When An Oscar Winner Saves The Day: My Unforgettable Encounter With Anne Hathaway | almamyrtle.com

I just have to say really quickly that so much more happened in those minutes with my dear sweet Anne Hathaway & her kind husband Adam (please read the very bottom of this blog for my FB post written shortly after I met them). But…the details are not to be revealed. Instead, they will remain with me as private trophies for me to admire ; ). As for Anne & Adam, they were phenomenal, hilarious & incredibly supportive to me as I stood there practically frozen from the intensity of it all.

Back when I met my ex...then had to meet her… my first belief was that I had to help them to not be who they are, to not be negative & to not do terrible things in the name of popularity. I tried to save them & in turn, I ended up drowning. Since then, I’ve learned to be careful of who I help because unfortunately, some people cannot process genuine support from a loving source. Some people will turn on you & lash out in ways that can make you feel ashamed, take away your happiness…or even take your life.

You see, I'm able to help others with my gifts & sometimes Im able to see my own stuff, but never in a million years did I see this amazing moment with Anne Hathaway coming for me. I never ever thought that Ms. Hathaway, an Oscar winner would come to my rescue & help me to finally let go of the last bits of pain from the past. You see, I felt dim for so many years. There was something inside of me that was always trying to flicker and brighten on its own after having been blown out by an evil wind. ...I can see now that I was never meant to come out of this alone. Help came to me from an unlikely source.

When Anne Hathaway, or “Annie” came around to hug me, all I remember was seeing her then feeling her loving arms around me. It was like a two-step flash then boom! There she was! In those moments, the feeling of being invisible for so many years lifted. I felt seen, heard & cared for after years of feeling like no one understood the pain that I was trying to recover from.

Thank you, Annie. I deeply appreciate everything you did for me. You did more than you can understand. The experience will never leave me & now, Im not sad about the past. It’s over now & quite frankly, you & Adam helped me laugh at it. Thank you for stepping in & helping all of the people I love give me one last lift out of the past. Maybe there is more help coming for me, you know? For now, Im in a new present (btw, I can’t stop giggling at the whole scenario ! ).

For now & for the future, for everyone reading this: Don't give your light away to just anyone. Pray on it. Follow your instincts. Surely in life you will come across ungrateful energies and/or people who under mind your sensitivity, your gifts & your light. That's natural & part of the growth process. That’s nothing for you to try & change within those people. Please remember that you are allowed refuse to help anyone or anything that does not align with your happiness & over all sense of security. Don’t lie to yourself, for yourself knows the truth & wishes only to be honored. You are allowed to walk away. Stay strong.

You are loved & you are powerful!

Love you,

Alma

HOLY SH*T Words cannot possibly express the amount of JOY I'm feeling right now! ANNE HATHAWAY HUGGED ME, WROTE ME A NOTE & HAD MY BACK!! She is a TRUE ride-or-die woman!!! So, I was cheated on terribly & only recently got over it enough to hold my head up. Pretty brutal, especially because the girl who came in between teased & taunted me and ... eventually ran off with the one I loved. FAST FORWARD---- JUST NOW, Anne Hathaway came into my job and... as the Universe & karma had it, so did the girl who ran off with the ex!! I was mortified! I thought "Why God have u sent her here??!! Don't do this to me!" Just as I was about to finish up with Annie(she was SO sweet,btw & referred to herself as Annie), I blurted out my situation in a fast whisper (my heart was racing--I was totally scared but I knew that some how she could help). Anne responded with awesome words of encouragement. She looked directly into my eyes as I began to well up. She then came behind the counter & hugged me long & strong right in front of the girl who btw, couldn't stop looking at us chatting & laughing together. She wrote me this note & lovingly ordered me to go to the back room, breathe & pay the girl no mind. I did just that! Im BEAMING! WHOAAAAA WHAT DAY!!!
