The Anne Report

Dear ,

I can’t resist telling tales of my grandchildren’s misunderstanding of words. Saturday night, Reynolds accidentally drank from Thomas’s glass. The glasses were identical. “Grand MaMa. Yuck. Please wash this glass. Reynolds put his salima (pronounced sa – lima) in my glass. Now it has germs on it. Salima is what makes spit!” I washed the glass. He asked me twice to be sure that I had washed it.

The next discussion centered around people coming to the United States when the colonies were formed. “They were running from King Titus. The came here so they could celebrate Hanukkah.” I think they may have mixed up Hanukkah with Thanksgiving. Further discussion revealed that they thought people were running from the Queen. I said, “So, who was it? The King or the Queen? They settled on the Queen.

Hoping you all enjoy Easter if it’s a holiday you celebrate. We are happy to be here for our first Easter with the family. If you have a few minutes, here’s the Easter Video we made with Thomas and Reynolds last Easter, while we still lived in Texas. In this video, I tell one of my famous Hoppy the Poppy Frog stories. I’ve been telling Hoppy stories to the boys for a couple of years. I make them up as I go along. I never know what the frogs will do until we get to the next part of the story. And that’s it for the Anne Report.

  Main Article

We Are Already There

Somehow my email address was sold to another scammer’s list. This is about the tenth time it has happened. I get a lot of emails on one topic, and, after a while, everyone gives up, until my email address is sold to another set of gullible scammers. I currently receive five or more emails a day informing me of an obscure inheritance, or perhaps lottery winnings. My trustworthy character is always a topic of great importance. My good standing allows me to receive large funds from someone who died with no relatives to inherit or oversee their fortune. It seems I am so esteemed that the powers that be, whomever they are, are convinced that I would ensure equitable distribution of these funds to the poor, or at least use them wisely. The good news is it will require only a small fee to facilitate the transfer of wealth to me. I usually glance at these emails in the preview box and hit the delete key.

Recently I succumbed and read one. I wondered if this scammer had a more inventive or creative approach. The email sported the same dull type of hype, with a bit of a twist. It talked about a white man doing one thing, then a black man doing something else. That itself is a giveaway, that they were not from Delaware, as claimed! Here is the scoop. I am in the middle of this conundrum and am the only person who can reconcile this interminable problem. The correspondence was “see though,” as are all the others, and poorly written. It is obvious that, even though they tried to use American lingo, they had a poor grasp of the English language. I thought about a possible new career. I could write these letters and sell them to the scammers so they would have a better chance at the scam, or at least I could serve in some advisory capacity. Joking, of course.

Rather than feel irritated, I felt compassion. I know the author of the email paid to get my address. Whomever it was, was scammed by someone else, into thinking they could eke out a living as a scammer.

Now I move on to the other genre of scam letters I receive. These intimidating letters have to do with my password, as if I have only one. I receive about four to five such emails a week, threatening to expose lurid behavior, such as visiting porn sites or some such nonsense. This alleged behavior is used as blackmail. I am given details on how to transfer large sums of Bitcoins to their account.

I once wrote a scammer trying to get him or her to reform. “If you would work as hard in an honest endeavor as you do with these scams, you might make more money.” I never heard back!

This may be one of the down sides to technology. Someone in a remote foreign country, hangs out in a smoke-filled internet cafe, hoping s/he can make enough money to feed his/her family. The need and greed of humanity intermingles in a desperate dance, which is delivered virtually to my doorstep. Technology joins us in ways that only visionaries imagined, but, with the miracle of connection, came the good as well as the bad. Sure, we can watch an eagle’s nest daily until the tiny eaglets are born, yet we can also see a man murder someone online. We have access to instant violence, conspiracy theories, hate, and intentional lies.

What can we do about this? Need we do anything? This seems hopeless, but maybe this story can lead the mind to a deeper understanding. The following is a true story. There was a man who decided to sail and live on his boat, alone, for a year. He enthusiastically set sail and was relieved to be out of the rat race of the corporate culture and to live in the quietude of the sea. Life was not as he imagined, however. Sea gulls landed on his boat and made too much noise. He found himself arguing with the birds. He dealt with bird poop. After examination, he witnessed the same dynamic between himself and the birds as he had with himself and his former boss. Large ships passed and sounded their horns. Most disturbing! He reacted to problems in the boat in the same manner he reacted to problems at work. He was the embodiment of the adage, “Wherever you go, there you are.” He took the same attitudes into his dream adventure that he had all along. It was only in the recognition that his habitual behavior colored his world that he was able to start the journey of inner healing and enjoy his dream voyage.

Though the internet and technology can be most perplexing, we carry the same beliefs and behaviors into our relationship with technology, that we had before the online revolution. If we were cynics before the internet, we are still cynics. We are like the man in the sailboat. Our lives are lived from the inside out, not from the outside in. Realizing this is only the first ah ha in life’s journey of self-realization and fulfillment.

Most of us take the next step by seeking behavioral changes, which has temporary merit, yet it is only when we quit fixing up who we think we are, so we can be who we think we should be, that relief comes. In the renowned book, Johnathon Livingston Seagull, Johnathon’s teacher, Chiang, says that the secret is to “begin by knowing that you have already arrived.” And that is the secret: in the midst of contractions, world events, and character flaws, we are already who we seek to be.

We can fear the world and what it offers, but until we leap from the world of “something is wrong” and our relentless search to fix it, we will never be free. This does not mean that we do not take action in our lives. It means we put salve on our wound so it won’t get infected; we don’t do it to make ourselves a better person. I am aware that my theme is replicated week after week, and though we might fall into a been there; done that moment, with the content of the newsletter, I will continue with my shout to the rooftop missives about consciousness, letting go, and awareness. When old ideas are read with fresh eyes, they always touch the heart. So bear with me, anchor yourself in a compassionate heart, and remember that when we come alive to the moment and what is before us, that life becomes EZ or At Least EZier.

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.
