by Reverend Anne Marie Evers

First of all I wish to take this opportunity to wish everyone a Happy, Prosperous, Healthy, Safe Summer. If you are going on holidays, enjoy them. If you stay at home and work around the house, enjoy that, if you work in garden, enjoy that and if you are working at your job, find enjoyment in that too. Life is what you make of it.

Remember what I keep preaching to you all... Live in the now; spread today’s jam thick on your bread today. Today is all we have and remember, “Today is the first day for the rest of your life!

This month I want to touch on the money issue as I receive so many emails, phone calls and letters from readers who have a financial crisis or problem.

 Why is money so hard for some of us to keep in our possession? Or get it in the first place?

 Please read my article in this Newsletter titled - Money or the Lack of it.

This talk will be held in the Wildfire Room in the Embassy Suites Hotel, Paradise Valley (Phoenix) Arizona.

I would be so happy to have you attend this conference and when you do, please make yourself known to me and please tell me that you read it on our Affirmations-media Website.

The Affirm and Learn Enhancement Program

My co-author of The Anti-Violence Program for Children, The Affirm and Learn Enhancement Program is Ms. Marjie Nistad who is a Grade Three teacher in Washington State. 

 We are the chairpersons for the Kids’ Camp (Youth Program) for the INTA Congress 2003, Phoenix, AZ to be held during that time.  

 We will be presenting The Affirm and Learn Enhancement Program. We are very excited about this opportunity to teach children about the power of Affirmations. For those of you who may not be familiar with how we wrote 

The Affirm and Learn Enhancement Program, it all began with my first book, which we lovingly refer to as “The Mother-ship” book, Affirmations Your Passport to Happiness. We took information, methods, exercises and affirmations from this book and together with my co-author’s twenty plus years of school teaching information, we wrote this wonderful, anti-violence program. 

It Consists of Three Parts

 (a)    Family -A -Firm Partnership; 

(b)   School; and 

(c)   Community The Think Affirmations Club (TAC).

The purpose of The Affirm and Learn Enhancement Program is to educate parents, teachers, children and communities about our anti-violence program. 

All three of these programs have been reviewed and tested and every effort possible has been made to make them as accurate and meaningful as possible.

This program is based on positive thinking and Affirmations. Affirmations are groups of words put together to make sentences, paragraphs and then stories. Affirmations are similar to prayers, goals or wishes only they are more structured and specific. Simply put, the basis of all Affirmations is positive thinking.

The Affirm and Learn Enhancement Program teaches parents, teachers, students, families and communities how to enjoy their lives sharing positive times together.

The Family (A-Firm Partnership)

This is a program designed for the family. Being a parent is the biggest job you will ever have. There are no specific qualifications or special education required for entrance into parenthood. This program gives ideas, suggestions, methods and exercises f or successful communication and dealing with every day family issues. It has been tested in British Columbia and Washington State.

Positive Results 

Improved behavior of the children involved. A commencement of an Anti-violence organization was started in the neighborhood complex, which is ongoing and very successful.

School – An anti-Violence Program

This program gives straightforward, effective exercises, lessons and activities that motivate students and teachers to learn while experiencing new ideas. It stirs the creativity within and motivates learners of all ages. It has been implemented into a third grade class in Kendal Elementary School, in Kendall, WA for three consecutive years.

Positive Results

There has been decreased fighting among students and more willingness to problem-solve for a solution. They are thinking before they speak and using less hurtful words to each other. Students are using strategies from these lessons to protect themselves against bullying or teasing. They are more respectful and polite to each other and adults.

Community – The Think Affirmations Club (TAC) 

This program has activities that give students the skills to work as team members, which assists them to be successful in their future careers. This club is designed to meet twice a month with fun projects that connect community service. Club members learn to work with a diversity of people and give back to society. This program has also been tested in British Columbia and Washington State.

Positive Results

There has been a noticed improvement among club members in coming up with solutions to conflict, working together and a strong sense of belonging to an organization. Members felt that they were valued and respected. Parents commented on their enthusiasm and participation in community events.

It is important to be realistic when working with any part of the Affirm and Learn Enhancement Program. This is not a program that is taught just once. As people learn and use the techniques and strategies in this program, they continue to re-enforce and integrate the knowledge of what they have learned into their daily lives.

Letters to the Publisher:

Publisher,
Rev. Anne Marie Evers www.netadssell.com/affirmations
Telephone: (604) 988.9907

Dear Anne Marie,

I am in the process of starting to write my book on the ins and outs of Love. Where do you think I should start? I only have a few hundred dollars saved and I have hand written many pages. Please help as I feel a burning desire to get my message out into the Universe. Thanking you in advance - Paula

Dear Paula,

First of all you certainly have the first ingredient required for writing a book or any other project, 
and that is a burning desire. You said the magic words. What I would suggest is that you type your 
manuscript or have it typed. It is a good idea for you to read it over several times, deleting, changing 
and adding. When I did my first book, Affirmations Your Passport to Happiness, I printed it out 20 times 
and re-read, re-wrote and re-typed. It is always a good idea to put down all your ideas and then you can 
go through and delete and shorten it. When you feel good about your book and that it is ready for the 
next step, contact an editor/proof reader and ask him or her to give you constructive criticism. Find a 
person who can and will put it into a format that is acceptable as a book, etc. foreword, table of contents, 
section pages and chapters. This is very important to make it easy to read. I suggest using a 
good-sized print. Now you need to engage the services of an artist to prepare the cover and any 
illustrations, pictures, etc. The next step in self-publishing is to find a good, reliable, reasonable 
printing company. Should you engage the services of a Self-Publishing Company, they will guide 
you through the steps of seeing your book in print

There is a great deal of work and time that goes into the writing of any book, as any author will tell 
you. It takes patience, hard work, dedication  and focus. I say that I have initials behind my name.

 Rev. Anne Marie Evers, P.H.D. (letters mean Perseverance, Handwork and Dedication).

 Paula, it is very time consuming, exacting hard work, but it is so rewarding when readers email, 
write to you, phone you and tell you how your book has impacted their lives for the better.

I never thought that I could ever write a book, or even be able to sell a book twelve years ago, 
but now I have reprinted my original book, Affirmations Your Passport to Happiness for its 5th 
edition and have written Affirmations Your Passport to Lasting, Loving Relationships, Affirmations 
Your Passport to Prosperity/Money and The Anti-Violence Program for Children (3 Manuals) and 
four Children’s Books as well as created and designed my own set of Cards of Life.

You can go to the site www.cardsoflife.com  and play the Cards of Life Game. Over 10,600 
people have played the game to date.

Also Paula you may need to save some more money, or get a publishing house interested in publishing 
your book. I wish you much luck and I know that if you really, really, really want to do it, you will!

 Also it may be the time to do an affirmation as follows:

“I, Paula deserve and now am a published author of my book  ______. It is very successful and 
selling very quickly and becomes a best seller. I am happy, prosperous and fulfilled to the good of 
all parties concerned. Thank you, thank your, thank you.”

Love 
Rev Anne Marie Evers

Your may wish to pick up a copy of my latest book, Affirmations Your Passport to Prosperity/Money 
just hot off the press!

Re-Printed by Request ...  remember this story ???

Dear Rev. Anne Marie,

We are so excited to write to you and tell you about a game we made up and are doing thanks to 
you and your teachings of affirmations.

It is based on the old game, 'Bird, Animal or Fish.' This is when a person who is IT, points to another 
person and says the word, Bird, Animal or Fish. The person pointed to has up to 10 seconds to say 
the species of Bird, Animal or Fish. This has to be one that has not been said before. The person 
pointing counts to ten and if the name of species is not said within that time frame, that person is IT 
and the game carries on.

Our game is based on affirmations. I start the game using one of the categories, Love, Career, 
Money or Health. I point to a person and say one of those words and that person has ten seconds to 
say an affirmation of what he or she wants within that category.

For example when I point to a person and say ‘Money,’ he or she has to say an affirmation, which says 
the word money before I count to ten.

For example, one could say, "I enjoy spending money, money is my friend, I enjoy money, money 
circulates freely in my life, etc." and then they go on to their specific, personal request such as "I 
deserve and now have a new outfit, new car and so on."

It is really fun and we are learning many ways to ask for money, love, health and career.

Another example in health, they could say, "I am healthy, 100% health is mine, and Health is wonderful. 
Health is my friend, etc. etc. and then go on to their specific, personal request such as "I now have 
beautiful, shiny healthy hair, straight, white beautiful teeth, clear, radiant skin, slim body, am free of 
pain, and so on."

When we do it in a group of ten or more people, it is most interesting to hear what people come up 
with and what interests various people at certain times in their lives.

I never knew that Alan thought he had ugly teeth, Jennifer thought that she was too fat and Judy 
was interested in public speaking until they added those requests (personal affirmations).

We find This Affirmation Game very interesting, uplifting, informative and fun!

It sure beats negative talk and gossiping about our neighbors, their clothes, spending habits, love 
lives and other chatter.

It keeps each of us focused on what we want to see take place in our lives. Not only that but now 
we can all affirm for specific things for one another, like that master minding that you speak about, 
Anne Marie.

We really feel that a ‘Thank you’ to you is in order. So Thank you, Thank you, 
Thank you, Anne Marie!

P.S.

When people are not knowledgeable about affirmations, I simply haul out your book on Affirmations 
and offer to lend it to them. Then I suggest they purchase one of their own to refer to.

Just wanted to let you know that your message has reached all the way to Australia!

Suzie, Jan and Sylvia

Money or the Lack of It!

Rev. Anne Marie Evers

Think about what you are thinking all day about money or the lack of it.  Are your thoughts of lack and poverty or are they of prosperity and wealth?

I believe that we are all meant to be healthy, prosperous and happy. It is our birthright and all we need to do is claim it.

Create, think, concentrate and focus on your desire or idea. It is now a tiny speck in your mind. Increase and magnify it. Make it a small bubble, more bubbles, a bigger bubble and see that bubble burst into the beginnings of the desired object of your affirmation.

For example, if you are affirming for money:

(a) First it is a small speck of desire deep in your conscious mind and then it appears as bubbles containing paper money … in $10,’s, 20”s, 50’s and more.

(b) The next step is to see the finalized product, the safe with an abundance of money in your mind’s eye. In this money safe, there are millions and millions of dollars, secure and protected just waiting for you to withdraw any amount you choose.

(c) Get the combination, open the safe and take as much as you desire. Getting the combination and opening the money safe is the process of blowing breath into your affirmations by taking action.

The result is that you are creating a channel for the manifestation your affirmation. Go within and ask your higher self to reveal to you when the time is right to take action and what type of action to take.

Money has not actual power of its own. We give it power to make us secure or insecure, happy or unhappy.

Do not treat money like a god, or as if it has a mind of its own. It does not. Money only does what you instruct it to do. It comes when you call it through the powerful use of the Affirmation Program. It goes away when you reject and depreciate it. You create money through your own acceptance of your prosperity.

Money is the medium of exchange used for convenient and efficient trading of goods and services. Stop thinking old negative outdated thoughts that if you are prosperous, some one else is not, or that you should not have money and its luxuries because people somewhere are starving.

Being broke is a temporary condition and being poor is a state of mind. Now is the time to uproot those old, negative beliefs of poverty. Some of us who were fortunate enough to be born into wealth have developed a prosperity consciousness. Those very thought images of wealth attract more wealth thoughts and wealth through the Law of Attraction. Should you have been poor in your childhood, forgive your parents for being poor, realizing they did the best they could with what they had at the time.

Our thoughts are also very strong and blow seeds of happiness and love OR thoughts of doom, gloom and fear into the Universe. Some of our thoughts are soft thoughts of love and kindness and others may be hard thoughts of anger and hatred.

Can you see how your thoughts could be repelling wealth from you or keeping you broke or poor? Change your thoughts and you change your life.

Say the following affirmation,

“I, (your name) deserve and now am prosperous. Money flows to me in avalanches of abundance. I use my wealth to help others in need that are striving to help themselves. I am balanced, happy, wealthy and safe to the good of all parties concerned. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.”
