There is no place that makes my spirit soar higher than beautiful Hawaii. There is something truly magical about the energy there. My partner, Marie, and I were playing the role of typical tourists one daysome surfing and some window shoppingwhen I saw a little store and felt drawn to go in. It was your run-of-the-mill convenience store. As I walked around, I suddenly felt light-headed and nauseatedit's the feeling I get when someone has cancer.
The store owner was a sweet Asian woman in her early 40s. As I "tuned" into her vibration I saw a flash of her future. She was losing her hair, and her aura was pale and yellow. I asked my guides where the cancer was; they directed me to her breasts. "Which one?," I asked. "The right one," they replied. The words "early detection" flashed though my mind, and I knew it ran in her family.
Thank God for Marie. When I told her, she said, "You have to tell her." I said, "I know, but I'm afraid." She paused for a moment and then replied, "Ask her for her permission, and it will be okay."
When I walked back into the store, the woman smiled and started to talk to me. I managed to utter the words, "Can I ask you something outside?" She followed me outside, and I explained to her that I am intuitive, and I received a message for her today. I asked if she would like to hear it. With a big smile and excitement in her voice, she responded with, "Sure." I asked if she had been to a doctor lately. "Yes, just last month. Everything checked out," she said. I began to argue with my guides, "I can't believe you guys are actually making me ask her." Well, um, how long has it been since you had a breast exam?"
I had her full attention now. I told her that I knew it was in her right breast, and that the good news is that it was early detection. She paused and replied, "I went to a doctor about six months ago, and they found a lump in my right breast. They said it was nothing and to follow up on it in next year's exam."
I got huge goose bumps up and down my right arm, which is my affirmation sign. I told her she needed to go right away and get it checked out. She then turned to me and said, "You know, it's funny you said early detection. My sister was just cleared from ovarian cancer; they detected it early and were able to help her."
It's striking how frightening it can be to connect with a stranger, even for someone who believes that we are all connected. I don't know why I was chosen to cross paths with this woman half a world away from my home and deliver a message so personal. But this woman's response taught me that it's better to take the risk and offer what we have to someone than to give into our fear and stay silent.
