Allowing, How Do I Allow This?
July 30th, 2009
“There will be a time, not so far from now, that you will look back on this phase of your life and instead of condemning it or beating up on it… Instead of blaming or guilting, you will feel appreciation for it, because you will understand that a renewed desire for life was born out of this time period that will bring you to physical heights that you could not have achieved without the contrast that gave birth to this desire.”
— Abraham
As I move along my path of enlightenment I am challenged, over and over, to allow something, everything, to just be as it is without judgment or struggle or worry. Some things are just too hard to allow to be. Or so they seem at the beginning. I know, now, that this is the only path for me, the path of acceptance and allowing so I know it is my work to find value in all that I come across.
It really doesn’t matter what I have stumbled over at this time, it only matters that I find a new way to look at “it”. And even a way to value what is. And then I will be loving unconditionally, and be free of the attachment. When I find fault in something I anchor it to me. It is only when I accept and allow and find value that I let go and enjoy the freedom that is me.
Sometimes finding a new way to view something takes some time but it is always worth it, always. Holding onto views of wrong, guilt, and bad are like tying rocks onto a birds foot. Let them go and that bird can soar.

An Empty Place
July 18th, 2009
An empty place….Quiet
Shhhhh…listen.
No more words.
Wait for the One.
That which never fails.
Great are the victories.
Gentle are the caresses.
Wait and know.
Empty and refresh.
Surrender and have all.
Shhhhh……no more struggle.

Riding Into The Unknown
July 7th, 2009
This post goes with the previous poem about death. It is a clarification, if you will, about what I was asking for.
Riding into the unknown, death really is unknown, and it can be scary, what would make a normally sane person call out to the unknown, in the form of death, in a way that brings it to her? Desire, the pure desire for the One. Having been in the delightful energy of being loved by the One, I want more, all other desires pale in comparison. I’ve tasted the pure, fresh breath of knowing and being known. I want it only. There is a giving up, always, in order to have something more. It is only my ideas that get in the way.
More and more we can go, deeper and deeper into who we are, dropping, little by little, all false ideas, needs, and beliefs. Giving up completely. Letting it all go, again, for what? What keeps you moving forward? Have you really found something that has changed your life? Don’t you want more of it? But what if I have to let go of something I want to keep, you say? I have never let go of anything I wanted to keep, the One has a way of creating everything in my favor, so that by the time I am giving something up, I am ready and I understand enough of what is going on that I am no longer afraid, and I want to give it up , because I can see how I am held back by it. 
I have come to trust the One enough to be willing to allow myself to be freed of all unnecessary weight. Just like letting go of the body when we leave this earth realm. It is enough to listen to myself today; and then tomorrow, again listen to myself; and on and on. Finding the lost ecstasy of union more and more with each opening. Being filled with an overflow of indescribable sweetness.
Teach yourself not to be afraid of death. We are eternal beings, nothing can change that, and nothing can ever harm us, nothing.

Getting Clearer
June 24th, 2009
Yesterday I wrote about a new value of myself. Today I am having another new awareness. I want to write a book. I know I’ve already written a book. But now I want a book I write to be read and talked about by influential people so that many will read it. What has changed? I know why I want to write it. Before when I would think about writing and being published and well known I would have this voice saying some variation of , “you want to be famous so others will think you are valuable and you know you must think yourself valuable first.” This may seem like a harmless thought, even a true one, but it stopped me in my tracks.
As I turn the corner on a new value for myself I can see that there is much more here than I previously understood. I love, love, love to interact with others on my blog and on theirs. I love writing and others commenting and me commenting back. I love reading what others write and leaving a comment and then them commenting on what I say. I love this interaction. I really do. All the way through me.
So now I can understand a clear motive for writing a book, because I love to write and I want to interact with others. I want them to send me emails and tell me what they are thinking and I want to respond. I want to meet with my readers and commune around the ideas. It’s not about receiving value it’s about reveling in and enjoying the love.
How good it feels to allow my desire to fully come forth without any judgment, and with a pure understanding of what I want. And now……I can allow this fully allowed desire to come forth. I don’t know any details yet, and I don’t even care. I know that loving and allowing and valuing and cherishing my desire will bring it to being. I know this. I’ve experienced it too many times.
I only had this realization just a little while ago and I went into Ken’s office to tell him. (Ken is my husband and he works from home.) While I was telling him, he looked over at his computer and the clock said 11:11. I always love this number, it means alignment to me, (I got the idea from Esther Hicks). But then his eyes got big and he looked closer and right above that number was 111111, the total number of emails in his inbox. I do feel so in alignment with this awareness. I so appreciate the universe conspiring to bring my attention to this, it makes me feel so loved.
My new value is about how much I love writing and about how much I love interacting with all of you. And that I can and will take it further. Wow. Pretty good I think. xoxo Anne

Personal Self Worth
June 23rd, 2009
Recently, the last 4 or 5 days, I’ve been having new awareness about how I value myself. There really is a less than connected voice that cries, “don’t value your life too much! It’s not spiritual/humble.” I find my attitude about this changing.
First- I know that whatever I personally believe about myself is also what I believe about the rest of me, (other people). So increasing my self value is not about comparison; as I become more valuable, we all become more valuable, in my eyes.
Second- I’ve heard from at least 3 outside sources, that I respect, that when someone becomes aligned with their nonphysical, Abraham-Hicks; enlightened, David Hawkins; enlightened, Sri Bhagavan; that they effect thousands+ other people.
Third- I can see the effect I have on others who I come into personal contact with.
Fourth- It isn’t really the small me that I’ve identified with most of my life, but the greater me, who includes the small me, that I’m understanding a new value for.
Fifth- I know that my environment is created by my attitude toward myself. Therefore I cannot look there for others to let me know I’m valuable. But that it must come first from inside me.
Sixth- I have some things to say and I want to say them. I believe enhanced value of myself is a major step toward fulfilling this desire.
Seventh- I’ve decided to see my value as the One sees my value. And allow new understanding to come. And trust, as always, that I’m following my own voice.
So with these points in mind, I’m moving to a greater value of my life and my experiences and myself.
I think value and love go hand in hand. Unconditional means seeing the value instead of the conditions. And so I open to love myself more and more. Remembering just who I am.
I write words I need to hear.

Glass Half Full
June 9th, 2009
Have you ever noticed how much we talk about problems, or about what we don’t want or about helping others (which implies they need help), or how to get more money (which implies we don’t have enough), or this or that or whatever?!
Two days ago something happened to me, I don’t know what to call it, but I know what’s different. Suddenly and without warning, I am noticing what a good day people are having. Everybody I meet has plenty to be thankful for in my eye. The server, has a job. The lady at the bank knows well what she is doing and has a comfortable job. The man at the restaurant is enjoying his food. My children are having the life of their choosing and are right on track. All that I want comes easily to me. I just know this now. No more struggle, no more judgment. Just lovely people having their day. And all really is well. There is so much to enjoy and be thankful for, so much. I can see this now. And suddenly the cup is half full. And the issues people are working with aren’t problems but opportunities to move toward that which they want. It is a kind of opening. Without fear, opening.
This has come right on the heels of another beautiful awareness I have been having. And that is one of surrendering and trusting everything, one by one, to my Greater All Knowing Self. Me, trusting me. Really trusting, no more control. No more figuring anything out. But just waiting for answers to come. And clarity to come. And it comes, easily and freely.
The surrendering has come just after ending my own personal work. Well, I guess we never really end our process of maturity, but a long chapter has closed, after almost two years of intense personal searching and questioning. I talk a lot about this in my blog posts. In fact, that is the reason I am writing this here. This blog and my book document the path I’ve taken toward awakening. Not that it has any great importance, only that I want to keep the remembrance.
Life is new, it’s not what I thought it would be. It is fresh and free and really peaceful.
I know a post like this may or may not feel so good to you. And that’s ok. But, if it’s what you want, I can show you how to get here. Either by reading and applying the ideas in my free book and blog posts or by contacting me. I won’t waste your time. I’ll work with you freely in love and freshness. Or not. I am allowing my teaching to unfold in the timing and ways of my greater nonphysical Self. And I know what I need to know, as I need to know it. And I……. am really enjoying the peace and love and joy.
I can’t imagine what might come along to knock me away from my connection. But if it does, I am trusting myself to stay aware and come back to myself.
Thanks to everybody who follows along here with me. I love and appreciate you.

Allowing That Which You Really Are
May 21st, 2009
“You are killing more of each other every day over your quarrels over religion than all other things put together, because you cannot even come to an agreement about what you think God says, or wants for you. On one side of the world God wants something different than the other. On one side of the room, in one side of your mind, God wants something different than on the other. The power is within you. You are extensions of this powerful Source Energy. You are literally God expressing in this physical body. And so, as you are standing in a thought, or in a word, or in an action that feels good to you as you are standing there–then you are fully open and allowing all of that Divine Energy to flow through you. And in that moment you are all that you said you would be when you decided to come forth into this body. You are the extension of pure positive energy. You are in your full creative power. You are thriving. You are clear-minded. You are joyful. You are filled with love. You are who you are–you are allowing that which you really are.”
— Abraham
I love Abraham. These words of wisdom seem to cut through any confusion or concepts or misunderstandings. They remind me that I want to offer my words here on my blog, knowing that I am speaking to myself first and foremost. After that, if you or another reader finds clairity or love in them then that is my desire. This is a personal journey we are on and nobody knows what is between you and your voice better than you. I appreciate so much this entire collaboration, Abraham speaking, you and me listening and valuing. Thanks for stopping by and for reading.

Dispensing Wisdom
May 11th, 2009
I think I’ve been an unconscious wisdom dispenser for a long time. How do I know? Because I get so upset when I see others doing it. You know what I mean, somebody telling you what you don’t want to hear, haven’t asked to know and usually already know for yourself better than the teller.
I have decided to allow others to figure out their own stuff. After all, each one of us is Source Energy, and each one knows best for themselves.
I’ll answer if someone asks, gently with an eye to my own humility.
Tending to my business on my side of the street. My business, I am becoming aware, is a very lovely and awesome subject.
How do I really know what another needs to hear, and how do I know when the timing is right? I can’t.
My own life is the only communication that can really be heard.
When I do express, as here on my blog, or in my books, I want to own what I say as my own experience or my own understanding. Expressing first for myself, then trusting that my life can be of benefit to the greater me. And if not, that is fine too. Never with the attitude that I know more, or that somebody is messed up or wrong or needy in any way.
And with this ownership, I can finally let go of my grudge against those who I see dispensing wisdom and step out of the picture completely. And I can enjoy peace and freedom in this area.
Thanks for reading.

It Gets Easier and Easier
May 6th, 2009
You will never reach the place where you will not need to be diligent about your choice of thought. Because you live in a world that is determined to show you every pocket of despair. So you must diligently choose. But it gets easier and easier and easier to do so. Right now, it may feel to you like those moments of Connection are the rare ones. There will be a time when those moments of Connection will feel so normal that it will shock you when you get into a place of disconnection.

All There is, is Love
April 15th, 2009
When we can turn the corner
and really get that all that comes to us,
comes in love,
we can use everything in our lives as stepping stones
along the path of our self awareness.
