  The Anne Report

The Anne Report

Dear ,

As we age our habits change, particularly our hygiene. Friday we visited the twins and gave their parents a few hours of reprieve. Reynolds decided he wanted to wash the glass back door. He got his spray water bottle and a cloth. He sprayed the door, and then licked the glass. He wiped it dry. Just to be sure it was clean, he sprayed it again. This time he wiped his nose with the cleaning cloth and again wiped the glass clean. And, as I said, our hygiene habits do change as we age!

I had a bit of an earache and was somewhat worried when a Q-Tip revealed blood in my ear. There was also swishing when I turned my head. After I thought about a brain bleed, if such a thing exists, and came up with other possibilities, I decided to call my friend and tell her I was going to the clinic. I love how the mind comes up with all these scenarios! Hilarious. I knew I would feel better after speaking with Mary. My husband asked who I was calling. I replied, “Mary.” “Why are you calling her? She has no medical background.” But I knew. Speaking with a trusted friend always makes me feel better. Sure enough, she ensured me it was a minor problem and that an antibiotic would do the trick. And it came to pass. I had my ears cleaned out, received a prescription for an antibiotic, filled it, and returned home. My story illustrated two points. The mind loves to go wild with negative potential outcomes, and women practice tend and befriend. And that’s it for the Anne Report.

  Main Article

The Supreme Okayness

We are prone to suffering. It started when we were impressionable, sponge-like beings. We watched our parents and saw them suffering over ridiculous things; they complained about taking out the trash and getting gas. They swept the real pain under the carpet, but it leaked through, as they grumbled about the weather or about others. We are imitators. We assimilate the behavior of others until it becomes our own. Our parents were our greatest influencers (unless we had parental substitutes). We were under their spell until we were grown, and after we left home, we were still under the influence of their limiting beliefs and ideas. Their values, fears, and perceptions lived in our heads, overseeing every thought, feeling, and action.

It’s not like our parents and role models set out to control us; they just did what they did, and we were there to witness their behaviors. We wanted to be like them. We thought they had life figured out, and if we followed their examples, we would have a fulfilling life, or at least some kind of life. Or we rebelled. We decided, at a subconscious level, to be the opposite of them. If they went up, we went down. I was a hybrid. I was either copying the authority figures or rebelling against their life choices. Either way, I was under their influence: the influence I couldn’t see, that lived in my head.

My parents divorced when I was young. I grew up with my mother, and the grass looked ever so much greener on the other side. I married someone who was like my father in many ways, no surprise there, and subconsciously tried to recreate his life through mine. By the time I was 25, I lived in an upscale neighborhood. My husband and I were members of the Country Club. We had one child and a dog. We ate decadent meals, compliments of a large, expense account, and we traveled when we had time. My father was a politician, and I was still into copying him, but when I announced that I wanted to run for office, my ex-husband was less than supportive. I didn’t run: I was a pleaser. It was an empty life. It was my father’s life.

After replicating my father’s life and sensing the emptiness, I sought a divorce and followed my mom’s life. I would be a spiritual person with little interest in the world or in material things. I would live on a miracle and a prayer.

It did not matter how right those lives might have been for them. Their lives could never fit me, and trying to mold into anything other than me, brought me to my knees time and time again. I suffered. I suffered at the hands of lovers who left, with finances that caused worry and concern, but mostly I suffered because I was not being me. Then I started trying to be me, but I could not find me. I made out my list of 100 things. It was 100 things I wanted to have, do, or be. While those things were not me, making the list pointed me away from living vicariously through others’ desires. I did not need to take flying lessons to be like my father or drive a luxury car like my mom’s. I needed a paradigm shift or a paradigm lift. I got the latter.

Life is about the journey, because, along the way, despite all the detours, I have lived an amazing life. I peeped out, the real me, from under the clouds of misperceptions, the whole time I was I under the influence. I did not know, suspect, or understand that I was making my way back to me the entire time. I was easing out the old ways and sprinkling each moment with an infectious hope that delivered me into the perfect circumstances, not once, but repeatedly. What was this me, that was overseeing my life, as I sped along, gazing through foggy glasses, rose colored glasses, and broken glasses? I had an inevitable goodness following me like an eager puppy. It never cared what I did or how I did it. This principle stayed loyal to me. It would not let me go, and even though I did not know it was there, it comforted me and guided me along the way. It was The Supreme Okayness.

No matter what happens, The Supreme Okayness has it. Each action, each reaction, every twist and turn, are overseen by this force. Every mistake eventually feeds the garden of our lives, and every wrong turn leads toward serendipity. We can stress and worry if we want to, but regardless, The Supreme Okayness continues to move, in our lives and as our lives. That is the EZ secret. Our messes become our blessings, our control leads us to surrender, our resistance births acceptance, and our despair becomes our hope. We can deny this truth, but when we let go and rely on The Supreme Okayness, everything can be EZ or at least EZier.

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.
