The Anne Report
The Anne Report
Dear ,
It seems as if life is regaining a bit of momentum after the pan-damn-ic. We just returned from our first post-pandemic vacation. Wednesday we sat on Henderson Beach, in Destin, soaked in the sun, and people-watched. Unfortunately, we could not swim because it was a two red flag day. One red flag means you can go into the water, up to your knees, while two flags mean no feet in the water. People did put their feet in the water, but, all in all, it was a walk or build a sandcastle day. We were not able to swim the whole time we were there. The last visit we had to Destin, three years ago, we could not swim because of a brain-eating bacteria found in the water. Fortunately, we were able to have a great time anyway. I had to apply the adage, “Appreciate what you do have, and you will be happy; focus on what you don’t have, and you will suffer.” Lucy, our dog, was ecstatic when we picked her up from Elizabeth’s. She jumped up and down for a long time and, given her age and her leg problems, her jumping said a lot. We were happy to see her too.
My main computer is in what might be its death throws. My husband, Jim, is working on it now, and I am working on my old computer. While it is reliable, it is slow. The good news is that the “p” key started working again. Fingers crossed on my main computer. I hear Mercury is retrograde, so maybe that is the problem. Time to, once again, apply the adage, “Appreciate what you do have, and you will be happy; focus on what you don’t have, and you will suffer.”
Always remember, everything can be EZ or at least EZier. And that is it for the Anne Report.
Main Article
Relationships
There is an aphorism in relationships, “Can’t live with them. Can’t live without them.” We don’t want to be alone and lonely and we don’t want to put up with another’s baggage. People exit relationships with an attitude, “I’m out of here. I don’t have to put up with this sh__.” After the exit, the heart relents, as the harsh reality of loneliness sets in, and they return to their partner or find a new one. The one who is left behind might take it well, but usually they feel the sting of abandonment.
I’m an advocate of staying in a relationship unless one is being physically harmed or emotionally battered. People who are single often long for a partner, and people who are married want their freedom or the chance to trade in their partner for a better model, but neither state is the optimal state. Being married or being single both have an equal number of advantages or disadvantages. Whether we are single or married, our potential for joy is equal.
People stay in unhappy relationships for financial reasons, for the children, because they think they are too old to go it alone, to take care of the other person, because they don't want to hurt their partner, or because they lack the courage to get out. One person in an unhappy relationship longs for more time and attention from his or her partner and the other person longs for more freedom.
The key word in these situations is longing. The egoic mind utilizes special love relationships to carry out its plan of separation. “Seek and do not find” is the ego’s motto. Unfortunately, people spend much of their life’s energy dealing with special love relationships. Relationships cannot deliver what we expect from them. We expect them to give us the attention or affection we never received from one or both of our parents. Relationships aren’t that sturdy. They can deliver for a while, but getting from a partner what we don’t have in ourselves becomes a burden that devastates the relationship.
If we can’t get what we want from relationships, why have one? Because relationships are one of the best training grounds to learn unconditional love. We think relationships are about getting love, but we misunderstand the real purpose of relationship. When relationships serve the egoic mind, they are a disaster. When they serve as an aide to our spiritual quest, they free us. We can’t avoid relationships. All our relationships aren’t with a significant other, but all encounters, even brief ones, are relationships.
What are some of the things we can do or learn in our relationships to help them flourish?
-
Most things that bother us about the other person are things we can’t accept in ourselves. We may only have a little bit of the characteristic, but we have some of it.
-
Blaming our partner for everything means we can’t see our own faults. A good question to ask, when we think our partner is the problem, is “What is going on in my life or in my mind that I don’t want to look at?”
-
Overlooking our partner’s flaws and looking for what we like about them undoes much of our self-recrimination, because their flaws only bother us because there’s something amiss in us.
-
Forgiveness is the single best medicine we can offer our partner. Forgiveness keeps us from ruminating over something our partner said or did. Forgiveness simply means letting go of our upset. When we forgive, we can say, “I’m not going to focus on this anymore.” Forgiveness offers us everything we want. It is the ultimate sword that slays the egoic mind.
-
Longing is from the ego. Exchange longing for appreciation and gratitude.
-
Change your negative internal running dialogue about your partner. It may not be true yet, but since much of what we tell ourselves is conjecture, we might as well give ourselves a false positive. When we change our inner dialogue from one of criticism or grasping, our energy changes, and often our partner reacts differently. Try this internal dialogue. It’s a great dialogue to have: “My partner loves, appreciates, and supports me. S/he cherishes what I say and gives me plenty of love and affection.” It is better to tell ourselves tales of support than tales of woe.
A Course in Miracles says that special love relationships are not necessary, but that the inner teacher will use them and transform them into stepping stones to wholeness. What a great solution. We all want wholeness, and the belief that the universe provides us with the perfect setup to transform our upsets and turn them into the training ground for unconditional love. Let’s get off the battlefield and return to the love field, because when we do, everything gets EZier and EZier.

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.

Relationships as a Spiritual Training Ground, June 23,
12:30-1:30 PM EDT.
Click this link for Anne’s Zoom conference: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/83114637833.
Anne will moderate a panel during World Unity Week.
Her guests will be Bob Warner, co founder of CO Creators
Convergence, Dawn Koufakis-Basel, author and women’s empowerment
coach, and Lesley Michaels, author, podcast host, international
speaker, and advocate for women.
Event Information: Teresa of Avila said that the
Infinite (Whom she calls God) asks only two things of us: that
we love the Infinite and that we love others. If we
understood the importance of self-love and loving others, we would
not involve ourselves in any other study. The early peace movement
fell apart because of the failure of interpersonal relationships.
At this cultural moment of anger and strife, we must rise to the
challenge of peaceful co-existence. Peace is not reserved for one
person; it is the field in which we exist spiritual beings. How
can we awaken to our peaceful selves and acknowledge relationships
as a sturdy path to self-realization?
