be perfect, enjoyable, and have a tad of excitement. If life were a food, we would want it to be prepared by a French chef. In reality, who has a personal French chef?

Given these narrow parameters of acceptability, no wonder there is always a buzz about acceptance in the air. Life requires a mitigating element to soften our demanding expectations. What is acceptance? It is the relationship we have with the naked now moment; the moment that is not littered with demands and judgments. I once had a client, Sue (not her real name), to whom I was trying to get across the idea of acceptance. If she could strip away the harsh judgments about her life situation, she could get relief. Regrettably, she could not accept acceptance. She was against it because she thought that if she accepted things the way they were, she would be stuck in the situation. I was unsuccessful in communicating the essence of acceptance to her. Acceptance is an emotional bargain we make with our feelings. It is not an agreement we make with our actions. Acceptance means we will not argue with the moment, yet it does not preclude acting. I can accept the fact that my car is unreliable, and not dwell in the thought of being the victim of a defective car, but that acceptance does not stop me from buying another car.

How many helpmates do we have that are like the emotionally calming idea of acceptance? There are many ideas for emotional relief that we may not readily embrace.

I have a friend who was estranged from his daughter. There was hostility on both sides. As he developed spiritually, he began to realize that his anger and hurt were a form of vengeance he held against himself. He started practicing forgiveness. He pictured his daughter happy and imagined how it would be if they were happy and reunited. He held no expectations; he wanted kind images in his head when he thought about his daughter. He understood that the grudges he held were hurting himself. After all, he was the one whose blood pressure would go up when he thought about the situation. He realized that forgiveness was not about punishment; forgiveness was about letting go of the upset. Then something miraculous happened. His daughter contacted him and wanted to reunite. She wanted to make amends. She apologized. At this point, he did not need an apology. His heart had grown big enough to love his daughter despite their past. They happily reunited.

Acceptance and forgiveness are two ideas that spiritually directed people use routinely. When we are inner directed, we value our peace above all. We do not take our right to be upset, even about a most unsettling event, and indulge. As we practice these principles in our everyday lives, we dissolve layers of pain and hurt. It is only when we remove these barriers and stored up anguish, that we begin anew in our journey to experience the truth of our being. We cannot expect to know who we truly are, until we detox our emotions and our need for pay back. It is only when we face the moment, without needing it to be different, and when we stop holding grudges against ourselves and others, that we are ready for Self-Realization. And when we are ready to give up our limited points of view, and willing for our lives to change, everything becomes EZier and EZier. And only then are we destined to be members of an inner society of joy and peace.

  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.
